First, the great:
1. Anna Maria Island is a fine destination.
2. The location and privacy of the house is wonderful, right on the beach.
3. The house is spacious. There were nine of us, and that was just the right number for the house.
4. Easy access in and out with a 4 digit code, new for each new renter.
5. Well maintained pool with dramatic underwater lighting.
6. Kitchens, particularly on the 2nd floor were functional, and reasonably well equipped.
7. Washers and dryers worked well. Dishwasher on 2nd floor is excellent. No dishwasher elsewhere.
8. Bathrooms functioned well with plenty of towels.
9. Prompt and excellent response twice to resolve lighting issues.
And the annoying:
1. There was general documentation, but inadequate documentation for this particular house.
2. There was no detail for operating the TVs and Roku. It would be nice to have Roku in the living room, not just the bedroom.
3. The linens are getting a bit old and worn.
4. The outdoor fireplace was nice, but in need of minor repairs.
5. The starter on the gas BBQ did not work.
6. Lighting at the BBQ and fireplace were inadequate.
7. Batteries on inside smoke detector was dying and beeping.
8. No extra plastic bags for garbage.
9. No non-perishable items in the kitchen, like salt and pepper.
10. Several light bulbs were missing or did not work.
All considered, this is a fine property and I recommend it. Frank with management was quite helpful and responsive when minor problems arose.
