We had such an amazing vacation at this property! We felt safe and this home was so well stocked and appointed that we felt right at home. From bikes, beach toys, beach chairs, towels, cookware, appliances, spices/seasonings, dishes, books, pool toys, pretty much anything you could imagine or think to need it was there-the list goes on! We enjoyed walks and bike rides around the neighborhood and met several of the neighbors who were all very kind and friendly. We played cards and family games at the spacious dining table every night. We celebrated three family members Birthday’s at that table as well! Very cool and happy memories made indeed! The pool was such a great amenity to have available and we used it daily. Everything was clean and easy to keep clean during our stay in this beautiful home. The beds were all comfortable. The location of this home was perfect for us and we had everything in the area that we could have ever needed! We visited numerous beaches all of which were not far and not terrible drive times. Siesta Key, Venice, Casperson, Anna Maria-Holmes and Manatee (our FAV!), Coquina (also our FAV!), Cortez, Lido, Longboat, and even a trip down to Sanibel-Captiva! First Watch was amazing for breakfast! We also enjoyed Walt’s Fish Market for dinner as well as The Ugly Grouper on Anna Maria (our favorite place to eat on the Island). Five star pizza was yummy for ordering in family style. The Hosts Ben and Susan are amazing and absolutely the sweetest and most kind people! Very responsive and easy to reach when we had questions. We had so much fun, laughter and family time at this home! We seriously hated to leave! We highly recommend this property and have added this beautiful home to our list of where we will return in the future! Thank you so much for being one of the great VRBO’s!
