Thank you so much! 🌟 We’re so glad you enjoyed the layout and outdoor kitchen — perfect for family gatherings and foodie fun! 👨👩👧👦🍴 Hope to welcome you back soon! 🌴😊
This property is amazing! Great backyard activities for all ages! Our grandkids ages 4-14 especially loved the pickle ball court & of course the beautiful and warm pool! The adults also enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings after a long day!! And then have the most comfy beds too! I would highly recommend this property & hope to return in the future.
Amazing home. We comfortably housed 6 adults and 5 kids ages 10-14. We enjoyed both the location and amenities. Location: close toA.M.I. beaches, restaurants and shopping, also close to Robinson Preserve and DeSoto National Memorial and docks on Manatee River.Amenities: Enjoyed the pickleball, warm pool, fire pit, mini golf and swings/playground equipment. Well stocked with kitchen dishes/utinsels/pots and pans and appliances. Lots of TV's. Everything was in top notch shape and great working order.
The house was perfect! Spacious, updated, clean, and super close to everything we needed. The beaches were right down the road! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to make memories for our friends and families in 2023! Will keep this listing for the future!

Thank you, Tom! 🙏 We're so glad you and your family enjoyed the house 🏡✨ and its convenient location to all the beaches 🌊☀️. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! 💙
Unforgettable stay at this home away from home. Every amenity you could wish for with outdoor activities and indoor game room the kids never were bored! What a masterpiece inside and out, heated pool outdoor tv, pickleball, swing set with climbing structure, mini put put and more with game room inside. We could go on and on about this place! Wow wow wow. Minutes from beaches. Hosts go above and beyond to make the stay wonderful. We were sad to leave and can’t wait to return for many more vacations to come!! Could not be happier with choosing this place !
