The home was a very nice place to stay. The kitchen was wonderful, had everything we needed to make meals, and with the kitchen table and family room right there, everyone was able to mingle and hang out together. We met both of the neighbors on each side, and they are wonderful people.
There were a few minor things with the home that did not affect enjoying our stay there (paper towel holder missing a nut, undercounted lights taped up and fell lying on the counter, trash can pull out did not work properly), and we reported them to Vacasa. All of the linens were provided and there were plenty of towels. Extra large washer and dryer, tho they ask you to start the laundry before you leave, yet did not provide detergent or dryer sheets. They did provide trash bags for the kitchen as well as dishwasher, dish and hand soaps at the sinks which was nice! The home is very clean. There was a snafu with the pool for a few days. The pump had something falter and it started draining the pool. While Vacasa was responsive initially, the pool guy did not communicate, and we had no idea what was going on. Granted, we were there over the 4th of July, and people are trying to enjoy time with their families, but communication could have been better.
In addition, when going to the beaches on Anna Maria Island, BEWARE that they do not like out of town guests. If you read their county ordnances, it's stated clearly. We parked on a beach access and were not aware that it has the same rules as the main roads, parallel parking with right tires against the curb (even if there isn't one). We received a $75 ticket, and a $4.50 service fee for paying on-line. Now, we were driving a large Chevy Suburban, and thought it safest to face the road in the parallel parking, as to not back out into the road, and the vehicle too large to park perpendicular, or turn around when the lot is full. You get one appeal, and it doesn't matter your reason for anything, they want you to pay on-line. We parked on the same beach access road at 33rd street, for 3 days straight, and they ticketed us Friday, when they knew we were out of town (rental car), and wouldn't be able to spend time going to the courthouse to fight the ticket. Parking at the main beach access lot as you come into the beach is a madhouse, we preferred to park further down where it is less crowded. The beaches are AMAZING!!! But please be careful where/how you park, and leave the beach as you found it
