Reviewer Comments:
The location of Ocean Blue is great, with direct access to the beach and area restaurants. However our stay was very disappointing. On our arrival we found the property to be generally dirty on a number of accounts. The floors were so dirty we had to wear shoes throughout our stay. The kitchen was equally dirty as we found plates and utensils to be soiled. We had to wash all the dishes and glasses as they looked to have been cleaned with a dirty rag. The kitchen was not stocked well with utensils. We found the knives to be very dull and cheap. The utensils in the standing bowl were dirty and had food on them. This unit, priced at over a thousand dollars a night was not a value. We had just spent 6 weeks in Siesta Key and were exploring a possible location for a 6-7 week stay next year. This property will not be on the list. One of the most concerning issues was the construction between the house and the beach. Although in the notice "construction" was mentioned, the site was a hazard and frankly a serious safety issue. Going from the house to the beach required us to us round post for steps that were not stable, not to mention hazardous to step up and down. There were no suitable chairs on the "deck area" so sitting on the porch or the beach were the options. Related to this construction was the unannounced arrival of workers on three separate occasions, who did no work but just walked around. This too is unsafe. On another occasion we had an inspector show up with little notice. The refrigerator leaked water, so we called for help. Help arrived, but again without notice. The repairman said the refrigerator was old and had this problem previously. The television had all streaming services so no local or network access which was troublesome to those of us who like to see news and weather, not to mention sports (no SEC channels, ESPN). There were a number of other issues, like a "game room" taking up garage space. It was laughable at best. Very disappointing stay
