beware!
We looked at this property on VRBO and never even booked and they charged us over $600. We made the owner aware immediately before the stay was even supposed to start and they ignored all communication then stated we were beyond the point of cancelation. No refund even though we never booked the place. They even charged a cleaning fee for a booking that never happened. I would not have anything to do with this owner.

This property is in need of updated pictures. They didn't truly reveal the properties outdated decor and the many imperfections. There was mold in the master bath. The counter top was in need of repair. There was dirt around the ceiling vents in the bedrooms. We give it a 2 out of 5 with 5 being the best. It needs an update desperately. We were grateful for the convience of being near family but I would not recommend this property nor stay here again.

Big house
I did buy a few things to make our stay more comfortable (laundry basket, forks, sheets for the pull out sofas, and some plastic table wear for the kids), but other than that, it was great. The kitchen appliances all worked well, and the AC was very responsive. The smart TV's worked well, and the backyard did attract butterflies! We really enjoyed the screened in porch at the back. The owner was very attentive, and we had a good experience.

It was ok for what we needed
The house was in the right location for us. The AC was cold! The house is spacious. The only cons were dirty dishes in the cupboards, no hand towels in the kitchen and no working washing machine.

Ruskin trip
The location was a bit far from Clearwater and Sarasota which is where we were most of the time to use the beach. House was very comfortable and my wife loves plants so she was in heaven.

Exactly What We Needed
Accurate listing of spacious older cozy home that sleeps 10. Easy access from I-75. Couldn’t get volume on living room tv to work but think the remote needs a special size battery that we didn’t have. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Great Space!
This was a great space in which to stay. With 4 bedrooms, it was perfect for our family group. We loved the set up and the back patio was awesome! I do have to mention there were some issues with the AC, but the property manager did stay in communication with us while troubleshooting. There is also some stagnant water in a bird bath by the front door, which attracted a lot of mosquitos. Overall, we really enjoyed the space. :)
