Aw thank you so much for your kind words, Daniela! I'm so glad you enjoyed our home and its proximity to Anna Maria. You’re welcome back anytime for more sunshine and sweet memories!
Really great stay for Mother’s Day weekend! Place was nice and had a ton of features, communication from host was fantastic, would 100% stay again. Overall great place for a vacation stay.
The home was family friendly with the pool and plenty of things to do. Things were well labeled and had new appliances. One of the best rental properties I've stayed at.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We love welcoming families and do our best to have a little something for everyone, no matter the age. So glad you had a great stay, and we’d absolutely love to have you back again anytime! 🍊
Platinum Standard – The Best VRBO We’ve Ever Stayed InAfter over a decade of using VRBO, this home is truly platinum standard. It exceeded every expectation.From the moment you walk in, it smells like fresh oranges with a charming vintage beach vibe (60s/70s citrus feel) blended perfectly with modern updates. The bathrooms feel like a spa—giant mirrors, surround sound, blue lighting, and fully stocked with quality toiletries, hairdryers, curling irons, and more.Every detail is thoughtfully done—labeled supplies, great paper products, laundry/dish pods, and plenty of storage. The beds are incredibly comfortable with soft sheets and fluffy pillows.The outdoor space is amazing: heated hot tub ready on arrival, pool, outdoor shower and bathroom, giant TV, cozy seating, fire pit (with s’mores kit!), and a unique kitchen window bar for serving outside.Perfect for families or adults—kids have bunk beds, toys, games, and pool gear, but the space can easily feel adults-only. Extras like a massage chair (don’t skip it!), Nintendo Switch, desk workspace, doggie door, and indoor/outdoor laundry make it even better.We lacked nothing. This is hands-down the best VRBO we’ve stayed in.

Hi Jennifer! Wow…this truly means so much to us. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review.
We designed Citrus Soirée specifically for families. Most vacation homes forget how much work travel with large groups and kids actually is. Our goal is to remove that load so you can walk in, feel settled right away, and actually rest.
If you felt taken care of, then we did our job.
We’re so grateful you chose us, and we would absolutely love to host you again anytime 🍊
This house and the hosts were absolutely wonderful! We fell in love with the house the second we walked in the door and found new things to love throughout the week. The hosts truly thought of everything and made our stay feel like a resort with all of the upgrades and personal touches. The house is beautifully decorated, all of the beds were so comfortable, the bathrooms were like a spa and had built-in Bluetooth speakers that my kids loved, and the outdoor area with pool, hot tub, fire pit, etc. was like a little oasis. I truly could not have asked for a better place for our family vacation. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and responsive as well. 10/10 stay and would definitely book this place again. Beaches were a quick 15 min drive away. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Perfect retreat for our big family! Great for kids and its obvious the owners really care about providing a 5 star stay!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're so happy your family had a great stay. We love making things fun and easy for kids, and we hope our home becomes a new family tradition for you all! 🍊
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear it was your best stay ever. We'd be honored to host you again anytime! 🍊 Citrus & Serena Stays
We loved this house! It was a beautiful stay, we will definitely reach out to stay again. The house was exactly as described. The communication was quick and accommodating and above everything, the house was so clean. It was between the high 60s and 70s so the pool did have a hard time gettting warm and the hot tub had some jet issues that we figured out with the instructional packet found in the house. The kids loved all the amenities, the massage chair the arcade the smore box was a favorite as well. Cooking was easy, keeping the space clean was easy, plenty of towels and linens. We loved the ease of pulling the car into the garage and keeping things contained to the laundry room. The garage was stocked with beach things that made a long day at Anna Maria perfect. There is literally everything that you could need at the property and if there are any questions or concerns, the team is immediate to respond. We had the pleasure of meeting the cleaner on the way out and was greatful to be able to express our gratitude because this house was clean. I hardly ever leave 5 stars because most places have me searching for bugs or stains, in 5 minutes of walking into this property I knew I could relax. The only thing I could thing of that would make this property better would be maybe a robot vacuum to set at night although they do have a easy to use cordless shark that we were grateful for. Thank you for a relaxing couple of days, we'll be back!
We had a wonderful stay at Citrus Soiree, perfect for a family with children, great heated pool and patio, kitchen had all we needed. The hosts were very attentive and communicative!

This house is perfect! The decor, the attention to detail, everything is amazing! Super clean all throughout and that's saying a lot because I'm very particular, especially with bathrooms and kitchens...spotless! Hot clean showers, convenient labels for everything and my 5 year old neice had a ball! My 17 year old son said he's been needing a vacation like this. We are already trying to find availiability so we can come back ASAP! Oh, and the beds are soooo comfy!!
Everything was very nice. Owners had everything you need and then some. They have literally thought of everything. Thank you for having us. The massage chair was a big hit with the adults.

Very clean and welcoming. Only a couple of minutes from local shops, restaurants and grocery stores. Less than 15 minutes from Anna Maria Beach (which is gorgeous)! Kids loves finding all of the different sea shells. Coming home and dipping into a warm pool was the perfect way to end the day❤️

There were plenty of supplies for our stay. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were lovely. We loved the pool area and spent most of our time there. The pool temperature was so perfect, the best we've ever had and we've stayed at a lot of Vrbo's. The massage chair was a nice touch. We hope to return soon. Serena is the best hostess ever!!

From the very first communication with the host ,Serena, I knew this was where I wanted to hold our family retreat following my father's Veteran's memorial service. Serena was so compassionate and sensitive to the nature of our gathering and offered so many kind and supportive words leading up to and throughout our stay. But let me tell you..., WOW! Her home was absolutely the most perfect and beautiful setting for our large family gathering.We were all able to spend quality time together and still have plenty of space to ourselves and not feel like we were on top of one another. She literally thought of EVERYTHING! The attention to detail in decor, amenities and cleanliness can not be matched. I have mixed emotions about leaving this review. It desrves every bit of a five star plus rating but I find myself wanting to keep this little gem to myself.. ha ha.. Bottom line, do not hesitate to book this amazing property. You will NOT be dissapointed! Thank you Serena for everything. I feel like I made a new friend!

Hi Jeanette, oh my heart…thank you so much for this deeply touching message 💛 From the moment you reached out, I could feel the weight of what this trip meant to you and your family. It was an absolute honor to be entrusted with such a meaningful time in your lives. We truly wanted to give you more than just a place to stay; we wanted to give you comfort, peace and warmth when you needed it most. Reading that the home brought your family together, allowed for laughter and connection, and gave you the space to grieve and celebrate your father's life means the world to me. That is the very heart of why we do what we do. Thank you for seeing the love we poured into every corner. Please know that this little oasis will always have a door open for you. And yes, you absolutely made a new friend 🍊 // Citrus & Serena Stays // @citrusandserena
Top notch host, every imaginable amenity, extremely clean and super fun! We hosted a 15th birthday sleepover for my daughter & 8 friends. They had the best time taking photos all around the house and swimming in the pool. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and enough extra blankets for everyone. The space is well thought out and the video games were a fun extra touch. Love Ms. Pac-Man! Oh and my husband loved the massage chair! I did reach out to find out why the pool light wasn’t working and didn’t get a response until too late but it was fine - no one cared because they were so entertained. Lol. Come the next day and we were shocked to see the host gave us a credit for not responding right away. That to me is what a true professional does and that small gesture makes us want to continue to give future business to this great host. Thank you for a wonderful time my daughter will never forget.
