High Tides and Good Vibes

We enjoyed our stay at this property very much. It has a lot of supplies and seasonings so it makes it easy to stay there with very little shopping required for the month! The location is great and so close to the beach that we watched several sunsets each week when we weren’t golfing. The place was extremely clean . The owners were so helpful and responsive. My only negative was that the furnishings are limited but I know they are working on that and also the yard.. Also be aware that you can not use the garage which I missed somehow on the listing.

Great house close to Siesta Key!

The house was perfect for our month long rental. The house had everything we needed and was well stocked with the all of the necessities (trash bags, soap, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc... The owners were super responsive when we needed anything. They even bought an air fryer for the house when we asked if they had one.
