Double booked
I was very pleased with the final results after unfortunately getting double booked . The host was able to get us in their other property. Even though we had to change all our plans. We still ended up having a very comfortable and relaxing time. And was able to check out a little later. Very pleased with how they handled everything!!

Great little hidden gem
My partner and I stayed during a recent visit to see family/friends. The place is larger than expected with new appliances and split AC/HEAT elements and a nice little Keurig for those morning coffee drinkers. The neighborhood was quiet and located close both family in Bradenton and Anna Maria Island. Check in was quick and convenient. **Also the sink that most people seem to complain about worked just fine**A couple cups/dishes weren’t washed in the cabinet but wasn’t a problem. Dish soap and sponges were supplied. Other than that the place and bathroom were spotless.Thanks for a great stay

Fantastic Little Spot
Fantastic little spot away from the hustle and bustle of the main roads. Just a 8 minute drive to the beach and incredible food options all over! Would definitely recommend this spot and the smash burger joint was incredible!
