We loved the home- its beautiful! Beautiful house, beautiful location! We loved being right on the beach...saw dolphins everyday, found so many starfish! Very cool! Management was very responsive- we had a few issues on the first day- ie: the pool alarm, outdoor TV, hot tub... All were fixed promptly except the hot tub.
Our only compliant was the hot tub. It never heated about 90 degrees. The pool guy did come a few times to assess the situation but the problem was never solved. He said this particular heater would never get hotter than about 90 degrees as it's not a gas heater. We have rented many VRBO's ( 3 other ones on Anna Maria) with hot tubs and have always been able to heat them to 100-104 degrees. If this heater is truly working properly and will never get to at least 100 degrees, this should have been disclosed prior to renting.
I had 2 "filters" checked when I started searching for a home. One was pet friendly and the other was a hot tub. We were extremely disappointed it could not be used our entire stay as it was barely warmer than the pool.
Again, we loved the home (its beautiful) but were very disappointed in how the hot tub situation was handled. If you don't care about a hot tub, this is a great home!!!
