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.

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.

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.

Sunny in Florida

We were here visiting an Aunt, we wanted something roomy and with a pool. This place had it all. The house was well cared for, clean and well supplied. The beds were comfortable. The backyard was clean and the pool eas perfect. The only complaint would be the planes do fly over but honestly not a big deal and nothing anyone can do about thst. Plenty of restaurant choices. We enjoyed the Ramada tiki bar. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Our second time staying here, and it’s always a pleasure! The property is clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. The host consistently checks in during our stay to make sure everything is going well and is always quick to respond if anything comes up.

We really enjoyed our stay. The pool was so nice to have!! There were a couple of issues (that evidently the owner wasn't aware of as there is a management company that hadn't told him about). He stopped in to drop off something we had requested and asked to see the issues. We left a day early, he texted to say that he was spending the day at the house to fix a couple of things. Very nice man, pleasant to talk to! Our dog really enjoyed playing in the yard. Everything we needed was there (except coffee, fortunately we had taken our own!).

We had a very nice time relaxing by the pool and cooking out. Our dog had the run of the backyard which was great. Our host Robert was very attentive and helpful. The only thing was the sliding door it was a beast. We were very near beaches bars and grocery.
