Above & beyond most VRBOs. All the previous reviews & the pics of this VRBO are 100% accurate & spot on! We honestly can't say enough good things about this place & it's host, Lori. It is stocked to the max - all you need to buy is your food & drinks (if you plan on eating in). Plenty of towels, beach towels, some beach chairs, a cooler, shampoo, TP, etc. This VRBO feels like home - cozy, comfortable, clean & complete with all you need to enjoy a vacation with your own private pool. The outdoor living area was superb & our favorite place to hang out - from coffee outside in the morning, watching tv from the pool, sitting around the outdoor fire pit at night with some wine - it was the absolute best! Highly recommend Honeymoon Island beach (only $8 to enter) & only about 15 mins away. It does take longer during the weekends, so plan ahead and go during the week if your stay allows. There is also a ferry there to Caladesi island which also had a beautiful white sand, crystal clear water, beach. There is a Publix grocery store less than a mile from the house which was most convenient.
And yes, the icing on the cake was that we too were greeted with Lori's signature pasta dinner, cheese/crackers/grapes platter & a delicious bottle of wine ....Classy beyond words can describe. We definitely plan on returning & it is no surprise that so many other previous renters are doing the same. Lori rocks!😊😎
