Great Location

We were very comfortable here. Plenty of room. The pool looked great but it was a little too chilly for a swim. Awesome pool area with a bar. We liked this location because it was easy to get to AMI , Bradenton Beach and Apollo beach to see the Manatees. We also went to Mote aquarium.

GREAT LOCATION- go check it out!

Cannot say enough good things. Listing was on point, no secrets. House was spotless, pet friendly but would never know pets were inside the home. Furniture clean and comfortable, kitchen well stocked. Tons of towels, blankets, sheets available. Pool was fun to have, tiki bar, grills, fire pit, pool table all great. Met owner Jeff, so glad we did, he was fun to chat back and forth with. He was beyond accommodating and even sent us some extra fishing supplies to use as a bonus to what was already offered. DAILY dolphin visits at the dock! Sometimes twice a day! This was by far the best part of the trip for me. Quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors, nice area to walk the dog. Shops and restaurants within a mile of home. If you’re a nature lover Apollo Beach preserve is close by with nice walking trails. Highly recommend, we stayed 4 weeks and it was not long enough, cannot wait to go back! So many positives I know I’m missing to share. Don’t miss out, go see for yourself!

Great House on the water

This house suited our needs is very well. The owner was extremely responsive and available for any concerns. We traveled with 4 older teens and between the pool table,fishing,pool, and paddle boarding the down time was easily managed. We chose this place, mostly for the convenience of our boat and we had no problem fitting our 28 foot Sea Ray at the pier it was just a short travel out to the bay. Fitting the trailer in the driveway was a little harder, but most communities don’t even allow it so that is a plus. There is a Marina available five minutes down the road and we found you. You can also store your trailer there for five dollars a day which we would definitely do next time. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, and the chairs and couch in the living room were extremely comfortable for unwinding in the the evenings. We gave it five stars and would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location

We loved how large the home was. The pool area was spectacular. Being on the canal was an added bonus to be able to enjoy fishing.

AMAZING

This house was amazing! We loved every single minute of our stay! It had everything you need and more! The beds were comfortable especially the master. The kids loved fishing form the dock, it’s literally all they did. It was cozy and we felt right at home. The pool was heated and the tiki bar was another perk! Probably one of our top places we have stayed. We will definitely be back!

Gem in Apollo Beach

We had an amazing stay at this spotless property on the canal in Apollo Beach! Only downside was the weather, so we weren't able to use all the amenities!

Oasis in Apollo Beach

We truly enjoyed staying at this beautiful home in Apollo Beach. It was perfect for spending time with family in the area. This was the best equipped kitchen we have ever seen, had all the items we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. Great chairs for watching TV, and ROKU made it so easy to reach our streaming services. Comfortable dining room chairs (which is rare). The owners surprised us with a flower arrangement sent for our Thanksgiving celebration! We did not get to take advantage of the saltwater pool, and other amenities, but hope to on our next stay.

Location was definitely a highlight of our stay. The home is beautiful sitting right on the canal. We paddle boarded and kayaked! You can be totally content never leaving the home. Plus the ocean is a short walk away! Best of both worlds. Highly recommend staying here in Apollo Beach.
