Our family loved our stay! The layout of the house was terrific, and the pool was wonderful! We used the kayaks and the fishing poles, too. There were lots of beach necessities including a cooler, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and towels. Would highly recommend!!

This property surprised us. The photos were great, but the actual property blew us away. Modern amenities. Great pool. The canal. Al fantastic. We kayaked all the way to the bay a couple times and got some great photos. The location is perfect, right in between Siesta key and Anna Maria Island. A big thumbs up on this house. Very comfortable stay.

We (three adults from Germany, including our daughter) rented this vacation home from June 21st to June 27th, 2024, as part of a multi-week trip from Miami Beach, Deerfield Beach, Bradenton/Tampa, Daytona Beach, and ending with a week in Atlanta, GA. This vacation home is beautifully laid out, impeccably clean inside, and excellently maintained! The location by this "small river" with direct access to the sea (if you rent a boat) is also very beautiful. We had a great stay and were completely satisfied. To be honest: at first, the pool water was not properly maintained. After we informed the landlord, they promptly and exemplary took care of it, and by the third day, the pool was in perfect condition. It would be sensible for the landlord to arrange for a reliable, competent, and honest pool service to ensure the pool water meets hygiene standards. However, we had the impression from our communication with the landlord that they were embarrassed and were immediately arranging for a change of service provider. It was obvious that the landlord had been deceived by their service provider. As I said, from the third day everything was perfect. I want to be honest here, which is why I mention it – but due to the quick and clear response of the landlord, I see no downside – we were ultimately 100% satisfied, even thrilled. We would gladly come back anytime with a change of pool service! Thank you for everything, Bonnie and Patrick! Jutta, Lisa, and Hans-Jörg

Very unassuming from the street but the inside, back porch/pool and canal are absolutely mesmerizing! We did get to see the manatees, it was so neat! The host did a great job of upkeep and have stocked the house with everything you could need for a great stay! I wish it was a little closer to the beaches but it is still close enough that it’s not a problem! Great for us as we don’t spend a lot of time at the actual beach… also great central location to all the different places along the Bay Area!

Our family had the most amazing 6 days here!! The house was perfect for all ages, the view was beautiful, and the location was convenient to great restaurants, shopping, and around 20mins to the most beautiful beaches in Florida. We especially enjoyed seeing the manatees, bird watching, and our afternoons spent in the pool. The beds, showers & kitchen were some other great highlights of this great property. Our host were easy to communicate with and we cant wait to return!!

We absolutely loved this place. It had everything we needed and then some. The kids loved the pool and the adults loved the kayaking and fishing. Beds were comfortable and there were lots of towels. We highly recommend booking this property!

Great house was very nice to have a relaxing stay.

Beautiful property but be aware it is A car Drive to beach.
