We all had a wonderful stay!!! The home was clean, beautifully furnished and appointed with all sorts of amenities: coffee, tea, beach chairs, towels, laundry detergent and more. The fenced in yard was wonderful for privacy and the dogs. The owners were very responsive to our questions and needs. We would definitely stay here again!!! Not only was the home super cute, it was close to everything: grocery store, pharmacy, downtown, beaches and restaurants.

The host was very accommodating . I accidentally knocked a patio vase over and broke it. She said it was an accident and not to worry about it. And my favorite was the enclosed yard which was absolutely perfect for our fur baby

House was very clean and just perfect for a little getaway. Super happy it was pet friendly, the backyard is very spacious. It had a back porch and it was screened in, it was nice to relax in the early morning and afternoon. Check in was super easy.

We were extremely satisfied with this property! Only eight minutes away from Manasota Key and the beach! The house was charming and just the right size for myself and my husband, but would also be good for a small family as well. Would absolutely recommend and we will be coming back.
