Impressive! Loved the house and all the amenities, great (quiet) neighborhood just close enough and far away enough from the beaches!

My family and I spent 9 incredible days on vacation. The house is clean and has most of the things necessary for a pleasant vacation. We really enjoyed the pool and the very quiet and safe neighborhood. I recommend it 100%

Location is great being close to the beach. Pool is awesome with a hot tub that gets very warm. Some minor fixes would make the stay a 5 star. Definitely bring bug spray. Being by the water, with bushes all around the property, there is a bunch of mosquitos. Our family had a great time at the stay. The owner needs to fix a couple things to make the stay worth the cost.

Everything was great. From day 1 till day 7. Perfect location for beach days and just far enough to not get bothered by traffic and the busyness of Anna Marie. The pool and hot tub were great for just hanging out and enjoying spending time together.

This was a wonderful place to stay with my family during our spring break. The location was great with proximity to great beaches but also easy to get to other things to do, such as the Riverwalk.

We really enjoyed the house and the fact that we had our own pool. It is a short drive over to Anna Maria Island and we found beach parking each day. Having a full kitchen and a grill on the patio allowed us to make our own fish dinners and save a ton of money compared to eating out each night. We had a great time and will be back!

The house was located in a nice neighborhood and the view of the pond behind was spectacular. We we close enough to the beach but far enough away to avoid the traffic on non beach days. The pool and hot tub were a definite hit. I would stay there again.

We stayed 4 weeks at Lakeview and were very happy with the property. It was clean, great pool area, very close to beaches and good restaurants. We loved watching the 2 bald eagles that have a nest right behind the pool. We recommend it highly and would happily return.

Nice Family Trip
We traveled with our two young children to this house, which was perfect for our vacation. The house had everything we needed, was spacious/comfortable, and had door alarms to promote pool safety. The house is located very close to several great beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hottub (and watching the bald eagles nested on the tower). Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great house and close to Cortez bridge
Our family of four had a great week at this property and enjoyed the pool and hot tub out back, as well as the house as a whole. Property was in good shape and the communication was appreciated from ownership. Location to the beach was even closer than expected, and a short drive from house to the beaches. Recommended!!

Florida Vacation Home
All in all, it was a nice place to stay but we did have a few hiccups along the way. It could have been a little more cleaner, we felt they should have focused a little more on the floors and the corners. The pool water was only at 80 per pool guy but he turned up the heat a little. We had an issue with ants but they took care of it the day after we called. We found a dead roach in the closet :( (at least it was dead). We didn’t have enough washcloths for the six of us so we went out and purchased some. It was nice having beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach towels and all the things you need for a weeks stay.

Perfect rental home for Family of 4
We staid for 1wk and enjoyed the heated pool as well as the nearby golf courses and stores. Beaches are just 10min away as well as Kayaki and SUP rental. House is well equipped, very well maintained and clean. Would stay again any time.

Great time in Heron's Watch
We greatly enjoyed our 2 week stay. Love the pool and spa, along with the view of the pond behind the house! Great place to socially isolate with the fam. Lots of grilling, swimming, and relaxing. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Week
communication with the property owners was very easy and timely. The property was everything we expected and more! One very minor issue and the quick response and communication made it a non issue. The house is only mimutes from Anna Maria and Coquina, making this location perfect for our needs. I will definitely be booking with this owner in the future!

We enjoyed our stay so much in this house!
We stayed in this house for a week and really enjoyed it. It was a very comfortable home for two families. We loved the backyard pool so much, where we spent most of our time there. All the amazing beaches are nearby and plus a number of really fun places and restaurants that we enjoyed and activities for all the family to do, as parasailing ,jet skis and the wonderful beaches.

You can’t do much better than that.
The house is exactly as shown on the pictures, modern style, lots of deco items that make it warm and lovely to live in. The bedrooms are clean with comfortable beds. Plenty of room on the pool deck with a fantastic pool to swim and relax. We were especially grateful for the large quantity of towels and dishes, the spacious fridge and many beach chairs that made the stay on the nearby beach (10 minutes ride) so much more comfortable.
Congratulations and many thanks to the owners and the property manager for providing a perfect house for a wonderful vacation.

We love Florida
We just love Florida and now also fell in love with this house. The view out back is absolutely stunning. Morning coffee by the pool area was always something to look forward to the night before and everything in the home is as pictured. We had a couple of days with a cold spell so made plenty use of the hot tub and the beach is not far away either. The home is equipped with some pool alarms on all doors, which was a great piece of mind with our little one now being able to walk and communication with the property manager was very easy. We can only recommend this home to anybody wanting to visit the area.

Nice place; cold pool.
The property was lovely, nicely decorated, and well located - about 15-20 minutes from Anna Marie Island beach, depending on the raised bridge and traffic.
When we arrived on Saturday, the pool was too cold. We decided to go ahead and pay the extra fee for extra heat and called Monday. The realty company came out and checked the pool Tuesday, Christmas Day. The temperature had not been set correctly and the pool was 78 degrees. The following day the pool remained at 78 degrees, and a pool company came out and fixed it. We enjoyed the heated pool half of the week. We would have called sooner had we known the pool heat was not set properly but we did not know.
While we appreciate the Christmas Eve call and the Christmas Day visit and the pool company visit, we requested a credit for the pool heat challenges.
We would not have rented the home if we were only going to have half a week of pool heat. The credit was denied.

Lakeview Review From Solihull
Villa met all expectations as described although the description of minutes to the beach was dependent and how fast you drive!! It's not in walking distance ! It was very spacious, well equipped, clean, tidy, modern, stylish and very comfortable. On the one occasion we needed assistance, Alex was on hand and extremely helpful and accommodating. Thanks Alex.
Overall a lovely family stay although on the down side it would have been appreciated if localised "Red Tide" environmental issues had been communicated to us in advance of our arrival. This would have allowed us to plan accordingly as there was obviously limited access to unaffected beaches and sea access due to regional guidelines on the news.
Whilst I know its not the owners/management agents responsibility to provide advice, it would have been useful to have some local knowledge prior to arrival. Who best to provide this but the owners representatives! Just a thought for future instances/experiences in the Bradenton area.

Nice vacation with my family
Me, my wife and my children have a very nice time in this house. Pool is very big and the kitchen had many things for cooking at home. Inside was very clean and outside nice and quiet. We want to come back soon. Thank you.

It was nice, but just okay
My family and I just got back from your house and as it was a lovely house there were still some concerns and hassles we had to overcome on our vacation. Here are the pros and cons.
Pros:
Beautiful pool overlooking lake
Alex was responsive and helped during our stay
Our welcome bag was filled with goodies and a nice gesture
Location was 5 minutes from beach
Cons:
Huge eye sore over looking the beautiful pool and lake is a radio tower. Pictures online don't show this
Mosquitoes were horrible and the screen didn't keep them out
Pool cleaner was a hassle to swim around and couldn't be let out
Air didn't cool down in the day. Stayed at 77/78 degrees
Ants in kitchen
Back door wouldn't lock
The neighborhood where the house was located was nice and kept up but leading to the house is a little rough
Check out the local pizza place called Fire and Stone pizza! It's has an amazing buffet!
Hope this review helps people!

House is Beautiful!!
The house was great but in it's located in the wrong neighborhood. They have a noise ordinance at 10 pm and neighbors called on us multiple times and we were asked to go inside. They even made a couple bogus calls and the neighbor next door let Alex (property manager) aware of that. The back patio/swimming area is infested with no see-ums I still have about 30 places on my legs where they bit me. Also wasn't allowed to have garage door up unless we were pulling a vehicle in or out(neighbors reported that also). If this house was in a different neighborhood I would have given it 4 stars( 5 stars if the patio wasn't infested with bugs).

A week of paradise
My family had a wonderful time! The house was beautiful and the view even more amazing. We enjoyed relaxing in the pool on a daily basis. The gas grill was great and definitely a nice amenity. Felt like we were at home. The house was clean and very comfortable. All of the amenities were great and as described. No complaints!

Fabulous
We LOVED Paradise Cove! The house was beautiful and the open concept gave us plenty of room. There were 4 adults and 2 children and we were very comfortable. Anna Maria Island is minutes away and is our favorite place in Florida. We drove to the beach daily and spent hours in our private pool. We found everything we needed stocked in the house. There were plenty of towels, bedding, and kitchen supplies. Just make sure you have bug repellent! The No-see-ums were terrible on the patio and we got multiple bug bites. They are so small the screened lanai doesn't help. We didn't really enjoy the patio as a result. We only went in the pool. Aside from that, we loved this vacation home and would come back again.

A perfect home away from home vacation!
This beautiful Island Dream vacation provided the perfect house for our needs. Every amenity you could think of was there. I love how everything we needed from a cooler, umbrella, beach towels and beach chairs to a clean comfortable house were provided. The kitchen is well stocked and I loved the floor plan of this house. My only suggestion would be to replace the drip coffee maker with a Keurig. But honestly if that is the only criticism, you know it was a fabulous place. The decor and furniture were just beautiful, but comfortable. The pool offered a refreshing respite from the heat. The beach is so close and the street this house is on is lined with beautiful homes. I look forward to staying in this beautiful house again.

Wonderful time had by all!
Home was lovely and very clean. The pictures on line were what you got. Needed to call the agency for assistance and they were helpful and pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy the area.
