Sorry, no pets, please.
Thank you very much for allowing us to call your place home for 3 days. We really enjoyed the stay
Lawn furniture falling apart, inside needs painted. Kids enjoyed the pool.
The house was exactly as it is posted, in a nice area, conveniently located close to places to eat and grocestores. It's a nice place to stay and very clean. We called about where the jacuzzi remote, indicated by the ules of the property, was located, but no one could tell us where to find it. We figured it out on our own. We also called to get the jacuzzi heated, but no one came to turn it on, nor did the 'jacuzzi repairman' show up yo fix it, as the property management believed it was a repair issue. They did refund the price of the heating to us. Overall it's worth the price to stay, but don't expect help from property management.
Property size was a good fit for our family. We found it to be very dirty (such as ceiling fans & window treatments, floors near baseboards etc) and needs a deep clean. Some of our issues: glass turntable for microwave is missing, no screen on the slider doors, numerous lightbulbs burned out and some missing completely, towels were worn and white ones were grossly stained. All mattresses were well beyond useful life and uncomfortable. There wasn’t a control for the hot tub so we paid for pool heat but couldn’t use the hot tub our entire stay. Lastly but most importantly, the tile surface outside the slider is extremely slippery when wet. Our party slipped on it several time and our 7 year old grandson fell! We had to lay a towel down to keep ourselves safe. You at the very least need to put down an outdoor rug. Would not recommend this rental as it is currently.
If anything could go wrong it did . We were not sure if we should go through with this rental because of many negative reviews, but we were assured multiple times by the property management that we have nothing to worry about , they promised much but did not deliver. First of all, we had to call multiple times to get the codes to the place, and they didn't send until few minutes to “check in time” 4pm. When we got there the place was filthy dirty , an inch thick dust, one of the bedrooms had torn out carpet. Nails on the floors. We had to tell our kids to keep their shoes on! Master bedroom had no lights, they were burnt out, dirty used sheets with hair! and dirt! and navy dark towels with white stains on them from soap or toothpaste, obviously never washed, refrigerator has leftover food stains and crumbs , costumer service person told us we are lying and the place is clean she was ignorant and rude and told us not to make up stuff , we had to send her dozens of pictures for her to believe that the place is not cleaned and it hasn’t been cleaned from previous people, the pool area was very dirty and the pool itself as well! After the BAD review’s we read we made sure to ask and triple check, in app and on the phone with live person about the cleanliness and POOL! We paid extra to have it warm, and LITERALLY said it was one of the most important things! Guess what!!! the bad reviews were correct! Pool was cold, the spa/pool remote did not work. After an hour on the phone with them and 57 pictures they said cleaners and pool guy will come. Cleaners did showed up and we had to leave the house with our 5 kids until 11pm. “This is after long flight and not unpacking” They promised a pool guy will come out the next day… it never happened. So again with lots of stress and time and many calls and messages with the property manager’s… “yes many different people”. I asked for the pool box code. So i can manually bypass the control remote myself! Which they finally gave. (Im Not a pool guy) but after I opened the box pool was set to service mode. Thats why remote and pool heat did not work… it took two more days to get the pool heated!! So half of our trip was gone. And day 4 it read a message “filter error” and heater was turned off again. So we had 1.5 days with the pool out of our 7day stay. Back to the house part lots of ants! No supplies. 6 towels total had to buy our own! Absolutely no care for customers!!!!
Loved the house. Pool was nice. Everything was clean.
The house and furnishings were fine , I would recommend. But, nothing is perfect, here is a list of complaints. 1. When we arrived the pool level was below the skimmer causing the pump to suck air. I had to add water to the pool(2 hours). This prevented the pool heater from working and the pool did not get warm until the second day. 2. There was black dirt on the bottom of the pool that needed to be vacuumed, The pool service was called but they did not do it. Gulf coast needs to find a better pool service for sure! 3. The Spa remote did not work (this was documented from before). 4. The Garage door remote was missing or not included. If you want to go to a beach The Nokomis Public beach is much quicker to get to than Bradenton Beach because of traffic. This is not a complaint, just a recommendation . Overall I was happy with our stay +++++
We were so excited, thought everything was set Even paid for the pool ahead of time, we get there and start settling in. Well... there were about 8 towels (TOTAL! Some were beach towels), and had we not brought kitchen cloths because I LOVE mine, and a roll of toilet paper, we'd have been running to the closest store that night. So Welcome Home was not the feeling. Now onto our difficulties because of past pool experiences we went on faith that the water would take a day or 2 to warm up, so after a day and a half we started experiencing some other problems with the house's water heater (totally unrelated to the pool issues) I tried messaging via the web. All weekend I messaged but started calling because no one EVER answered my messages. On the phone I did at least get to talk to someone, however we went without hot water in the house from Friday Morning until Sunday night. That was not acceptable in our way of thinking, I wanted the spa and pool heat as well but the hot water in the house was a bigger concern! So I felt like most of my weekend was on the phone constantly trying to figure out if someone was coming and then after they did, It felt like I fought all weekend to get someone else to come out. We were losing our time of rest over a major house Issue. The second guy came out Sunday night was a great help and stayed until we actually had hot water. But the pool issue was not solved yet, after 3 days we realized the pool is not being heated and we even got batteries for the remote to the spa, to NO avail!!! So after I got really firm with the people at the office they said oh, you have to pay extra so I had to explain over and over that I did that when I booked, anyway we never got anywhere with the phone calls only with the people that came out to the property, and so I'll close with this... We LOVED this place but HATED the lack of help with the office people, it's really a beautiful place just be aware that if you encounter a problem you may have to demand them to send someone out ASAP!!! On a possitive note, we had a difference about the time we were to leave and when we showed them our view of the problem they did back off and we exited without fuss. So we will be more equipted next time, but I doubt we'll use this management again! Thanks, Hope your stay is problem free, OH and one more thing make sure if you pay extra for the pool that you take proof with you so they don't charge you twice!!!
Great location. Overall the house could use some updates and deep cleaning. Never got the spa/hot tub to work.
House was in a great neighborhood within walking distance to grocery store, restaurants and gas station. House was clean and comfortable. It had plenty of space for all 8 of us. Tons of pool toys, beach umbrellas, wagon and strollers in garage. We all would stay there again. Thank you!
