Nicely layed out and spacious design, provided room for us to enjoy with my daughters' family with two small children. We loved swimming in the enclosed patio pool and hanging outside during the evening. The kitchen and bathrooms were supplied with all necessary provisions including ample eating and cooking utensils and swimming and bath towels. Well done. Thank you to the owners. ##### Scott L.

The home is in a great spot if you have transportation. Ana Marie, Siesta, Longboat, Lido Keys, Braydenton Beach and St Armand circle all within an hours drive. ( we did scenic, slower roads) It's in a great neighborhood close to good restaurants, grocery stores and shopping. The house itself was amazing! Wonderful and spacious, the pool area was where we spent most of the time. Clean pool, solid grill and outdoor TV, comfy sitting/dining area. The kitchen was fully stocked! didn't need a thing. Pizza pan, pizza slicer, peeler, measuring cups etc. The owners really paid attention to every detail, including decor, info books, beach chairs and umbrellas. We actually discussed buying the house to retire in the area! Will definitely come back again. Loved it. ##### Joe P.

The two grandsons hardly left the pool. Two grandaughters loved pool and sunbathing. We went to Holmes beach twice and it was very close. Ladies did some shopping on Pine st & Bridge st. Also rented a bicycle build for 4\. Laughed the whole hour we used in. Men played mini golf. The has was very clean and lots of space for together or some private time. I would rent again if we go back to that area.The owner always replied to any questions we might of had. ##### William & Susan S.

So here’s the deal with everything getting five stars…this place (and the owners) deserved it!! We absolutely loved this home. It’s been completely renovated and the owners did not cut corners on anything. From the new appliances to the very nice and comfortable furniture we just felt at home. My wife, 2 daughters (10&12), my in-laws and an Auntie stayed here. The room arrangements worked out fantastic (we also got the master suite, so that was a bonus, haha). The beds were very comfortable. The salt water pool was amazing (it feels so good on the skin and doesn’t dry you out like a chlorinated pools can). And we did a glow night in the pool (order a glow stick pack (bracelets,necklaces, glasses, glow balls, etc) from amazon. It has a nice Weber grill, fire pit coffee table and we watched some of the Stanley Cup playoffs while sitting poolside. Even the linens and towels were nice! Communication with Britt & Cory was easy and response time was fast! A/C worked great and plenty of hot water. Beach chairs were super nice backpack chairs with the coolers built in. It was close to the beaches and grocery stores. Like I said it felt like they didn’t scrimp on anything and we absolutely loved the home! We definitely will be staying here again. P.S.Try Breadsmith, there breads were delicious. And also Turners donuts (it’s a hole in the wall but the price of the donuts and the apple fritters were awesome)! Don’t even second guess this place people… just book it!!! ##### Bradford S.

We contacted the owner's, very nice to work with them, they had an outdoor water faucet that didn't shut off, they were on it!!! I love VRBO, you can deal directly with the owners.A perfect stay for anyone needing a get away.Lydia ;) ;) ##### Lydia D.

The owners were fantastic to work with, it is obvious how hard they work to make their guests feel welcome. Their attention to detail made our family vacation and Thanksgiving incredible. If I could I would give six stars. ##### John D.
