Beautiful view of manatee river! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets
We have stayed at this property twice. Love the house, front porch all windows, view of manatee river is beautiful. Dolphins in the morning around 10:00 am. We will visit again in the fall.

Could use some TLC definitely not a good property for elderly people
We are elderly, so this property post difficulties for us. The bed in the master bedroom was impossible. The chairs around the large table in the lanai were almost too heavy to move and the outdoor chairs around the fire pit were too low to the ground.The property itself could definitely use some TLC. Also, some additional amenities such as power strips or charging stations,night lights. Some flat surface in the guest bedroom there was nowhere to put your bags or anything else as there were no tables or dressers.The view outside was wonderful, but the landscaping was void or in the front dead.Overall, we gave it a C. Certainly not worth the money spent.

Relaxing Getaway
Interior of house is very spacious and open. Especially like the enclosed patio with huge windows on three sides. Very nice furnishings and wall art. Front yard still has damaged palms from last hurricane, but that's incidental. Definitely recommend this listing.

Lovely outlook being close to the water. The accommodation had everything we needed. Easy to find. A little way from St Pete’s but that suited us.

Great experience
We recently had a weekend soccer tournament in the area and this house was perfect for the trip. We loved the fire pit, the quiet street, and the house was spacious and clean. We were able to visit a couple great beaches that were within easy driving distance. Sunrises and sunsets were amazing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Amazing staycation
Absolute perfection! We live in the area but needed a little more space & wanted a little weekend getaway to celebrate our son’s birthday with family. House had everything we needed but the view was definitely the best part! I could sit & look out at that water all day! Even in August when it was too hot to be outside, sitting on that back porch was perfect! Will definitely be back again!

Just as described
The house was clean. The furniture was nice. The river was amazing and my 13 year old loved fishing the entire time. We stayed for a soccer tournament in Lakeland Ranch. It was an easy drive back and forth. There are local restaurants and a Wal-Mart close by for convenience. The outlet mall was a huge hit. The hosts were responsive when we asked a question. The only thing we couldn't do was get streaming to connect, but they had cable so we just watched it. We would stay here again.

Nice backyard location but a little dated/bare
Backyard is amazing on the water. Kitchen is small and not suited for any cooking/hosting. AC struggles in the master bedroom. It’s a great place to hang with family. But it’s very basic/dated. Need to bring shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc.

Average Property
View from property overlooking river very nice. Owner replaced missing beach chairs and wood for the for the fire pit. We never used because of high winds and consideration of neighbors. Barbecue looked brand new. The comfortable looking chairs shown in the lanai pictures are no longer there. We stayed 5 weeks and considering the amount of money we paid it would have been nice to have seat cushions for both the hard wooden chairs in the lanai and the outdoor metal patio set. We did mention this to the owner. The description states garage under parking but there is no room to park a car the owner uses it for storage. Kitchen has original old cupboards and fridge is missing middle shelf. The house is outdated. Yard could also do with some TLC.

Everything you need + nice views, pet friendly
The home is older but clean, beds comfortable, nice water views and yard for the dogs (not fully fenced) but room to play fetch etc. Has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Location was good for restaurants etc. Host was very thoughtful and checked in first day to be sure we were comfortable
