Beach

Host kept the AC at 77° during the day. It wasn't till I contacted her the next day and asked her to please turn the air down. She said she could only go down one degree to 76 The AC system was on it EcoNest system.It was very uncomfortable. Great location but will not be staying at this place again. The whole place needed lots and lots and lots of TLC and renovation which it just seemed very neglected.

Perfect Bay View

Lori was so easy to work with and her place was super clean and decorated tastefully. The kitchen and bathroom were stocked and basically all we needed was our clothes and food. She had a basket of waters & popcorn & a sweet welcome note that included the sunset & sunrise times waiting for us on the kitchen counter. Lori is an exceptional hostess!

Great Christmas Retreat

We were truly blessed to stay at your property just after Christmas. It is walking distance to the beach and right next to a park. The house was stocked with everything you could ever need. We enjoyed the peaceful bay and the quiet neighborhood. I was even able to bring my boat and catch fish. Will definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your home.

Amazing Place for a Stay.

Stayed for 4 nights. Place was immaculately clean and well-maintained. Well stocked with everything we needed. Also in a great location <5 minutes from the grocery store and several good places to eat. Beach was literally a 3 minute easy walk away. The park out front was a lovely place to watch the sunrise, and the porch in the afternoon was a great place to relax and read. I would recommend this rental to anyone who wants a quiet place to stay in the area.

Home Away from Home

Our stay at Lori's property was the perfect place for our small group. Location was perfect for early morning sunrises on the bay and evening sunsets on the Gulf.We could not have asked for a better, more clean, perfect place to stay. Lori was more than gracious to get the place clean and tidy four hours earlier than the normal check-in because we'd been on a long red eye flight the night before. We were welcomed to a cool, very clean, and fresh smelling comfortable place that had everything we could possibly think of needing. I give Lori and her home away from home the highest of ratings and will reach out if we're ever in the area again in the future.

Just Perfect

The property was clean and well stocked for our stay. Short walk to the beach and the towels, chairs, and wagon to take everything along was a fabulous touch. Communication with the owner (even staying there for the holiday) was easy. The welcome basket and personal note were lovely. The fact that the house was decorated for Christmas, including a beautifully decorated tree, was absolutely above and beyond. Thank you for such a nice stay. Would definitely rent this home again.

All we could ask for!

We had a fantastic time staying at Loris place! We had high expectations and they got surpassed. The location is amazing, a quiet, cute street and very close to the beach. Everyone we meet were so firendly! We enjoyed having a coffee and looking at the sunrise every morning from the patio. And we could catch the sunset at the beach every evening. Lori had left us a lovely note that made us feel so welcomed. The basketball court and the small playground were perfect for our kids when they needed to burn of some energy. The whole family really enjoyed the park area outside. We could find everything we needed! Our daugther even found a basket with toys for indoor play. My husband and I really enjoyed the very nice home decor. Lori was great to have contact with, the few questions we had we got very fast response to. The whole family wish that we can be back soon, although there is a long way from Stockholm. Staying a Loris was the best way we could end our vacation in Florida and will always be a great memory for our family.

Great Vacation

Came here with my family for my birthday for a week. Lori really provided us with everything that we could’ve needed. The place upon arrival was immaculate. Loved the views of the sunrise from the balcony and my husband enjoyed fishing on the beach every morning. There’s a playground and park right out front so my 3 year old really enjoyed that. Overall it was a great vacation and location. Highly recommend Lori’s place and look forward to coming back in the future.

Peaceful setting

We needed a quiet week & non party atmosphere and we got it and more! We had the bay view and could walk two blocks to the beach. Our host provided a wagon, chairs, towels, umbrella and more. One of the most beautiful places ever- especially the sunsets on the beach! We did the Kayak tour and saw Manatees, dolphin boat tour, rooftop eating during sunset, went to the north tip of the island to watch night fishing. Anna Maria Island should be on everyone’s bucketlist!

About the host

Hosted by Lori

I moved to the area in 2007 taking a job working as a Marine Chemist at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, FL. As an avid lover of the Marine Environment, it was a dream come true to be able to own a property on Sarasota Bay, so close to the beach, and to be able to raise my daughter here! I am originally from the Chicago area, so the quiet town of Bradenton Beach is a welcome retreat from the cold winters up north! In 2015, my precious daughter Isabella was born- the light of my lives - and whom I named the property after! Things have changed since my early days working at Mote! I now own and run Rhea Lana's of Manatee, a children's consignment event franchise, that helps local families sell their gently used children's items. I also manage the rental and enjoy being with my precious angel. I still love the Ocean and Marine Life, just as much though! The two of us live full-time on the other side of the duplex and are readily available to help make your vacation complete.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in Chicago, lived in South Carolina for 6 years while attending college, and San Diego, California, for another couple of years. None of these places felt like my forever home, so I saved up money and began travelling through most of the USA and the world for a year. It wasn't until I moved to the Sarasota area until I really felt "home" and felt that this was an area I could stay. I love being on the west coast of FL, where you can see the sunrise and set over the water in the same day and swim in the warm tranquil waters of the Gulf of Mexico. I feel so lucky to have such beautiful, warm water to explore and relax in and yet still be close to our family in the Continental US!

What makes this property unique

Sweeping Bay views from the main living area, and one block from the beach, make this an ideal spot to witness the beginning and end of each day! There is also nothing like seeing the full moon glistening over the bay waters!
