The house was exactly as described. The kitchen was well stocked, plenty of linens and the location was perfect. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. The back porch was the favorite for sure. We would stay again if we come down here again.

The home is exactly as pictured. I loved the layout with the kids on one side and the master bedroom on the other. The kitchen was nice and big for cooking with lots of storage space. We spent so much time on the lanai and by the pool. It was very private and pretty. The house was in a convenient location by Anna Maria Island.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear the home layout worked so well for your family and that you enjoyed the spacious kitchen and relaxing lanai area. It’s great to know the pool and privacy made your stay even more special. We’re also glad the location near Anna Maria Island was convenient for you, it’s such a beautiful spot! We’d love to host you again anytime you're in the area.
Property is beautifully decorated and comfortable.
Pool surrounded by multiple palm trees is perfect for relaxation and spending quality time with family and friends. Patio furniture is comfortable and is in the shade. Only negatives are the 2 guest bedrooms are much hotter than the rest of the house so we had to buy fans because even the ceiling fans in those bedrooms weren't sufficient to cool them off.
Master bathroom could use a makeup mirror.
Other than those things i would definitely recommend this house and stay there again.
