Great Location
We were very comfortable here. Plenty of room. The pool looked great but it was a little too chilly for a swim. Awesome pool area with a bar. We liked this location because it was easy to get to AMI , Bradenton Beach and Apollo beach to see the Manatees. We also went to Mote aquarium.

GREAT LOCATION- go check it out!
Cannot say enough good things. Listing was on point, no secrets. House was spotless, pet friendly but would never know pets were inside the home. Furniture clean and comfortable, kitchen well stocked. Tons of towels, blankets, sheets available.
Pool was fun to have, tiki bar, grills, fire pit, pool table all great.
Met owner Jeff, so glad we did, he was fun to chat back and forth with. He was beyond accommodating and even sent us some extra fishing supplies to use as a bonus to what was already offered. DAILY dolphin visits at the dock! Sometimes twice a day! This was by far the best part of the trip for me. Quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors, nice area to walk the dog.
Shops and restaurants within a mile of home.
If you’re a nature lover Apollo Beach preserve is close by with nice walking trails.
Highly recommend, we stayed 4 weeks and it was not long enough, cannot wait to go back!
So many positives I know I’m missing to share.
Don’t miss out, go see for yourself!

We spent a month here in Apollo Beach with friends. Great quiet neighborhood and convenient to stores and restaurants. House is very nice and roomy. We had a few small issues, and they were addressed very quickly. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!

Gem in Apollo Beach
We had an amazing stay at this spotless property on the canal in Apollo Beach! Only downside was the weather, so we weren't able to use all the amenities!

Oasis in Apollo Beach
We truly enjoyed staying at this beautiful home in Apollo Beach. It was perfect for spending time with family in the area. This was the best equipped kitchen we have ever seen, had all the items we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. Great chairs for watching TV, and ROKU made it so easy to reach our streaming services. Comfortable dining room chairs (which is rare). The owners surprised us with a flower arrangement sent for our Thanksgiving celebration! We did not get to take advantage of the saltwater pool, and other amenities, but hope to on our next stay.
