Nice place

The place was nice. Great fishing off the dock and location to stores and activities was great. The drive to the beach wasn’t bad at all. The owners do have animals upstairs that get a little rowdy…but other than that, it’s quiet.

Memorial weekend getaway

Great location for hiking, kayaking, fishing, and relaxing by the water. Publix is super close. Cannot comment on anything else nearby as our goal was to be mildly secluded. Emerson park was great. Our hosts were great! Property is super dog friendly. Loved all the oak trees around! Highly recommend.

Great apartment in great location!

This is a gem of an apartment in a unique location on Snead Island, FL. It is modern and well equiped. The living room looks right out on the river and the 100 foot dock and tiki bar. Best of all, you can bring your pets with you on vacation. Bev is the best hostess and will be sure to make your stay a good one. Come enjoy the feel of old Florida in this lovely apartment. You won't regret it!

A little piece of Heaven!

Len and Bev are the perfect host. They are always availed to answer any questions, etc. We spent a month and a half there and was there during Christmas. They put a beautiful Christmas tree on the beach and the tiki hut was decorated as well. The tiki bar is awesome! We had wonderful meals there and met a lot of good people who were staying in other units on the property. This place is very pet friendly. We had our two dogs with us. It’s a great place for pets. We had a 22ft boat with us that we were able to park at the dock. It was so nice having it right outside our door. Everything you need is in the apartment. It is very roomy. The pictures online don’t do it justice. I can’t say enough good things about the owners and the property. They make you feel like family. This place is a little piece of heaven!

nice pet friendly place

Most important for me is pet friendly without restrictions on size and number. I only have 2 ...25# and 60# lab but it's nice to know no limit. Must be honest that there was a 'wet doggy' smell but when we notified the owner she was very apologetic and got on to the problem as soon as we mentioned it. Seems maybe there was dog hair in the dryer exhaust that was damp from humidity. I like to be honest with reviews bc I appreciate fair reviews. The owner was readily available to help without being intrusive. I'm sure she would do anything for her guests.

Perfect alternative to a hotel!

We needed a comfortable and extended stay (10 days) for my husband to receive cancer treatment and wanted to have space to enjoy instead of a hotel room and hopefully a water view. We got that and more! The place is as advertised- better actually. Plenty of space inside for many more than we had (my husband and I and then I switched out with our 19 year old son). Furniture is comfortable, kitchen well equipped, very clean. Space outside may be shared with a few other guests on property: dock seating, beach area and in Tiki hut but plenty of room and everyone friendly. Hosts Bev and Len were so helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Would stay again if available for our next visit!

Snead Island

This is a great spot if you’re looking for a old Florida feel while having work done at Snead Island Boatworks. It is an apartment below the main house and so you will hear noises from upstairs but we didn’t find it to be disturbing. The owners are lovely and rescue dogs. So there is always something happening around the property with her rescues. Our dog enjoyed the company.

We had a wonderful time staying at the apartment. The owners were wonderful hosts and checked with us to be sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed spending time on the dock and at the tiki hut. The owners had a garden and shared some of their produce with us, as well as fresh picked coconuts from their trees.

Waterfront Apartment

This was our first winter in Florida and we made the right choice in accommodations. This large, ground floor apartment offered many amenities from access to a large backyard with views of the Manatee River, a large dock for fishing, a sandy private beach, and the private Tiki bar. Situated in a quiet neighborhood on Snead Island but close to many attractions, Tampa Airport, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota, and much more. For those that like to spend time walking or biking on nature trails, Emerson Point Reserve is just around the corner. Bev and Len were the ultimate hosts, making us very comfortable, spending cocktail hour with us on the dock watching the sunset. They were attentive to any needs we may require. Our fur baby loved the large yard, chasing squirrels, cooling off in the river and sleeping on the dock. What a wonderful two month stay we had at this comfortable apartment....highly recommended.

Awesome 3 month stay!

Ground floor apartment is nicely furnished and well maintained. I stayed with my Two Giant Schnauzers and Mini Schnauzer and had a fantastic time! Owners are on site and cater to any need that may arise. Great access to their private beach, private Tiki bar, huge yard. Very dog friendly! However, please don't mess it up for us that love this place by bringing a destructive, bad behaved dog(s) or human! The owners are GREAT hosts and made me feel right at home. I highly recommend this property.
