Jan D. May 11, 2025 01:31:07 AM
Summary: Booked this updated 3b/3b pool home for 8 days. 6 family members joined us 1 day/night for a mini reunion. The home was clean, very large caged pool, and FULLY stocked for games/toys/beach towels and anything a chef would need to prepare meals in the unbelievably HUGE gorgeous kitchen! Had an issue with garbage disposal and owner was quick to respond. Plumber arrived in 1 hour (on a SUNDAY!) The rain shower heads in bathrooms had great strong water pressure for anyone with long hair (you know what I mean, right? Some rain showers are so weak that it takes forever to rinse off!) Lovely unique neighborhood, great for morning walks. We met many dog-walkers. Hit Linger Lodge (casual) in Bradenton for lunch, 13 miles N. Great View of Braden River, food and service excellent. Also hit Jungle Gardens 5 miles from home. I am a flamingo-lover, and had a great time hand-feeding them which is a rare opportunity! Owner is quick to respond to any questions. Highly recommend!

Summary: Our family enjoyed staying at the home. The property owner has equipped the home well. The pool and lanai was a great spot to hang out. We hope to visit again.
Susan R. Mar 24, 2025 03:54:06 AM
Summary: The property matches the online description perfectly. A nice home with room (and bathrooms!) for everyone. The outside enclosed lanai is lovely and where we spent most of our time. Quiet neighborhood. Hosts were immediately responsive for all needs and questions.

Summary: Owner was very responsive to all our requests and questions. Enjoyed the pool, lanai and fire table. Very large kitchen and dining area for our group. Neighborhood was nice to walk in. It was close to all our activities. We enjoyed the Sarasota Farmers Market on Saturday as well as an art festival.

Summary: Nanette’s home is as pictured. She had everything you could need and more. There’s so much space to move about comfortably. There was a storm during our stay and the house felt safe and quiet! Our kids are fish and loved the pool!
