We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Very comfortable. Many extras were provided like paper towels, coffee, dish soap, extra towels, wood for fire pit, etc. Spacious, big yard, corn hole game. Only one bedroom was available, but if the second bedroom becomes available it would make a great place for a family. Nice area. Very close to the River House restaurant and walk way along th

The house was very comfortable, and I loved the decor. The yard and gardens are very nice. I had a relaxing stay. Communication from the owner was great.

This is a marvelous cottage, nestled into a residential area in Palmetto, just north of Bradenton, which is just north of Sarasota and the famous beaches (Anna Maria, Longboat Key etc.) Figure a 20-40 minute drive, depending on traffic, time of year and how far south you want to go. (Then again it can take an hour to drive two miles if you're right ON the beach in high season.) Palmetto is a lovely maritime community of its own,a taste of old Florida, and this cottage is easy walking distance to a beautiful boat dock and a few nice restaurants and shops. The back yard and soaring cathedral ceiling are the glory of this place, which feels spacious but not at all spare. The caretaker and other on-site resident (including one dog) are friendly and so helpful-- the garden is maintained like the Garden of Eden, with edible fruit you're encouraged to eat, herbs and shade trees. A stacked fire pit was waiting at our arrival. Will we be back? You bet we will!!!

Lovely stay at a spacious and private property. The home is amazingly well equipped and looks out onto a garden with fruit trees. The owner is responsive, helpful and kind. A nice place to land for a few days.

The house and property were very quaint and uniquely appointed. The yard was full of fruit trees and our children loved learning more about them from the property manager. Our only suggestion is to upgrade the mattresses. They felt unstable and bowed in the middle. Otherwise, we’d stay there again. I will say the 10 min drive to the beach was more like 30 min due to Spring Break traffic.

I rented this place for my adult children, who came to celebrate my birthday. They loved the place and the contact person. Everything was great.

From the time we pulled up in the driveway, we loved the property! The property was so inviting, from the beautiful yard with fruit trees, veggie garden and large lawn with a fire pit, to the house which is so calming, with lots of windows to let the breeze and light in. The decor may not be for people that think everything should be new and modern, but it was just beautiful to us. It's a house that was modeled in keeping of it's age...the fifties. Real comfortable furniture, and somewhat modern, but in keeping with the house. Kitchen has brick floors and is equipped with anything you would need to cook with. There were coolers and beach towels there for our use. A covered patio with grills and outdoor games. The location is easy walking to a marina and beautiful historic homes and easy drive to other attractions. We all hated to leave and hope to come back soon ! Thanks for having us! We had such a nice time, really hated to leave but hope to be back soon!

My daughter, Granddaughter and myself so enjoyed this clean, retro decorated house! Living room so open and full of windows. Kitchen is filled stocked. Yard is large and has a fireplace. Patio stocked with yard games and grills for cooking. Plenty of parking space too. The location is safe and walkable to parks, churches, marina and more. Looking forward to staying here again!
