Property was clean and accomodated our family. The biggest negative on the property is the fact the thermostat is locked out and set at 73 degrees. During our stay the temperatures dropped down into the 40's at night. The only thing worse than waking up to the 40's in Florida, is having a cold house and not having the ability to warm it up since the thermostat is locked out. A thermostat with a temperature range of a few degrees would greatly enhance the stay. Orherwise I would recommend this to anyone needing a place to stay.

Family vacation

We enjoyed our stay at your place. It was a family vacation so we had our children and two grandchildren. The location was good and close to AMI. Appreciated all the beach supplies, chairs, umbrellas, toys and especially the wagon! Thank you for all of that. Also having the high chair and pack n play available was so helpful. This place is truely set up for a family vacation.The neighborhood was nice and safe as we enjoyed walks to see the sunset and the manatees in the bay. My only complaint is that i felt the house could have been a little better stocked with supplies, kitchen and cleaning. But overall we had a wonderful time. Thank you

Perfect Spot

I used this property for a business trip so I didn't get to enjoy all of the luxuries as much as I'd want to, but it was perfectly located and had everything I needed. Super clean, bedrooms were great and spacious. The pool is a big bonus - very relaxing! I would recommend this property to those looking to stay with their families or with friends. It's conveniently located to the beach with a short 10 minute drive. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Getaway during Soccer Showcase

We are 3 moms traveling with our teen daughters to a soccer showcase in Lakeland Park. We were able to get to Manatee Beach (beautiful beach and the host provides beach chairs and other beach supplies! So great!) during our downtime and the house was perfect! Huge kitchen, well equipped for everything we needed. Pool was AWESOME! We had so much fun! The house was generously sized for 7 women. The host was responsive and very accomodating. I HIGHLY recommend this home - it was really perfect!

Fantastic Vacation Home

My family had an awesome time at this lovely and immaculate resort home. It’s location is perfect! We spent a couple days at Anna Maria Island (our favorite) which is only 10 minutes away. The kids loved The Nest climbing area at Robinson’s Preserve nearby. We loved viewing the sunset and walking the historical loop at De Soto Memorial 10 minutes away. Bradenton Riverwalk was fun to walk in the evening. We loved driving down the keys from Anna Maria Island to St Armand’s and walking around downtown Sarasota. Tide Tables Restaurant near the island was absolutely delicious. All of us got hooked on Sweet Berries custard yogurt. The Ringling Museum is so interesting and attendance is free on Mondays. The house is well-stocked for cooking, very clean, and has a spacious layout. Everyone loved the pool which was a great size for us! We loved that it was heated up right before we arrived (well worth the fee). There were plenty of beach balls and sand toys for the little ones. The neighborhood is lovely to walk in and the runners in my family loved running there. We always felt safe. We are very grateful to our hosts for allowing us to stay at their beautiful vacation home and we hope to return soon!!
