We had a very relaxing stay. So quiet and away from the busy city.. But not so remote that you cant get to a grocery store or restaurants within 10 minutes. The house has pretty much everything you need. We stayed during the first week of December and the home was decorated for Christmas, even down to the dishes and cups.
The temps dipped into the low/mid 70s and the heated pool/hot tub was perfect.
Beautiful home. We look forward to going back.

This lovely home will not disappoint. Water, wildlife,super clean and extremely well equipped, this property exceeded our expectations. I like to say we've been spoiled by each of our VRBO hosts, but Jackie and Bob take it to another level. They literally had a tech out hours before our check in to ensure that everything was up to their standards. We focused on health and wellness for our anniversary and could not have chosen a better place to celebrate. Truly a hidden gem.

Our family stayed for a week and had a fabulous time. The property was beautiful! The photos do not do the interior or exterior justice, it was amazing! The owners were super nice and showed us how to use everything. This isn’t a typical bare bones vacation rental, it was a home. Really nice kitchen appliances and more than enough pots and pans to cook anything we wanted to make! Jackie was kind enough to bring over an instant pot when I asked if she had one. The kids enjoyed the pool and we kayaked and paddle boarded in the river. We caught blue crab off the dock and several catfish. There was a good selection of fishing poles at the home. The beds were really comfortable and the two zoned air conditioner kept us nice and cool. The property felt safe and it is a very quiet neighborhood.
The backyard porch had fans and was comfortable even on super hot days. The furniture outside was very comfortable and having the large TV outside was really great as well. There was a nice outlet mall about 20ish minutes away. We hit up the flea market (only open on Sundays) and had some delicious food from food trucks there and got some fresh produce. We would love to come back and highly recommend this lovely home!

This was the most beautiful property the yard was beautiful with lots of plants and trees and critters. They have a huge turtle who lives on the premises, and eagle and hawks. We enjoys beautiful sunrises and sunsets everyday. The owners Jackie and Bob were super people they came and showed us all the special features of the home. It had every convince imaginable. It was close to church and grocery stores. I have several happy men who enjoyed fishing off their dock. And swimming in the pool was great also.

Stayed Dec 28-Jan 9, 2023. Very nice private property. The kitchen had all of the essentials plus much, much more. All of the beds were very comfortable. It was perfect since it was our family Christmas together and the house was even decorated for holiday season. Plenty of room for the six of us. Beautiful sunrises, very nice pool and jacuzzi, and the lanai was terrific - spent most of our time outside on the patio. My husband caught nine catfish from the dock and we saw several dolphins from the dock. Would absolutely book again if we're traveling to the area.

Every person in our group of 6 loved this property inside and out! We spent the majority of our time in the large, comfortable, private lanai. The pool was wonderful and warm. We especially enjoyed the views, fish tank, privacy, comfortable beds, and spaciousness of the home. The communication and hospitality of the hosts were excellent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home in Ruskin. There was plenty of room for everyone to visit, eat, sleep, and relax. Swimming in the pool and fishing off the dock were highlights for our family.
And the views are amazing! We saw dolphins pass by twice in our week long stay.
The house was fully equipped with everything we needed. We are already discussing staying again next year!

House and hosts very accommodating. House well appointed, with all the extras. Pool was a huge hit with kids, and I enjoyed fishing and kayaking from the dock. Traveled with parents and kids, and plenty of space and options for activities for all. Location was good for a quiet get-away. We drove over to Universal for a day, and also rented boats from a nearby beach.
Hosts were superb to work with.

Relaxing Retreat...
We took our two moms to this lovely home on the water... the beds were so comfy and the outdoor pool delightful. It was enjoyable to wake up and look out over the Little Manatee River and we even saw dolphins and a bald eagle eating breakfast. It is in a very rural and quiet area so if you are seeking peace this is the place.
Thanks to the owners for making it a great vacation!

The house was even more impressive than the pictures showed. The view was beautiful! We watched dolphins in the distance and enjoyed eating all of our meals outside by the pool. It was such a quiet, peaceful location. We did have some issues with the pool/hot tub but the hosts were exceptional at communicating and getting everything looked at asap. Overall, we had such a wonderful stay and this home is very well kept and stocked with nearly anything you can imagine.

Home away from home
We absolutely love the accommodations, the pool, the grounds, the view... everything! The house is stocked with anything you could possibly need. We immediately felt like we were in our home away from home. The beds are super comfortable with super cozy linens, the large screen TVs were readily available seemingly at every turn (even at the pool), and the kitchen was fully stocked with every tool you could possibly need to cook any type meal. The hosts were very communicative and hospitable, providing a very clean, homey, and relaxing environment. We truly appreciate Bob and Jackie opening their home to us and for giving us such a wonderful 17th anniversary trip.

If your lookin for privacy, dolphins, palm trees, and a real “hot” tub/pool, this property is for you! Plenty of space for all of us and beautifully decorated especially for the holiday season, we took family pics in front of the Christmas tree that was lovely! Pool area was our place to hang out or we played cards and games near the fireplace!
It was hard to find a heated pool in Tampa area, all the other home pools were”solar heated”. This place is within 30 minutes from Sarasota or St. Pete. Great that there is two master bedrooms with there own bath!
They have a propane fire pit near pool or a wood pit down near water which was an added bonus!
My family wants to book for next year already:)
