First time staying here, but hopefully not last. Location to everything was ideal. Loved going to the beach in the mornings, and enjoyed the pool in the afternoons. Also loved morning walks to De Soto to hike the trails. House has been meticulously cared for, it's clean and well-maintained. Beds are comfortable.

4th of July Week

Location was great, short drive to Anna Maria Island beaches. Backyard was perfect for enjoying burgers/hot dogs on the grill with the pool and gazebo. Made it great for our 4th of July barbecue. House was clean and very comfortable for our large family. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Family Vacation Home!

The property was very nice. House was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. The pool was wonderful and we enjoyed the fenced yard too! The checkin & checkout was so easy and we were kept informed of everything. It's close to grocery and restaurants! Would highly recommend this place to our family and friends!

Relaxing Rereat

Very comfortable, clean and well stocked house. The fenced in backyard with it's pool and swing set was perfect for our dog and visiting family. The location is very convenient to the surrounding areas, grocery and beaches. The property mangers did a great job accommodating our requests during our month long stay.

Great house and location

Great location, everything was as pictured and described! Quiet neighborhood, private yard, close to a lot of beaches- Anna Maria Island, Siesta Key, Venice, and a short drive from the Tampa airport. Close to many stores and restaurants. Large, heated pool. House was clean with plenty of space. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect place to get to Anna Maria Island

This property was the perfect place for my husband and I and our 6 teenagers. It had plenty of room for all of us. Everything was clean and the pool was a great place to hang out for the teens. If you can't afford Anna Maria Island this is perfect place to stay. You can be there in 10-15 minutes and it was a great neigborhood to walk in. I highly recommend this place

My family and I had an amazing time. The only issues that wasn’t really an issue is two of the bedrooms didn’t have a tv in them but it really wasn’t that big of a deal because we spent most of the time at the pool.

It's all there

Our group of 10, including a toddler, maxed out the beds but had plenty of space in this very clean and comfortable house. The towel supply was generous and the kitchen supplies were of great quality. The pool and huge yard made our vacation over the top! Location is perfect: close to beach, Bishop Point, Desoto Memorial, Robinson Preserve, shopping...but in a quiet neighborhood. Really great vacation!

The house was clean and comfortable although there was a musty order when you walk in. The fenced in back yard was not properly cared for regarding the landscaping and brush. The pool was supposedly heated, but it was cold. I did not call as I prefer a cool swim, but I was not given the choice to have it heated or not although the information I was provided at check in stated it was an option. Overall it was a nice stay.

Family getaway

We had a fantastic time at Live Oaks. We had five adults for the duration of our trip and we had my niece and her family fly down and join us for a few days. They loved that there was a pool had a fence that we easily put up to keep their 3 year old safe and that it was easily removed when they left. So that the others could enjoy the pool with out the fence. We had a few issues that where taken care of promptly. The location was nice it was a quiet area which my older parents appreciated. If we come back to the area we would look at staying again. Thanks for a fantastic trip.

Disappointed and Cancelled Future StayThis home needs serious attention. It’s dated, with signs of water damage, loose toilets and toilet seats, and a clogged shower. The dryer broke, the garbage disposal backed up, and the AC couldn’t cool below 75. Kitchen items were worn, and the bedding felt old and thin.The back bathroom was especially neglected—I even replaced the shower curtain myself. When they clean, they need to realize you can see under the furniture; it was dusty and clearly overlooked. That said, the location is fantastic—quiet, convenient, and perfect for families. The pool was clean and well-maintained, and communication with the property company was easy and responsive via text.Overall, it felt like a home listed without proper updates or care.

Live Oak Lodge 2022

GREEN POOL WATER. First-time ever family gathering. Owner has a wonderful property which was inviting and stocked well with kitchen gear, linens, and towels. Unfortunately the outdoor pool which was a key selection feature for us was obviously not ready for us. The water was GREEN! A huge disappointment. Luckily we were located to many options in and around Bradenton. We went to the beach and to a relative’s house which had a properly maintained pool. Property Management fell far short for us. They had all my money weeks before our stay, so they have no excuse. Pool service showed up after I complained but pool water was green for the entire eight days.

Disappointing Property Management

We really enjoyed most of our stay. Very clean and close to beaches, shops and many restaurants! My only issue was trying to get in touch with the property manager prior to our visit and during our visit. Before our visit I had sent an email to find out about certain amenities and the cleaning process due to COVID. Never got a response. Then during our stay the dishwasher stopped working and I reached out to the property manager again with no response. And have yet to hear a word from them. We had 10 people staying with us and it was very disappointing to clean dishes every night while everyone else was relaxing or enjoying the pool.

It's hard to beat such a great location that's so close to everything. We are sad to hear that you had an issue with communication, I looked back to see our notes and see 10 emails sent prior to your arrival. The arrival instructions were sent 6 days prior to arrival and a reply had been sent about the dishwasher stating it has a switch under the sink. As far as cleaning procedures they are on every listing and would like to remind you that our 24/7/365 service is available by text or phone to take care of these items. Again please accept my apologies we are happy to make up for our shortcomings on your return.

Loved the roominess of the house.

Had some issues: pool being pond water green( talked to a guy about the pool being green and he assured me that it was supposed to be green and I said that you couldn’t even see the bottom and he again reassured me it was fine.) A little while later the pool man showed up and said he didn’t know we were coming in so soon and didn’t put enough chemicals in. It took about two days for the pool to clear up. Was fine after that. The light and fan didn’t work with the remote in the master bedroom, battery was dead and didn’t want to pay for a battery so we did without. Other lights worked. Was very surprised to see that there is no electrical outlet in the master bathroom.
