Playa Blanca Waterfront Resort Pool Spa Dock Kayaks Pets Extended stay discounts

The house is in a good location for a quiet trip. The pool and hot tub are great amenities. The kayaks are a great addition as well but a little hard to launch from the dock. Great spot to fish as well. The owner was very responsive of any questions we had. Anna maria is a great beach to visit for the day. The house overall was a good fit for my group size wise. The washer and dryer was a little confusing but the owner helped teach us what to do.

The house is on a quiet dead end street with very friendly neighbors. The screened pool was in excellent condition and a constant 88 degrees. Sunsets from the dock area were beautiful. The host and hostess were very responsive to my requests. I was very comfortable there for many weeks.

Home is nice, pool was warm (paid extra), communication with host was excellent and they were very friendly and helpful. I would say that as a host to make your clients more comfortable:Some tropical comforters/ pillows in the master, overall a lighter brighter decor, as most of us are from the grey north and we yearn for a taste of the tropics… ha even if just with beach prints inside. As for the pool area maybe fix up the waterfall and add a couple loungers for mature adults Replace pavers with something smoother,, the bricks are kinda icky. But overall nice home , plenty of space, very warm Pool, attentive owners!

Owner was great to communicate. Internet was in and out at the house most of the stay-tv requires internet. Hot tub had sand in it from the 'sand yard'...also hot tub had to be preheated for 30 min prior to u wanting it hot. 'Sand' area is outside of the lanai this completely swarmed with bugs so it was unusable. The laundry required payment (we knew) but didnt realize it was gonna be $2.50 per wash and $2 per dry. I usually wash owners towels used in the pool often but this forced me not to. We used the washer and it was great but chose to air dry our clothes outside. Kitchen was stocked well although as with most rentals the knife selection didnt cut so i would take your own. The bed with full bottom twin top is metal and was so squeaky my kids couldnt sleep on it withojt waking each other up. Fishing was fair from the dock, although the dock lights did not work. This property was not bad by far. We have stayed in 5 or 6 other florida properties that have had much bigger issues. This review is simply for the nit picky mommas who like me wanna know EVERYTHING ?

The fishing was great, and the rooms were great.

Christmas vacation 12/20-12/27/23. We had a good stay and loved the location! I would give it 4.5 stars. The communication was good and they responsive to our needs. The hot tub was a game changer and made the entire trip! It was cooler and without the warmth of the hot-tub it would have been difficult to enjoy the pool. It was completely worth the heating fee to enjoy the outside area! We were traveling with teenager/adult children (6 of us total) The sleeping configuration would be more suited to smaller children. Although the primary beds and bottom beds of the bunk beds were Ok, the upper bunks would not at all be suitable older/larger children. The waterproof mattress pads which would be beneficial for younger children was a bit noisy and very hot for teenagers. The outdoor area is as pictured. The landscape between the hot tub and pool needs to be totally revamped! Even with teenagers, they had minor injuries on the rocks between the hot tub and the pool and although I can see the vision of the landscape, it totally missed its mark. The location and ability to kayak to the bay was one of the reasons we chose this house. The kayaks needed repair but we were able to use 3/4 kayaks after some MacGyver repairs. We cooked and ate most of our meals in and there was plenty of cookware, dish-ware, and utensils. Overall, great indoor and outdoor spaces, great location and good communication with the hosts.

This property comes as advertised without disappointment. My family has stayed in the Apollo Beach area several times and this house was perfect for our needs. The pool and outdoor patio area were easily the best functioning systems that we have used in our travels and did not cause any issues in terms of function or water temperature maintenance (critical feature for winter months). The house itself can accommodate two families with three kids each without any trouble. The neighbors and neighborhood are safe and friendly.

This was the worst experience ever. We spent our first night on the property washing dirty linens. The washer and dryer were coin operated. My sister in law had a worm on her sheets under her pillow. I then went to turn down my bed and there were stains on the sheets. We were advised by the host to remove the worm and put it outside. The stains on the sheets were explained by the sheets being washed and the stains didn’t come out. We ran out of quarters for the washer and dryer! We complained to the host. They wanted to send a cleaning crew out to the property at 11:00pm at night. We declined as we had already washed sheets and felt as if the house should have been cleaned prior to our 4pm check in time. We had to ask for more quarters. One of the other guest room linens were dirty also. The next morning my brother went to take a shower at 6am and when he returned at about noon the tub was still full of water. The pool was dirty and had groups of bugs in it, and the hot tub was oily and full of beach sand. We encountered all of these issues within less than 24 hrs so we decided to leave the property. The host refused to refund our money. I had to file a dispute with pictures in order to be refunded. It was a nightmare and a total inconvenience being that we had small children.

This house is in a wonderful location and there is plenty of room inside and out. We had 4 adults and 1 kid. It is right on the canal with a screened in pool and spa. Plenty of places to hang out and lots to entertain kids and adults. We paid the $150 to heat the pool and it was perfect. Would definitely recommend if looking for a quiet relaxing place to stay with plenty to do. Manatee viewing area close by, but no manatees for us to see this time. Water was too warm. But they also have a turtle rehabilitation area on the property which we got to check out. Saw beautiful turtles getting taken care of so they can be released back into their natural environment. Very neat!
