Kristen’s property is wonderful! This was our 2nd stay at the house. It has everything you could want-clean, quiet and relaxing! Our dogs love it too. If you want to stay out in the country and away from the crowds of Bradenton this is your place.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area as it was minutes from town and surrounding attractions on a beautiful partial of waterfront land.

What makes this property unique

The property is peaceful with a large waterfront area to enjoy. Plenty of room to stretch out away from the crowded vacation rental areas and at the same time be minutes away from everything that the area has to offer.
