Lively stay, beautiful house.
Very comfortable and majestic house. Tall ceilings. Kitchen fully equipped. Clean. Very roomy spaces, comfortable beds. Enormous and beautiful pool and spa. Nice view of a great tree and lots of green. A separate and complete one bedroom house. This is a golfing club, the club was closed because of the pandemic. The course looked amazing. Very friendly neighbors and neighborhood. The mall is 5 minutes away. The beach is maybe 20-25 minutes away. SRQ Airport is 15 mins away. We had a lovely stay

One of Kind property in a beautiful community
If you are looking for a one of a kind gem of a property look no further ! This place has it all: spectacular pool area , incredible hot tub, multiple appointed bedrooms and even a Guest house. Pool toys, beach accessories, bikes and even a ping pong table are at your disposal. Although we had no issues , Lana and David were available, and most helpful, should we have any questions. I have rented numerous properties in this area over the last 20 years and this property outshines them all!
