This was our 10th year at Manasota Key and we have been in 3 other units during that time. We found this late in 2023 for Feb. 12th through the 29th. When contacted, the owner said we could add an additional 5 days (Feb8,9,10,11 & March 1st) for an additional payment outside of VRBO. When we approached Englewood on our drive down, we contacted the owner about getting access on the 8th. She had forgotten our deal but hastily got the place ready. Out of the days there, we had our son, daughter in law and grandson for 3 nights. Those were our only guests and we had notified her of that when we made the arrangements outside of VRBO. There were several issues with the unit: 1 - the kitchen lights were not finished in the remodeling process. We had to use a stool to fiddle with the florescent light bulbs so they would turn on. She sent her electrician to get two under the cabinet outlets to work and he said that he could not fix the lights. He was rushed to finish the kitchen remodeling but did not have time for the lights.
2 - the guest bedroom's two pieces of furniture, a chest of drawers and a two drawer nightstand had a nasty mildew and moldy smell. It gave us headaches and we tried to use odor removers to get rid of it. It did not work. We suspect that sometimes they got wet or moist. In their present state nobody would pay to stay in that room.
We could go on but that should be warning enough to be careful. Perhaps the issues above have been addressed.
