Property was as pictured: roomy, clean; beds very comfortable; bathroom shower great. We’ve previously rented homes with private pools in Longboat but the pool at this house was the best by far. We had warmer than usual weather while we were there so the solar heating really made the pool enjoyable every day. There were plenty of dishes; glassware and various utensils, including a zester and chopsticks. The house is well equipped with beach chairs, umbrella, pool floats and a beach cart. While we didn’t use them, there also were bikes and some fishing gear as well. The garage was clean and organized. We had no problem parking 2 cars (a van and a SUV) in the driveway. Alise was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions I had. She checked in with us halfway thru our stay just to make sure all was good. On several days, a blue heron visited us at the dock and by the pool and hung out with us for quite a while. The location of the house was perfect and within walking distance to Harry’s Deli and restaurant; Lazy Lobster; Joan Durante Park and our favorite pizza place, Solorzanos. We definitely would consider renting here again in the future.

wonderful location

We stayed in Alise's home for a full month and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. House is located on a lovely, quiet street.The kitchen was well-stocked with pots and pans, serving dishes, wine glasses, etc... so we cooked in most of the time due to the scheduled of our 9 month and 3 year old grandchildren. The house was spacious, with a large garage, a beach wagon (definitely came in handy), loads of beach toys and even fishing rods and a tackle box. My son and I caught several fish from the dock (backyard) on the canal. It was so very pleasant sitting on the dock in the early evening since there was always a pleasant breeze. There were plenty of bath towels, sheets and beach towels on hand. The pool was solar heated so it took a little time to warm up due to a cold spell. When it was warm enough to swim in it was a "gift" to have! The best part of the visit was the close location to the beach; an easy walk across one narrow road. If you do wish to eat out there is a wonderful selection of restaurants close to Alise's home. Alise was always available whenever we had a question. Overall, no complaints about the house or the location.

Nice canal home with short beach access
Nice canal home with short beach access
This is a nice home on a canal with a short walk to the beach. Unfortunately while we were there we had Red Tide in the area, but by having our boat right outside our door, we were able to hop right in and find clear water for swimming in the ICW. This was our second time at this same home as it checked all the right boxes for us (canal, beach, private pool). It is well equipped with kitchen supplies and beach supplies. The owner is great at communicating.
