Other than that, best stocked kitchen of all the places we have stayed the last 10 years. Communication with owner fabulous - a 20. Only drawback is the pickleball court is not regulation, more like a small practice court so we went to Walton which is 7 minutes away. Close to IMG, First Watch, etc. ##### Jill E.

Slightly smaller than a regulation court, but still so much fun. Jenny and Kenny were some of the best communicators I've ever experienced with a VRBO. The house was perfect for our size group. It was updated beautifully with all the necessary extras included. We had everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. We paid extra to have the pool heated and it was a great decision. Glad they let us know that was a possibility. There was a beach cart, beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella and cooler bags in the garage we could use. What an awesome extra! The light switches were labeled which was a time saver because there were lots! We went to Lido Beach (south end is quieter) and it was about a 25-30 minute drive, but easy to navigate to. The neighborhood was quiet. I can't think of anything negative to say. It was perfect and I would highly recommend! ##### Brenda C. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tresa L.

The level of cleanliness was beyond- the shower grout was sparking white! The amenities were exactly as described and everyone was able to enjoy cappuccinos every morning. The pool was kept so clean- the maintenance man was there twice during our short stay. On our last full day of the trip, we actually stayed in the house and spent the day in the pool. The kids had a blast. The beds were honestly more comfortable than the ones I have at home. We had plenty of space for everyone to enjoy and gather without feeling like we were on top of each other.

Swimming pool was very nice, pool service providing care twice a week. Location was great. 20 minute drive to many great beaches & restaurants in Bradenton and Sarasota. Would stay here again. ##### Chris E. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LARRY G.

From the time we booked through our departure from the house it was a great experience. Jenny responded within minutes to any questions we had during the entire process. When we entered the house, it was very clean and welcoming, a dozen white roses were in a vase on the island for us - such a nice touch! We really enjoyed the openness of the dining/kitchen/living area and it was a great place to gather. The kitchen had everything we needed to make us feel right at home. The beds were very comfortable. I really liked the way the rooms were arranged, with the master bedroom and bathroom on one wing and 2 of the other king size bedrooms across the house. It certainly gives you privacy if you are traveling with other couples. The outdoor area and the pool were awesome, and we spent quite a bit of time out there. The pool was always warm and it was nice to be able to get in it even when it was a bit cooler outside. We had a few different sets of family and friends visit us during our month stay and everyone loved the house and everything it offered. It's in a great location, close to everything we enjoy doing while in the area. I'm already working with Jenny on dates for a stay next winter :) ##### Colleen C.

The hosts were very responsive and were ready to help within a moment's notice. The neighbors were some of the best people we have ever met! Great location for a trip to Anna Marie Beaches, and all the conveniences that you could possibly need. ##### Bryne L.
