"Nice property with good access to AMI"

"The place wasn’t ready when we arrived! There was no running water and the lights went out 15 minutes into our stay!!"

"Everything was great! Check in instructions were very easy."

"Nightmare! A sinking boat that is anchored in bay. Bilge pump kicks on every few minutes to pump the water out. It is disgusting! Wouldn’t take off shoes. 1st toilet full of pee, 2nd toilet full of poop and pee. This was because there was NO RUNNING WATER on the boat and this was because the battery that runs the water pump was dead. Host lied next day said it was because she forgot to tell me to turn some knob- If that were the case, Leo, the repair guy would have done that instead of trying to find a charged battery. You have to take a shuttle boat from ramp to boat which was not a problem but would have been nice if that was a little more clear in the description. The “outdoor parking” is the boat ramp parking lot that has zero lighting and is posted “no parking between sunset and sunrise”. The “heat” does not give off heat unless standing right in front of it. I woke up at 4 AM and could see my breath. There was nasty “water” in the vacuum cleaner leaking out onto the floor. I am only covering the safety issues, forget comfort. I promise I was trying to have the best attitude and thought it would be something fun and different. Offered to let me take a shower at the host’s house 2 miles away but at that point I was done. Brittney the host denied me a refund, even though I could not stay there the second night-no water. No on site dining, boat does not run, no way to lock yourself in, sleeps 2, and SO much more! Sleep in your car. Leo was a gentleman stuck in middle. "

"We stayed at the house with a group of young girls and parents for a nearby soccer tournament. The house was spacious and perfect for our trip. The amenities of the pool, hot tub, game room and movie room were a great retreat when we weren’t at the field for the kids and parents alike. The location is close to tons of food and shopping too. The house had everything we needed."

"Beautiful home. Has everything you need. Will stay here again. "

"The place is not what they said it was. The boats are not clean. No working kitchen or bathroom. In my opinion very sketchy to say the least. Do not book you will be very disappointed.. The local law enforcement is looking to talk to the owner. That is what a local sheriff’s deputy had said to us. What a joke! Don’t do it."

"This was the perfect location to accommodate everyone in the family; from the dock, fishing, pool for swimming, family room for games, office for work, etc! This place is perfect! We can’t wait till the next time! Thank you to the hosts who were so quick to respond with answers to all our questions. "

"As a family of four (all adults), we had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful house over Christmas. The house was exactly as pictured and is even bigger than the photos appear. It is in a quiet, lovely neighborhood with close proximity to shopping and restaurants. Within easy walking distance, you can find peaceful trails, water views and sandy beaches. Also, an easy drive to Anna Maria Island! I highly recommend this house for your vacation stay - from the heated pool and hot tub, firepit in the backyard, fully equipped kitchen and lots of space, it is a hidden gem! "
