This was our second time staying here, and everything about the property was perfect, just like last time! We almost never stay at the same property twice because we like to see different areas, but this one is a gem!
5.0 / 5.0
We had an amazing time here. The neighborhood was great and close to lots of things to do. We practically lived on the lanai our whole stay. It offered a shady place to hang out without getting too much sun. We would definitely stay again!
5.0 / 5.0
The house is perfectly situated for quick access with our boat to lots of great fishing. The pool is so nice for cooling off after a day on the water fishing. The house is beautiful with plenty of room for my family of 4. There is so much to do in the area as well. There are trails with boardwalks just a few minutes from the house. Restaurants and shopping are a short drive away as well. It is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation!

Such a great home. Better than the pics. The privacy of the home is wonderful. We enjoyed the salty water so much- fishing, kayaking, bike riding, beach walks, relaxing on the giant dock… beds are comfy, tons of room. One of my favorite places we have stayed!

the property was very nice, cozy house, well equipped, nice kayaks. The fishing was pretty good, nice to be able to kayak around the canals, as well as enjoy the nice neighborhood. The area is very pretty, the restaurant nice as well, it's really a nice outing We just got caught by surprised by the "Sun" heated pool, which turned out to not be heated at all in winter. Be beyond that the host was very nice and helpful and we do recommend the place.
5.0 / 5.0
The home is just as pictured. My teens enjoyed having all the space in the house and their own rooms. The lanai was a great place for dinner. And although the weather was far too cold to swim, we enjoyed fishing from the dock and other places nearby. The teens really enjoyed exploring the park on the island as well! And it’s a short and easy drive to town for supplies. Our dog also loved the space and we appreciated the fenced yard and dog friendly home! Lisa is a very responsive host.

The location is great . The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking equipment for a great thanksgiving meal. The pool , patio, dock and parking is perfect. It is also as clean as you would keep your own home. A perfect 5 stars absolutely nothing to complain about. Will definitely be renting again

5.0 / 5.0
We stayed here for our daughter's 2nd birthday vacation. We wanted a canal in case we decided to bring our boat, a pool for our daughter to swim every day, near the beach, and close to attractions in Sarasota and St. Pete / Clearwater. I couldn't believe we found such an ideal location at a great price point! And it's in a great neighborhood, nice and quiet! And Emerson Point Preserve down the street is really awesome.
Staying somewhere clean is vitally important to us, and this property is immaculately clean, spotless inside and out. Towels, beds, pillows, kitchen, pool, bathrooms, everything.
The screened in pool area is fantastic. The back door locks securely so we didn't have to worry about our daughter wandering out and falling in. Then once in the pool, we didn't have to worry about her jumping out and running to the canal and falling in. Not to mention keeping biting insects out, which can be really bad this time of year.
They also provide kayaks, bicycles, fishing gear, and pool towels.
There's a spring in one of the canals nearby where you can see manatees drinking, and there were usually manatees in the canal behind the house.
We wouldn't hesitate to book this property again for future tips!

My husband and I stayed 5 nights over the Memorial weekend, my in-laws joined us for part of the time. The home is beautiful and there were so many ammenities provided. The pool and dock area are a great place to hang out. We used the grill and ate outside every evening. We biked, boated, and fished to our hearts content. The home and hosts have everything provided to help you feel welcome and relaxed. It was one of our favorite VRBO's and we will be back for sure!

Beautiful house with lots of open space. Right on the water with good fishing on dock! Loved it!
5.0 / 5.0
I totally recommend this little piece of paradise on Snead Island. It is a nice quiet community on a canal that has plenty of fish that you can catch right off the dock. This home supplied everything from fishing poles, pool toys to games, puzzles and a fully stocked kitchen. I normally take an essentials tote with extra detergent, hand soap, salt pepper, kitchen utensils….and I did but I didn’t have too because it was all there and more. There is one downfall and that is not the owners fault but be prepared for the no seeums….it doesn’t help that I am allergic to them. I will definitely revisit! Thank you so much!

Awesome place and great location !
This rental was perfect for my son and I! We rented a boat for the week along with the house kept the boat at the house. Easy navigation through the area, friendly local bait shops and plenty of things to do in the area. Overall we had a blast, we will definitely book this rental again. We have stayed in many rentals in the surrounding areas and this is by far the best location we have stayed at. The house and pool are nice and clean !

Great all-around place to stay!
The house is super cute and the perfect size. At times, when our Floridian adult kids joined us, there was plenty of space for all eight if us. The pool is great with nice sitting areas around it. Our kids brought paddle boards and we used the Kayaks provided. Unique areas to explore by water. Dock and outdoor area on the water was very nice and made water accessibility easy. Forty five minutes from the Tampa Airport and is an easy drive from airport. We explored St. Pete's and nearby beaches. Publix is in Palmetto and we ordered groceries online and they were delivered to our door for free. We loved this place. Our adult children loved it as well. We plan to visit annually, and I expect to rebook this place again! There's something to be said about a place that is homey and comfortable. We had a health hiccup, and had to check out early. The hosts were very accommodating and very helpful. Booking was easy. They also allow dogs and have a cute, fenced yard. Our Grandpets didn't want to leave.

Relaxing Getaway By The Gulf
Our stay at the Palmetto House could not have been more enjoyable. The location, amenities, and overall condition of the property is top notch. We were able to use the fabulous boat lift and dock from which we explored the Manatee River, Egmont Key, and the ICW. Bradenton Beach , one of the best beaches in Florida, is only 30 minutes away. The owners are very responsive. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Wonderful stay.
Our family with 2 dogs stayed at the Pompano house during our FL vacation. The house is exactly as pictured and offers everything you'll need while there. The location for us was perfect for all our go to destinations. We spent our days venturing out and our evenings at the house. The house is very cozy and the pool was perfect after a day out. We highly recommend the Pompano house and would definitely book again.

Beautiful home
Only issues we had where: 1. A/C didn't flow well to master bedroom. 2. Pool wasn't heated 3. Drainage was very bad after the rain (couldn't flush toilets and showers backed up) Everything else was awesome! Pictures don't do this place justice.

Peaceful surroundings
We rented this property with our adult kids and had a great time. The house was very clean and comfortable. The pool and lanai were very nice. And the pier was great, too. The kids had planned to go kayaking but never got around to it because they were too busy soaking in the pool. Short drive to great restaurants and waterfront.
