This home is located in a great area with close proximity to Anna Maria Island, and it offers some very enjoyable features. The dock on the channel was a standout—we spent many hours in the sun, caught several fish, and even saw manatees during our stay. The pool was also a big hit with the kids, and the grill was in good working condition. Portions of the home have been nicely updated, including fresh interior paint and what appear to be newer granite countertops in the kitchen. That said, the overall experience was mixed, and the property feels unfinished and inconsistently maintained. While some areas have clearly been updated, others appear to have been overlooked. Multiple window screens and blinds were ripped, and many of the windows could not be opened due to very dated, weathered plastic hardware that was cracking. One side entrance to the lanai lacks pavers, causing sand and rocks to be continuously tracked into the house. Interestingly, there were pavers stacked on that side of the home, suggesting that the work was started but never completed. The listing advertises kayaks and paddle boards, which is a nice amenity; however, no life jackets were provided. With four children using the kayaks, this felt like a significant safety and liability issue. We ended up purchasing four life jackets ourselves (and were reimbursed), but this should not be necessary. Additionally, the dock ladder was unstable and loosely attached, and after experiencing a near fall into the

We enjoyed our time in the area and the location of the house is great, especially being right on the water. However, there are a few things future guests should be aware of, particularly related to safety and the accuracy of the listing photos.The biggest concern is the lack of railings in a few areas. There are three steps down into the pool area with no railing, and another set of three steps leading down to the dock that also do not have a railing. For guests with mobility concerns, kids, or even just wet feet from the pool, this could easily become a safety issue. In addition, the ladder going from the dock into the water felt poorly secured and could use attention. Around the pool area, several of the stone pavers were also loose or sinking, with some sticking up unevenly, which creates an additional tripping hazard.Another safety concern involved the smoke and carbon monoxide detector in the hallway not workingThere were also a few maintenance items that didn’t match the expectations set by the listing photos. The garage door opener was not functioning, the blinds were difficult to operate, and some of the drapes had fairly large visible holes. None of these were deal-breakers, but they did give the impression that the property needs some upkeep.

The house is a little outdated & could have been a little cleaner. We had a clogged sink on the first day, the bikes all had flat tires & the paddles for the Kayacs were in pieces. The heated pool was 71 degrees except for one day it got up to 80. the waterfront view was the best part of this home

Wonderful place. Exactly as described. Host is great at communicating. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay again. Great location. Only feedback is that host sends lots of texts for costly upgrades. I did not need any of them.
