overall not the best

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was worn and kitchen and cabinet space were sparce. Lack of utensils and peeling paint in cabinets. Couch is old and not comfortable.Our golf cart was in bad shape, no headlights. We received a replacement but not until 3 days into our stay. Air conditioning was inadequate, hot upstairs, freezing downstairs. Stairs should have a runner or carpeting, very slippery.

Great beach escape, we can't wait to return

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband, two kids and I went and loved the place. Having the golf cart made it very convenient. It's such a cute little beach community and wed love to come back. The pool was great and having access to the little beach and the beach walk is great. There's a nice little playground right near the place, my daughter loved that. We have no complaints. The place was cutely decorated and bright and felt very relaxing. We had everything needed and the people at the beach walk resort are helpful in case you do need something which is nice. We went swimming at the pool and beach, shopping, explored a few shops and farmers markets and ate out a few times and grilled the rest.

Manatees Retreat - July Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a great stay at Manatees Retreat! The house was the right size and had everything we needed. We had 3 kids upstairs (3, 5, and 7 years old), and for a few days, our grandparents stayed with us. Still enough room and beds for the wife and I.

Manatee's Retreat Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our experience was very good, but there were definitely signs of wear in the home. The AC was not able to keep up in cooling the home well, especially upstairs, even with "staggered" drops as requested. I'm glad the daily temps were rarely in the 80's during our stay. Painting touch ups would be good cosmetic details — and no cover on the chair cushion in the living room was not super comfortable. In general, we had a great stay at Beachwalk and were super thankful for the golf cart.
