Property was very well described. Communication with the Guest Contact was exceptional. Our weekend stay was very nice and the pool and hot tub provided the desired relief from the winter weather. Proximity to minor league ball parks was great as we visited two stadiums during our visit.
Great place to stay for a family vacation! Many hours were enjoyed in the pool, hot tub, kayaking (the house has 6 to use), fishing (house has 1 pole) off the canal, walking the nearby neighborhoods, and going to the beach. The homeowner was quick to respond and allowed us to check in a little early to accommodate flight times. Having beach chairs, a cooler, and beach towels provided made our day trips much easier. Would stay here again myself and would definitely get Five Star Pizza again too!!
The host was kind enough to allow us to arrive a bit earlier ( drove in from NJ) The house was clean & cool ! We did not get to use the bikes or kayaks due to me not feeling well. The pool was great, hot tub was green ( some issues) that the host remedied . The home was nicer than the pictures. Thank you for having us.
We loved sitting by the pool or on the patio looking at the canal teeming with fish! The house is spacious and well laid out. We also kept or boat in the water at the dock. Plenty of room for a truck and trailer out front.
Wonderful place! Beautiful canal (fun for kayaking!!), pool was amazing! The house was very so cute. Short drive to beaches. Bicycles were added fun! We enjoyed our stay..
The owner was a pleasure to work with, property was clean and beds were comfortable. We used the hot tub and our friend pulled up his boat to take us to dinner. Lovely stay!
We totally enjoyed our stay. Pool and hot tub were very relaxing. Communication with property manager could not have been better. We received answers within 2 minutes if texting.
Wonderful place! Beautiful canal (fun for kayaking!!), pool and hot tub were amazing! The house was remodeled so cute. Short drive to some wonderful beaches. Bicycles were added fun! Highly recommend for a small group or couple.

My first time
5 stars for sure! This was my 1st time ever booking a home in Vrbo & I am extremely happy! We only booked for 2 nights for a family wedding. Will definitely keep this house in mind for future stays that are a bit longer!
Loved our time at this house! Very clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were updated. Having a pool and hot tub along with the use of the kayaks was a huge plus! Close to the beaches and shopping made it convenient to not stay at a hotel. The host was very responsive and went out of her way to accommodate us! Will definitely recommend and come back!

Great Weekend
We had a great stay. There were four of us for two nights and we all enjoyed the place. Everything is clean and up to date. We loved the parking since there were two full size pickups and one boat trailer. It was nice having the canal in the back yard. My son caught a few nice snook, I wasn’t so lucky. The owner was very responsive also. All in all we enjoyed it and my wife said she would stay there again.
This property is nicley updated and fit all 9 of us with an infant perfectly. Being on a canal that is close to the intercoastal was cool. We got to see manatees one morning.
The house is perfect for our family. Clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Kitchen is stocked with essentials. My boys and I like to take the kayaks out to the canal. There are adult and children life jackets. The pool area furniture is comfortable. Wonderful stay for our family. Definitely will come back again.
The pool, hot-tub and screened in patio were great. The view from the canal that leads to the ocean is beautiful. I enjoyed kayaking out to the ocean, it was a wonderful experience. House is spotless and clean. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything we need for our stay. We appreciate the cooler and 4 beach chairs, came in handly for beach day. We would definitely book it again.
We had a great mini vacation. House is better than the description. It was clean and comfortable. Kids were fascinated with the Murphy bed bedroom setup. We enjoyed the hot-tub and pool. Property manager was responsive and helpful. Kayaked around the canal and out to the gulf with my kids and they really enjoyed the experience. Location is great, close to everything, including beach. Definitely recommend.
Very clean! I would stay here again with my kids and grandkids. The door to the pool is heavy so we felt safe having the grandkids sleep in that area. Grandson loved watching the big planes fly overhead. The sound was not bad. I’m very picky, used to travel for work, and need a great space. This is it!
I liked the location, close to beaches. It was nice having kayaks to use(easier to get into them during high tide). When we arrived the pool was dirty, it got cleaned the 3rd day of our trip. We ended up buying tongs for the grill and some extra toilet paper. Other than that the house was clean and it was nice having a pool, hottub and kyaks. We definitely got use out of the amenities.

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
Smaller than pictures. Outside around dock it was not kept up and dirty. Nothing special. Everything was provided but a few items were either broken or not in good condition to use. The solid plus was how easy it was to get out of the canal to the gulf. I also very much enjoyed the bathtub and the kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Overall we would not come back to this property.

Hi Meshell, we’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the easy access to the canal and Gulf, as well as the bathtub, pool, and hot tub. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your review, and they would like to share the following:- The guest did not mention any broken or missing items during their stay, despite having my contact information upon check-in to address any concerns, so we were unable to replace them at the time.- Our cleaning crew inspects the dock area at every turnover, and we also have biweekly lawn service.- As the dock is outdoors, it’s out of our control to prevent leaves and debris from gathering because of natural factors.We appreciate you sharing your experience—it helps us continue to provide the 5-star stays we’re known for!
Location was good/nice/quiet with the exception that it was at least 25 minutes away from anything we wanted to do. I should've checked to see how far from the Beach and Siesta Key this location was. When we arrived the property was clean and very nice. The beds were so comfortable. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Communication with the owner was a breeze. I only had one complaint and that was that the sliding glass doors to the pool were very hard to open and close. Other than that our stay was great.
