The house is only a 15 minute drive to the beach, when traffic is good. We especially appreciated the thoughtfulness of providing beach towels, sand toys, and beach chairs. The size of the house worked well for our family of four and we would happily stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! The hosts were accessible and always answered our questions quickly. We loved sitting on the screened in porch. The cottage was very private and we did not hear any street noise at all.

The property manager was kind, respectful, and responsive.

The check-in was flawless. The host was utterly attentive and supportive.The cottage appeared clean initially, but we then discovered roaches and mice. It was unsettling to say the least.
Here are roaches in the bathtub.

Perfect Cottage and Location

We had a soccer tournament in Lakewood Ranch. This was a perfect location between the fields and the beach. The house was nicely decorated and suited our needs perfectly. There were even beach chairs and beach towels for our use! It was a little cool for the screened in porch but that was a very nice area. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had all the items. The host was easy to communicate with and very responsive in answering questions. I would definitely stay here again.

Cottage was nice,location questionable

Even though the neighborhood was a historic neighborhood the surrounding houses including the cottage yards were unkept. The cottage was clean and had plenty of rooms but there were window AC units in the kitchen, living room, and one bedroom. The other two bedrooms only had ceiling fans. It was a hot weekend and me and my friend had to share the room that had the AC unit in it. The other two rooms were never used. Ana Marie island was about a 20 min drive.

The cottage was super cute and clean! The host, Laura, is super great at communicating and responds quickly. We were able to check in early which was super helpful & accommodating for our plans. Everywhere we needed to go was just a few minutes drive from the cottage!

Wonderful property!

We had the best experience at this property! Communication from the owner was amazing from start to finish. Owner checked in with us prior to arrival, made sure lights were on for us and turned the heat on so it wasn’t cold when we got in. Very thoughtful and they checked in a few times throughout our stay to ensure we were comfortable and didn’t need anything. The house is in a perfect location if you’re traveling for the IMG academy. Clean, everything you could need. Thank you so much! We hope to be back !
