Hometown Paradise- Canalfront home with dock and heated pool
True Florida Lifestyle 3-bedroom home on canal with a pool. My Hometown Paradise! Doesn't get any better than this with evening sunsets by the pool deck bar overlooking the canal. See the seasonal manatees swimming right up to the dock. Close enough to the beaches, yet the neighborhood is not a through-road so it remains quiet. Three spacious bedrooms and two living spaces for the family (or two) to enjoy. A true boater’s paradise, so bring your boat to tie up to the dock for the week and enjoy Anna Maria Island!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities such as an outdoor pool, or other amenities including an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Didn’t want to leave, booked another night!
Amazing stay! Perfect for all ages as there was a room with bunk beds, and 2 other rooms with king size beds. The pool was our favorite! Will definitely be back for future stays. We live in town but wanted to be closer to the water for my 30th birthday. We were allowed to have a large group of friends over while hosted a hibachi dinner! The house felt like home and we will be back for more staycations!

Family Beach, Fishing, & Football Weekend
This wonderful property is 10 minutes from IMG Academy for a youth football tournament that we were attending and also so close to the beautiful beaches of Holmes Beach and Anna Maria Island to celebrate Mother’s Day weekend. The home was as advertised and the host was fantastic. Great communication and flexibility when we wanted to stay an additional night. Our family enjoyed the pool, kayaks and fishing on the canal, ping pong table, and large TVs. The house was very clean, had a big driveway for multiple vehicles, and was in a quiet neighborhood. There is a lot to do in the area, great restaurants nearby, and a relaxing and fun place to stay! We enjoyed our family weekend. Thank you for the hospitality!
