This lace was amazing. Kim was an absolutely amazing host, she was so easy to contact with and her description of the place was spot on, you couldn’t ask for a more perfect host. She gave a care basket 2 beach chairs and left you clear instructions.

Great communication from Kim. Very cute and clean place. Nice view, it was a fun area to stay and walk. Nice linens, cozy beds, coffee and some goodies there for us. It was chilly while we were there so didn’t get to enjoy the beautiful lanai or beach, it is well stocked for going to the beach. Will definitely stay there again.

Ellen ~ Thank you for the great review. Cleanliness is just so important especially these days! We try to do our best to create clean and comfortable stay for our guest. You guys really did take advantage of our location and explored the beautiful areas of St. Pete, Anna Maria Island and Bradenton. All wonderful places for a day trip.
