Fantastic place to stay!
Our family had the greatest Spring Break vacation at this marvelous home. The furniture and beds were comfortable and was the amenities were abundant! The pool water was clean and very warm. The home is in close driving distance to many of the beaches which includes Siesta Key, Lido Beach, and Venice Beach. Our family were definitely come back to this wonderful vacation home!
This home was well equipped and had a beautiful setting. There were many stores, restaurants and of course the beach near by. This home is large and accommodated our family of 7 well. The only issue we had was the pool bathroom had a plumbing problem. The handyman sent out by the management company said he felt the pipe below ground had collapsed. So after only 3 days into our vacation we were down one bathroom which was a manager issue for us. I do realize the owners could not have predicted such a situation, never the less we would stay there again providing the bathroom situation is fixed.

We all loved what this house had to offer during our 2 week stay. Loved the spaciousness of the bedrooms, kitchen and living rooms. The kitchen had everything you would need for cooking or baking. The screened in pool was an oasis for our family to relax and swim. This came stocked with plenty of floaties to choose from. A very quiet neighborhood and close to many beaches. We would stay here again.
