A deep clean of drawers and cabinets would be really helpful, but overall lots of great amenities and a wonderful place to relax and enjoy beautiful weather, abundant wildlife and gorgeous sunsets. ##### Bonnie S.

We had an amazing stay at this beachfront home! Being just a few steps from the beach was amazing for morning coffee, days on the beach, and beautiful sunsets from the front deck and windows. We would certainly stay here again! A couple things that could be improved would be to upgrade the Hughes Net internet to Starlink for visitors who need more reliable internet, however, cell phone service and hotspots seemed to work fine when the sattelite was not working great. Also, it would have been helpful to have some guides for the high end appliances that took us a few minutes to figure out. Overall, a pretty perfect stay! ##### Jason R.

Exploring the island is a great retreat for those that truly want to "unplug" This house is modern and has neat features such as steam shower and sauna. The 2nd bedroom could use repairs from water damage the shower has caused. Hopefully that will be taken care of in the near future. All in all we spent very little time inside and the stay was still A+ Its clean, its a straight shot from the dock and the covered porch ties everything together!

It's literally a slice of heaven. Serenity at its finest. You won't find a more beautiful ocean view or a more secluded island getaway. Not to mention, the house amenities are outstanding and Armando does a fantastic job of communicating. Anything less than a five star rating is just unrealistic expectations.

Contacted VRBO numerous times, was told they would review, call us back and they never did. Ended up disputing with the credit card company. Spent a significant amount of money rearranging our vacation on the spur of the moment. This may lead to further actions. ##### Joseph C.

I spent my days in the hammock under the deck reading my book-- my evenings snorkeling for "tresure" the home is updated and emaculate!! Showers here are amazing and the sauna is a nice finishing touch. I highly recommend booking here-- just be aware this is the place to escape and unwind- no shops no cars or "touristy stuff' - just you and nature. Book your golf carts 6mo in advance-- have Evan deliver your groceries ($$ well spent) and let Brett know your arrival time and dock # for seamless arrival and departure. This owner is extremely responsive- I kinda felt like we were bridging being annoying-- he responded each time w/helpful information and tid bits -- we really appreciated his patience w/us. Bring a battery powered black light to hunt scorpions-- snorkeling gear and a whole lot of stress to let the salty air dissolve and take away. The locals are super friendly and abundantly helpful. The home has kayaks, chairs, hammock and umbrellas covered.(as of 2023) Tysm for opening your home up to us! Its beautiful can't wait for next year!! ##### melanie m. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Briana F. 21 Feb 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Leaves a lot to be desired While the location is lovely, the home needs some attention. What makes me sad is that it appears some of these concerns have been raised by other guests in the past and still haven't been addressed, which means the owner is only interested in a quick buck and not customer satisfaction or retention. The owner was very responsive until I shared my concerns, now he has gone radio silent after two attempts to discuss with him. I shared about the mold in the ice maker, the broken amenities (coffee pot, master shower was unusable, the fridge leaked water on the floor, the garbage disposer didn't work until my husband got under the sink and fixed, the tv in the guest room and the microwave) and then shared about the missing items (kitchen towels, dishwashing detergent, instructions on how to use the convection stovetop and connect to Wifi, beach chairs and kayak). For the price, this home is just not up to par and hopefully this review keeps someone from renting so the owner will be forced to fix some of these issues. ##### Briana F. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Chris M. 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Very LITTLE of what was expected was true From the process of renting a golf cart (as recommended by the listing), to the cleanliness, to the amenities - so much was different than the listing. First of all you can't rent a cart since the sand is too deep within 50 yards of the house - and the cart provider admitted his carts were not usable. Essentially we ended up walking everywhere (including taking our week of groceries/supplies/bags from the boat to the house - needless to say 700 yards is a long way carrying that much). Basic items like a K-cup coffee maker or fridge/icemaker were not provided. Also to only provide 4 coffee cups, 4 plates - meant we were forced to use paper products. A mini fridge (for a weeks worth of food since there are no restaurants on the island) without ice maker was provided, but the area for the actual full sized fridge was empty - like someone made the decision to downgrade the fridge to the mini-variety. The beach chairs and kayak were missing from a storm that had come weeks before - would have been good to know that ahead of time. the shelves and pantry were not clean, and only one TV was barely in service due to the intermittent wifi. If even 20% of these problems were disclosed properly we would NOT have selected this place - when you consider paying $3K+, you expect basics like beach chairs and wifi/TV service let alone a normal sized fridge that has an icemaker built in. Oh yeah a repairman showed up unannounced! Very bad, very bad - $200 credit was offered - really? ##### Chris M. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tabitha M., Forest Park 5 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wish we could have stayed longer The location of this home is incredible. Ocean views and sounds cannot be beat. The vibe in the home isn't necessarily my style, but it's super clean and the high end appliances, sauna, and steam shower ended up being such a treat! The owner sent some instructions for use of these items, but it was all quite simple to use. We left the front door open a lot while we were in the main living space so that we could take advantage of the ocean sounds. A couple things to note. We did clean the outside of the windows on the porch when we got there so that we could have a better view of the ocean. I'm sure it's hard to keep those clean with the seasalt air. A few kitchen tools were missing (potato peeler & larger citrus squeezer), the knives were dull, and the pots/pans had seen better days, but nothing that ruined our time there. We cook a lot of fresh food, so this may not even have an impact on other guests. Also, the bed is super comfortable which we were excited about since we had just come form a stay on AMI where the beds were not, but the pillows were pretty uncomfortable. Hopefully those will get upgraded to make the sleeping experience even better. Some things to do while you are there...we rented paddle boards from Hooked on SUP and they were delivered right to the island. We took them out on the bay side (which is a short walk from the beach were this house is located) and it was so incredible! We also had a gal come do massages at the house and another gal who put together a charcuterie board for us the first night we were there. The expenses definitely add up, but it made for such a wonderful trip to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday. Wishing we would have planned a longer trip. Definitely would only want to stay on the beach on this island because you cannot pass up those views. We loved the large front porch too for reading and watching the sunset. Tons of seashells to collect and lots of beach for long walks. All in all, I would definitely come back! ##### Tabitha M.

Just what we were looking for. Sunsets were amazing! We did have a few problems. The windows were very dirty. We cleaned them so you could see the amazing few from inside. We had ants by the shower that WE had to spray for there was spray in the house. That problem needs to be taken care of. The shower in the master bedroom did over flow onto the floor and we had to clean that up. Which was not fun on our first night there. Someone did come and fix it the next day. This looks like it is not the first time for this to happen. The floor in front of the showers is getting soft and the flooring is coming off because it is not tile. We did not have any A/C for most of the stay. The owner did compensate us for that. There are two microwaves in the house and neither of them work. They need to get some measuring spoons and cups. More plates and bowls would be good also. You have to cook 3 meals a day in the house so that way you would have plenty if some are dirty. Cookie sheets would be handy as well. It would be nice to have 4 chairs or loungers to sit by the beach. They have 2 and one is broken. There are so many shells to pick from. Having the groceries delivered was really nice. LGI is a great place to visit. We met some local people that were really nice. Brett gave us a nice island tour. ##### AWogY1kAAACqAQICAHhRqf5uyCh4rhrpAEcd0Lr3O2ECPWffSl2fK29sG1pXlAGZF8IYoigQ5BIRa1b1j8NYAAAAcDBuBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagYTBfAgEAMFoGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQMUdVDZ6S1b53m/CMoAgEQgC1fNVt6rUB2nc2ix8NBY4YwxgfSyC/dhuXyTxisw4a/vmtpNbrGWzaAR6ZQ5oCZaEu0uhF8Nn+xATzobOnzTAiBc4lX3c3gYFqRWhLSEAo A.

But... Needs loving tender care from owner! Missing the creature comforts. Kitchen cabinets need organization and cleaning. Appliances while high end, did not work i.e. microwave. Water in master shower overflowed due to clogged drain one of the last couple of days we were there. Floors in front of each shower floor is warpped. ##### Mary W.

The views from the front porch and the living room were amazing. On the coldest day in Florida in eleven years we were able to enjoy the waves crashing watching them from the large floor to ceiling windows. May want to stay for a longer period in the future and owner was very accommodating with that possibility as we will need higher speed internet to work. Highly recommend this property. ##### ana g.

We enjoyed the perfect sand front location of this home and all the amenities were excellent especially for a rental property. I had confusion on the first night with the stove and the owner was so responsive and quick. We had it all figured out in a few minutes. We will definitely stay here again!!! ##### Kelly B.
