One of the most amazing places we've stayed in Florida and we go every summer! The fact there no added pet fees and tons of restrictions on bringing your pets made it even better! Sitting in the sun room and watching dolphins every day was so peaceful and relaxing! Not in the middle of all the busy parts of Florida but close enough to the nicest gulf beaches! I would definitely recommend staying here! Im pretty sure we found our spot for every year now!

The house was exactly as described in the listing. We were only in town for a couple days, but enjoyed the chairs out by the water and the convenience to Bradenton and the interstate. We would definitely stay at this home again.

We travel with our dog. The property is not fenced in, but we knew that when we booked this home. We chose it for the view and that did not disappoint. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are friendly. Lots of flea markets and antique shops to enjoy. Anna Maria's Oyster Bar is excellent and four minutes down the road (dog friendly)! It was a nice escape from the cold North.

Loved our stay here. House was very clean and the location is perfect. Walking up to the sunrise and ending our day with a fire in fire pit were probably my favorite parts. A relaxing stay in a lovely waterfront home. Having a Host that’s very responsive with clear communication put my mind at ease with this rental. We plan to rent here again when at all possible!

The location and convenience of the property were great for us. We were traveling into town for a gymnastics competition for our daughter a chose this location over the previous one due to the proximity to the event center. House was clean and had plenty of space for us and our small 10 lb dog.
