Great house for family
We enjoyed our stay and the heated pool. Few minutes to the beach and lots of restaurants. The house was very clean and well stocked including pool and beach toys for the kiddos and beach towels. Management brought us a high chair and pack n play and walker. 5 stars!

Great property, but needs some changes for comfort
We were pleased with the property and the supplies provided by the home overall. The kitchen was well stocked to accommodate cooking at home. We enjoyed the location and the access to the pool. However, we were not entirely pleased with the home because of the temperature requirements. It was very warm in the home for us due to the requirements for the thermostat. Even with keeping the blinds and any shades for the doors pulled closed, we often felt that it was too hot. The reasoning provided in the manual also was silly to us as we live in the coastal south with high humidity and would not feel that we have to keep our thermostat at 72 in the summer. If there is a true concern for the unit freezing, maybe they need to reevaluate the size or efficiency of the unit they have. We are on the fence if we would return for that reason because night time was uncomfortable. Other than this one concern, the home was great.

Relaxed and Tranquil
The house is wonderful. It is so well equipped with everything you would need including fast WIFI and smart TV with cable. Pool and lanai area is blissful, it’s so quiet and peaceful with a relaxing setting. Hosts did everything we could have possibly asked for before and during our stay, especially making sure the equipment we needed for our 1year old was in top condition. We will definitely be returning next year, thank you!!

Everything about this home was perfect. It's the greatest location, five minutes to the most beautiful beaches (without traffic) five minutes to all the shopping you need, yet very private. The home is fully equipped. The owners are the sweetest, we had the pleasure of meeting them. Alex was also very accommodating anytime I’ve ever needed him. if you get a chance, don’t forget to visit St Armands Circle. Thank you for a beautiful vacation. Bill and Dawn

Wonderful Stay with so much attention to detail!
This property is in a great location with access to AMI and to Palma Sola Bay. We rented a boat and had the best time boating around the area. This home has EVERYTHING!! Pool floats, noodles, beach chairs/toys, air compressor just to name a few outside toys. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, basic supplies of sugar, salt, pepper, cooking spray. These things seem simple, however are necessities when staying/cooking in. There were plenty of towels, soap, toilet paper, trash bags and even laundry detergent....the list goes on and on. The owners and property managers have gone above and beyond to provide all the conveniences and comforts of home. We would love to return again soon.

Beach Vacation
We had a great time on our vacation. Everything was beautiful in the home and had everything we needed and then some. We did have an issue with the AC motor breaking, but we contacted the property manager, Alex, and he was coming over to check it and had someone there within the hour to get it fixed. The dock just steps away from the porch was awesome and easy to get our 22ft boat in and out. We enjoyed staying here! We would definitely stay here again!

Boaters Paradise
Beautiful, well furnished and high-tech home with the perfect dock for our 24' center console. The pool felt wonderful after a long day on the water. Quick trip up to Tampa Bay and down to Siesta Key. Just be careful coming into and out of Palma Sola Bay. The channel is quite narrow in places and zig zags back and forth. Putting this place on our favorites list, definitely looking forward to staying at Blue Opal again. And by the way, the staff were super helpful and responsive with questions about the check-in process via a tablet computer. Super cool and easy to use, we just weren't expecting such a sophisticated system.

Great Stay!
We enjoyed our stay! It was a perfect location to be off the beaten path in a quiet neighborhood but yet, only minutes from the beach and activities! Our kids enjoyed hours in the pool before and after our daily travels! It's so great to be able to do some laundry and make some of your own meals. We had everything we needed in a home away from home for the week. It would be nice to have loungers by the pool to relax a bit more in and better fitting sheets on the beds as they often popped off but other than that, we ranked this a great family vacation stay for all of us!

Great Hub Spot
The property was centrally located for many day trips or even just a chill day at home by the pool. The canal location and included slip was icing on the cake for renting a boat through Manatee Marine Rentals and discovering nearby sandbar, mangrove fishing and tiki bar refreshments. My wife and I along with great friends and their 5 year old daughter had all we needed. The host communicated well and the property was well taken care of. I noticed a rip in one of the lanai screen panels upon arrival and reported it, and they had someone there the following day to repair it which was a 10min repair if that on a Saturday. The property: updated appliances, fixtures, hard surfaces, pool, boat slip and easy to keep clean. Clear defined checkin and departure process as well as a slew of local to-dos and services provided by the concierge tablet that welcomes you upon arrival. Conclusion: Plain and simple, we’re all looking for a safe and quiet community… period. Add a location that is minutes to everything you cannot go wrong with this Blue Opal rental by Island Dreams.
