We never met the host nor had personal contact with him. All questions or problems we had were handled by phone through a third party agency it seemed. That said, all our questions were answered and needs taken care of promptly and courteously. I certainly have no complaints. It was a clean, quiet, and comfortable unit. We would rent it again.
First the good stuff. The property seemed brand new and Very Clean the space was a good size. The water areas outside the unit are very nice. The bad, the distance from the beach access is too long. We were not informed on the location of the beach access and tried to find it ourseleves, after texing the management they did infor us. There had been some rain that caused flooding that causes mosguitos. I did not appreciate the 2 rolls of very cheap toilet paper only provided. The kitchen was not well stocked with kitchen wear. The internet was deadly slow 3.6 MB this is 2025.
The place was nice and clean and the location was great. My only complaint is that the neighbors made a lot of noise and were very audible through the bedroom walls.
The place was very clean, the bed comfortable and all was good. With stone floors, I would suggest that all future guests bring their slippers.
The only criticism I would make is that it is about .3 of a mile from the unit to the beach parking lot and then about the same from there to the beach, so the walk to the beach was further than we thought it would be from the listing. Because of that distance, you really do want to load up the car with he chairs and beach items rather than walk it.
Can't wait to go back next January! They were all very good--helpful and pleasant.

Everything was just beautiful.
Everything was just beautiful. The wildlife all around was very serene and relaxing. Perfect spot if your looking to get away from it all and relax. Loved being in island time. Reminds me of where both my husband and myself grew up. Feels like we stepped back to a better and happier place in time. The island has just about anything you would need. Jerry’s was a great market with a lot of items yo chose from. The bait shops also has everything you can think of if your into fishing. Rash guard shirts are very reasonably priced. Loved the shell museum and the information center is one of the best we’ve have been to and we’ve been to many. Too many good things to even cover in this comment section. See comment #2

We thoroughly enjoy the solitude of the property, the old Florida feel, and its access to the Tradewinds beach. Our idea of a perfectly relaxing getaway! We always had timely responses to our questions. Thank you.

We have noticed through the years that the blinds have been losing slats.
We have noticed through the years that the blinds have been losing slats. This tends to make the room look a little rundown. The blinds in the main living area couldn’t be opened because the pull cord was broken. We reported it and it was fixed the same day. We appreciated the prompt attention. We did feel that the cleaning team should have noticed this and had it repaired before the next renters arrived.
The cleaning team also needs to look for cobwebs in the corners of rooms and lanai.
I don’t know how often the floors are mopped or whether they are only swept. My husband’s socks were black on the bottom from the floors.
Overall the room was clean and comfortable. Our emails were answered promptly and our questions were answered.
I felt the person I talked to about booking next year had a rather impersonal attitude. It was just all about business.
