Lovely property

If you are looking for a quiet getaway, this is your place. Located right on the beach. Beautiful heated pool. Everything I needed for my 4 night stay. I took a 3 mile drive to Coquina beach and took the free ferry out to the pier. Sarasota is a short drive south and there were lots of cute shops. Great place, I would definitely return.

Beautiful Location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our room was very clean but smelled horribly of disinfectant. We had to open the door and turn on the bathroom fan for ventilation. Our bed was comfortable and the resort was calm and quiet. The property was well maintained. The day before out checkout we received a list of chores that we had to complete before we left. We were required to strip the beds and place our towels and linens on the floor; we also were required to empty the garbage, and put the bag in the dumpster. Was this not part of our $100 cleaning fee?

Great low-key beach vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect location on Long Boat Key, right on the beach with heated pool and just down the street from Harry's deli where we got beach lunch to-go several days. The accommodations are modest and resort is smaller, but everything you need for a few relaxing days in the Florida sunshine. Great value and would choose to stay here on our next trip to Long Boat Key.

Received a notice by email from rva that we didn't read til after we’d left regarding the check out process ( strip sheets , remove garbage ,etc) that was not part of our check in notes or in the unit, so we hadn’t done.
