2 bdr on Water 1142 Nettles Blvd, Island Resort: Piers for 32 ft boat, hot tubs

The owners were very active in making sure that I was comfortable, even giving me their personal phone numbers in case I had questions. The property is conveniently located for me to visit several Nettles Island friends. I am tardy in giving this review, because I'm a techtard. I plan to stay there again in future. Smiley face goes here!

Nettles island was a perfect family getaway. Everything was just as advertised. We loved the small space we had everthing we needed for the week. Our host, Paul was very helpful with suggestions and communication. We would go back and definitely recommend it to other

Grills not in working order, only two wash clothes, no cleaning supplies , placed not clean and not stocked as advertised. Only nice thing location

This was my second stay at this property, and will not be my last. Cozy waterfront home, there is so much to do. The owner has fishing poles and kayaks for use, and the community of Nettles Island is adorable-there’s a diner and quick mart within! There are window air conditioning units in each room which I appreciate. For the price, on Hutchinson Island, you cannot find better accommodations.

Beds terrible. No hot shower barely warm. Tv remotes no batteries. We replaced. Then tv wouldn’t come on but the owner sent someone to fix. Then it wouldn’t shut off until we unplugged it. Went to the bedroom and that one wouldn’t work either.

Dirty throughout: prior guests’ hair on floor, bedding, towels. Towels wet upon arrival. Dishes wet and dirty in kitchen cabinet.Ant issue in kitchen: Owner had ant bait on kitchen counter, so they are aware of the kitchen. Property in poor condition: musty smell throughout. Second layer of flooring over prior floor makes floor uneven and may cover up mold. Window shades broken. Overall run down with surface patched to hide. Dirty feel throughout: couch peeling under slipcover, black peel on floor throughout living room. No smoke detectors anywhere in violation of Florida law. Given the house is in poor condition, it made it scary to stay there. We are reporting the owner to the fire marshall. House worse than photos: Unfinished laundry room not pictured. Windows taped shut around window air conditioners so there is zero noise cancellation from outside. Owner‘s handwritten notes are on walls throughout property. Owner controls air conditioning, there is no way to control temperature from the house. All this feels creepy and like someone is watching. Please read owner‘s response to prior negative reviews. We therefore did not contact the owner regarding the above. We booked this property by mistake and when we saw the reviews and tried to cancel, there is no refund even if you cancel several months out. As soon as we got to the property and walked through, we tried to find alternate accommodation. However, due to time of year, nothing was available on the island.

1. Entering this rental, we noticed a strong smell of mold. There were many random mats placed in the kitchen. Upon removing them, an unstable floor with holes in it was revealed. There were also loose boards that were placed. The owner responded by nailing down some unfinished plywood. 2. The rental unit is listed as being 700 square feet. It is actually very small 408 square feet, as verified by the real estate listing from several years ago. 3. The washer doesn’t work despite notifying the owner immediately. 4. There is heat and air,but the owner has put a locked box on the controls, so you cannot change it. At times it was uncomfortably hot, or cold. The owner gave us space heaters at night. This is obviously against fire safety recommendations. 5. The outside dining chairs are rusted out and not safe. 6. Hot water heater was set so low one couldn’t take a short warm shower. Owner said use the public bath house. Finally turned it up enough to take an extremely short warmish shower. 7. Parking listed as 4 car space, It was very challenging to fit one. 8. Bed listings not accurate. Several of the “twin beds” listed were the size of a lounge chair, the futon was unusable to sleep on, the window seat was covered with a few loose random foam cushions, the pullout had a stained mattress, there was about 18 inches of floor space in the utility room. This was listed as another sleeping area! 9. We left the place in pristine condition, and we have photo documentation.

Nice place. Everything you provided except food. Nice people around you. Excellent host! Responses from them were quick when I needed some help. Only down side was the weather. But no one can control that. Would book again.

Just in for a few nights and really only used the place to sleep. Nice location on the canal for enjoying evening cocktails. Place was clean and had what we needed. It is a bit dated but that is the vibe of the island except for the few newer teardowns/rebuilds. Owner was very responsive. We would rent again.

From check in to leaving was a true pleasure. House was very clean and nice inside and out. The location on the water is a treat. The amenities of the house was also helpful in our stay for cooking and relaxing. I would hope that when come back to Nettles that this house would be available.

It has old beds and the bedsofa is just terrible like a Whole in the middle. The windowbed is not a bed and it was very hairy and dirty. Underneath the sofa it was dirty as well and the owner had no comment. Every chair was broken and so the once that was outside. We actually was scared that we could hit us. The standard are very low. The pool area are fine and taken well care of.
