"Terrible. Ended up spending another $1,600 last minute to stay elsewhere. This is not an air bnb or anything similar. It’s is one child size bedroom in a rude old lady’s house. It is intentional false advertising. The “shared bathroom” clause is supposed to have you assume you will be sharing the place with the elderly woman that lives there and whatever guests she has in another room.

Top Bear Island Hotel Reviews

Waterfront Canal Cottage, Kayaks & Canoes, Minutes from Springs & Manatees!

8/10 Good

"The bedroom’s air conditioning unit emitted an overpowering mildew odor, making it unsafe to sleep in. The showerhead should be replacement due to inconsistent pressure and water flow. The kitchen sink faucet also sprays unevenly. Despite these issues, the property matches the description, though not as secluded as expected, it does provide privacy."

There was ample space; and things were very clean."
