Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Our anniversary The property was very clean and comfortable. Our only issue was that we paid ahead of time for the pool to be heated, We arrived on Saturday and left on Sunday. We arrived at 6 pm and the pool wasn't heated. We contacted staff and they sent someone out the next morning. All in all it was a great stay. Our only issue was that we wanted the pool heated as soon as we arrived and we didn't have that luxury. ##### Diane M. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy B. Mar 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for long stay. We went to Florida for the month of February and the home was perfect for the long stay and for having our adult children visit. As others have said, the home is as described but the kitchen was nicer in person. The pool and pool area was a big hit. Being that is was February, we heated the pool which was necessary to fully enjoy it. The location was excellent and made it easy to get to places without having to take the very crowded Manatee or Cortez roads too often. We went to several beaches on Anna Maria Island which were very easy to get to. I would highly recommend this property. ##### Kathy B. Stayed 28 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jim R. Mar 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Nice house in quiet neighborhood, good location! The sun room worked quite well, as several of us needed a place to sit with our laptops to work periodically. I would suggest offering to heat the pool for your guests, as many rentals do as part of the deal. Also, having sheets that fit the bed in the master would be a good idea. Finally, while I understand not guaranteeing occupancy until 4pm, renters need to realize that people will arrive at various times, and asking just to store our luggage in the garage so we can have room to pick up others at the airport is not an unreasonable request. Overall though, the house was nice and worked out quite well. I would recommend it to others. ##### Jim R. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa A. Jan 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location to beaches! This was a Christmas getaway to visit family. We wanted to be close to to Anna Maria Island and beaches with a friendly price point. The location was perfect you could easily drive to the beaches in 10 minutes. The house was very very clean with a beautiful kitchen and very well stocked. The master bedroom was large with a comfortable king bed. The 3rd bedroom with 2 twin beds was extremely small and the twin beds were not very comfortable for my 14 year old or sister in law. My suggestion if renting this home 3rd bedroom needs to be used for small children. There is a pull out king in the sunroom we would have used however the mattress needs to be replaced. Overall we had an excellent stay, we would highly recommend this property. The pool is great, wish the weather would have been a little warmer but we still had a great time. The property management is very attentive to details and requests. ##### Lisa A. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allie O.

Beautiful, roomy, clean, and just amazing. The entire family enjoyed it. The game room was just perfect for the kids and to keep them busy. Beautiful clean pool. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because there was a pool vacuum in the pool 24/7 and became somewhat annoying and in the way of enjoying the pool. Could not swim across the pool as the vaccum hose would go across the pool. If it wasn’t for that, this house would be “PERFECT” ##### Dawn M.
