It was close enough to drive to any place that you needed; food, grocery stores, etc. But, it was still closed off from the public where we had our privacy.

Pleasant surprise that host had left us muffins for morning since we hadn’t gotten anything since we were so late due to delays. Good communication and directions. Very clean upon arrival and as described. Good selection of restaurants near by. Definitely will be back next year. Michael was a kind host. Thank you. ##### Michael N.

We needed a base for some medical appointments we had in Lakewood Ranch traveling from SC. Michael was the perfect host of an amazing laid back beautiful hidden home. Very large comfortable accommodations nestled in beautiful live oaks and greenery near to beaches, restaurants and shopping. Having your own pool and hot tub was an amazing and relaxing way to end our busy days. Full kitchen and eating area made you feel you were at home. Comfortable beds…very clean. Thank you Michael for a perfect stay. We will be back!!! ##### Scott A.
