Family vacation
The location was awesome, so close to so many great beaches and restaurants, the pool was used everyday, loved the outdoor space. The inside was nice but the beds were not comfortable, I think the mattresses need replaced. The space was nice for us, the owner was very responsive with the few issues we ran into.

Good.
It was a good place to stay. Nothing crazy nice which is completely fine with me. Only had 3 beach towels, baby items weren’t cleaned and stored in a garage (so very dirty), we rented it thinking it would be very kid friendly and while it’s better than a lot of places. Didn’t have outlet covers (have a 1 year old so that’s important), some dry wall was missing/ cracked so we really had to be on our toddler all the time. Again probably more an us problem. We did extend our stay and it was fine. Never found the “water access” spot though. Neighborhood was great and easy to get to things. Owner is super nice and helpful.

I was extremely impressed with the communication of the owners. Especially, during the hurricane. The house has a 70’s vibe to it and we absolutely loved it. Definitely a place I would stay again.

Great house for price
Very nice place. The owners were very responsive. They went above and beyond to get the pool ready for my kids after the hurricane..The house on the inside was very clean..In the garage ,underneath the HVAC looked very dirty. There were toys and things to keep the kids busy. Overall, a great stay in a good location.

We had a wonderful time in Florida. So much to see and do. We went to a different beach every day! ( Cortez was our favorite). It was wonderful having a pool and the fenced yard was perfect for our dogs. The house was very clean and comfortable. We loved it! Jill in NC

Cute little house
We were in town for a soccer tournament. 2 families stayed comfortably. The house had all of our needs. Plenty of extra pillows, blankets and fans. The backyard was perfect with a pool, grill, and outside furniture. The check in and check out process was a breeze.

Quiet Family Get Away
This home was exactly what we were looking for. Enough space for my family of 4. We loved the back patio, think we spent the majority of our time sitting by the pool, kids swam all day, every day. Kitchen was adequately stocked. Information in home was well labeled and we appreciated the restaurant recommendations in the guest book.

Winter get away
Sarasota, Lido beach, St Armand’s Circle, Bradenton beach were all an easy drive from the house. Lots of great restaurants. Publix was only 1 mile. Loved the master bathroom with Bluetooth speaker and makeup vanity with seating. Dining table was oversized which is nice. Sectional and chairs gave lots of seating. Back porch was excellent!

We had the best time spending the weekend at this house. The house was clean and very well taken care of. We arrived to a welcome basket that was so sweet. The house is close to many restaurants and activities. We enjoyed the most relaxing few days! I will definitely recommend to others. Thank you!

Cute, Clean Property With Pool and Close to Everything
The property was adorable. The property owners were very helpful and accommodated our every need. It was a bit cold to use the pool but would be wonderful in the summer. Two separate bedrooms made it easy for our two couples to have privacy and their own restroom. Full kitchen, wonderful showers, and you could get to any of the area attractions by car easily. Also, very easy and affordable to travel by Uber. We will be back!

Sweet Spot
Location was great and the home was clean and renovated . We enjoyed the pool even though it was still early and a bit chilly. This is a larger home if space is what you need. I liked the fact that we weren’t in the busy part of town but still had restaurants and stores close by. The neighborhood was quiet but we were close to the airport and did hear planes a bit at night. If you like sea food BRIANS SEAFOOD MARKET AND RESTAURANT is a must for sea food. Next door to that is a German pastry and coffee cafe. Another must check out.we got coffee/ breakfast there. ( MAMA Gs ) . This is all a few miles away.

Relaxed in blue
The property was very clean. We were greeted with a welcome basket with snacks, a wide variety of games, water toys for children, a well equipped kitchen, first aid kits and well decorated house. However, since ghe windows are a bit outdated, the a/c has to work harder. Both bedrooms were very warm and lacked blackout curtains. Other than that, it was a rewarding and relaxed experience.

Great house and great yard! Amazing service
I have been to my share of short-term rentals and I have to say this place was great. Amazing service! We were in town for a funeral and the host was nothing but accommodating and helpful. We love the retro Florida house feel and enjoyed being on the back porch in the great weather. The house was super clean and the beds comfortable, plus TVs are in every room which is great for a family.You aren't too far from the islands and they even provide some beach accessories and towels if you didnt bring them! There is Anna Maria Oyster Bar a block and a half away which is a huge bonus. There is also a publix, target, and a Walmart all within a 10 min drive so if you forget anything it's an easy fixBeing dog friendly was a huge help as well and the synthetic grass yard was awesome for my nephew as he ran around the yard with no worries. There were even toys for the littles to play with! We originally are from the area and we will definitely love to return here when we visit family again.

Areas for improvement
Expected more. Peeling paint, repairs needed. Oven cleaned. Grill had wasps/bees, didn’t feel comfortable with laundry area, pool area etc. The inside has been refreshed but for the price I expected more. Very difficult to get to know tv’s and what was available. Instructions by each tv would have been extremely helpful. Thank you!

The complete package - location, amenities, space
My brother and I planned this trip with the goal of easily getting to a beach, relaxing a bit at the unit, and seeing some Spring Training baseball in Bradenton. Our expectations were exceeded with this property on all fronts! It was a quick drive south to Lido Key Beach and to LECOM Park to see baseball games. Shopping in the area was plentiful. The unit itself had all the amenities that we needed and then some, as we grilled steaks in the large covered patio grill, enjoyed the pool, and relaxed on the comfortable chairs on the pool deck. The kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils, pots and pans, as well as a full spice-rack used for having other meals in the house. There were plenty of bath and beach towels as well - a bonus when it comes to packing light. The hosts were quick to respond to questions throughout the booking process and during our stay. I would definitely put this property at the top of my list for future travel to the Sarasota-Bradenton area.

Comfortable home for my family
We spent a long weekend here and really enjoyed or time there. Check in with a key pad was a breeze. The home has everything you need. Plenty of fresh linens for the bathrooms/ bedrooms along with the small things to get you going. Garage had all the outdoor things you might need for a trip to the beach along with a washer and dryer. Kitchen was well equipped for the meals we prepared. The A/C did seem to struggle a bit but we tried to keep the doors closed and used the fans provided to keep a handle on it in the middle of the day. No problem at night. I must say though, the daytime temps in July were around the upper 90s. Besides, we live in north FL and ours works overtime during these days also. I did love the layout of the home inside and out. The back patio was nice with us in and out of the pool. I used the outdoor grill after I replaced a light fixture that had gone bad. I wouldn't mind having my own setup like this at my home. We did replace several light bulbs that were bad as well but that's just my handyman OCD. This is an older home with a few updates already completed and tons of potential if she is continued to be cared for. In all we really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others because of the value you get! Thanks for a wonderful stay and we look forward to coming back next year!
