10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
location was prefect. Peaceful, quiet, nice property. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Communicating with owner was very easy. Check in was simple and the place was all ready for us. The only two things that I wanted to note. The pillows on the bed were very uncomfortable. Alittle too plump. The kitchen could use some decent size glares. Otherwise, no complaints at all. Very happy with our stay and I would happily come again!

This was our 2nd stay at Lighthouse. The owners think of everything and are very accessible if needed. The house was perfect - clean, comfortable, great air conditioning! Location is perfect for anything around Bradenton, all a short drive away. We'll be back!
