First off, June, the property owner, is AMAZING!!! She never went more than an hour without answering my messages back. We traveled with two families which included two 16yo girls and one 15yo boy. The 2 separate living areas were amazing!! The kids stayed had one area for them to watch TV/Play games and the adults had their own area. The pool was awesome!! We only ventured in there twice due to colder outside temps, but the 87 degree water was perfect. There were 8 bikes on site which came in handy. We rented a golf cart to get around the island. Publix was a quick 5 minute golf cart ride as well as many, many restaurants and shopping. There was a beach access just a couple of minutes from the house, however, we drove down to Manatee Beach access the 2 sunshiny 73 degree days we had. Manatee Beach had bathrooms, restaurant, gift shop and a bar. We just can't say enough about this house and it's easy proximity to everything. We did take the free trolley down to Bradenton and Bridge street for the day. We walked across the bridge to Cortez and had lunch at the Tide Table. Again, this house has it all!!! I read some reviews about the size of the rooms being a little small. One bedroom on each side was a little tight, but all we did was sleep in there!!! The rest of the areas in the house are just fine!! Do not hesitate to rent this place!! You will not regret your decision. Oh!!! Almost forgot about the 3 ring binder that the owner has put together that has all the information you will need to know about restaurants, food delivery to the house, ground transportation, everything.
