We loved the house! The pool and lanai were our favorite place to hang. The beds were comfortable. The host was super helpful with our questions and very quick to respond. Thanks for a great stay!
It had everything we needed and even a spare propane tank for the grill!

Thank you for choosing our place for your stay. I truly appreciate how respectful and communicative you were throughout, and I’m glad to have hosted you.

Thank you for taking time to review-we're so happy to hear the home provided a nice place to relax when not at the tournament. We enjoyed hosting you.
We had a great time the house was clean and only 5 to 7 minutes from the beach. The pool and hot tub were fun. We were also glad we could bring our dog.

So glad you enjoyed the location and proximity to the beach! Thanks for the 5-stars!
We had an amazing time! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Everything we needed was provided — from kitchen essentials to cozy linens and thoughtful touches throughout. The location was perfect: quiet and safe.
What a great find! House was freshly remodeled, had all the amenities we needed. The communication from the host was 1st class. If you are looking for a great vacation rental that has it all, close to town, in a nice neighborhood, this is it. Oh, one more thing which is so important to me, they have comfortable beds!!!
We loved our stay here :) overall very clean! Amenities were plentiful in kitchen and for beach. Owner was very communicative. The pool was a little on green side but it was clean and warm .. I think maybe the chlorine was a little low but was still clean enough that our 13 year old took a few late night swims :)

So glad you enjoyed! We enjoyed hosting you! This pool bottom has a green hue to it but we will double check chemical levels just to be sure. Hope to host you again.

10/10 Stay in Updated Home!
We would absolutely recommend this home for a beach vacation! As soon as we walked in, we could tell it has been recently updated. It was clean, well kept, and had plenty of space to accommodate our group as well as everything we needed. It was a great location and just a short drive to Anna Maria Island. The weather was a bit too cold outside to swim but was relaxing to sit by the pool. We will definitely be back and can’t recommend enough!
