It was a good thing the neighbor was there to unlock the key. Also the pool area needs some major repairs. The screen doors need to be replaced. You could also see the damage from hurricane with the plants outside the pool. The neighbors in the back need to prune there bushes so the ones in this place can do better. The house was very nice.

New Year’s in Florida

We traveled from Richmond to enjoy New Year’s in Florida. The house was even nicer in person with a great layout and lots of amenities and thoughtful touches. Loved the personalized note and snack basket. Having a heated pool was extra nice!! Owner was super communicative and friendly. Laundry on premises was awesome especially to wash beach towels. Linens provided a major plus. Location was safe and also very convenient to downtown and beaches. Thanks for sharing your beautiful beach home!!

Perfect place to stay in Bradenton

We were in town for a lacrosse tournament at IMG academy and this home was very conveniently located to IMG. For the moment the house was booked the owner was very communicative. When we arrived we were greeted to a very clean house that was so inviting, and a hostess basket filled with snacks. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were quite comfy. The bathrooms were very clean and updated. The open concept kitchen with island seating was well equipped with everything you might need. Relaxing by the screened in pool was just what we needed after long days at lacrosse games. Conveniently located to stores, and great restaurants. Cannot say enough about what a great stay we had. Definitely will rebook if we head to the area again.

A lovely place to stay

It’s a beautiful holiday home to stay for several weeks. Everything you need is available even an air fryer, a microwave, an oven, coffee machine and many more. We stayed there for two weeks during the hurricane Idalia and Joe, the host, contacted us and provided instructions how stay safe and be well prepared for the storm. We got luck and the storm turned in north directions, so that our area was not really affected by the hurricane. The pool area is great and the pool service is Wednesdays. Pool/ Beach towels, chairs and umbrellas are also available and stored in the garage. The beach is only 12min away (by car) and the neighborhood is very quiet. The grill and the bikes need a little love by a technician in the near future ;) but I am pretty sure Joe will take care of it.

We had an amazing stay at this home. The house was spotless and maintain. The private pool was a highlight, clean, relaxing and perfect for enjoying the sun. We spent a lot of time on AMI - but was perfect to come back here to this house to relax in our own uncrowded space. The home was fully equipped from well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds, and plenty of space to spread out. Host was excellent, great communication and offer of recommendations.

Minutes from Anna Maria Island

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our 20th year anniversary. The house was beautiful, welcoming with an open floor plan and perfectly decorated. We felt right at home. Everything we needed to make it a perfect stay was included. House is minutes from Anna Maria Island with it's pristine white sand beaches and clear blue waters. Pool was so refreshing during the hot sunny days. It lit up at night creating an inviting and tranquil atmosphere. And to top things off, the amazing hosts, Joe and Alexa, made it a hassle free rental. They provided excellent communciation, recommended restaurants and activities to do. Simply a memorable experience. We look forward to renting again.

The house was clean, had everything you needed and owner even ordered an air fryer because a previous guest suggested it. Joe was very responsive, nice and even ordered my daughter a small gift for her birthday which was so kind. I would highly recommend this house - pool was great and the location was excellent and so close to the beaches. I would definitely rent this house again. Thank you to Joe !!!
