Peace and Quiet

If you are looking for a place to fish, go to the beach, ride bikes and just have peace and quiet this is the the place to stay! This place was just what my family needed! We hope to go back to visit the little bit of heaven cottage on the bay soon!

This property has a beautiful view. I’m not sure if it has been renovated recently but it was very bare. There were no rugs and sand on the floor was a big problem.

Get away!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I enjoyed staying at Bienvenue, it was wonderful sitting out on the dock and watching the dolphins. I love that you were able to hear the ocean and it was just a short walk to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and very peaceful. I never did figured out how to use the TV, not sure if there was cable or not , because it never came on. I'm glad I went to the dollar store , there were very limited paper products and no seasonings , salt and pepper. I think the beds could use an update, they were not very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your place .

Bienvenue

It’s basic as it comes , bed and towels were washed but windows was filthy and the view is what sells this place if you don’t mind bay side . House is just older and needs attention, would I stay here again yes but not for 1600+ dollars for a week . I’d go somewhere else first .

Stay at Bienvenue

Location is nice. House was clean. House has BASIC essentials. Has pots and pans, silverware, dishes, etc. Prepare to bring everything else. No salt and pepper, etc. we were given one trash bag and one roll of TP. There were pods for the DW, one dish towel, no dish soap. Not what we usually have experienced.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice place but small. Glad that the shower has been updated. Need better lighting in upstairs bathroom and mirrors are all too low for someone tall. Had problems with TV connection and called property management about it. They said they would call back but never did which was disappointing.

Wonderful Stay at Bienvenue

We enjoyed our stay at Bienvenue and found the property clean and well-maintained. The living room has a fantastic view of Apalachicola Bay and from the deck there is a wonderful view of the sunset. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed, beds were comfortable and the furniture in good repair and relaxing-ready. Very minor complaints were that all dishes/utensils are to be clean upon departure ( no problem) but while there was a sponge and dish towel provided along with only two tablets for dishwasher there was no dish soap and also no coffee filters for the coffee maker so we had to dash to the store before it closed for the holiday. Hard to understand why those low-cost items were not available. All-in-all we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic location & weather! House needs new living room furniture, beds/mattresses, & main bathroom renovation. No internet the entire week... manager rather indifferent. Sorry but at current price, would probably not recommend in its current condition. Hopes this helps.

Best. View. Ever!

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: This house is in an amazing location. Quiet neighborhood with the best view ever, looking over the bay, with the bridge off to your right, Apalach in the distance, and dolphins visiting every day. Perfect for fisher-people. The house furnishings are rather spartan, so bring everything you need, such as a hair dryer, extra paper goods, sharp knives and any fancy kitchen thing you require. But the basics are there, and the house is comfortable. VERY relaxing and very clean. TV in LR needs a new remote. Deck needs a new table desperately. Kitchen has been remodeled since the photos were taken and its lovely. We did not want to leave this charming cottage.

Disappointing Week

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were not notified about the Red Tide. Since our main reason for coming is fishing, we wouldn't have spent many extra hours preparing fishing gear and then packing all of it. The WiFi nor the TV worked. TV did turn off/on and changed channels one at a time only in one direction. There were no printed channel guides as in the past. We notified Suncoast office a total of four times concerning these issues. Our name was supposedly called into the media company. We never got a call. As a result we packed up and left a day early. The kitchen was well stocked; however, we will not return.

Wonderful 2 Weeks at Bienvenue!

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: Great 2 weeks, sun, sun, sun. Beach multiple times lots of biking (one 26 miler) golf and of course the seafood. Lots of shrimp and oysters. The house was a pleasure to come back to after our daily adventures. Sitting out on the deck watching the fish jump and the dolphins play while reading our books was just so relaxing. Hated to leave but we'll be back!!!
