Quiet place close to beach!
The unit was very well kept. We all fit in just right and my son had fun in the bunk beds. It was a quick and easy walk to the beach, nestled in a quiet corner. The extra amenities on site were wonderful (outdoor shower/hang out area).

Great location
Overall this was a great location and a decent stay. The living room furniture is NOT what you see in pictures. I suggest updating those pictures. We were disappointed when we walked into see the furniture. Couch was stained. (Probably from renters being all sunscreen covered and not Showering before sitting on furniture). Property was clean! A/C worked great in all the house but the back bedroom . That was strange. The back bunk bedroom door definitely needs to be left open. The A/C there isn’t great and it gets hot but they do have an oscillating fan in there. I overall, a great rental and location at a good value.

Great location
The property was very close to the public beach entrance 13. Very convenient. Cute gathering area outside in couryard. For the price, the unit was not clean to our standards...dead roaches, stained couch, old furniture. And the layout of the unit was not the same in the photos. They should be updated. The kitchen was not well equipped if you cook. Dan was great to deal with and very apologetic about the roach situation but we will not be coming back to this property.

This was the absolute BEST vacation!
This property is amazing. We stayed at Old Man and the Sea right at the end of Point of the Rocks Road. It really is as described! You walk down a sand path right to the beach. We actually used to visit in Sarasota but didn't spend much time at the beach because you had to drive there and park and find a spot and then drive home afterwards. This vacation was spectacular because we just walked to the beach whenever we wanted! We will definitely be back. Dan, the owner was great too! Always there to answer questions about where to get the best seafood! I would highly recommend this as a perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun and beach!

Scamming me out of money
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than 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 rental tried to say I requested an additional day and tried my credit card. I was out of the unit at 2:30 am the day O was supposed to be to catch a flight. I opened the cabinet to get a drink cup and the cup was crusted with some type of shake. Had to wash all the dishes before we would dare to use them. Coffee machine didn't work correctly- filled up inside and seeped coffee grounds into the pot.

Provides beach towels and chairs, which was awesome. Says that it fits 8 people, but that is really pushing it. We had 8 adult females and were pretty cramped, but made it work. Only one bathroom. Overall, would highly recommend!

Great little getaway!
This place is the place to go and relax. Knowing we didn't have to travel with beach chairs, umbrellas, towels etc. was the best. They provide everything! My only recommendation would to be have better cooking pans. And maybe containers to store food while you are there. Other than that the property is excellent. I loved the hammocks.

Perfect location for a relaxing beach-side stay
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: The location of this property was absolutely perfect for my vacation goal - to spend as little time as possible in a car and traffic and as much time as possible on a quiet, pristine beach. The description is accurate... you are on the beach in less than 3 minute walk, and most of that walk is down a shaded sand path that starts just steps away from the door. The host provides plenty of beach chairs that are in great condition. The beach is southernmost end of crescent beach, which at least when I was there in December was very quiet and ideal for relaxation. It was my first trip to this area and I have to say that this string of beaches (I walked the full length to the north) are the most beautiful I have ever seen in the US!My goal was quiet relaxation so I spent most of my between the beach and the apartment. The parking was super convenient too so the few trips I did make were quite easy to get in and out, and there are a few bars and restaurants a short walk away. The building grounds are very beautiful, great for eating a meal outside surrounded by palms and chirping birds. I cooked and ate most of my meals there, taking full advantage of the large and well-stocked kitchen. The living space is also very large and inviting. The only small criticism I have is that the bed mattress/springs seemed worn and time to replace - very soft - and a few other interior items are a little worn. But everything was very clean and well above average for beach-side properties in this price range. Overall a perfect stay and I would definitely stay again (hopefully soon!)
