No disappointment here. Spacious and tons of character.

This is a most amazing home. I would love to stay there again. I would recommend it to anyone from a family with young children to a group of adults or couples. Close to everything. Fully equipped. You will want for nothing. Loved this house!!!!

Our family of 7 - husband/wife, son and daughter/son-in-law and two small grandchildren - absolutely loved our stay at The Beautiful House in February. The pictures are beautiful but the house is way better than the pictures can show. The thoughtfulness of Ali (& team) was amazing - they truly went above and beyond. The great communication prior to and during our stay, the beautiful fresh flowers on the dining room table, the baby gates in place to accommodate our 3 year old and 15 month old grandchildren, and the fully stocked kitchen make this home the best we have stayed at (and we have stayed at several). There are several sitting areas in the home - our favorites were the comfy sitting room right off the kitchen, overlooking the pool, and the screened porch where we enjoyed each meal at “home” with the ambient sound of the pool fountain. We enjoyed walks along the riverwalk and to Jeremiah’s for treats (a must). The backyard shed contained SO MANY pool and beach toys - thank you! The separate guest quarters provided a quiet spot away from the children for those who needed to fit in some work time.The laundry facilities - not one washer and dryer set, but THREE! And the pool - the water temperature was perfect for cooling down after a day of activity AND playing in the cooler morning air. Book this beautiful home when you come to this area of Florida - you will not be disappointed! Ali, thank you!

Very well equipped for a 3 generation family vacation.

After my MIL’s passing, our family found ourselves in need of a home in Bradenton for the first time. Coming “home“ without a house to congregate in would be difficult for my family. This home was nearby, with a view of the river, and provided a great space to connect, remember her and celebrate her life. Everything was graciously appointed, allowing us to just buy groceries. The outdoor guest suite provided an additional space for us to host out-of-town guests, and plenty of space to spend time with family. Well, not something we were necessarily looking for, the pool was great and provided a much needed release activity for our kids too. We will definitely stay here again on any return trips to Bradenton!

Loved the pool and big backyard it was perfect for our family and dogs! Close to the beach and a large house. Very grateful for our stay

Perfect place for a family gathering. Well appointed with everything you could possibly need.

This is the rare VRBO house that looks even better in person than in the on-line photos. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of space. The kitchen was well appointed and the heated pool was a plus! We took long walks along the river. They have a shed full of beach chairs and beach toys, coolers, pool floats, and even a fire pit. The host was easy to work with and very accommodating.

House was clean and welcoming. Ali even went the extra mile and left roses on the table for us (anniversary trip/ vow renewal). She has everything you could possibly need & then some! Dinner was even better sitting out on the screened porch. We loved playing the board games nightly after swimming in the pool for hrs. Her pool is small but luxurious with the waterfall, lights, and super swim jet not to mention it's heated. We were thankful she allowed us to bring our dog who enjoyed running free (it's large and fenced). She had everything for the beach too. We made s'mores on her firepit. She kept in touch but wasn't overbearing or annoying. It was pricey but you get what you pay for & the area in general is that way. We made awesome memories! None of us wanted to leave. Epic vacay!

The Beautiful House lives up to its name. The property is gorgeous and well appointed. I had read previous reviews indicating that the host had thought of everything, and believe me, that is an understatement. She has thought of everything and then some. The location is perfect, a fantastic home base from which to explore the gulf coast. We will long cherish the memories made here.

We loved our stay at ‘Beautiful House’-everyone had plenty of room, Ali has it beyond well stocked, and the fenced in yard and pool are perfect for small children. Ali was so gracious and kind. We loved being central to so many different gulf beaches and will definitely stay again. If you’re looking for a spacious home with an amazing kitchen to cook together in, multiple washers/dryers for convenience, and family friendly book it now! The weather was amazing and all beaches calm & easily enjoyed. Thanks for one of the best vacations we have had yet!

The Beautiful House is amazing. We were able to get our sons and their families on a vacation here in Florida together. 7 adults and 4 children. We had plenty of space inside and outside. There truly is everything you would want at the house. The beach is close and easy to get to. The grandchildren loved Jeremiah's Italian Ice just down the street. We had an Unforgettable time. The house was perfect. Ali is so attentive and made the transaction so simple. We are already looking forward to our next stay.

Nine people ages 1 to 70 had a great time at this home! There is plenty of space and the homeowner goes above and beyond to make your stay effortless and comfortable. We highly recommend this home!

Would definitely book a stay here again. Pool and backyard space was ideal for setting up our cornhole and croquet for family fun! Very nice beach a short drive away. Nice neighborhood for those morning walks. Ali was very attentive and respectful.

The name says it all. Leave everything at home because this is a turn key vacation home. Every imaginable convenience is already there. From the pool floats and towels to the fully stocked kitchen, not a single detail was overlooked. Thanks again Ali and we shall return!

Alison was a wonderful host. She had the house ready for us to move in for our week. She contacted me the week before our stay to check-in. The house was super clean, and we enjoyed the pool and quiet neighborhood. Definitely would recommend this house.

What a fantastic place! The house is gorgeous, the location is wonderful and the facilities are just what is needed for a relaxing vacation. We ranged in ages from 14 to 76 and everyone loved the house, pool and garden. The host communication was fantastic and super helpful! Thank you for a wonderful stay - we didn’t want to leave!

The house was very nice. Good size for extended family. Host communicated well. The back yard and “guest house/office” was a great plus. Allowed for some work from home in TOTAL privacy/quiet while the rest of family could play

Our stay here was perfect. The house is large and spacious and fit 10 adults comfortably! The pool is awesome and the kitchen was great to cook in. Having multiple sets of washers/dryers was great too. House is in a great location - easy to get to the beach and you can easily take morning walks by the river, right down at the end of the street. The shed is full of beach items and so we had everything we needed - plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and a wagon to cart it al to the beach. The host was amazing and answered all of our questions promptly. We would definitely stay here again!

The home owner’s attention to detail was wonderful. She thought of things that we didn’t even know would make our vacation more enjoyable. It was spacious, clean, with plenty of seating. We Would definitely stay here again!

Ali is a phenomenal host. From check-in to check-out our group of 8 was extremely impressed. Everyone loved the heated pool with the power swim jet and waterfalls! The fully equipped kitchen, six bedrooms with TVs in every room and 4.5 bathrooms made us very comfortable. The location was awesome, and the neighbors were friendly. The beach umbrellas and beach chairs came in handy for our visits to Coquina Beach and Bean Point Beach. We're thinking of staying again next year. Thank you, Ali!

The house was spacious and very clean. It was also well stocked with beach gear, towels, and cleaning supplies. The pool was amazing!

Ali was a joy to work with. She was readily available to answer any questions and solve any problem. The home is located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. We’re loved being able to have such lovely surroundings to go for a walk. The home was more than abundantly stocked with everything we could want or need. We cooked for our group of 13 and had need of nothing! Beautiful, high quality pots and pans of every kind, every utensil needed. The shed is full of pool toys, beach toys, umbrellas, wagon. So great!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Highly recommend.

We spent ten days in the house over Christmas and New Years and it was awesome! Everything was as good as it looks in the photos, or better. The table was big enough to host our big family. The private rooms and public spaces met all of our needs. The pool was a sweet bonus, as the weather was cool when we arrived but we could all bask in the pool and carry on 'deep and meaningful' discussions. Alison was awesome and was quick to respond to all queries. If I ever visit this part of Florida again, I would love to stay in The Beautiful House!

Loved the house and location and ease of speaking to hosts. Felt at home and comfortable

Beautiful place very clean quiet and the swimming pool was the absolute hit with young and old

We loved the house! All the amenities you could want. Great location and the pool was amazing! The fresh flowers were such a nice touch! Plenty of room for the 10 of us!

The house was fantastic, plenty of room for our whole group. They had everything you could want for the beach,chairs and beach toys, with wagons to get it there. All the rooms were so nicely decorated and comfortable. The pool was great and we all spent so much time in there. So many things were available to us in the house which made it so convenient when most were flying to the area. Ali even put baby gates on the steps to keep our little ones safe. Ali was great and responded so quickly to any of our questions. I would definitely stay here again!

Our family loved staying at this beautiful house! It has all of the amenities for family and friends to stay and visit, hang out by the pool and BBQ + formal dining and living room(s). Room to breathe and relax. We'll be back next year!

This was by far the best VRBO home we have stayed in our 8 years of renting VRBO rentals. I can’t praise Alison enough. Everything is as described and better. This home has 5 huge bedrooms and 3.5 spacious bathrooms. Plus a detached 500 sq ft studio for guests. We had an unexpected surprise visit from my Mother and Dad for 2 days of our trip to celebrate my birthday and there was so much space left. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen I’ve been to. TV’s in every room, a plethora of towels, hand towels and wash clothes. So many beach towels, beach wagons, umbrellas, beach toys, noodles, floats and so much more for outdoor use. The pool is amazing. It’s like a huge jacuzzi with the jets. It was also nice not to have to keep up with house keys. There is a shed behind the detached studio that is filled with everything one would want for the beach. Close proximity to the river, bay, and beach. Grocery stores, convenient stores, souvenir stores and shopping 5 minutes down the road. Anna Maria Island is 8 miles down the road and St. Pete Beach, Pass-a-grille beach 20 minutes away. It’s really a great place to stay if your wanting to sightsee the area and other central/southern Florida parts. We even took a day trip to Sanibel Island. There is so much to see. I highly recommend this home especially for families. It’s the perfect place, just so much room. A huge backyard with a swing from a tree as well. A nice screened in porch too. If I could give Alison a million stars I would, she has created a beautiful home for others to enjoy. I also left some of my jewelry and Alison paid and shipped it to me the very day we left! I’m very appreciative of her kindness and generosity. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay for my birthday!

Very nice home with plenty of space for large groups. Home has everything you need for the beach, or pool. Stayed for a week and everything was smooth.

The house was just as described and very beautiful! It was truly the most well stocked vacation rental we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. Everything we needed was provided and it was very clean upon arrival! The large shed was so well equipped with anything and everything you could possibly need for a day at the beach. There was a boat ramp located about 8 miles down the road which was convenient as well. Overall a wonderful home that helped shape our summer '22 vacation into a beautiful one!
