Great property and very equipped with everything you could think of ! Chris was very prompt on communication and helpful with everything that we required for the stay at their property. The yard is great for dogs and the pool was fun for the kids. They also have a little extra room that we hung out in with the cool light system. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Such a spacious, comfortable, family, home or wonderful for groups. The split floor plan with a main bedroom and bath on one side of the home and three additional bedrooms and a bathroom on the other side of the home with a spacious living room, dining room, and family/Florida room right by the pool gave all of us individual areas to gather. Every imaginable kitchen gadget offered us great opportunity to cook family meals with ease. The two car garage had every extra you could need for the beach and coolers and chairs, and even room to park your car if you want. The washer and dryer had a great utility sink with it and all the products necessary. The kitchen was even full of cooking spices! The large fenced in backyard had a table to gather chairs to rest in, and the pool was sparkling clean. The host checked in with us regularly and was so ready to help us with anything extra, you are in wonderful hands with them! Lastly, this home is in such a wonderful neighborhood, super safe less than a mile from every type of grocery/shopping/dining experience you could want and still less than 10 minutes from the ocean. Wonderful host and wonderful experience!

Everything was great!!Very good location close to Publix, Danny’s pizza, Walmart only a few miles away.They allowed pets so I was able to bring our small dog instead of boarding him. Back yard was fenced so we weren’t worried about dog or kids.Hoping to go back in a few months.The owner also texted us to make sure we were all set.

Perfect Family Vacation

This was our second time staying at this property and it definitely will not be our last. I cannot say enough good things about the property or the hosts. Chris was excellent at communicating with us before and during our stay. The house itself is very clean and well stocked. Our family loved swimming in the beautiful pool. We also loved the location - close to stores and restaurants. It also was just a short drive when we wanted to go to the beach. I highly recommend this property.

Great Home & Location

Our stay was short but definitely great. We where there for my daughter's Track & Field State Championships at IMG Academy and the location of this home was ideal. It made for a short ride to and from which was great. The home was very clean and well stocked. The pool was perfect, clean and heated as well. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect House for a Lax Tournament

We came for a lacrosse tournament in Bradenton and this was perfect! We had instacart delivered when we arrived and cooked the first night. Close to Anna Maria Island for dinners out. It had chairs for the tournament and for the beach! Quiet neighborhood so our girls were able to go to sleep early. We had a great stay!

Nice home, great location, wonderful pool!

Our family really enjoyed this home. They had beach toys, beach wagon, umbrellas, beach towels, etc. for us to use. The backyard was perfect for relaxing and the kids loved the pool! We wish there was an umbrella or canopy to use in backyard to escape full sunshine a couple afternoons while sitting pool side.
