We enjoyed our stay here. We cooked in the kitchen, used the laundry room (which was clean) and parking was easy. Good grocery store and a couple good restaurants an block away. It is basic appearing on the outside but inside was updated, comfy beds. There is traffic noise, but we got used to that. Kim was very responsive and helpful. Thanks!

I'm very glad you enjoyed your stay. The street that we are on is a dead-end just past our building and also at the other end a block away with very little traffic. In front of that street is a sidewalk and in front of that is a grass area and in front of that is a road that is 35 mph which goes directly to Siesta Key. Most people love the convenience of the location and the many restaurants and grocery store a block away. We also have a thick tall hedge of Areca Palm trees next to the border of our property on all sides with an opening where the entrances are. All of the condo units patios and sliding glass doors from all of the living rooms and bedrooms overlook the sides of the property and the palm trees.

Barbara was a no-show. She contacted us much later and said she decided not to take her airline flight or travel. She did not come to Florida and has never been to this business.

The hotel is not lit so it makes it extremely hard to find at night.
I was charged a price of $150 for cleaning the apartment ????? But, it was not clean. We had to keep our shoes on all the time because the floors turned our feet black black. There was still food crumbs and dirt from the previous renter, located on counter top, in the sink, and on the floor. The bathroom, we had to run out. and get cleaner for the toilet .
The manager seemed proud of new improvements and they were nice. But, she needs the front lights on to show it off. And if she charges a cleaning fee, the apartment should be clean.

At Tropical Dreams it is a priority to make guests happy, want to return and recommend us. I am sorry if you were not able to find us easily. We do have pathway lights in at the front of the building, a spotlight on the name and address and both the upper and lower level between the units have lighting. The spotlight is dim, therefore we just purchased a much brighter light and it is scheduled to be installed and mounted over the name and address. We are not a hotel. We are a small vacation rental complex. We do not charge a flat or daily property fee or resort fee as many vacation rentals and hotels in the area, but like most vacation rentals in the area we do charge a cleaning fee and this is shown when you make a reservation and before and you agree to the reservation or enter any credit card info. The reservation site shows it multiple time in the same place for every property with any fees. Our cleaning fee is less than many similar properties and it is a one time fee for a stay not a daily fee. Please consider our villas are 1000 SQ. FT. with 2 large bedrooms, 3 beds and a full kitchen, living room, dining area and lanai. Our cleaning takes a considerable amount of time. Each unit is cleaned and then checked again by another person. I did a walk through the villa with you at check-in and it was very clean and you said you were happy with it. I think you are angry about the cleaning fee and that it was noticed you had more people in your rental party than you declared or were allowed. Your unit took a extensive amount of time to be cleaned as almost all the walls had to be scrubbed from the many marks and all filth you left behind. Floors are swept, cleaned and then steamed moped with boiling water. Maybe the dirt was brought in with the 40 trips to your vehicle to unload it after check-in or the many children constantly going in and out.

Great find and value! Perfect for us.
Posted 29 Jan 2018 on HotelsI was traveling with a friend and the two bedroom villa was a great find and value. I would recommend it to family, friends or just a couple who wants a place to relax with space and a full kitchen. It was all good..Comfortable beds, clean, easy parking, BBQ grill, and large outdoor lanai was very nice to sit on with the nice weather as we had our morning coffee.

A villa was prepared but given the traffic noise, an option was taken to stay in another villa. A bad choice as the kitchen was unclean and lacking in items. Eg. BBQ implements. The villa was in the process of being refurbished and we had a comfortable stay.

The only thing slightly dirty in the kitchen was 1 of the stove top burner drip pans under the burner. Your wife mentioned it. I apologized and then returned in a couple minutes with 2 new stove top burner drip pans instead of 1 as the other 2 looked brand new and I wanted all 4 to look new. I asked if everything else was ok. After looking in every cabinet, drawer and kitchen appliance she said yes. The villa you stayed in was not in the process of being refurbished. Within the last few months it had all the following NEW ITEMS: 2 king beds - mattresses & frames, sofa, futon, chair, dining table, end and coffee table, headboards, night stands, lamps, sheets, comforters, pillows, blankets, art on walls, dishes, silverware, serving and cooking utensils, pots, pans and glasses Fresh paint is in entire villa. New flooring was just put in the kitchen, bathroom, entry and hall. The villas are all the same size and floor plan, Almost all furnishings are new in all units. Everyone else in the group seemed happy with any unit and seemed to leave the decision up to the lady who inspected every detail. Before I left the unit I told everyone my business card with phone number was on front of the information binder and on the refrigerator and to let me know if they needed anything. I also mentioned I would be at the complex a couple hours longer that day. No one ever contacted me about any other issue. I am very disappointed to see such a low review score from you and wish I could done something to make your stay better, but I had no idea you were not 100% happy when I left you after the walk -through and changing of the stove top burner drip pan.

Loved it! We will definitely stay here again.
Posted 19 Oct 2017 on HotelsVery clean 2 bedroom villa. Wonderful king beds. Full kitchen. Nicely decorated. Great value and close to Siesta Key. Large lanai. Covered parking. It had everything we needed. We will absolutely recommend it to family and friends. Very pleasant quick check-in and answered all our questions on the area.
