#### Really close
One of the most responsive property owners we've ever worked with. Jeremy responded quickly every time from the time of our booking through the end of our stay. The location of the property is excellent. Anything you need is nearby. Food, gas, hiking trails, parks, access to Anna Maria Island, all really excellent. One of the reasons we chose this property was the outdoor space pictured in the listing. Unfortunately, during the spring, this space was virtually unusable. The property has several beautiful oak trees and these trees were busy doing what trees do in the spring - dropping seeds! It created a mess. We swept the deck several times but it was useless as everything would be covered within an hour. (My car was also a mess due to the constant falling seeds and oak waste. I washed my car 7 times in 3 weeks and I could have washed it more! I understand the owner can do nothing about this and the space may be perfect 11 months of the year. The outdoor furniture was also quite dirty due to the constant debris falling from the trees. You will want to cover the outdoor furniture with a towel before using. The inside is really, really close to being good. But many little things kind of added up to make for disappointment. I don't think we would stay here again. The layout of the house was fine but things felt a bit tired. It seemed/looked like there were DYI projects that were just a bit off or unfinished. T

#### Great space for 4 single women!
The house (pics) was as shown…nice! Lots of great living space. Although we spent most of our time at the beaches we were able to spread out and have our own space when we got home. Jeremy provided 4 really nice beach chairs, beach towels and a beach umbrella which we used for 7 days! There was also a small cooler for our use. We didn’t cook much but kitchen was well equipped. Loved the counter space in addition to the large dining table which was great for our nightly card game. Yard needed a little love but it probably hadn’t received its spring cleaning yet. I’d definitely go back! Thanks Jeremy. Jan & Friends from MN

#### What beautiful landscape privacy was nice. Beautiful home.
I would suggest adding a and b so that you know the quest house does not come with the big house. We thought it said 3 bedrooms but only ended up being two. But couches worked fine for us. Would stay again.
