We had a week stay at this well located property. One issue on arrival was addressed promptly through the property manager who was easy to communicate with. Very well furnished property with excellent facilities on the cedars east complex. We particularly enjoyed the tennis. Constructive feedback is to make the beach access clearer as we struggled to locate, but did not detract from a great stay. We hope to be back!

We enjoyed our time here. Check-in and checkout was smooth. It was clean, bonus for amenities. Location is amazing and close to everything, from shopping spots to different beaches. We enjoyed a different beach location along Anna Maria Island each day: from a 2 minute walk to the beach near the house to a small drive to Siesta Key and Lido beach. Terry, Sandy, & Family thanks for hosting our family in your beautiful resort!

Host was hit or miss on attention. Some issues were immediately followed up on. Others were responded wish automatic replies. There were some inaccuracies on the advertising as well. And some severe cleanliness problems. Condo is outdated and needs a good cleaning. Smells like pets on the furniture. Kitchen wasn’t well stocked.

Eric,
I am sorry you were disappointed. We never use auto replies. We have 24/7 live agents. There is no inaccuracies in the advertising. The inaccuracy was from the binder the owner left in the condo. This is a pet friendly condo and we cannot 100% remove all pet odor. The kitchen is 100% stocked and our reviews validate this. No one has better reviews than we do.

The property was nice. A couple of items were left by the cleaning staff but quickly remedied. An ample amount of amenities were left for our use for the week and the wagon for the beach filled with lots of toys and chairs was great.

The house could use some deep cleaning and some attention. The kitchen cabinet fronts and blinds in the kitchen need cleaning. There was only a bare minimum of chipped dishes and glasses. We rolled up the pee-stained rug in the living room and put it in the garage that we were unable to use because the owners car was in there. We had to buy a Fire Stick to get YouTube TV app because we could not download it on the Roku in the house. The master bedroom mattress cover was torn and had a mysterious yellow-stain. The bedding was just a duvet insert with no cover. We like staying Cedars East for the tennis but this unit needs some love.

The property was located near the business I needed to attend too. The property was across the street from the Gulf. It was a quiet environment with absolutely no difficulties.
I would recommend & stay again.
Thank you for all your help & guidance.

My wife and I just finished a very nice stay at this property in Longboat key. The property is a three level townhouse with a garage on the lower level, kitchen and main living area on the main floor and two bedrooms, bathrooms and laundry room upstairs. Overall the townhouse was very clean with new looking hardwood floors, updated kitchen and bathrooms, and very comfortable beds and furniture. Access to the beautiful white sand beach is a short walk away, and there are ample chairs, umbrellas and a beach wagon in the garage. We also appreciated having access to the garage to store our bikes during our stay. Terry was very responsive and helpful throughout the rental, check in and check out process. We will definitely consider renting again in the future!

The condo was as advertised and we were comfortable there. The issue was the 2 minute walk for beach access that was promised. When we walked to the access point we were confronted with a sign that said “No beach access for East Cedar condos. Violators will be prosecuted.”

Theresa,
I have 3 team members and myself reach out to you and explain you were using the wrong beach access and you were directed to the property beach access to use. A two star review is simply unwarranted when everything else was perfect and your concern was dealt with immediately and the only reason you left this review is to cause harm. I thought you had some morals and character. Sorry I was sadly mistaken.
