Great Stay. Affordable and Quaint.

The property was as advertised. A couple of extras that we noticed was the presence of an additional mini-fridge in the kitchen. That was huge as we like to purchase fruit and drinks to keep in the room for snacks. The couch was located against the wall by the kitchen which I are it easier to pull out the sofa bed.The room itself was very clean. The unit is located on the 2nd floor. If you are planning to enjoy the two onsite pools, the small pool is minimum 4ft deep and bigger pool is 3 feet on shallow end.The only negative that we noticed was when the A/C cycled off. It got uncomfortably hot very quickly.These next couple of things do not go against the owner. The game room takes a very long time to cool off. By the time it started cooling off, we were ready to leave and we went at night (nothing against this units owner). Also, wouldn’t advise swimming in the community beach. Water was nasty and murky looking. Overall, we would visit this unit again if ever vacationing to this location.

Typical beach type studio nice area

Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Unfortunately we were not here for a vacation. We had family business to attend to. However at sunrise it was a pleasure watching the dolphins from the balcony. Being able to walk to the restaurant was a plus. Maybe next time we can do a bonified vacation here. Carmen always answered any questions I had within a timely manner. .

Great location and beautiful views but the unit needed a deep clean.

The location is great with beautiful views, short walk to restaurants and pier. The unit is pretty dated and unclean with halfway torn off drapes and clogged drains. Towels were not clean and had hair all over them, the pillows were super flat and when I took off the pillow case I was sick to my stomach with the amount of human fluids on them. Stove had caked on food, the microwave was splattered on and the walls had ketchup stains, the toilet had mold under the rim, the floors were dirty and corners had an extra accumulation of grime and other dirt. Also, when we went out for a walk we came back to the TV being on at high volume (we never turned it on). I reached out to the manager with my concerns considering the price and cleaning fee they charged did not reflect the VRBO or anyone’s standards. It took quite a while for the manager to respond and it was way too late for anything to be done that night. The next day we couldn’t get back into the unit because they changed the code and it took a half an hour to get back in. The ketchup stain was washed off the walls, the stove plates replaced, a plug in the bathtub, clean towels finally and what looked like two new pillows. The pillows smelled like fried food and had hair on them so sadly they were not new. Unit was not cleaned after all, the sink was still clogged and we checked out the next day. Manager is not local and insisted that it was clean but pictures and videos don’t lie unit has been so neglected. Cleaners needed!

Another great stay

This is our second stay with Carmen and you cannot beat it. Beautiful location, easy check in, comfortable and clean. We didn't arrive until 1 am and had no problem getting through security without the parking pass. We just let her know where we were staying and who we rented through. We will be back again next year!

Perfect location over-seeing the water channel to the east and Tampa Bay to the west. Perfect for our needs as a resting place as we were sight seeing most of the time. We stayed over Thanksgiving and manatee were plentiful at the free viewing area.

Amenities unavailable

We chose this property based on the view & amenities offered (mainly the beach & water-sport rentals advertised in the pictures). The view was great, the room was ok. It was very clean, however it had a musty smell. The beach & water sport rentals were unavailable. We were told by property staff that the rentals haven’t been available for a “long time”. The beach was closed post hurricane, which would be understandable except we received multiple messages prior to check in (including the day we arrived) stating it was open and available.

This was a great location for a quiet getaway to enjoy everything this area of Florida has to offer (beach, water activities, sunsets, etc.) with easy access to Tampa (about 30 minutes). We look forward to having a longer trip on our next visit!
