We just had the most unforgettable family vacation and this house was a big part of it. The layout of the house was spectacular for our family and the walk to the beach bridge is literally two doors down! Only to be complemented by the heated pool in the backyard! Very close to the best homemade ice cream parlor and Publix grocery store! There was no way to not relax and rejuvenate - everything was at our fingertips. Heidi and Art were very accommodating and responsive hosts. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us…

The house was very clean. The only reasons it gets 4/5 stars are the water wouldn’t drain that well due to a partially clogged sink and there were a couple dim light bulbs in the master bathroom. Also the tub in the other bathroom would not drain that well due to partial clogging.

Excellent one bathroom short for the number of bedrooms and guests

There was plenty of room for us, our children and theirs. The little people wore out the pool instead of us, and we enjoyed it too. Private, quiet and oh so close to a wonderful beach.

We rented the house for almost two weeks in July. We were a group of nine, and the layout of the house worked out very well for us. It is a split floor plan, with a master bedroom and bath on one side. There is a "nook" with a bed within the master, wich would be good for a baby or smaller child. We just used this room as a closet. The other side of the house has three bedrooms and one bathroom. One room with two single beds, one queen, and one with three singles (one is a pull-out). This makes the house very flexible for larger groups. The outdoor and pool area was excellent, with a screen preventing bugs and debris from coming in. In the garage there are many beach-chairs, and some other equipment. I guess this varies a bit over time, as guests leave stuff and other things wear out. Very nice to find, anyhow. Kitchen is very well stocked, with an additional small fridge in the garage. Only thing we missed was a bigger pot when cooking pasta for nine :-) Washer and dryer was also great to have, when staying for a longer time. The location is excellent for a relaxing vacation. You can walk to the beach in five mins. To grocery-shopping and restaurants there is a 7-8 mins drive. There is also a small but pretty natural preserve under five minutes drive from the house, we had many early evening strolls through the Manasota Scrub, and got to see many small animals, like turtles. We did not have any issues during our stay, and can absolutely recommend this house to others!

This house is great! It is a short walk to the beach, close to many of the area beaches, restaurants and shops. The kitchen is very well stocked, bedrooms spacious, private pool/patio area is an added bonus with an outdoor shower. The owners communicate back quickly and are very helpful and friendly. Great vacation house!

The house and the owners were wonderful! Very short trip to the beach with amazing water and sharks teeth everywhere. The owners were very prompt with anything we needed. Will definitely be back!
