Perfect family house

This house is perfect! The decor, the attention to detail, everything is amazing! Super clean all throughout and that's saying a lot because I'm very particular, especially with bathrooms and kitchens...spotless! Hot clean showers, convenient labels for everything and my 5 year old neice had a ball! My 17 year old son said he's been needing a vacation like this. We are already trying to find availiability so we can come back ASAP! Oh, and the beds are soooo comfy!!

Love Citrus Soir'ee

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was very conveniently close to anything we needed. The house was tastefully decorated and it was spotless. There were plenty of supplies for our stay. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were lovely. We loved the pool area and spent most of our time there. The pool temperature was so perfect, the best we've ever had and we've stayed at a lot of Vrbo's. The massage chair was a nice touch. We hope to return soon. Serena is the best hostess ever!!

Very clean and welcoming. Only a couple of minutes from local shops, restaurants and grocery stores. Less than 15 minutes from Anna Maria Beach (which is gorgeous)! Kids loves finding all of the different sea shells. Coming home and dipping into a warm pool was the perfect way to end the day❤️

This is one of the best short term rentals I’ve ever stayed in. Serena made it super easy to check in. They’ve thought of everything! My kids had books to read, toys to play with, and the pool was so nice. We didn’t even have to bring any of our normal beach items. They had everything ready for a great vacation.

Dad's memorial Retreat

From the very first communication with the host ,Serena, I knew this was where I wanted to hold our family retreat following my father's Veteran's memorial service. Serena was so compassionate and sensitive to the nature of our gathering and offered so many kind and supportive words leading up to and throughout our stay. But let me tell you..., WOW! Her home was absolutely the most perfect and beautiful setting for our large family gathering.We were all able to spend quality time together and still have plenty of space to ourselves and not feel like we were on top of one another. She literally thought of EVERYTHING! The attention to detail in decor, amenities and cleanliness can not be matched. I have mixed emotions about leaving this review. It desrves every bit of a five star plus rating but I find myself wanting to keep this little gem to myself.. ha ha.. Bottom line, do not hesitate to book this amazing property. You will NOT be dissapointed! Thank you Serena for everything. I feel like I made a new friend!

No detail was overlooked…

Top notch host, every imaginable amenity, extremely clean and super fun! We hosted a 15th birthday sleepover for my daughter & 8 friends. They had the best time taking photos all around the house and swimming in the pool. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and enough extra blankets for everyone. The space is well thought out and the video games were a fun extra touch. Love Ms. Pac-Man! Oh and my husband loved the massage chair! I did reach out to find out why the pool light wasn’t working and didn’t get a response until too late but it was fine - no one cared because they were so entertained. Lol. Come the next day and we were shocked to see the host gave us a credit for not responding right away. That to me is what a true professional does and that small gesture makes us want to continue to give future business to this great host. Thank you for a wonderful time my daughter will never forget.
