Beautiful House

This house was perfect for our adult family gathering in Florida. The host was always available and accommodating from the time we reserved to the day we left. We especially liked the beautiful pool and spent a lot of our time gathered around and in the pool. We also walked every day around the neighborhood. We had EVERYTHING we needed and then some. If there had been children with us, there were games and even a small table for them. A notebook was provided that explained all the amenities - a really nice touch. We can't say enough how pleased we were with the house.

Beautiful home

We really enjoyed the spacious home for our group of 10. The detached apartment was perfect for someone that wanted more space to themselves. The pool was warm and swim jet was fun for the kids. Wish that we had known that it would take an hour to get to Anna Maria Island in heavy traffic (our trip was during Spring Break), but only about 15 minutes when we left early in the morning.

A beautiful home to make wonderful memories with family

Upon arriving at The Beautiful House, it was clear to us that the owners take pride in the home. It was exactly what the pictures showed. Ali was an amazing host, the house was stocked with many things we didn’t even think we needed but was so glad that were provided for us to use. We had plenty of room for us all, to hang out with each other but also to escape and have space. It took us maybe 10-15 minutes to get to the beaches, we know that it can take longer with traffic but we lucked out most days and didn’t have that worry. We LOVED our stay and hope to return again. Thank you Ali for a wonderful home for us to use.

Beautiful, comfortable home

This is the rare VRBO house that looks even better in person than in the on-line photos. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of space. The kitchen was well appointed and the heated pool was a plus! We took long walks along the river. They have a shed full of beach chairs and beach toys, coolers, pool floats, and even a fire pit. The host was easy to work with and very accommodating.

Don’t let those photos deceive you

This home is outstanding! I can’t think of one thing that was missed. As a host she went above and beyond what you will experience with any VRBO host. She was available at all times. The home was truly a gem. We extended twice because we loved it so much. Before leaving we booked Labor Day Weekend to bring my 80 year old Dad to see in person what I sent via pictures. Your trips to the store for anything other than food was available, so we paid it forward for the next guest.

The Beautiful House lives up to its name. The property is gorgeous and well appointed. I had read previous reviews indicating that the host had thought of everything, and believe me, that is an understatement. She has thought of everything and then some. The location is perfect, a fantastic home base from which to explore the gulf coast. We will long cherish the memories made here.

About the host

Host profile image
About Alison
We fell in love with this beautiful house and its location when we laid eyes on it in 2007. The location is excellent because it’s central to everything yet quiet and peaceful with wide vistas on the street and vintage street lamps that add to its appeal. I used to take walks in this neighborhood, so when I saw this beautiful house for sale I was immediately convinced it would be a wonderful home and be a beautiful place to create great memories. We have formerly offered it on VRBO with great success during 2014 having a 5-star rating. It was a wonderful experience and we love that people gathered and loved and created joyous memories together here. I call it the beautiful house because I like to make things beautiful and that extends far beyond the aesthetic to the experience of feeling welcome, accommodated and attended to. The proximity and location of the surroundings has something to offer everyone that visits.

Why they chose this property

Why Alison chose River District location
This home has it all, an oversized lot, plenty of parking, private and fenced backyard, centrally located, close to I-75, close to IMG, beaches, shopping and close to downtown. Easy to hit the interstate and be at Prime Ellenton outlets in 10 minutes, Tampa in 45 minutes, or Orlando in 90 minutes, and the new mall at University Town Center is 10 min while IMG Academy is about 15 minutes away. This home has plenty of space for the whole family, grandchildren, 4 couples can fit comfortably and is located on a quiet street. The home itself is light bright and comfortably decorated on one of many oversized lots on the street. This home has a serene quiet park like backyard where wildlife abounds daily. The amenities are too many to list but the accommodations for a large family is one of the best you will find without being directly on the beach. This home meets all of our extended family’s needs and there is plenty of room for the family dog to be outside on the porch.

What makes this property unique

What makes this house unique
Backyard entertaining area that could easily fit 12 people for a fantastic Florida vacation. Really there is no need to go to the beach when everything you need is at this home. When you think of a Florida home and living the ultimate Florida lifestyle this home would fit the bill. You can open all 44 windows and screened doors and hear the boats on the river from every room. During winter months the whole home can be opened up to the breeze. The detached residence-inspired 500 sq. ft. cottage is located in the rear of the property and is a lovely spacious retreat with cathedral ceiling, perfect to lounge and relax. The home is located on a large lot 100’ x 188’ deep and fenced on all three sides of the backyard. Easy commute to IMG, Orlando, Tampa, Ft. Myers or Naples.
