Amazing place to hang out with family and relax…enjoy the hot tub, swim in the pool, and especially great if you want to take a boat and keep it at the dock so you can fish and scout all the cool places on the water on Longboat Island, like Lido Key and Beer Can Island (now called Greer Island) right across Sarasota Bay… its also close to lots of great restaurants. The place is just amazing. Host was great and the place looks to be freshly remodeled and the check-in/check-out process was a breeze… My family absolutely loved it!

The pool and outside area were super nice and we loved it. The dock was also very well done. The landscaping for the house is very nice. The house was pretty good the only negatives I would say are the queen bed mattress and bunk bed mattresses were terrible. Also definitely needs new cookware and glasses in the kitchen. The house was clean and looked to be recently updated and we loved the dining room and screened porch.

Great pool home

We came for a quick trip for our daughter birthday, we really enjoyed the pool and the boat dock was nice on the camel so we could bring our boat! The dogs loved it, besides no grass on the property but there is a park and lots of nice grass right across the street! House was clean, nice it’s on the water and not far from stores! The host Taylar was amazing and got back with quick on my questions I had!

The house fit our needs for our vacation with friends July 20-26- there were some unexpected issues in the very beginning but Taylar was extremely quick to fix it. The house is in a good location for exploring Bradenton and Sarasota areas and we loved boating in the area. The sunsets are beautiful. The canal location was very convenient for boating and fishing. Be sure to see Jewfish Key and Bradenton pier and Bridge street. We loved the Wicked Cantina for tacos and margaritas. The house was very clean and accommodated 8 of us plus our dog. Would recommend if you are in the area!

Slice of Paradise!

The title does not lie. This home is like a slice of paradise and made us feel like we were at a villa in Key West instead of Bradenton. Taylar is an amazing host and was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Check in and out process was very easy and stress free. We definently plan to book with Taylar for our next Florida vacation and will be recommending her to all our family and friends.

Awesome house!

We had such a great time! The house is exactly as pictured in the listing. Taylar was very responsive either thru the app or thru text. We had no issues. The house is in a great location. We went to Anna Maria island and Lido Beach. Both about 20 min in opposite directions. The pool was amazing and my husband and boys loved fishing off the dock. We didn't have time to rent a boat but they were just as happy fishing on the dock. Neighbors were friendly as well. The park across the street was perfect for walking our dog since there is no grass and he would not go to the bathroom. If you love to be outside and don't want to go to the beach everyday, this is the place for you! We will definitely be back!

Pure Bliss

We recently stayed for two weeks at Taylor’s rental. Although we did explore the area including Tampa, Orlando and Marco Islands that were all within a 2 hour drive we would have been perfectly happy just hanging out at the house. The house, pool, hot tub and dock were absolutely perfect. The first week it was my parents, my spouse and I plus our children. The 2nd week it was just my spouse and I. It was absolutely PERFECT for both families and couples. We were present when Hurricane Helene hit the area Taylor was very responsive the entire trip and quick to address any concerns and quickly had a clean up crew for after storm needs. Our kids ages 8,10 and 12 loved everything about the house as well. We had the best time and will be back for sure. Thanks Taylor for being a great host for our vacation.

Excellent pool home, not far from AMI

First, I was pleasantly surprised the listing pics on Vrbo were a realistic representation of the home in person.I’ve had experiences where pics are nothing like the rental.The home is located on a dead end street which was a plus and not far from Sarasota airport. Its convenient location was also 25 minute drive to AMI. The exterior grounds were beautifully landscaped w/mature tropical trees, especially in the backyard pool area for more privacy from neighbors located on each side of the tall fence. At night with lighting it felt as if you were in your own tropical paradise. The pool was AMAZING!Temp and cleanliness were on point.The home’s interior was immaculately clean and nicely furnished which made you feel comfortable and right at home.This included all bed linens,blankets,towels (beach too!),cookware/ dishes (even spices!), items for your day visiting the beach (cooler, chairs, umbrella) and a air hockey/ping pong table for those rainy FL afternoons to keep one entertained.The hostess communication was excellent. Right before my check in she emailed the details and expectations. If I had a question or issue (door key pad didn’t work one very wet & stormy evening) she was readily available to help with my needs. My best friend, a commercial realtor of 30 yrs who resides in southern FL visited me here on my stay. She too was very impressed with the home’s cleanliness and accommodations.I hope to rent again next year but bring the whole family next time!
