There were plenty of stores nearby. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. Backyard patio has plenty of seating and ready for relaxation. The host was helpful and offered suggestions.
This property was great. They were very accommodating and had a large kitchen that made it easy for us to all prepare and enjoy dinner together. Only a short drive to the beach and close to a gym and plenty of stores. We will definitely stay here again!

Thanks Marrisa,
It was a pleasure to have you. Your welcome back anytime!
The property was well appointed with plenty of cooking and eating utensils, towels, and sheets. Closet space was ample. All the supporting services, gas, liquor and food were a short drive away as were loads of restaurants of every type of food you could want. Beaches were about 10 minutes away by car depending on the beach you preferred. South Lido was our favorite.
Well kept mid century furnished home. Plenty of room. Comfortable beds, including hidden Murphy bed. Very close to Hwy. 41, Spanish Point, Gulf Gate, and even Siesta Key. We rode our bikes (which we brought) to many places.
Went out on a boat with Capt. Mark in Boca Grande for an afternoon and had a wonderful, fact filled, historic tour as well as seeing hundreds of huge Tarpon. Excellent food and drinks on Cabbage Key as well as at Scarpa in Bova Grande.
Quiet little neighborhood. Short walking distance to 2 access points on intercoastal waterway.
