The house is in a lovely gated community with a pool, fitness room and tennis and basketball courts. It is 20-15 minutes from Nokomis Beach, which is a beautiful beach with free parking. The house is spacious and the furniture and beds are comfortable.
The selection of pots and pans, IKEA utensils, dishes, glasses and silverware is fine. The house could use a couple of baking dishes/pans. There is a set of 3 different sized cookie sheets but nothing else if you’re a baker. A couple of cookie cooling racks, a 13x9 pan and a 8” square pan and round cake pans would be nice. Most of the bath towels - with the exception of 4 - need to be replaced as they are very thin and poor quality. The sheets for the king bed do not fit the depth of the mattress so they pop off and need the be fixed every morning. There is a drip coffee maker but a Keurig would be nice.
There is a nice screened in Lanai with a table & 4 chairs as well as a lounger and gas grill. The grill was filthy when we arrived. We left it clean. The garage has a great assortment of beach towels, beach/pool toys, noodles, 2 kayaks, fishing gear, a beach cart, small coolers and beach chairs and a beach umbrella. A couple of the chairs are in very poor condition and should be replaced. The listing photo shows a TV in the master but it isn’t connected so that photo should be removed. I shouldn’t have to ask if all electronics work.
