Vacation home within walking distance to Bowman Beach

The house was clean. There was an estrogen patch left in a bedroom drawer. There were a lot of random items in the kitchen cabinets (old spices, flour, sugar, oils, etc.). Bath hand towels and wash cloths had bleach marks. One toilet needed repair as it kept running without a jiggling the handle. Most bikes needed repairs. There was no kayak as mentioned in the posting. The ceiling fan on the screened porch was missing a blade. The pool spa was not functioning. There were no lights in the pool for after hours swimming. A pool chair broke while simply sitting in it causing injury to a guest. The host was dismissive when reporting the broken chair.

Kids loved swimming in the pool. Pool was warm every day. Short walk to the beach.

The house was nice and quiet. My party of 7 enjoyed the pool and the bikes. I have used rentals on SI for over 20 years and this is the only place that had spices and other small kitchen expendables. That is a bonus. One quick question to the host was answered quickly.

Loved being able to walk to Bowmans beach every night to watch the sunset. Seashells gallore! Nice pool to be able to relax in and around for down time. Very nice home!

First of all the host, Deborah, has to be the best host we have ever had! She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and answered every question quickly. The house itself is a short walk (10 min with children) to the beach and it is a very pleasant walk at that. Three of the days we saw manatees by the bridge over the lagoon. There was 6 of us and the house and amenities were the perfect size. All the usual stuff (linens, kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms) was well stocked plus there was a lot of "extras" that most rentals don't have like charcoal grill, sand toys, pool toys, fishing equipment, beach chairs, bikes and umbrellas. Not having to buy or rent all this stuff was appreciated. We have been renting a different place every year for spring break for the past 9 years but I think we have found the place that will become our tradition. We most definitely we be back next year!
