Needed a house with big dock for a 44' Caymas that we were displaying at the boat show. This house was perfect for us, close to Marina Jack where the boat show was, and super nice. Will def try to stay here again next year!

This was a beautiful property, gorgeous location in excellent condition. The host was absolutely exceptional. There was a boat available. You could fish right off the property. It was a short drive to Ana Maria Island and all kinds of other beautiful beaches directly accessible from the boat that’s available to rent. Do not pass this one up.

Family vacation

There were 11 of us that stayed at this house. Ages 8-72. We were very impressed with the views - and really enjoyed seeing the gulf of Mexico. There were always birds of all kinds to be seen and one day we saw dolphins out in the distance! We from MI weather and was looking forward to the 'heated" pool and "hot" tub. That being said - we were very disappointed with the the limited ability to enjoy using the pool and hot tub.We understood that the weather was very cold for FL but the discription of those amenities were misleading. The manager of the property did inform me, after I texted (asking why the hot tub wasn't warming up after an hour of having it turned on)-that the hot tub may have a hard time keeping up to temperature. But it wasn't until after I called the manager and left a message, did I receive an email (hours later) explaining the type of heating system they have for the pool and hot tub. They have a heat pump and it truly isn't designed for cooler weather and for keeping the pool and hot tub up to a tolerable temperature. We understood at that point that we wouldn't be able to enjoy being in the water like we thought - all 11 of us were VERY frustrated. If the information about the heating system would have been in the discription - we would not have stayed at this house. The email wasn't sent to me until Friday- 3 days after we arrived... 3 days of going back and forth with the manager and trying to understand why the hot tub wasn't tolerable

We spent a long weekend at this property with 9 of my girlfriends. This home had everything we needed. The kitchen is fully stocked, bathrooms with plenty of towels and lots of pool towels as well. The outdoor area is truly an oasis. Sunrises from one side of the house and sunsets from the other. I cannot recommend this home enough.

Beautiful Get-away

Exactly as listed...a beautiful home with everything we needed. Rented the pontoon boat and enjoyed a day on the water along with a stop at a restaurant for lunch. Pool was exactly what we needed, so relaxing along with floats. Evening hours spent playing games which were there. The owner was very helpful with any questions we had and very quick to respond. We will return.

Multigenerational Family Trip

Went to Sarasota for Graduation. Perfect home for 3 generations of family to stay. Beautiful property on a baby peninsula into the bay, island right across the way where birds came to roost for the night. Lovely to just sit and watch the bay, but also awesome pool and really enjoyed adding pontoon boat rental. Able to cook most meals at home. Great location for accessing Sarasota and Bradenton schools/restaurants/beaches but also didn’t have much desire to leave the house.
