The condo is awesome! The view is amazing! The owner is spectacular!
We rented the condo at the last minute and did not meet the minimum required stay, no problem. Candice was one the those special people that come into your life and you hope never goes away. She even provided me with a cat (Willow) to love and take care of when she found out how badly I was missing my own babies!
The condo is everything and more. It is beautifully furnished and decorated, but not so much that you need to worry about breaking some thing or having a place to put your own stuff.
The kitchen was a dream. New appliances, sharp knives (very rare for a rental property), good pots and pans (never in a rental), nice dishes and plenty of them. A cooks dream while on vacation.
The bedroom had a nice bed that actually adjusted for TV watching or just drinking morning coffee and enjoying the view of the river through the double glass patio doors. Plenty of closet and drawer space for storage of your clothes and vacation goodies. Another plus was the blackout curtains across both patio doors, feel free to sleep late! No 6 am sunrise alarm clock.
The living area was just as nice. very comfortable with a coffee table for casual dining again with a view through patio doors and black out curtains.
The backyard was like a fairy tail. Beautifully decorated with views of the river 20 foot away. At night the yard came alive with solar lights and whimsical lit up flowers. There were several choices of seating with tables so you could always find shade a few feet away. We spent most mornings drinking coffee and watching the boats on the river. Their is ample dock-age and parking if you choose to bring a boat. I finally got up the courage to jump in the river for a swim, no problem getting back out from a platform or ladder on the pier.
There are so many great things to say about this property and the owner it is hard to write about. We rented 4 properties through VRBO over a 5 week period all lived up to our expectations but this far exceeded them! We really were not planning another trip to Florida and won't go back to the Keys, but we are already talking about returning here next year with our boat. It is a short 5 to 10 minutes to the gulf and fishing is excellent. I simply can't say enough great tings about Riverview and the surrounding area. I dug up some of her Bird of Paradise plants, they are on my deck, I smile each time I look at them and think of Candice. A true Gem!
