Felt like home!
This worked out perfectly for our 3 chaperones and 8 soccer girls. It was so comfortable and convenient from the comfy beds to being able to have a wagon and chairs for the ballpark. So spacious and nice, it really was so luxurious. We loved it, we felt right at home!

SO comfortable!
This is a perfectly appointed house for a family or group. Everyone has space and everything you need is there including fun games for the teens. The style is delightful and the location is great. You can walk to a little bay beach and my dogs loved the yard. The hosts were accommodating to my requests. Highly recommend!

Soccer tournament
The property was laid out in such a way that everyone had their own space. The communication from the host was impeccable and I would highly recommend staying here for any tournaments at IMG Lakewood Ranch.

Great outdoor space
Our family gathered for a post Christmas vacation. We spent much of our time outdoors poolside. The outdoor furniture was the most comfortable. The table outdoors was big enough for all of us. In addition to the outdoors , the house is conveniently located to beaches. We enjoyed walking a few blocks to watch the sunset. Inside the rooms are spacious and elegantly furnished. The kitchen has all of the upscale and modern appliances including air fryer, rice cooker, ninja blender and large toaster. The host/hostess provided ample toilet paper, paper towels and dishwashing detergent. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Bradenton area.

Wonderful Stay by the Bay
This has been the most amazing rental experience. The house comfortably hosts 14 guests, with no details spared from kitchen supplies to laundry and game rooms. It had gone through a brand new renovation and was meticulously cleaned and beautifully furnished. Our party of 14 of different ages all found plenty to do both in and out of the house. The location is convenient for walking around the neighborhood, to the causeway, or driving to Target/Publix to grab something. It's a ten-minute drive to the island, where the beaches and sunsets were gorgeous. We also enjoyed parasailing and dolphin/sunset cruise there. What a wonderful experience and everyone cannot wait to return!
