Reviewer Comments:
We absolutely loved this condo. The cleanliness was immaculate, the kitchen was well-supplied, and the unit is beautiful and exactly as pictured. The beds and other furnishings were very comfortable and in like-new condition. The owners have paid great attention to every detail to make this unit comfortable and enjoyable. Although we did not use it as much as we anticipated, the screened porch outside was well furnished and large enough to accommodate family dinners, etc.. The grill in the common area was also a nice feature. The common areas were very clean, beautiful, and well maintained, and I felt very safe there. This complex has many permanent residents who live there, so it is not strictly a vacation rental property. The residents we met were friendly and welcoming.Island Vacation Properties was an exceptional company to work with as well, and their agents and customer service were top notch. We would definitely rent from them again, and would stay at this property again.The only potential negative is that it is not practical to walk from this unit to the beach with gear in tow, but it is less than 5 minutes from Manatee public beach, and to us the excellent features of the property far outweighed driving to the beach. We drove to a lot of different areas of the island and like to experience the different beach areas, so we would be driving a lot regardless of where we stayed. The location is only a bridge away from mid-island, so it is convenient to all areas, and is very close to boat, kayak, and other equipment rentals, as well as a few nature reserve areas.If you are big on watching the sunrise, this unit does not have an unobstructed sunrise or sunset view, but there is a dock a couple of blocks down the street that offers an amazing sunrise view, and of course there are so many areas of beach to watch beautiful sunsets. All in all, we give this unit a top notch rating, and will most likely stay there again.
