Modern finishes meets Florida lifestyle in this gorgeous 3BR / 2BA Pool Home!
Modern finishes meets laid back Florida lifestyle in this gorgeous 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home located just minutes from Anna Maria Island.
With plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy a movie, there are also sweet little sitting areas for quiet moments with a book and cold glass of lemonade after a long day of soaking up in the Florida sunshine!
The heated pool and screened lanai area boast views of a lovely lake from every angle. Enjoy festive family feasts at the large outdoor dining area or simply close your eyes and let the soft breeze sing you the song of rest and relaxation you deserve while napping in a sun chair.
The master suite has warm floors, soft sheets, a large TV, HUGE bathroom with soaking tub, and your own private entrance and exit to the screen lanai and pool area. Also equip with a TV, the second bedroom has a queen bed and is simply the most comfortable place you will ever rest your head. The third room has two daybeds in the most adorable layout.

We enjoyed our stay. We really appreciated the three bedrooms and all of the beds were very comfortable. The weather was a little cool so the heated pool was amazing. We utilized it almost every day. We enjoyed watching the ducks and other wildlife while swimming. It was very relaxing. We hope to stay here again.

The property is in an excellent location, and all internal fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality.
The owners provide everything anyone could possibly need for a holiday, and we would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending to friends.
We are intending to return in 2024, which is the highest accolade we could possibly provide.

This is our second visit to this area, and this home did not disappoint in any way! Exactly as listed, everything you could possibly need, even to go to the beach!
Beautiful neighbourhood, excellent facilities, we would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I have stayed here in the past and we loved the location and the house itself. So we decided to book again for a week and it did not disappoint. The house is so clean and we love sitting on the deck by the pool. The views from the deck are beautiful. This house is the most well stocked house I’ve ever been to with renting vacay houses. It has everything you’d need to make meals at the house. There are several grocery stores minutes away. Anna Maris island is a 10 minute drive from the house…about a 30 minute bike ride. The house has plenty of bath and beach towels. When we couldn’t figure out how to turn on the one set of lights, we got a response very quickly. Highly recommend!

Fabulous well equipped house. Lots of room to spread out. Loved the proximity to AMI and the beautiful oasis in the backyard watching all the lake wildlife.

The property was well maintained and comfortable with all of the things we needed to enjoy our vacation from kitchen appliances, glasses and plates to pool & beach towels & goodies. A quiet neighborhood with a wonderful view of an Eagles nest and pond with birds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found it to be very relaxing.
5.0
This property worked well for us due to the location. It's about 3 miles from the beach and super close to Anna Maria Island, Sarasota, Bradenton Beach, and Longboat Key. The property is in a neighborhood that's a horseshoe and it's the first house in, so there is road noise but fortunately it's not a heavily traveled road, so it didn't bother us. The house was very clean, looks exactly like the photos, and we really enjoyed viewing the wildlife as previous guests have mentioned. The eagles were there on the "tower" outback as well as ducks, and turtles.
The bed was comfortable and the pool was really nice despite the colder than usual Flordia temps. They do have cable tv, which was nice to curl up at night and watch. Two things to note-this is the first house we have ever rented that did not have any "basics" as I will call it. The property managers do provide a nice bag with extra toilet paper, dish soap, filters for the coffee pot, dishwasher and laundry detergent, a few trash bags, and some other items. There are no tissues, no spices (except for a salt), no cooking spray, no dryer sheets, and no hand soap to wash your hands (there were two small size soap bars but we used them in the shower). It was just strange as we rent many homes through VRBO and have always had at least some of that stuff provided. It was fine, I understand that they certainly do not have to provide that and we decided for the cost of buying all those items only for them to clearly be thrown away, that we would just go out to eat as there are plenty of restaurants around. Another thing to note, which other reviewers have pointed out, is there is a clear issue with the HVAC system. Yes, the rooms on the other side eventually warm up or cool down but my husband is an engineer and said there is obvious duct-work problems as our room would be super hot (we had to use the heat as it was cold for Florida) and the rest of the house would take forever to warm up. I would not want to be staying at on that side of the house when it's super hot and having someone just come in and take the temperature is not going to solve that problem.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. I loved the location for our trip as we drove to Coquina Beach and walked every day, went to Mermaid Pies (which was the best pie I've ever had), and drove all over seeing the sights. Thank you so much for a lovely vacation!

Fantastic property in a great location, not too close to the traffic of the island and not too far away. House was just as advertised and ratings were spot on
5.0
Lovely villa, comfortable furnishings (indoor and outdoor) all the kitchen appliances you could wish for. Great location for the beach and plenty of beach equipment provided. Super quiet neighbourhood
Property management responded quickly to a query and were helpful. As our flight was delayed a welcome pack would have been much appreciated just to tide us over till the next day’s shopping. Also there was absolutely nothing in the kitchen in the way of spices, herbs etc usually we have found an array of these basic stock cupboard items from previous renters (not major in any way but a first for us)
One little downside was the trees overshadowing the south facing pool. Enjoyed our stay very much, thank you

Florida Fun
Stayed in your beautiful home with my family. My kids are 24 and 19. We really enjoyed the pool after visiting the most beautiful beaches. Siesta Key was our favorite. We were surprised how close the beaches were which made it all that much better. Food stores, Starbucks...everything you would need is literally right up the road. The house was very clean and well equipped with cooking supplies, dishware, towels. etc. I would highly recommend this rental if you are wanting to visit Anna Marie Island, LongBoat Key, Siesta Key, Lido Beach.

Peaceful getaway - beautiful location
Wow - What can I say except that the property is perfect for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. The location is convenient for shopping, dining and trips to many of the local beaches. We visited Bean Point on AMI, Manatee, Coquina and Longboat Key beaches and took a drive to Siesta Key to visit Turtle Beach one day as well. Star Fish Seafood is super close. Grab some fresh seafood to cook on the grill by the pool, or eat there on the dock. The house was immaculately clean and had a well stocked kitchen and lots of beach and bath towels. The pool was warm, clean and had a lovely view of wildlife in the lake behind the house. I am ready to book my next trip as soon as I have my dates set! Thanks for hosting us at this beautiful home.

Great family trip and relaxing time. A beautiful home. We even watched Bald Eagles raising 2 babies
If I told you how great it was I wouldn’t be able to get this home again. Everyone else would have it reserved.

Great location to Manatee beach.
We enjoyed our stay going to Manatee beach and driving around the area. The master bedroom on the opposite side from the two other bedrooms was nice. It gave our teens some space. The road noise by the pool was the only drawback.

This house is perfect
We absolutely loved this house it literally is a perfect home and the lanai and pool and the perfect landscaping and pond with two eagles in a nest was so beautiful. The house is perfectly decorated. We hope to get to stay here again someday. If your looking for an amazing home look no further 😍

Beautiful Florida Home
We enjoyed our week. The rental property is just as promised. Very clean! Our children spent a lot of time swimming in the pool. My husband and I enjoyed our morning coffee watching the birds hunting in the pond behind the house. The rental is in a wonderful neighborhood that is great for walking but also very close to beaches and shopping. Would definitely recommend this property.

We were very happy with our stay at this property. The home was as expected given the numerous photos provided in the listing. When home, we spent most of our time on the lanai as there was ample and comfortable seating. This home was a quick drive to the beach and we spent every day there and did not really use the beautiful pool.A nest with a family of eagles behind the house entertained us while we drank our morning coffee, ducks on the pond, and otters were spotted in the pond as well.The property management team was very quick to respond when we had any questions.I highly recommend this property!

Perfect getaway for Anna Maria Island
The perfect place to stay in Florida! Coming from Philly, we were looking for a place to relax and get away from the craziness! We were a 20 minute bike ride from AMI. The pool was our favorite part of this place. We were in it all the time. We also loved eating every meal on the patio. For 5 people, this place had so many extra towels, rags and beach towels! The kitchen had every appliance and more needed for cooking meals for the week. The WiFi was great-some of us had to work a few days “from home” and we all were able to connect to the WiFi and have strong connections everywhere in the house...even outside! We definitely recommend this place to anyone and would love to come back!

Great vacation
We are a family of 4 with two teenagers and this house was perfect for our vacation. It had everything we needed to cook dinners and go to the beach (The beach chairs can use some updating). The beach was a short drive away and beautiful! We also enjoyed the screened in pool and sitting areas! The house is nicely decorated...even better in person then the pics online! This was a last minute vacation to get away from PA and we would definitely rent this house again!

Eagles View
What a surprise! Perched high above cradled in the cell phone tower near the pond in the back yard was an eagle’s nest which contained the eagle parents and three youngster eagles who learned to fly two weeks prior to our stay. The young eagles did not completely move out as we spotted them regularly in the nest. Bring a pair of binoculars for better viewing. This was an extra bonus to our stay. Our accommodations were A plus. The widowed gal across the street agreed to come over and keep my mother(age 83) occupied with good conversation and hospitality. Lots of great restaurants on the main drag with a grocery store 2 minutes away. I loved this place!

Great time - thank you from all of us
Our flight was delayed and we unfortunately did not get there until 11 PM, but the electronic lock made the check-in very easy and the rental company left some lights on for us. The goody bag was a nice touch and we all slept very well, especially that first night. The pool was the perfect size for our three kids and there are plenty of restaurant choices close by.

An Amazing vacation home!!
Paradise Cove was wonderful!! It looks exactly like the pictures. It was clean and very well maintained. This was our first visit to the Bradenton Beach area and we enjoyed every minute! This home is located perfectly close to beaches and shopping. The pond in the backyard had amazing views and great wildlife to watch. The kids favorite was the bald eagles nest that they watched diligently every day. The pool area was perfect for the younger kids. Alex was also great even when having to deal with the kids pool mishap. He was very polite and friendly. Because of this home, Alex, and the nice people in Bradenton, we have found our new beach home! We only stayed 10 days this year but are planning a full 2 weeks for next year! Thanks to Island dreams, Alex, and HomeAway for our very relaxing and wonderful vacation!!❤️❤️
