The hosts were very responsive and nice! I had an amazing time taking the canoes off of the back deck and soaking up the sun by the pool! We will be back when it’s hotter out to enjoy the full experience!

Great vacation location
We had a great time at this house. The private pool was especially nice!! The location as very quiet and we loved all the different birds!
Week long stay…attracted by onsite kayak launch…easy paddle to the bay for fishing. Comfortable accommodations and nice clean pool. We are looking forward to rebooking another trip soon!
It was a quiet area. The pool was very enjoyable. Everything needed is on site such as coffee, dishsoap, laundry detergent, etc. I would stay there again.

Quiet and cozy
Great little place with plenty of stuff to keep the kiddos entertained and close enough to town to not be an inconvenience but far enough to be out of the hustle and bustle.
My wife and I had a wonderful time! Highly recommended!!

Great stay!
This home was perfect for our family. It was nicely decorated, clean and well stocked for our stay. The backyard was my favorite though - the pool and amenities were fantastic. We would definitely return to this property if we are back for soccer!
It is definitely in a quiet neighborhood! We loved the location and took the kayaks out for a bit. For those interested in fishing, the Skyway Pier and just a few minutes drive. And the bed is cumfy!
This was a very well kept property with very responsive owner. Coffee on site! Was a very comfortable place with super comfy beds!
We paddleboarded daily
We did need to use a little bug spray a few days.
I would stay again
Loved the house, location, pool! So quiet heard nothing! Host was amazing! House was clean had everything this location was perfect visited 8 beaches no longer then 1.45 min drive to any of them!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Stay. The pictures are accurate. The location is beautiful. The kayaks were fun to use along with the pool. The owner was awesome!
My wife and I enjoyed a relaxing, quiet and private vacation away. The location was perfect. The pool was great. The kayaks were a nice bonus. The kitchen had enough for us to cook a couple of meals. The bed was comfortable. WiFi was good. The check in process was easy. Overall we had a great stay.

Great Experience
Very much enjoyed our 6-day stay here. The house was very clean and well-equipped. The owners reached out to make sure we had everything we needed. The pool was wonderful and private. We had a lot of fun (and exercise) taking the kayaks out and exploring the mangroves and islands in the area. Highly recommended.

BEST TIME EVER!
This was one of the best stays at any Airbnb I have been to. comfy beds and warm home atmosphere made you feel comfortable and right at home. the back yard and pool was warm and inviting and the kayaking was peaceful and relaxing just what I needed!

We loved our time in Terra Ceia. Our hosts were amazing and responded promptly. The property was perfect. We came for a beach trip but rearranged a day because we loved our house and surroundings. We would love to come back in September. This was a wonderful family vacation! Thank you!!!!
Very quiet neighborhood and well appointed property. It’s close to a convenience store/ gas station. It’s a short drive to Palmetto with grocery stores and restaurants. They had everything that we needed at the house and some treats left as well. Wish we could have been there in warmer weather to take advantage of the pool, canal and kayaks.
The Sailor House was a cute and cozy home that served all of our needs. House was clean and comfy, fully stocked with everthing you need. Great location in a safe neighborhood. Our son loved the pool, even though the water was chilly he was in the pool almost every day. I loved the back yard and just being able to relax in a nice area. Welcoming snacks were a big hit as well. It was nice to be able to drive North to St. Pete's beach which was about 20 miles from the house, or South to Anna Maria Island beaches where we enjoyed some wonderful beach days. Definitely a wonderful place to stay, and if we are back in the area again would not hesitate to book again.
What a treat this little gem is. Twenty minutes from St. Pete’s or Bradenton and an incredibly peaceful place to return to after a busy day out and about. Beautiful peaceful backyard, quiet neighborhood, good place to walk, bike and kayak. Fully stocked with the essentials and the owners greeted us by text within minutes of arriving. While our visit was problem free,
I know the owners would have responded in a timely matter and resolve any issues we might have had. Highly recommend!
