Thanks for allowing us to use your villa. Everything was great from the weather to the beaches. We enjoyed Holmes Beach the most, this quiet beach was great for the family. The Beach House Restaurant had a great view of the sunset. McCurdy’s Comedy club in Sarasota was another highlight.

Everything was wonderful! The house is gorgeous, the pool is lovely overlooking the lake, and we had a good time exploring Bradenton. We had a wide age variety with us, but everyone always had something fun to do. Our favourite places to go include The Bridge Tender Inn, The Sun House, The Beach House, Banana Cabana and Oma’s Pizza. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your lovely house.

Have really enjoyed our stay in your lovely villa – very spacious and well equipped, and our 4 boys enjoyed your pool very much. Have stayed in Orlando for the past 9 years and this made a really nice change. Visited Anna Maria Island which was our favourite beach, quieter than others but well set up for children with a little play park and café facilities. Enjoyed a lovely meal at the Sandbar to the north of the island and watched the sunset – a paradise! Also visited Ellenton outlets and spent too much money! Went to Lido Beach and walked around St. Armand’s Circle – the shops and restaurants are really worth a visit. Went on a boat trip at Marina Jack, and the boys enjoyed seeing the dolphins swim by the boat. (Our boat trip lasted about 2 hours and left at 11.00am). Also went to Siesta Key where the beach was a lot busier, and enjoyed a walk around the village. Now off to Orlando again for 2 weeks feeling very relaxed – perhaps we should have done it the other way round. Excellent weather. Favourite restaurants – Olive Garden, Sandbar (Anna Maria) and Applebees.

Our second stay. Enjoyed the pool and ice creams at Joe’s on Bradenton Beach. Children don’t want to go home and nor do we! Keep an eye out for the eagles around the lake – a very special treat to see them “fishing”.

Weather was great. Enjoyed your home – especially the heated pool and accessories. Tried every beach around. Siesta Key is great if you like sugar sand and a large crowd. South Lido Beach (our personal fave) is awesome if you like collecting shells, small waves and a small crowd. Our favourite eating place is the Star Fish Co. - a dive but the seafood is the best. We have also enjoyed Stonewood on Cortez and the Seafood Shack by Cortez Bridge and the City Pier, both casual. The kids really enjoyed Mixon Fruit Farm including the tour.Thanks for a great week. Back to 25F in Ohio.

Villa was terrific! Pool was wonderful! Definitely recommend the heating. Lazy Lobster on Lockwood Ridge and Johnny Carinos on University Parkway were our favourite restaurants. Our two sisters live in Garden Lake so it was very convenient for frequent visits. We spend a lot of time in this area every year and your villa was top notch.

Hi Brain and Olwen, Thanks for your email. I've been meaning to email you but have never gotten around to it yet. Well thanks so much for the use of your villa. We really enjoyed ourselves. The house was great. We found it quite "homey" compared to another one that we seen in the subdivision where family of ours was staying. Our daughter loved the pool so much that we couldn't get her dressed fast enough to go in and it was fight to get her out every time. The pool guy was also a very nice guy, very friendly. We had went out to Sarasota Jungle gardens one day and the was really nice to see. We ate out a couple times but for the rest just cooked at home. Something I enjoy. We look forward to possibly renting it again in the future. We really enjoyed ourselves and your villa. The view was also very beautiful of the lake and wildlife. Thanks so much.

Hello Brian & Olwen We had a terrific time in Bradenton/Sarasota. Your villa was very nice and comfortable. The weather was also excellent with plenty of sunshine and 70/80 temperatures. We played golf everyday on some great golf courses. I have been going to this area of Florida since I was about 10 years old as my Aunt lived in Palma Sola next to the DeSoto monument. Hope all is well with you and your family. Best Regards,
