The house was immaculate and welcoming. We found the bed to be especially comfortable. All amenities were available and the house is well equipped making meal prep easy. Great location. Very enjoyable stay. Thank you David and Mary!
Everything about this home and the host was perfect! Our family enjoyed every minute of our stay, even the neighbors were more than willing to help with anything we needed! I can highly recommend this vacation home!
Great location to beaches, food, perfect for small family getaway, spacious, very clean and comfortable, owners are very communicative, loved having the pool and canal, included everything you could think of - pool toys, beach toys, chairs, umbrella, bikes etc. thanks again!
Wonderful home. Very spacious and clean. The owners quickly responded when needed. We enjoyed the heated swimming pool, riding the bikes available in the garage, and used the kayaks available to explore the canals and waterways launching from the back yard. We enjoyed the variety of birds and the one iguana who frequented the back yard. Being able to walk to Publix whenever we needed something was a treat. The neighbor was very helpful and we enjoyed his two golden retrievers.
The house was updated and nicely appointed. The kitchen had pretty much everything you’d need. It was great being near the grocery store and we could walk to my sister’s house to celebrate Thanksgiving together! We would stay here again for sure.
Lovely property, just where we wanted to be, a short drive to Boca Grande & Gasparilla Island.
Very well equipped & beautifully presented.
Well stocked Publix within walking distance.
Our highlight was the heated pool.
Helpful Hosts. All in all a wonderful stay.
This updated Florida Villa was perfect for us. It was very clean, furnished with more amenities than needed, and had some special touches. Close to some of the best golf courses in the area, the beach, nightlife, and a very quiet neighborhood. Owners were great to work with and very responsive. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Thank you Jane and Greg! We will be happy to host you again ☺️
One of the best we have stayed at. House is as described. Location is excellent. Street is quiet. The canal is not really useful but it did keep the shrimp alive. An option for pool heat would be the only suggestion.

Hi Chris not sure how the heated pool option wasn’t available to you! We do have a heated pool for an additional daily charge. Please look us up next time you are visiting! Loved to host you.

Property was immaculate, lots of clean towels, comfy beds, excellent amenities, and great communication. Quiet area with canal access, which is great. You can walk to Publix or hit the road to Boca or Englewood Beach super easily. The pool was nice and clean with lots of floaties! Lovely outdoor furniture to relax on. So amazing to have some bikes and kayaks available, it was heaven for us. Everything was just lovely. Thank you, David & Mary, for welcoming us into your home.
Location is great, right behind Publix grocery store and a block from main road into and out of Placida area. Lots of good walking and biking opportunities right from the house. Beaches and other activities are plentiful within a 15 minute drive. Kayaking in the canal is like being in your own little world. House is very clean and has everything you need, lots of space, too. Gators observed in the pond across the street. Host was responsive and helpful.

Thanks Greg! Please look us up if you return to Placida!
My father and I (both retired) spent five weeks at this property, located on a nice, quiet street, conveniently close to the grocery store. The house came with kayaks and bikes. We spent most days doing one or the other, then relaxing in the pool in the afternoon, and hanging out on the lanai into the evening. We kayaked in the canal behind the house and the nearby intercoastal. We biked the Cape Haze neighborhood often, around the local golf course, plus the nearby bike trail. The house in conveniently located for these activities. The house was fresh, clean, and well-equipped.

We loved our Placida home! We had great hosts and pool.
Wow! This was a great house for our vacation. It’s in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. The house was very clean as well as the pool and the yard was large and well kept. The furniture was so comfortable especially the bed. The hosts are very responsive and they have provided everything we could have possibly needed. Thank you Mary and David for such a wonderful stay, we would love to stay here again!
The house was renovated not so long ago and was modern and lovingly furnished. It convinced with its very complete equipment, nothing was missing what we needed for daily use. The visitors guide was very helpful.
For the beach stay many things were available for all ages. We appreciated that the bicycles were all in working order and bicycle helmets were available. We had several different experiences with this.
The location of the house to the beaches and shopping is very good, Publix and the post office were just around the corner.
Only as a suggestion for the friendly hosts: we would have been happy about sun loungers at the pool. The flooring in the house was renewed during the renovation. Perhaps this could be done for the bedrooms as well.
We absolutely can recommend this house for other visitors!
