The property was immaculately clean and well-maintained, with every amenity we could possibly need. The decor was stylish and modern, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals when we chose to dine in. The bedrooms were very comfortable. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor space and the yard for our dog was perfect. The location was ideal – close to local shops, restaurants, and attractions, yet tucked away in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. The hosts were incredibly responsive and provided us with excellent recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Overall, this VRBO stay exceeded our expectations in every way. We felt right at home and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect getaway! ##### Heather W. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andi W. Jun 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy and thoughtful We were in the process of relocating to FL and needed to stay at a VRBO until we could close on our house. The location was good proximity to the area we moved to so that is initially why we chose to stay here. That being said, I would 100% book here again if I was just on vacation. The property is updated and clean. Beds are super comfortable and the neighborhood is really quiet! Katherine really has thought of everything for her cozy little house! She even provided hair turban towels for those with long hair. It did take us a few days to realize the coffee table has a lift on it so that acts as your dining area when eating meals. The kitchen has everything you need plus more for a VRBO! We got to Anna Maria Island in about 45 minutes with traffic and it was easy to get to. We would definitely book here again if traveling! ##### Andi W. Stayed 8 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane T.
