Mini Family Vacation
This place was nothing short of amazing! Our family had the best time there and felt right at home. There was so much space, all appliances were new. Loved that there was a double washer and dryer. My in laws came with us and it was nice to both be able to do quick loads at the same time and not hold one another up. Our kids (10, 8, and 4) thoroughly enjoyed the pool to the point they never wanted to get out. The pool was nice, clean, and spacious and I loved that there was so much seating and a table to have a nice meal in the screened in area.The beds were comfortable and clean. The shower pressure was perfect, though this is a personal preference lol. Chrissy and John were very communicative and got back to us quickly if we needed anything - which wasn’t much at all because everything we needed was at the ready. There isn’t anything bad I can say about being here. We will absolutely book again the next time we return to Bradenton!

Absolutely Fantastic!!!
I can’t begin to say how pleased we were with this property! We travel a lot and we’ve seen many homes that look great in the online photos and horrible when you get there. This home was super clean and organized. It was 100% as advertised. It was new and updated with all the amenities anyone could ask for. The pool area outback was fantastic. We had our family along with extended family that live in Sarasota come over for a day and everyone loved it. We all had such a great time. For the first time, we didn’t have to contact management because there were absolutely no issues. Do not hesitate to book this property. Your family will love it. Well worth the price, which I thought was a little high at first but in the end I didn’t mind paying. The owners and management got it right with this one!

Quality comfortable stay & impressed with amenities
We were in Florida visiting some family in Gainesville for the initial leg of the trip, but we wanted to explore more of the Gulf side of the state so decided to book here for a few days. Our hosts we're accommodating and genuine in making sure our stay was welcomed and enjoyed. The home & pool are killer! Kids loved it! I appreciate the owners and wish them all the best with their business.
