🐾 We love dogs. In fact, we named our villa after Tessa, our late beloved Italian Greyhound. So, if you happen to bring your best friend with you, you’ll love knowing the newly built Bradenton Veterinary Emergency is on our street (just 10 houses away). We hope you never have to go there, but a vet nearby ensures you have peace of mind during your stay.
