The condo was decorated by the owner Donna with pictures and artwork of Pelicans, palm trees and ocean themes. The bed was very comfortable. I am glad she added a table and chairs which we moved to the kitchen area. (Donna said it was fine to do so). The pool was not heated, but as the weather got warmer, it felt very refreshing. Hardly anyone used it while I was here (February-May). I had it to myself, most of the time. Since I enjoy doing water aerobics and laps, this was great!
The location was great! It is near Manatee Park, the Banana River, NASA, the ocean, and many local stores restaurants, and gas stations. The ice cream shop is within walking distance and very tempting! The only drawbacks were the number of cockroaches I saw in the kitchen. The condo was treated inside and outside for "critters," but I still saw many.
I guess this is part of Florida life. I am from Michigan so not used to them. Also, the ROKU tv station did not work well in the living room. I was unable to watch current news, programs or sports. The channels were streaming and many were unavailable or delayed.
The daily rate was reasonable when renting it for a month or longer. With the taxes, cleaning fees and other fees, it was more than I planned to pay, but still fairly reasonable.
After buying groceries, I did not like it having to carry themup to the third floor. But, Donna did provide a cart, which was handy. And she also provides towels, several additional small appliances (blender, toaster oven, crock pot) etc. which is great! She also provides beach towels and chairs for her guests to use.
Anytime I had a ? or issue, she was quick to respond and helpful.
Overall it was a very enjoyable stay. I would rent it again!
