The house is wonderful. The photos can show how it's decorated and what it looks like and they are very accurate but I want to tell future renters about is how amazingly comfortable the beds are, how fluffy the pillows are, how soft the sheets are! I would have stayed in bed forever if I could have. The pool seems smaller in the photos and we were surprised to see how large it really was. There's beach and pool toys available for use and a huge number of house and beach towels. Admittedly this is the first time we have rented a house but it had almost everything we needed. The only things we needed to buy were food, a gallon size pitcher which we left for future renters, and some laundry supplies. The owners provided Tide but we use free and clear for our baby's sensitive skin. Also, when we sent an email letting the owners know about a couple concerns after tropical storm Colin came through, maintenance was over within an hour to correct any issues. The house is in such a great location, only about 10-15 minutes from several beaches (Anna Maria, Holmes, Bradenton, etc..) even with traffic, close to shopping and grocery stores, about an hour from Busch Gardens and 2 hours from Orlando. Straight west on Manatee takes you to a beach and restaurant that is gorgeous and very reasonably priced. If you have time, pay the $1.25 each way and drive across the Sunshine Skyway bridge. Once across go to Fort Desoto. There's a great beach and the old fort is still there to explore. St Pete Beach isn't much farther. As amazing as the house is there are a couple things to think about. The dishes are all glass and ceramic outside of the Tupperware. If you have kids you may want to grab something else if they have a history of dropping dishes. The pool isn't screened but the mosquitoes stayed away with two citronella candles we purchased. Outside of those things, I can't think of anything we'd change. I am 99% sure we're going to Florida again next year and 100% sure we'll be booking this house if we do.
