What a great vacation at a fabulous house. Our Host was wonderful and answered all questions quickly. House was centrally located for the activities we had planned. The boyo thought the pool was the best and was so thankful it was heated. We had more than enough room for everyone. Thank you for everything!

This home is lovely! Everything was incredibly clean & Jessica was a courteous host! My crew was 3 moms and our 3 sons visiting for a soccer event. There was plenty of room for all of us. Cooking for 3 strapping young men, we would have liked a bigger pan, but we made it work. Also they ate cereal out of cups because there was no bowls that could be used for cereal. But nothing earth shattering. The marina is in walking distance & is a lovely walk. We had dinner with a view at Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant & I had the best toasted coconut ice cream at Frosty Oasis!

The house was perfect for 4 adults. The front and back porches were very comfy. Pool house was a great addition. The pool was cold and was advertised as heated so a little disappointed. We only stayed 2 nites so we didnt make a fuss over temp. The house is in a great little community w Bradenton and marina only a couple miles away.

Perfect location and home for our short stay. Easy access to St. Petersburg and Tampa. The immediate area and the restaurants/shops in Bradenton were diverse and delicious. The house is lovely and the pool is fantastic. The pool is easy to access with warm water, beautiful surroundings and endless fun.

Really enjoyed our 2 day stay. If I can make a few comments...bbq grill caught fire (!) and needs to be cleaned. As a homeowner myself, I would recommend cleaning the debris off the roofs-especially the pool house. I would definitely stay there again.
