The kitchen is a complete and full kitchen with all stainless-steel appliances, granite counter tops, and a large kitchen island. The house is also equipped with a brand-new washer and dryer. The large windows give you a spectacular view of the ocean from the kitchen, dining and living room. Three sliding glass doors lead out to the spacious deck equipped with a table, chairs and a gas grill to enjoy ocean front meals or a glass of wine at sunset.

We spent most of the week enjoying the excellent location and we barely left the property other than to swim and go for walks on the beach. When we needed to go to a store or out for take-out, we appreciated the easy walk to a variety of shops. A new, authentic French creperie has recently opened nearby, and it’s a nice breakfast or lunch option a short walk from the house. Thank you for a wonderful vacation, David! We especially appreciated the bottle of wine that was waiting for us upon arrival. ##### Neile K. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roy G.

A couple of minor issues were handled very quickly by Dave. We are an older couple so the stairs up to the main living area & stairs again up to the master gave us a bit of a workout. We felt the mast king bed is due for a new mattress/box spring. We loved the furnishings, the very short walk to the beach right behind the house and it's proximity to restaurants & entertainment. We would stay here again if we return. ##### Roy G. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liane E.

With its glorious ocean views & peaceful sounds of the crashing waves, especially at night, you will find yourself feeling stress free and tranquil in no time. It is hands down the cleanest and most organized place I have ever rented (and I am a clean, organize and sanitize queen (lol) and I was impressed and very pleased upon arrival. It comes equipped with mostly all of your needs and if there is something you do need it’s location is prime and within walking distance of a few places you can get what you need in no time. (As well as in walking distance to one of the best breakfasts on the island….(I highly recommend La Creperie). David is a wonderful host who was very kind, attentive, informative and quick to respond to any questions I had. All of these reasons and more are the reason it’s our second year renting this place and why we will be back again next year. Thank you again David! :) ##### Amy T.

Jul 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beyond Expectations We rented the property based off previous reviews. Let me tell you, this property doesn’t disappoint! It’s BETTER than described. My husband and two kids (12 & 16) were thrilled when we first walked into the home. It’s beautiful. The decor is up to date and tasteful. The appliances, furniture, kitchen and home accessories are all in great working order and are all fairly new. A few things stood out for us. First, David the homeowner didn’t miss a thing!! He was very responsive and checked on us upon arrival and again when leaving. I’ve rented several beach homes and this one, by far, had everything you could possibly need and then some. The home included wood for your first use of the firepit and marshmallow sticks. Next to the grill was an extra propane tank in case it was needed. Some essential spices and kitchen things were in the home from left over guests and the must have items for the beach are down in the garage. It’s the small things for me that stood out. Maybe bring a wagon to haul everything down to the beach but by no means is it a must. You can walk back to the house in 20 seconds. The beds were very comfortable as well as the linens. Washer, dryer, dishwasher, stove, grill, all super easy to use. The sunsets were the star attraction each night. Beach goers would trade in their daytime beach gear for long evening walks with loved ones to witness the show. The distance to the beach is AMAZING! It’s a shorter distance than you can imagine. We would lay in bed at night and watch the lightening storms out at sea pass by and light up the sky. The master bathroom shower was awesome and fun. The teens thought the shower was super cool and we found them using our bathroom more often than we liked. We rented a golf cart for fun. If you want one, reserve early when you book the house but it’s not needed. Everything is within walking distance. Lots to do in the area. We rented jet skis one afternoon and had a blast! Went off the island one afternoon to watch a movie. Overall, we had an amazing trip and will absolutely be back and we’ve told others. We drove 18 hours each way and it was worth every mile. Like others, we talked about how to move to the island and get a home like this one. Ha! This was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable trips we’ve had. The property was spectacular and didn’t disappoint at all. Do yourself a favor and book this property for your next summer escape. Thanks, David!! ##### maurita m.

May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dreamy Beachfront Vacation We recently stayed for spring break with our two boys, 8 & 11, and the place was perfectly for our whole family. The house is beautiful, and the layout worked well, with the boys each having their own room on the main living room level. The primary suite on the top floor had incredible views and we enjoyed the sound of crashing waves lulling us to sleep every night. It is also the perfect place for watching sunsets at night. The house had a number of beach chairs (6?) and an umbrella in good working order to use out on the beach right in front of the house. The house is also stocked with lots of sand toys, a couple of balls, and a boogie board in the garage tote, but no coolers, not really essential anyway since the house is right on the beach. There were also plenty of books and games/cards at the house. The kitchen was well stocked w pots/pans/keurig/coffee pot. Note: I might bring an insulated wine cup if I came again since they only had glass. The house is located right in holmes beach south of manatee beach, which made it easily accessible from the mainland / airport / etc and also very close to Publix and a strip mall w a Walgreens, dunkin and a few cute restaurants. (We had breakfast at the toasted mango cafe and recommend for breakfast.) We walked down to the public beach a few afternoons and the kids got ice cream, and often there was live music later afternoons. We loved this place and hope to come back again soon! Next time I’m renting a golf cart! ##### morgan o. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara M.

Steps to the beach which was never over crowded. The house had everything we needed, was comfortable and had plenty of space for 5 of us. David was responsive and helpful. We enjoyed every minute of our trip and can’t wait to visit again! ##### Sara M. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa F.

We woke up and had coffee on the deck overlooking the water. Location was perfect for restaurants, grocery stores. Fully stocked kitchen, new grill, and the best was the magnificent sun sets every night. We even got to see dolphins playing. Clean, spacious ##### Lisa F.
