Stayed 21 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Amber K. 23 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great property, but needs some changes for comfort We were pleased with the property and the supplies provided by the home overall. The kitchen was well stocked to accommodate cooking at home. We enjoyed the location and the access to the pool. However, we were not entirely pleased with the home because of the temperature requirements. It was very warm in the home for us due to the requirements for the thermostat. Even with keeping the blinds and any shades for the doors pulled closed, we often felt that it was too hot. The reasoning provided in the manual also was silly to us as we live in the coastal south with high humidity and would not feel that we have to keep our thermostat at 72 in the summer. If there is a true concern for the unit freezing, maybe they need to reevaluate the size or efficiency of the unit they have. We are on the fence if we would return for that reason because night time was uncomfortable. Other than this one concern, the home was great. ##### Amber K.

It's so great to be able to do some laundry and make some of your own meals. We had everything we needed in a home away from home for the week. It would be nice to have loungers by the pool to relax a bit more in and better fitting sheets on the beds as they often popped off but other than that, we ranked this a great family vacation stay for all of us! ##### Tricia J.

The pool felt wonderful after a long day on the water. Quick trip up to Tampa Bay and down to Siesta Key. Just be careful coming into and out of Palma Sola Bay. The channel is quite narrow in places and zig zags back and forth. Putting this place on our favorites list, definitely looking forward to staying at Blue Opal again. And by the way, the staff were super helpful and responsive with questions about the check-in process via a tablet computer. Super cool and easy to use, we just weren't expecting such a sophisticated system. ##### Mark P.

This property is in a great location with access to AMI and to Palma Sola Bay. We rented a boat and had the best time boating around the area. This home has EVERYTHING!! Pool floats, noodles, beach chairs/toys, air compressor just to name a few outside toys. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, basic supplies of sugar, salt, pepper, cooking spray. These things seem simple, however are necessities when staying/cooking in. There were plenty of towels, soap, toilet paper, trash bags and even laundry detergent....the list goes on and on. The owners and property managers have gone above and beyond to provide all the conveniences and comforts of home. We would love to return again soon. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erick A. 23 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Hub Spot The property was centrally located for many day trips or even just a chill day at home by the pool. The canal location and included slip was icing on the cake for renting a boat through Manatee Marine Rentals and discovering nearby sandbar, mangrove fishing and tiki bar refreshments. My wife and I along with great friends and their 5 year old daughter had all we needed. The host communicated well and the property was well taken care of. I noticed a rip in one of the lanai screen panels upon arrival and reported it, and they had someone there the following day to repair it which was a 10min repair if that on a Saturday. The property: updated appliances, fixtures, hard surfaces, pool, boat slip and easy to keep clean. Clear defined checkin and departure process as well as a slew of local to-dos and services provided by the concierge tablet that welcomes you upon arrival. Conclusion: Plain and simple, we’re all looking for a safe and quiet community… period. Add a location that is minutes to everything you cannot go wrong with this Blue Opal rental by Island Dreams. ##### Erick A.

Tolle Ausstattung, alles da was man braucht. Lediglich einen Sonnenschirm für den Pool haben wir vermisst, Wir waren sicher nicht das Letzte Mal da! ##### Tina H. Stayed 12 nights in Aug 2024 ---
