The pros are many.
The house is decorated so perfectly with a beach vibe. No tacky decorations here. Everything is just spot on!
Lots of different kitchen gadgets and gizmos. Blenders, etc..
Family loved enjoying the pool. Pool gets shady about 4 PM because of the beautiful trees in the backyard.
Plenty of room to spread out in this house. We had seven people total, and it didn’t feel cramped in the least.
Get on Manatee Avenue and head west (left). Beach is about 10 to 15 minutes away. It takes you straight to Manatee Beach. We loved Manatee Beach. Look no further. We went to Siesta Key beach and Clearwater and Manatee had the biggest waves, and was just as fabulous as the others. We would head over to the beach about 630 every night and stay till sunset! What a wonderful way to end the day. It was easy to find parking on the weekdays and even evenings on Saturday and Sunday we were able to manage by driving around for only a few minutes. They have showers to rinse off and clean bathrooms. Along with a food place where you can grab a bite to eat.
Don’t forget, there’s a whole array of beach towels in the cupboard right next to the fridge! There are beach chairs in the garage…. We left the two boogie boards we bought so hopefully somebody can enjoy them!
A few cons or just FYI
I’ll never understand sheer curtains in a VRBO. You’re on vacation and when the sun is peeking in at 6 AM it spoils that just a little. I also will never understand pillows that aren’t very comfortable. Once again, spoils the night a little. Pillows were so so, but definitely not anything to write home about.
I expected to find the Wi-Fi code right up by the front door as we came in. You have to get onto the iPad in the living room to figure out the Wi-Fi. Also, every other VRBO we’ve ever stayed at had at least salt and pepper and a few basics. There is absolutely no basics that way in this home. Really not a big problem but some thing to keep in mind if you are cooking at home.
They do leave a little welcome bag with a roll of toilet paper and a few trash bags, etc. We definitely had to go to the store and buy more toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, laundry soap. Just an FYI not a big deal.
Overall, we had such a fantastic time in this home. It’s just so tastefully decorated and put together. Seven nights and eight days in this home made for a truly wonderful vacation from Utah to Florida. Thank you!
