    The property was just finished when we stayed here. Nicely decorated, comfortable beds, beach chairs available, kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of room for 4-6 people.

    The property looked exactly like pictures, clean and organized. The only issues we had were there was a smell probably due to an older building by the water; and our beach access was taken away on the 2nd day due to hurricane damage so that was disappointing. Great location love Manasota!

    I loved that Scot always answered my inquires and crazy ques right away. They are lovely hosts and I did appreciate all there help and kindness.I was not quite aware of the poor shape of the area and esp the beach front most Milton. But that is to be expected. The path to the beach was not well marked and so we got yelled at for crossing over via the Condo area but a disgruntled man there. My mistake.The cottag apt was nice and updated and WELL decorated. The stairs need to be refinished due to wood aging. The only issue for me was the threshold from the living room to the kitchen was about 1/2 inches too thick and wide, and was not updated and my 81 Mom tripped twice and myself as well over that threshold and the one leading to the bathroom too. It was very very dangerous and a falling risk for sure. PLEASE fix it ASAP!NOTE: The property is good for pets but I will not be able to go there again due to the fact that I have terrible Mold allergies and the mold that was blowing from the hair vents was thick and black and I spelled it upon arrival. It was a lot for us. I was devastated and grateful to be there at the same time for a quick weekend.Only 1 place to eat and the others were so crowded and had NO parking due to them using a food truck post Hurricane so it was too bad. Public beaches all shut down too.No dishwasher so be prepared to clean on you time off so that was no biggie. All and All it was a nice getaway and a sweet place to stay.

    Property was very clean and welcoming. Lots of extras that we were not expecting (boogy boards, beach chairs, sifters, umbrella). The beach is just a short walk away from the property. Kitchen stocked nicely and beds were super comfortable! Property owner was very responsive when I had questions. Will definitely be staying again.
