Not what we expected

First Revelation , this is not a private single home with a beach , dock, etc. People from multiple homes have access to your yard, dock etc and they take it. The”beach area” is not a beach and does not touch the water. The kayak path is only useful if there is a very large high tide as the path is very deep mud after halfway to the water. The pool is clean and nice but the furniture at the pool is dry rotted and brittle and mostly unusable. The dock affords nice views but it too has numerous safety issues and cannot be used to access the water due to broken ladder and severely damaged floating dock attached. The home is basic and dated, not commensurate with the price we paid. Internet is intermittent and TVs are old and cheap. This property has 2 bathrooms in the house, the half bathroom is outside downstairs and was old and dirty. The home is 1920sq ft, not at all as big as advertised. We stayed for 2 weeks and never heard from anyone yet our yard and beach area were constantly being used for maintenance for other properties or by other people. There is an old resort next door that will bleed light and noise into the home at night. Bottom line we paid for a premium house and didn’t get it. For those who have any staircase issues all living space is on the second floor with steep tile stairs or an old metal tight spiral staircase as the only access. Indoor plumbing fixtures are old and dated and are marginal in operation. This place needs to be renovated….

Hi Kevin! We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. Good or bad it helps us to do our job better and ensure guest's stays are always up to standards. Firstly, we'd like to clarify that our property as stated in the description, is intended to provide a shared recreational space for guests from the Conch Home & the Lobster home. We strive to maintain the shared areas to the best of our ability and ensure that all guests can enjoy them comfortably. We have never been told about the pool furniture being old and unusable, so thank you for sharing that we will address that immediately! In regard to the pool bathroom being dirty, we genuinely apologize for that, and we always ask our guests if you have any issues as far as maintenance, cleaning, noise complaints, etc please reach out to us. We can't fix what we are not aware of. We like to give our guest's space after the initial check in communication so they can enjoy their vacation uninterrupted, so if we don't hear from guest's we always just assume it's because they are busy enjoying the beauty of the keys! Again, we thank you for your comments/ concerns and all will be addressed quickly for future guest's enjoyment. Sincerely, Freewheeler Vacations Team

Top Notch Service

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was almost no reason to leave the property with all it had to offer. Beautiful views, and a great location. Management company was A+ with responding to and replacing the refrigerator that wasn't cooling.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Aug 2021
Thank you SOO much! Not sure how we got Lowes to deliver a new fridge in less than 24 hours but sometimes, the stars just align, and miracles happen. Thank you for being incredible guests. Hope to see you and your family back again very soon!

Nice Property-great location

We utilized 3 of the homes @ this compound. Each unit had all of the essentials. The location was great and made things easy to get to. Had a slight issue with the wifi initially, however the management company was awesome @ getting in contact and taking care of it in a timely manner.
