Other than a shortage of toilet paper and the cleaning service had left a few strange hairs on the shower wall, which was promptly addressed with speed and efficiency, everything was great. A few new wine glasses would come in handy……

Dirty/Bugs

The night we arrived to check-in we realized the property was infested with bugs. We called both VRBO and the property owner and no one was able to help. We were forced to stay in a hotel for several days until the property owner could have a cleaning company out (he would not admit he needed an exterminator). Once he had the property "cleaned" again we checked back and nothing had been touched and there were still bugs on the furniture. At that point we made arrangements to stay somewhere else. The property owner also refused to give us a refund. I spent 3 hours on the phone with VRBO Customer Service just to be told there was nothing they could do. I will never stay with this host again and will warn other travelers to beware, and I am also very disappointed in VRBO Customer Service. This is not how our vacation was supposed to go and caused us to lose a lot of time due to no fault on our end and spend twice the money since we could not get any refund.

This guest is the definition of a SCAMMER. BEWARE. He checked in and began his scam. He charged back his credit card and could not substantiate his scam with them so his own credit card denied him. Stay away.

Easy to run 1bed property close to St Armand Circle. Perfect for 2 people but could comfortably accommodate 4 people by using sofa bed. The host was easy to contact although we didn’t have any issues.. It was a most enjoyable trip in an excellent location. Very clean.

Perfect location!

Took my three young children for a three week adventure to get back in shape and enjoy nature after a long stint of homeschooling and stuck in house with pandemic year. The location is in an absolutely perfect spot. Very safe and I wasn’t scared at all to be alone. Easy walk to beach and St Armand’s circle for Starbucks and donuts for kids at mini donut shop! I’d avoid the circle on weekends because did get pretty crowded. Beach is beautiful and less crowded than other neighboring beaches there. Kind of like a private secret beach. Everyone in condo units we met at pool daily were very very friendly and didn’t mind my three little kids being there. The condo itself was very clean. The sofa bed has seen better days, but I just ended up buying an air mattress and putting in the giant master bedroom and it was a 20 bucks fix. Kitchen is small but has everything you need. Owner of Unit was extremely nice and answered any questions I had very quickly. The pool was a simple pool with a nice spa and there was a pool guy there daily cleaning everything so perfect again for us to cool off after afternoon at beach. I’d also recommend wearing tons of sunblock at this beach because the burn time was fast with the white sand! I’d recommend this place for two adults or one adult with smaller kids for a very relaxing, very easy trip.

After had stripped beds etc and taken to laundry and cleaning bathroom and kitchen, the crew showed up. Living room and bedroom furniture needs replaced. However location cannot be beat Also the facility, pool etc were very nice.

No communication. Guest arrived early, and told cleaning crew to go home when they arrived (before scheduled check-in time). When I found out I immediately I was tried to reach guest through Vrbo, no responses. Lockbox is a standard lockbox, with key code provided immediately upon booking confirmation. Not once did they respond to my attempts at communication. Guest was clean with no complaints during stay—any potential issues I try to resolve ASAP.

Great little gem right in the heart of St Armand's circle

We are having a house built in Longboat Key and needed an affordable quiet place near the south end of LBK. We rented for a month and were very pleased with the property, location and quietness. Close to the beach and the gorgeous mansions in Lido Key. Hard to believe we were 1/2 block from Tommy Bahamas and have never been to a quieter place. Beds were very comfortable. The host promptly responded to our texts for anything we needed. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family a stay at Steve's place on St Armands circle

Adequate not luxurious

This unit is a ground level unit, which has some advantages, but with the disadvantage in that it did not have a balcony. This was not evident in the write-up or pictures. There was a very small space outside the living room where you could just fit 2 chairs to sit. Location was very close to the pool, which could be noisy but did not bother us. Place was clean and sufficiently equipped (except toilet paper). We arrived at the start of the pandemic in March and decided to leave after 5 days of our 2 week stay because it seemed dangerous to stay -- dinner parties around the pool, no one wearing masks, beaches, stores and sidewalks crowded, etc. We asked for a partial credit back from our stay and although the owner assured us on the phone that he would do that, after 4 months of badgering him, he does not reply and to date, there is no refund in sight.

Unbelievable location. Having older parents and young kids, it is important to find balance on a vacation spot. Here, you have immediate access to the St Armands circle, with the great shops and restaurants. You also have a short walking distance to one of the nicest beaches around. In the complex, there is also a pool and hot tub.

What makes this property unique

Location, pool, hot tub. Shared laundry room. Reserved parking. Quiet setting. Upscale neighborhood. Wonderful residents.
