10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
We had a great Stay here The house is perfect very clean exactly as it’s stated. Everything you could need in the kitchen All the rooms were spotless. Pool was perfect The boat dock was great for our boat nice and easy for docking and getting out to the inland water way. The house is in the perfect location for Anna Maria and Bradenton. Keep and eye out for Eddie the egret he will visit in the morning and evening for his daily fix of crab he lets you feed him Overall the house is perfect in many ways We will definitely be back next year Oh and the beds are so comfortable

6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
The property manager was helpful. the host is a company.the place was dirty and the bed fitted sheets & pillow cases all need replacement - disgustingly stained. we were appalled upon leaving the place.price should include heated pool. this should not cost extra, nor should a customer be required to manage this ammenity.
