Wonderful restaurants, shopping, gorgeous beaches, Anna Maria Island, St Armands Circle, Longboat Key, Lido Key Beach, downtown Sarasota and the airport are all within 10-20 minutes. IMG Academy is less than 5 miles away.

We have never personally been to a more magical place! The kayaking is amazing with nature views and the most tranquil canals that stretch for miles! The canal leads to the Gulf of Mexico and you will be thrilled at all the wildlife that call it home here. You will not be disappointed!! Relax and float on our 4 kayaks (one is a double), one Paddle board, also you can bring your own boat or rent one.

Wonderful fishing! Feel free to use one of our fishing rods. There are flying fish such as Mullet, Snook etc. and so many different kinds of birds, turtles and of course manatee families who live here!! Friendly blue herons are fed by neighbors and they are so tame that they will follow you around the yard wanting to make friends with you (don't be scared they would never hurt you).

Swim in the saltwater pool and in the evening, relax by the fire pit with a glass of wine. You won't ever want to leave!

In the garage, you will find tons of beach equipment, Tommy Bahama chairs, umbrellas, toys, floats, coolers, etc. There are also 2 or 3 adult bikes, yard and beach games for children, an Arcade machine with 60 games to choose from, Foos Ball machine and a gorgeous bar. (The garage is NOT air conditioned though and we ask that you keep the inside door closed.)

For those with limited mobility, we have a shower seat, walker and a sturdy cane for your use. Our one level home is perfect for entertaining young and old! We also have a pack-n-play and a high chair for little ones.

Pets are welcome for a fee, depending on number, size of pet and length of stay. Please let us know if you are planning on bringing your fur babies in advance.

Lovely home with water/cove views and a pool for relaxing. Quiet neighborhood. Super easy to check in and out, and the owners were very attentive. The house was just what I needed, as it was close to where my Dad was transitioning to hospice, and the home offered wonderful respite. Thank you!

We had such a wonderful stay at this Florida condo! The home was beautiful, very clean, and extremely well kept. It truly felt like a relaxing home away from home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals.The amenities were amazing for families. The owners provided bicycles, beach chairs, sand toys, and a wagon for beach days, which made everything so much easier. Our kids absolutely loved fishing off the dock and caught a variety of fish throughout the week. We also enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle boards that were available at the house.The location was perfect and only 20 minutes from several beautiful beaches and only about 8 minutes from the airport, which made traveling so convenient. The owner was incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful throughout our stay.We truly loved our time here and would absolutely stay again!

I'm going to try to be fair with this review as there were many great features to this rental, BUT the neglect and lack of effort put into improving the exterior of this home is unacceptable. I have attached 8 photos of the exterior of this home.THE BAD:The grass was 8-10 inches high. There were numerous garbage cans overflowing at the end of the drive that by the end of our stay smelled all the way to the back yard. Paint was chipping off of the house everywhere. Stains on the outside carpet and furniture. The grill was very dirty and had no gas left. There were wasp nests above the front door and around the back of the home with wasps flying everywhere. The yard and landscaping were completely neglected, and the one side of the house had moldy storage sheds lined up against the house. The pool was dirty on the bottom and on the steps (sand/dirt/neglect). The paved dock/firepit area had literally thousands of fire ants crawling all over the pavers. In addition, there was an entire refrigerator full of old food from previous guests, and a cabinet with open food left behind from previous guests. The neighborhood is NOT good. Very low end.THE GOOD:The host was friendly and had the grass cut the next day. The interior was very nice, modern, and clean. The house was clearly flipped recently, and the host did a great job with the renovation. The view of the canal is beautiful and the kayaks are fun to use to explore all the way to the bay.
