Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad your family had a wonderful stay—it truly means a lot to us. Creating a space where families can relax, connect, and make great memories is exactly what we hope for. We’d love to host you again anytime!
Excellent property. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay!Check-in was super easy, and the home was exceptionally well-kept, comfortable, and fully loaded with amenities. There was honestly so much provided that we didn’t even have time to take advantage of half of it!The communication was AMAZING. One of the most responsive hosts I’ve ever encountered. They were incredibly accommodating, hospitable, and made the entire experience seamless from start to finish.Great property, great host, and a great overall experience. Highly recommended!
I almost never leave online reviews, but the Product Manager in me felt compelled to write this one. The attention to detail was incredible!From the welcome gift basket to the spare toothbrushes and even a perfectly stocked junk drawer with chargers, tape, and all those little things you never think to pack, these hosts have truly thought of everything.The house itself was beautiful, modern, spotless, and even more spacious than we expected. There were books, stuffies, games, and puzzles for the kids, and the games room was a huge hit with our boys!The outdoor space was fantastic. The pool was large, perfectly heated, and ideal for our 7- and 10-year-olds. Evening swims were a highlight! And somehow, we didn't see a single bug the entire stay.The neighbourhood was lovely and perfectly located for exploring the area, with easy access to Anna Maria Island, beaches farther south, Tampa Zoo, and the Ellenton outlets.Communication with our hosts was excellent from start to finish. Everything we needed, without the constant automated messages you sometimes get from larger property management companies. It genuinely felt like renting from real people who care about their guests, the way VRBO was meant to be.We absolutely loved our stay. Don't hesitate to book this place. We miss it already!

We loved our stay! The entire house was very clean. The hosts were accommodating and quick to respond. Our favorite place to hang out was the backyard with pool, fire pit, and mini golf. The kids loved the game room. We will be back in the future!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy you and your family enjoyed your stay at Playful Palm Retreat and had fun spending time in the backyard with the heated pool, fire pit, and mini golf. It’s great to hear the kids loved the game room as well. We’re glad you were able to relax and enjoy the area, and we would love to host you again anytime!
Fantastic stay at this property! My husband and I actually live about 7 miles from this residence but needed more space to accommodate a family visit. From beginning to end, communication with the hosts was fantastic. Texted questions were answered in, literally, minutes.The home was very comfortably furnished and decorated in bright, fun colors. It was immaculate! We were so amazed at the level of detail in the amenities provided from the fun welcome basket (s’more fixings and more) to personal bath products. The game room and multitude of indoor and outdoor games provided hours of enjoyment for the entire family (6 of us) when we weren’t in the pool or relaxing in one of the many outdoor seating areas or around the fire pit.The kitchen was super well equipped and even offered many hot beverage items provided.(This residence is a short ride to Anna Maria Island but, honestly, we only left the property once to go to the beach as we happy just enjoying everything that this property had to offer.)Again, a super stay. Could not have asked for a better experience for our family visit.
Excellent property! We had an amazing few days. My kids and all of us absolutely loved the pool and all the outdoor activities the house had to offer. We made BBQ , cooked at home, and found everything we needed to do so. There were many extra items we did not expect to find, and the s’mores basket was truly a wonderful bonus. There were also plenty of pool towels, condiments, kitchen utensils, and smart TVs. All of this made our vacation even more enjoyable. Thank you so much for everything!
Excellent experience! Lots of amenities! Very clean and professionally operated! Excellent value!
