Location is great! Pool is fab! Plenty of towels for showers and pool for 4 adults, for 7 days.Some issues we experienced were lack of house supplies for requested clean up before check out. No dishwasher pods, no laundry soap. Ice maker in fridge wasn't working. Sink and shower drainage in master bedroom poor. Plastic shower curtain in hallway bathroom was full of mold, we had to run out and buy a new one.Like other guests mentioned in guest book, we found multiple baby "German roaches" (as identified in Google Lens)in kitchen sinks every morning. Advice to owner; a little TLC inside house and better housekeeping would earn greater star rating.

House was amazing!

The house was everything we needed and more. The location is great, only 45 min-hour from every direction we were wanting to visit. the beds was very comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked with all dishes you would need; you do need to supply your own seasonings and such. We would definitely stay again!

The house was clean and beautiful! We enjoyed time by the pool, fishing and the fire pit. Only cons were no kitchen bags in trash cans, had to supply our own, pool was only heated the first night, fishing poles were broken so we bought new ones and left them behind so others could enjoy them! Dishwasher by sink did not work, but the washer and drier were top notch (not visually but mechanically) All and all the trip was amazing and we would 100% stay again. The pool lights at night and dolphin/manatee watching by morning were magical only recommendation is to leave a list of places to donate left over (unused food) throwing stuff out never feels good and we would of loved a place we could of donated to. Reached out to owner for ideas but didn’t get a response to that. Again, all and all perfection!

Relaxing on the River

It was a lovely home. With a wonderful kitchen (although we never used it!) and a great backyard with the River view was very relaxing. We saw a couple Dolphins and we had a few birds hang out with us in the backyard. Quite neighborhood, easy to get into Bradenton for spring training games.
