Enjoyed Our Stay

We stayed 4 days and 5 nights at this property for a kayaking vacation. This property is directly on a canal which feeds into Sarasota Bay. It also has a pool in the lanai which we made use of daily. There is no view from the home, but there is plenty of nature to enjoy out on the water. The Bradenton area is not the greatest, so we headed out to Sarasota and Tampa for dining and nightlife. But overall, the street where this property is located is quiet and safe. The property is clean and well-kept. Oir check-in and check-out were seamless.
