Island House Beach Resort V36

Beautiful and spacious. Centrally located. Street traffic is a little loud, but not horrible. Staff was friendly and super responsive. Ice/water didn’t work but new part ordered while we were there.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The villa was great overall and proximity to the beach was amazing. We have stayed in other places before on Siesta Key and by far this was the best in terms of location to the beach / space in the villa / etc. However, there were a few signs that the villa still needed repairs. If we used the microwave, garbage disposal, or some of the outlets (like for a hair dryer), the lights would dim or shut off completely. The bathroom shower didnt have proper drain cover. Some outlets didn't work at all and some lamps didn't turn on. The microwave also didnt work well and it was better just to use the stove. But other than these minor repairs needed, the villa was great.

This property has some serious failings 1 Bug Infested (Palmetto bugs are LARGE COCKROACHES) as well as a varied variety of undesirable insects Having traveled and stayed at many resorts and hotels in Florida over the past 40+ years the old adage of bugs being a normal event in Florida is just NOT true 2 Ancient TVs 3 TV s in bedrooms both inoperable 4 Dishwasher broken 5 Large damp patch on Living Room ceiling 6 Furnishings, dated ,mismatched and uncomfortable ( Garage Sale purchases?) 7 Garage sale/Goodwill Industries kitchen-ware odds and ends with mismatched and inadequate glasses and dishware 8 Low water pressure (try showering in a trickle of water) 9 Good news the unit did have a DVD player with the nearest Blockbuster Video in Alaska 10 Does nobody from the management company check these units to ensure basic standards before the start of each rental period ? 11 This unit was totally unacceptable in every respect at a rate of over $2000.00 per week we expected it to match the listed description and posted comments. Instead we experienced our last VRBO rental and vacated the unit less than 24 hours after our arrival and moved on to another resort where I am happy to report there none of the issues that were a part of V36 This unit is in serious need of updating and refurbishment to make it meet minimum 2021 standards

Reviewer Comments: Villa 36 at Island House Beach Resort is in a great location in Siesta Key and we felt safe the entire time. The villa itself was relatively clean, though the fabric on the couches could have used cleaning. Of utter disappointment was the bed in the master bedroom. The mattress was in horrible condition, which made catching up on sleep over vacation an impossibility. The mattress was lumpy and sunken in. The bed creaked loudly with every single movement or body adjustment. The headboard was not firmly attached, so it would hit the wall with each movement as well. We finally put a towel between the headboard and the wall to help, but there was nothing that could fix the tired old mattress.

The accommodations were very comfortable and a short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The lanai was the perfect place to spend the afternoons. TV's need updating.

Beautiful!

Location couldn't have been much better, about 500 yard walk to incredible beaches / water, amenities were pretty good too including heated pool. Where our experience wasn't so pleasant involved the cleanliness of the home. Even though it was well taken care of and you can tell that the owners do adore their home, it wasn't very clean, with sand / dirt on the tile floors at first check-in, found a centipede in a cabinet near kitchen, later killed a small cockroach and found ants encircling our tooth paste bottles in the bathrooms, bed linens smelled like sweat, made the stay / home feel a little bit dingy especially for the premium price point. If you intend on getting out and about during the majority of your stay and will spend most of your time on the beach, then reserve this place. If you intend on doing some R and R at home while staying here, might be best to choose another place.

Very easy to rent & property manager was very attentive to our needs.
