Great Ruskin Area Home

Very nice townhome if you're in the Ruskin area, check in was super easy, and the house is very well appointed, great bunk beds for kids make it family oriented. The community it's in has some nice little restaurants so you don't have to venture too far if you don't want to. All in all a very nice place to stay for a few days with Tampa and Sarasota in easy reach.
