Absolutely enjoyed our stay. The room was small but all you need for two people. The walk out to the beach is glorious! Grounds are well maintained. Location is perfect. You're away from the crowds but can easily get to either end of the island quite easily. The only thing I would suggest to the owner is to add numerous wall hooks in the bathroom and kitchen. This would be a tremendous help to hang towels, bags, etc. and keep those things off the furniture and floor since the room is relatively small. Other than that, this place is a gem!

What a wonderful place. Quiet and peaceful. The beach is only steps away from the back door. Perfect for two. The only issue we had was the bed was a little too firm. We were able to buy a topper from Walmart to make it a little softer for us. Other than that, everything was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Of course location is great that goes without saying. Its fine. Clean enough. However attention to detail is lacking.Inside rugs are past just dealing with stains that wont come out they need replacing. Window shade slats broken enough to where it allows for anyone to look right through at night in the dark right next to where your sleeping. Not good. Ceiling fan needs cleaning. Unit itself could use a coat of paint as well as paint/repair on baseboard area in bathroom. Even amount of washcloths would be appreciated. More wall hooks to hang towels to dry please. Also you have an entire entry wall for hooks that would be very helpful to hang clothes towels etc. This is a small unit. Real hangers would be good not the ones you got at a local store check out to take home with the clothes just bought. Info book lacking info and not specific to unit. Where is the laundry?? I had to text to find out. Laundry, dark path to dingy unit bugs scattering upon opening door. We chose a clean laundry mat in Sarasota. Outside rear needs landscaping/ trimming in a big way. Blocks view and needs to be spruced up. Also need warning, especially if you are bringing children!! regarding the overgrowth of sandburs unattended all over the area just past patio leading to the beach. Need to get rid of and make path clearer. Lighting in back of unit is lacking at night. The unit itself is nice but paying attention to these things would make it a whole lot nicer.
