My wife and I rented the VRBO to stay near her parents and accommodate both she and I, her uncle, and her brother, all of whom came in from out of town, to help her dad celebrate his 85th birthday. Even though only three of us stayed at the home, it’s the perfect size for two couples or a small family. We were able to gather as a small group and spend lots of quality family time on the premises. We regularly ate in the screened in patio that was kept cool by the cross breeze and ceiling fan and prepared some wonderful meals in the kitchen. What we liked: quiet neighborhood, proximity to Ana Maria Island, proximity to shopping on Manatee And Cortez Ave, proximity to Desoto Park and Robinson preserve, proximity to downtown, access to bikes, plenty of towels and beach towels, ability to grill, ability to wash and dry clothes,, very fair price for all it had to offer, and our hosts, Greg and Cindy, who were always quick to respond and super kind when we had questions or if we had minor needs. They were extremely accommodating. We would definitely stay there again.
