Luxurious Private Villa, Large Heated pool, 1 mile to beach, 3 King Beds, Wi-fi

Stunning house! Host is incredible and communicated very well!

Extremely nice house. Just a short distance from the beach. Quiet, peaceful location.

PROS:Pool was lovely, interior looked better than I was expecting from the photos. Good location central enough to a few cities and close to good beaches.Communication with Gareth was easy and straight forward. Never had to contact them for anything. Did not feel like any requests were intrusive/over the top CONSA/c locked to 72 or above. Floors *desperately* need a deep mop or something. White socks turn black within a few minutes of walking around on the tile. You are quested to wash certain things before departure, but house did not have detergent. No provided toiletries outside of TP. Would have been nice to know we’d need that prior to save us a trip into town All in all great experience dulled by some minor things. Would recommend regardless!

We loved this place. Great location, wonderful pool, plenty of room, and the host couldn’t have been more accommodating and on top of things. We all agreed we would stay here again.

The house was clean and had plenty of room for our group. The beds were comfortable.We made many trips to Manasota Beach and it was so nice that it was only 5 minutes away.We had a few days where the pool was not swimmable because the water was green but Gareth was very responsive and the problem was resolved quickly. The outside area is wonderful - plenty of places to sit and also lounge.The kitchen was very well stocked (except it would have been nice to have a 12 or 14 frying pan). There are plenty of plates and silverware which was really nice!It was nice having a cooler, beach chairs and sifting tools available to us for going to the beach!We would definitely stay again!Thank you, Gareth, for sharing your home!

Location is perfect, super close to Manasota beach. Pool was a great temperature, warm but refreshing. Love the screened in patio, grill and layout of the house. Owner was very responsive. Also, comes with plenty of beach and fossil digging/sifting equipment.

Everything you need and more. This is in a great location to Manasota Beach and Manasota Beach. Private but accessible to Englewood and Venice. Everything you need to enjoy your stay is provided. Excellent communication, which makes the stay that much more relaxing. Enjoy !

Great stay very nice pool was clean and warm

The location was great. Close to the beach and centrally located. We did day trips to Boca Grande and Siesta Key. The pool was very nice as well.

Great place ,close to beach ,was in good location for wedding events i was in town for.

Enjoyable would go back

Very satisfied with our stay. There was a small issue with the pool turning green, but Gareth was very responsive and got it resolved in less than 24 hrs. This is your typical short term rental with not the highest quality beds or furnishings, but it was well stocked with everything we needed. The very short drive to the beach was a big plus.

We had a great experience! Plenty of space for our family, well stocked kitchen and comfortable accommodations. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the screened patio and swimming in the pool.

The A/C was set on 74 and the house was 82 when we 1st arrived. We could not drop the thermostat below 72 and the temperature in the house kept rising. We contacted the owner and he said that he was out of town and he would come by in the morning to look at it. We insisted on something to be done that day. He did have someone come out and look. It was low on Freon. Then someone came out later on during the week to check it. The unit is old and too small for the house. It struggled to keep up during the hottest time of the day. The owner cut grass while we were there. Wouldn’t that be done while the house is unoccupied. We figured out the house has a tankless hot water heater. So it takes a while for the hot water to get to the other side of the house. Other than that the house was a great layout. It was spacious for 2 families. We enjoyed the pool but wish the hot tub worked.

Host was prompt with communication. Pool was green upon arrival on Saturday ok to swim by Monday afternoon. Beautiful blue pool after chemicals and cleaning.

Very clean , beautiful place

House was beautiful. Great location. Has everything you need.

The home itself is beautiful. However, I do need to point a few things out and hopefully the owner will address these issues for future. 1.The second king suite bathroom sink was clogged and had a slow drain. 2.The beach towels provided left a bit to be desired (the one I was using had two large holes) and they all were pretty thin. 3. Under the beds were very dusty/dirty and a lot of dust bunnies (my sister-in-law lost an earring and went under the bed to try and find it). Under all bed were like this. 4. The second KING suite had a QUEEN top sheet on it. 5. The noodles for the pool were water logged. 6.There was no where to hang your bathroom towels once you’ve showered. 7. The location of this house is on a very busy road, albeit it sits back off the road. Also, this is NOT a 5 minute walk to the beach, more like a 5 minute drive. In summary, I think he needs to address his housecleaning service BIG time, update beach towels and pool toys and update on the bedding sheets.

The house and location are great. We love the local beach 5 minutes away. We like being away from the busyness while still being close to anything we wanted.

The house is just as listed. The owners are great and quick toreply

What a beautiful home. Clean and full of additional items to use at the beach. Loved that it was just down the road from the beautiful Manasota Bearch, kids loved looking for shark teeth. Was able to use the pool which was at 86 degrees. Pleanty of room for the 7 of us. Owner was responsive with all emals and texts. Would strongly recommend this vacation home.

great place! Great owner reacted promptly to any issues. Would recommend this to anyone.

Great setup for a family gathering.
