We had the best time this week! Our sweet hosts were the best! So attentive and kind! They really have thought of everything here. The property is lovely—just as described and expected. Our daughter loved the pool in the lanai and our pups loved the yard, especially the back next to the canal. Bird watching has become one of their new fav things. The blue herons are so cool and we were able to catch sight of the manatee family living in the canal behind us! They are so cute. I cannot recommend this property highly enough! If you want to be close to multiple beaches (we went to N Lido &Holmes) and feel like you are in your home away from home with family who cares about your stay and your comfort, this is the place to be! If we return to Bradenton, which we probably will, this will for sure be the place for us! Love it!

The pictures don't do this property justice. It's sparkling clean, secure, quiet, smells good, and is SO comfortable. Tons of places to sit and relax, literally everything you could need is in this home. I wanted to steal the king size mattress in one of the bedrooms, that's how comfy it was. Easy check-in and the sweetest homeowners who responded to messages super quickly. It was too hot to do much outside while we were there, so the pool was a wonderful treat. We were able to see a group of manatee from the kitchen window, and there are lots of birds in the area. Quiet neighbors, too. Not too far from Longboat Key for beach trips and fishing - about 20 minutes with rush hour traffic. Close to lots of shopping, and fun activities in Sarasota. Highly recommend this property.

Lovely home with water/cove views and a pool for relaxing. Quiet neighborhood. Super easy to check in and out, and the owners were very attentive. The house was just what I needed, as it was close to where my Dad was transitioning to hospice, and the home offered wonderful respite. Thank you!

We had such a wonderful stay at this Florida condo! The home was beautiful, very clean, and extremely well kept. It truly felt like a relaxing home away from home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals.The amenities were amazing for families. The owners provided bicycles, beach chairs, sand toys, and a wagon for beach days, which made everything so much easier. Our kids absolutely loved fishing off the dock and caught a variety of fish throughout the week. We also enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle boards that were available at the house.The location was perfect and only 20 minutes from several beautiful beaches and only about 8 minutes from the airport, which made traveling so convenient. The owner was incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful throughout our stay.We truly loved our time here and would absolutely stay again!

THE BEST PLACE IN BRADENTON/SARASOTA

This place was amazing, it had everything you needed for a perfect stay. We had stayed in 4-5 other homes in the area and this was by far the best. Our hostess was amazing and bent over backwards to make sure everything was right for us….we will be back!
