Enjoyed having family together for Thanksgiving. House was even bigger than the pictures indicated and worked perfectly. Property manager promptly addressed my concern related to a full trash can and had another one delivered! We would love to come back again.

Time away when it was difficult.

The property was just as expected. Though we did have a little trouble finding one of the rooms as it is separate. We got in when it was dark and were getting everyone settled for the evening but were short a bed room. One of my daughters pointed out that there was a key for the pool room off of the pool so we check it out and it was the missing room. Anyway the check in and out process was so easy and we loved the location.

About the host

Host profile image
Hey there! I'm a 31-year-old married individual with two little girls who I'm proud to say are absolute angels. I was born and raised in Colorado, and let me tell you, it's the most amazing place on earth!

My true passion lies in real estate, and I get a huge kick out of helping people achieve financial freedom. I'm a qualified mechanical engineer, but recently retired from the oil and gas industry to pursue my interests and hobbies.

When I'm not working, I love to spend time with my buddies, playing board games, and working on my yard. I mean, who doesn't love a good yard makeover, am I right?

My expertise in mechanical engineering has given me a strong foundation in problem-solving and critical thinking, which I apply to everything I do. I'm driven, enthusiastic, and always eager to help others. Whether it's friends or clients, I believe in being there for people.

Overall, I'm a down-to-earth person who values family, friends, and community. I'm always up for a good time, and I'm excited about all the possibilities that life has to offer!

Why they chose this property

I absolutely fell in love with the Funky Flamingo property! It's got everything you need for a luxurious family vacation, including a fully stocked kitchen, a heated pool and hot tub, and even an outdoor TV and fire-table. And let's not forget the comfy bedrooms with king-sized beds and smart TVs, and all the beach gear you could ever need.

But what really sold me was the location - it's just a stone's throw away from the beautiful Anna Maria Island beaches. Plus, it's tucked away in a private spot between Bradenton and the island, so you can enjoy some peace and quiet while still being close to grocery stores, restaurants, and even a boat ramp.

Overall, it's the perfect spot for a fun and relaxing vacation with your loved ones. So pack your bags, bring your sunscreen, and get ready to soak up the Florida sun at the Funky Flamingo!

What makes this property unique

One of the standout features of the Funky Flamingo is the ability to watch your favorite sports or shows outside, while relaxing in the pool or sitting around the fire table. The screened-in outdoor TV is a game-changer, providing the perfect spot for entertaining and relaxing with your loved ones.

Imagine enjoying a refreshing dip in the heated pool while catching up on your favorite TV show, or lounging on the comfortable outdoor seating while watching a live sports game with friends. The fire-table also adds to the ambiance, creating the perfect setting for sharing stories and making memories.

Whether you're a sports enthusiast or a movie buff, the outdoor TV at the Funky Flamingo is sure to enhance your vacation experience. It's just one of the many unique benefits that make this property a fantastic choice for those looking for a luxurious and relaxing getaway.
