The family and I stayed at this home for a week and found that the location was very convenient and spacious enough to accommodate 2 adults and 3 kids. Everything was clean when we arrived and got settled in fairly quickly. The home comes equipped with everything that you'd need to cook and all the utensils needed to eat. I didn't get to use it, but a grill is available in the back. Also in the back, is a shower to rinse off when coming back from the beach; that was very convenient as opposed to tracking sand through the house to get to the shower. The one thing that was of concern was the amount of sand that was in the washer/dryer. Seems like previous tenants stuffed their towels in there to wash/dry without actually shaking off the towels. As far as location, you are literally minutes away from restaurants and shops. We walked to many of these places for lunch or dinner (e.g. Beach House Waterfront, Anna Maria Oyster Bar on the Pier, Kokonut Hut, to name a few). Google maps doesn't do justice, it appears that these places are a further away, but from where this house is at, it was less that 5 minutes to walk to. The beach is literally across the street, so that's a 2 minute walk. We drove to Coquina beach which was less that 5 minutes as well...lots of manatee's and dolphins that pass by if you spend time at the beach. Overall, I'm happy with our stay and look forward to future trips there!
