We loved spending time in the kitchen and sourcing fresh ingredients from Detwiler’s Farm Market—it’s a must-visit for seafood and baked goods. The pool and hot tub were highlights of our stay, offering serene views of the Manatee River and a chance to watch a movie together from the pool on the outdoor TV. We even spotted dolphins several times just off the back dock. The property’s remote location adds to its charm—it’s peaceful and quiet, yet conveniently close to multiple airports (just 30-45 minutes away). If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with all the comforts of home, this is the perfect spot. Jackie and Bob are exceptional hosts, and their property is a true gem! ##### Tom and Elizabeth R.

From relaxing to fishing off the pier to swimming in the pool, our family enjoyed every moment! If you are a fisherman, we caught sting ray, shark, snapper, catfish, lady fish, and a few other species! Dolphin almost everyday! Highly recommend for family fun!!

So quiet and away from the busy city.. But not so remote that you cant get to a grocery store or restaurants within 10 minutes. The house has pretty much everything you need. We stayed during the first week of December and the home was decorated for Christmas, even down to the dishes and cups. The temps dipped into the low/mid 70s and the heated pool/hot tub was perfect. Beautiful home. We look forward to going back. ##### Bel H.

It was an absolutely fantastic place to get together with my family. Some of the most beautiful Blue Crabs I have ever seen caught right off the dock. 5 stars all the way. Only on drawback to anything was the grill but we figured that out too. The holders to the flavor bars have rusted out and are gone so the bars sit on the flame keeping the grill from getting hot, made a small adjustment making the flavor bars slightly caddie corner to keep them above the flame, and boom hot grill and easy cooking!! ##### Brent G.

The beds were very comfy and cozy. The views were amazing. The pool was super enjoyable for everyone. We had my cousins over several times during our stay and they were also amazed by this vacation home. Jackie and Bob were really friendly, easy to get a hold of and were there to meet us upon arrival to show us around and show us how some things worked including the induction stove top. Not a lot of places to eat that were really close buy there was a few not that far away including the Lazy Gator which is a must if you stay at this home. Overall we had a great time at this home and will definitely be back. ##### Amber W.

Water, wildlife,super clean and extremely well equipped, this property exceeded our expectations. I like to say we've been spoiled by each of our VRBO hosts, but Jackie and Bob take it to another level. They literally had a tech out hours before our check in to ensure that everything was up to their standards. We focused on health and wellness for our anniversary and could not have chosen a better place to celebrate. Truly a hidden gem. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aimee c., Albuquerque, nm Aug 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful location!! Our family stayed for a week and had a fabulous time. The property was beautiful! The photos do not do the interior or exterior justice, it was amazing! The owners were super nice and showed us how to use everything. This isn’t a typical bare bones vacation rental, it was a home. Really nice kitchen appliances and more than enough pots and pans to cook anything we wanted to make! Jackie was kind enough to bring over an instant pot when I asked if she had one. The kids enjoyed the pool and we kayaked and paddle boarded in the river. We caught blue crab off the dock and several catfish. There was a good selection of fishing poles at the home. The beds were really comfortable and the two zoned air conditioner kept us nice and cool. The property felt safe and it is a very quiet neighborhood. The backyard porch had fans and was comfortable even on super hot days. The furniture outside was very comfortable and having the large TV outside was really great as well. There was a nice outlet mall about 20ish minutes away. We hit up the flea market (only open on Sundays) and had some delicious food from food trucks there and got some fresh produce. We would love to come back and highly recommend this lovely home! ##### Aimee c.

It’s hard to know where to start. We spent a month with friends at Bob and Jackie's riverside home. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked with every imaginable appliance with plenty of cookware and supplies. The heated pool and hot tub were an exquisite treat every day, the peaceful setting on the river was relaxing, and everything is there for a fabulous vacation at home away from home. Did I mention regular dolphin sightings from the living room and lanai? Or, seeing sunrise colors across the sky while working at the desk in the master bedroom? To top it off, communication with Bob and Jackie was seamless – they were always available to help with information on area activities and questions about the numerous amenities their home offers. Throughout the month, several friends visited for long weekends, and we created countless memories cooking out by the pool, watching movies, and playing board games at the large dining room table. Of note is a nearby private community (Riverside) with a golf club and restaurant - both available to the public. There are pickleball courts at Apollo Beach (about 20 minutes away) and a fitness center within about 20 minutes (WORX) that we joined for the month. We recommend Bob and Jackie’s home for family reunions, groups of friends, sibling trips, etc. ##### Barbara A. Stayed 28 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Clay S.
