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.

We were here for a soccer tournament at the IMG. House was 15 minutes from the facilities and had all we needed to relax and regenerate for the next day. Wish we had a longer stay to enjoy some sunshine at the pool! Next time!

Great Proximity

The pictures accurately portray the home! We enjoyed our stay and the proximity to all of the beaches. All communications with the rental company exceeded my expectations. They responded to any issues/questions that we had immediately. We very much enjoyed the fact that the home had great beach chairs and a cooler for us to use. We would definitely stay at this home again!

Girlfriends Beach Getaway

The interior of the home was beautifully decorated. Modern kitchen and appliances. I was disappointed with pool area. Patio furniture was outdated and rusty. Outdoor deck could use a pressure wash. Patio chairs were broken and could only use 2 of them.

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.

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.
