Property worked well for our family (includes 2 teens). Easy access to a beautiful beach (less than a block). We used the beach chairs provided. We did not use the pool, but it’s a nice option, and looked clean. Air condition units in each room kept the house comfortable, after the initial cool down upon arrival. However, the units were very loud - hard to sleep the first couple of nights.
Otherwise, the house was clean and had the necessities.
We had a rental car and could easily get around the island. We took advantage of the activity options and did a boat tour, kayaked the mangroves, did jet skis, played miniature golf. We called and used the Monkey Bus to get to Bradenton Beach, as there is a lot of traffic and very little public parking in that area. We found the free Trolley to be somewhat unreliable. Plan ahead, if you are going to use the Trolley or Monkey Bus - waits can be 20-40 minutes… in the hot sun.
Before flying out of Sarasota, we went to the John & Mabel Ringling Museum, which was interesting, and the grounds & mansion were beautiful.
Suggestions: It would be nice to have a large beach umbrella available at the house. Need more frequent cleaning/replacement of air conditioners/filters. It would be nice to have information at the house, regarding open restaurants (a couple had permanently closed), hours of operation, and which take reservations (most do not - go early/plan ahead), locations of activities, bike rentals, grocery stores, etc.
