Great house on a canal

We had a wonderful 3 week stay in this home. Laura is a very attentive host and quickly addressed the few minor issues that popped up. The place, including the hot tub was very clean and the kitchen was well appointed, which we appreciated since we like to cook often when we stay in a VRBO. The living space and beds were comfortable. The location is very well suited for trips to St. Petersburg, Tampa and Sarasota. It's also a 10 minute drive from the Manatee Viewing Center, which is a fun visit during cooler months and which also has some good walking trails. We recommend a stay in this place!

Quiet setting

We were a group of two couples. Property was very much as advertised. The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked and had some spices, oils and condiments. Beds were comfortable, we thought the pillows could use an upgrade. Bathrooms were clean and plenty of hot water. Did not have soap or shampoo so bring your own. In particular we liked the screened in porch. Lots of space there and a nice little gas grill. Very comfortable area. There is a Publix supermarket near by and a few restaurants. We really liked Fins for good food and outdoor dining. The host Laura was great to deal with and lives close by. We definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay here again.

Solid place

Traveled with the family. We've stayed at lots of VRBO's, so it's not as good as several others we've stayed at, but it's a good/solid place. Neighborhood appears safe. Cleanliness is important to us and this place was clean. Check-in process wasn't as good as other places. I don't think we've every stayed at a place where we had to meet the owner (to get a key) in person to get into the house. All others have been keyless entry, or a key was left in a lock box of some sort. Also, some shower supplies would be nice to have (little shampoos, conditioners, soap, etc). There was none of that, only left overs from what appeared to be past guests, which is strange to us. Bed in master bedroom needs a new mattress, in our opinion, and upgrade to a king size.

Family fun getaway

Outstanding property. We'll stocked home ready for incoming family. We arrive with our boat (easy launching and docking). The house is a short putt putt out to main channel out to the bay. We enjoyed a cruise to Egmont Key one day. Great Fishing the next. Hot tub gave us a relaxing evening. Will definitely look at renting here again in the near future. Thanks Laura for the great vacation home you provided us.

We loved staying in the canal home. The house is very beautiful and Ms. Laura provided all of the necessities for us to feel at home. She was the sweetest and amazing to work with! Our favorite parts about the house were the large screened in patio, and the water view with the dock. We loved fishing there!! It was a great home away from home while we took our kitty for a specialized treatment. Thank you!
