AMI vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was a great vacation. Pros condo was clean, and location was great. Property management was prompt to fix furnace problem on Sunday when it occurred. Cons there was little to no current info in the condo, no info on where to put garbage, when it was to be picked up. There was no info on how to turn outside lights on and off. The washer was barely useable, during rinse and drain cycles it would go out of balance and bang very loudly, sounds like it's coming through the wall.

The position of the apartment paying for that experience.

There is not at all the right and the minimum equipment to cook. Very poor stuff there. I’m sorry.

Long in the tooth

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit was long in the tooth, janky, rinky dink. It felt like "death by a thousand cuts". Nothing major but too many smaller items that contributed to our overall frustration, time required, and a bad experience. It was obvious to us that the owner nor the property manager had spent any recent, useful time in the unit in order to identify and fix the items that needed attention. We provided the property manager with a list of 13 items that contributed to this bad experience. A few examples include malfunctioning, older appliances that should be replaced and intermittent cable and wifi service. The cable and wifi is shared with the neighboring condo. It is important to note that the location is excellent and the unit was clean. The property manager was responsive but still should be more active working with the owner to get these items updated.

Dolphin Dance

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Generally the property was in good condition. The walls of the condo were kind of dirty, scuffed. Could use some painting. I was satisfied w my stay but very unsatisfied in the access to the beach. During our stay our access was blocked due to construction. It would have been nice to have been alerted to this and maybe a recommendation of a more beach accessible property. This access is our primary reason for choosing Dolphin Dance as we have been here more than a few times before. Properly management was good in that they replaced a broken beach umbrella for us promptly.

Great location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit sits on stilts so even though it’s across the street from the beach, the view is awesome. It has a very nice layout with bedrooms upstairs. Much has been redone in this unit but appliances need to be upgraded. Would still highly recommend.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I am very disappointed in my rental. We checked in no hangers, immediately asked for some, two days later they were delivered. Unit was not clean, old dirty carpet, old dressers, etc. I usually rent from RCI, and am always pleased, never again will I rent from someone else.

Not the best but not the worst

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is good you have to fight traffic to get across to the beach but not horrible it’s only steps away. The unit itself is nice but upon arrival we immediately noticed that the unit needed deeper cleaning. The coffee pot had burnt coffee in it, the bathroom toilets had splatter and stains under the lid and seat. The staff responded immediately though.

home away from home

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We did not want to leave. We had everything we needed. Having keyless entry was wonderful because we didn't have to worry about loosing it. There were chairs to use and towel for the beach. The little outdoor shower to hose off was great. We were just right across the street from the beach so we spent every morning and evening with our feet in the sand. And the sand was so soft and being white it didn't burn our feet. We went during spring break and it was suprisingly not as crowded as we worried it would be. I didn't worry about leaving our thing on the beach while we played in the water. We loved the strip of little shops to walk to. We did travel down Florida along the Gulf to Venice as well to look for shark teeth and up to the tip of the island to find sand dollars. We even caught crabs and watched dolphins fishing near the edege of the beach! It was so much better than I imagined and that says a lot. Our children thanked us daily for planning such a wonderful trip. The condo was clean and the bedrooms worked fine for our family. We had an issue with the garbage disposal when we first got there so I sent an email. There was someone there within 30 mins and fixed it! It was hard to leave and it will be hard to stay anywhere else after.

Poor amenities

First day there the TV and internet out. We were out from Saturday till Tuesday. Track lights above dining table 3 lights only one worked. Maintenance came to check TV told about light over table he tried to fix them but after that had no light over table. That was for the qhole stay.Electric can opener did not work. Blender did not work. Pans were all bent did not sit on burners. Blinds in livingroom missing slats. NO window covering in bathroom. Lost an hour waiting for cable company to come. Thursday the AC stopped working. I will say the HVAC company was quick to responde.

Great location...thats about it.

Very disappointed with this property. If you value the location and only the location, this property is for you. The place is much smaller than anticipated and is much more worn out than what I like to stay at. First, it is missing many of the vertical window panels on multiple windows, and everyone can see in. The vents are filthy!! Not sure what the cleaning people do as there were toothpaste marks on the faucet in the bathroom. The furniture is not very comfortable, the carpeting is old and matted down, the walls have scrapes, knicks and generally not in good shape! The shower is small and has a rusty shower rod that gets rust all over your hands as the shower curtain doesn't move smoothly !! They supply no hair dryer...the first place I have ever stayed at that didn't have a dryer. There were also no coffee filters. For how inexpensive filters are you would think for spending a significant amount of money a week they could supply that, so off to the store we had to go again. The toaster also takes three times to get toast brown. We ended up leaving a day early as we were so disappointed. I will not be staying here again.

Disappointed

Didn’t realize whole flight of stairs to climb just to get into property. Blinds broken in every window. Furnishings worn and dirty appliances old and dated. Lightbulbs burnt out. Shower rod all rusted. Washer/dryer inaccessible. Pots and pans terrible. No ice maker. Property needs a makeover.

beautiful views and great location

vrbo ad was deceiving. We had no idea there were 20 steps to get to front door. We are in our 70s so those steps made it difficult to carry up groceries, clothes. The city never picked up the garbage the whole week. The renters already there in the duplex had 3 cars and stayed up all night doing laundry from 12-3am but left monday so no more awake nights as laundry is shared between units. OTHERWISE the unit was adorable, comfortable and the beach so close and such fun. Last night there we were awakened at 3am from the fire alarm and do not know what that was about..Suggestion would be to place tape or paint on last step as a women fell on that last step. You can walk to the village.

Perfect getaway

My fiancé and I booked this along with our 1 year old son. This was PERFECT! It was across a street from the beach (which it says) but it is a rather busy beach. The condo was perfect when we arrived and we loved EVERY MINUTE OF OUR STAY! We will be back
