The Gourmet Kitchen is perfect for any top chef with new, top-end stainless steel appliances, fully equipped with all the pots, pans, dishes, spices, condiments etc. Gorgeous Quartzite counters and full slap backsplash finish this high-end kitchen with huge entertaining island, high-end range hood, farm sink and faucet.

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 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.

As Super Hosts, we have welcomed guests to our vacation homes for over 21 years and this home is one of our favorites! We cannot wait to share it with you!

THE BEST PLACE IN BRADENTON/SARASOTA

This place was amazing, it had everything you needed for a perfect stay. We had stayed in 4-5 other homes in the area and this was by far the best. Our hostess was amazing and bent over backwards to make sure everything was right for us….we will be back!

Great Family Vacation!!!

Our family had the most amazing 6 days here!! The house was perfect for all ages, the view was beautiful, and the location was convenient to great restaurants, shopping, and around 20mins to the most beautiful beaches in Florida. We especially enjoyed seeing the manatees, bird watching, and our afternoons spent in the pool. The beds, showers & kitchen were some other great highlights of this great property. Our host were easy to communicate with and we cant wait to return!!

Beautiful and Peaceful

Very unassuming from the street but the inside, back porch/pool and canal are absolutely mesmerizing! We did get to see the manatees, it was so neat! The host did a great job of upkeep and have stocked the house with everything you could need for a great stay! I wish it was a little closer to the beaches but it is still close enough that it’s not a problem! Great for us as we don’t spend a lot of time at the actual beach… also great central location to all the different places along the Bay Area!

Hidden Gem

This property surprised us. The photos were great, but the actual property blew us away. Modern amenities. Great pool. The canal. Al fantastic. We kayaked all the way to the bay a couple times and got some great photos. The location is perfect, right in between Siesta key and Anna Maria Island. A big thumbs up on this house. Very comfortable stay.
