Nettles Island, Jensen Beach Home w/ Patio & Grill

Relaxing Getaway

Had a much needed break away from the normal routine here! We loved having the dock and caught many fish right off it. Although there were no keepers, we caught fish each day. Saw a couple of manatees trekking through one day. Easy access to community amenities but we only visited the pool once (Pickleball courts were very popular!)Beach access is conveniently located right across from the community. The house was clean where it mattered- bathroom’s, kitchen and bedroom’s surfaces were spotless and all main walking areas were squeaky clean. Linens and towels fresh and comfortable. Kitchen has basic cookware available. The upstairs furniture is noticeably “well loved” but certainly functional. We would recommend this place to our friends and look to come back in the future!

PERFECT!

Had everything needed for a three week stay for 8 adults from Poland. They loved the cleanliness, fully equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The also liked the spacious layout and laundry area. They thought the Nettles Island resort facilities were great. First time in Florida and USA and said it was their best vacation ever!

Very nice house

In the house all you need. Lots of room.

Thermostat in a Locked Box

I was shocked that the thermostat is in a locked box and it was not mentioned in the property’s description. This, of course, is the owner’s prerogative, but I feel it should be mentioned in the description that the renters can only change the temperature by calling the landlord. When I requested a better option for controlling the temperature, since we had waited 3 hours before we received a response, and then had to ask 3 separate times to have it adjusted to the temperature we originally requested. When the owner said there was no other option, I shared that I was disappointed that it was not mentioned in the description. The landlord Paul, sent this reply. “ You're in the prettiest state in the United States and one of the most beautiful places in the United States at my best property Waterfront paying a bargain price. With an experienced landlord who's giving you his private number restaurant recommendations and offered to make the temperature whenever you want. You might want to enjoy enjoy your vacation. If not let your husband know and I'll treat him to dinner.” I felt it had not matched my experience, of requesting the same temperature 3 times for over 4 hours, and in my view I had paid a fair price, but not a bargain price. Needless to say both my husband and I did not appreciate the quip about telling my husband, so he could treat him to dinner. Not what I expected from a host. We’ve rented at Nettles Island many times before. We LOVE it. We have stayed at nicer places than this one and more modest places, and have always had the amenity of controlling the thermostat. The owners have all been great. We still love Nettles Island, but this was a very bizarre experience. This all would have been fine if the thermostat anomaly was mentioned in the description, so we could have decided if this was an arrangement we were comfortable with. We would have chosen not to rent this property had we known in advance. We appreciated the recommendations and other amenities, but would have prioritized controlling the thermostat on a trip to FL in July. We still had a great time, but our experience at this property was less than stellar.
