Tropic Tiki Villa. Private Pool, Hottub, Tiki & Waterfront! Great location!

Had So Much Fun

Beautiful back yard. Great view. Loved the Tiki bar and outdoor seating. The fish jumping in the back yard was entertaining. Great location for Shopping, beach and restaurants. We also enjoyed walking in the neighborhood down to the Intercostal waterway to see the manatee.

The house was very clean and comfortable. The property manager was very helpful with any questions we had. The parking was a little tight as we had 3 large vehicles but we made it work overall experience was great!

We had a great time during our stay! The house is within walking distance to groceries, liquor store, and other shopping. We took a short Lyft ride to Anglin’s Pier for an afternoon of fun. Back at the house the outdoor space was our favorite and the pool was vey nice and warm. Ron checked on us the first morning we were there and provided great hospitality. He was also very responsive if we needed anything. A definite “stay again”!

We stayed 4 weeks in this wonderful Tropic Tiki Villa. Our stay was a great experience from beginning to end. Communication with the Gizmo Vacation Rentals was smooth. Kids really loved the heated pool and the Tiki Hut was nice. The vacation home has a perfect location within walking distance to shopping, dining et cetera. Overall we had a relaxing Christmas Holiday and we are hoping to come back in the future!

We had a group of 8 adults stay at this property for 2 nights. The manager was nice about check in and check out flexibility. The tiki hut was nice and a good option even if it rained. It was super easy to get to CVS, Publix, etc. Only negatives we found were that there could have been more kitchen supplies and there is a bug problem. Otherwise it was a good stay.

The out back area with pool and Tiki bar were nice and we spent as much time outside as we could as the inside of the house left a lot to be desired. We had issues from the first day we checked in from bad odors inside the house and fridge/freezer, the 4th bedroom was not an actual bedroom as there was no door just a curtain in between the two rooms. The washer and dryer didn’t work and repair people had to come out nearly every day to try to fix the issue with no success. They replaced the washer/dryer on the 5th day of our vacation but it didn’t fit in the space and therefore prevented us from accessing the bathroom from the hallway. The hot tub was not working for our first 3 days. There were some plumbing issues as well that required repair during our stay which was taken care of but having repair people in and out nearly our entire 8 days was not as relaxing and enjoyable as we had hoped. The house had plenty of wear and tear, couch was dirty, open wires exposed on the dock, oven was in Celsius and we had to convert every time We wanted to use it, the outside gourmet grill was not working but they did have another grill available for us to use. If you come expecting the house to look like it does in the pictures you will be disappointed like we were. Again the outside area was the best part of the house and we did get enjoyment from that. The property manager did respond timely to our issues but some of the issues had been brought up in the review prior to our stay and we were assured the issues were fixed but they weren’t. We were offered compensation for next time we stay with Rental Gizmo for all of our inconveniences.

Positives: -Maintenance folks were very helpful and communicative when we had issues. -Pool was always very warm -Paddle boards were fun -We can be a bit of a loud bunch and never received any complaints from neighbors -Tiki hut was great for when it rained Negatives: - Did not receive check in information so we had to contact Vrbo directly when I couldn't get ahold of property manager. He was very helpful when we did reach him. -Hot tub was not getting above warm for most of the days. That was pretty frustrating for us as it was one of the main selling points. Maintenance tried to help us but it was only hot 2/5 days. -No pot holders and a broken toaster. Definitely could use a few more basic items for the kitchen. -Smoke detectors were in the drawer? -Fan was broken but someone came out to fix it during the week -The weirdest one of all, was no matter what setting we tried, the dryer actually made our towels and clothes wetter. I threw towels in after it rained, and they were completely drenched after 30 minutes. We tried different settings but the same result each time. It is a nice property in a nice location, but for the price, you'd hope to not encounter these issues. Hopefully these get fixed and won't be an issue for future stays.

We enjoyed our stay and would stay at this property again. The only non-5 star rating was the very small bedroom where the bunk beds are located. If you don’t have kids, this house is better suited for 6 not 8

Great experience! From check in to MGMT help understanding the bubble tub operation this is a first class operation.
