Paradise found!
This is an outstanding property- the quality of the decor & design could not be better. We especially appreciated the bike-friendly layout of the neighborhood & our views from dock, pool & house. Every movement in the water or in the sky was a treat. Love that view. The location allowed us to explore lots of different towns on the West Coast. We are so pleased to find so many practical. & appreciated features that made our stay so comfy. To name a few: drink coasters, pool rafts, extensive lighting, pool privacy, super comfortable seating both inside & out, boxes of tissues everywhere(!), kind & patient hosts. We usually don't write such an extensive review, but feel that this particular property deserves high praise. Thank you.

Beautiful!
Our stay at this home was fantastic! The house is very spacious, open, clean and has excellent considerate touches! In the kitchen, there’s a Keurig with K-Cups stocked, dish soap, a fresh, packaged sponge, an air fryer, top notch appliances, and anything you could need in your own kitchen! In the bathrooms, there is shampoo, conditioner and body wash included. On the counters, they have cotton balls, cotton pads and Q-Tips. The master even has a light-up, magnified make-up mirror. The owners provide a helpful binder with check-in and out instructions, appliance manuals and suggestions for things to do in the area. The pool is beautiful. I suggest paying to have it heated if you’re not there in the heat of summer! My favorite part…we saw dolphins right off the dock within half an hour of arriving! We saw them multiple times during our stay! We also saw string rays right off the dock as well. It was a very quiet neighborhood and we enjoyed sitting on the dock in the sun, just waiting to see what we’d see. My only other recommendation is that if you want to contact the owners about anything, use the provided phone numbers. My emails went unanswered, but they are very communicative via phone. We loved this place and will definitely stay again!

Absolutely Perfect Stay!
We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation rental. The house was immaculate—truly spotless from top to bottom. Every little detail was thought of, and it felt like the hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It was comfortable, welcoming, and fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some). The location was perfect for our trip, and the whole experience exceeded expectations. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Dolphins
Convenient for us since we were visiting family in the same neighborhood. We enjoyed seeing dolphins swimming right under the dock behind the house. A great view of the sunsets. The pool was fantastic. The host was very responsive to any questions that we had and even secured a pack n play a few days before our arrival. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area!

Wished we stayed longer!
Incredible place. I wish we spent our entire trip here! The pool overlooking the inlet along with all the space for everyone was just so refreshing for a VRBO and fair prices. The furniture and beds were great, bathroom, kitchen appliances all top notch. It is a little far from Anna Maria island if you’re planning on spending most of your time there.but worth the stay. Fantastic hosts.

Beautiful home!
We stayed for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. Everything about this home is immaculate! The pool and dock area are very relaxing, and the home is tastefully updated throughout. Traffic was horrible in Bradenton, but it was spring break so that wasn’t too surprising…just give yourself extra time if making the trip to Anna Maria Island.

Family Vacation
Not only was this place beautiful, but right on the water and a private pool(heated or not) this place was top notch. We loved everything about this home, and staying in touch with the owner and the property company was super easy, emails exchanged and always answered. Greatly appreciate being able to easily extend our stay, and get all accommodations included with the home. Definitely a perfect vacation spot for any family or couple looking for a getaway. Plus the price of hotels is insane, having a home and being able to prepare meals was the perfect thing for our trip!
