There is a washer and dryer available for use. Unfortunately, we were not able to use the kayaks which were available due to our schedule, but it was great to have the option. We loved sitting out back and enjoying the sunsets. We even saw a dolphin in the canal!!! We had fun exploring the area and enjoyed the Manatee Viewing Center just a few minutes away from the house.

The neighborhood was quiet , the house was perfect for our family and well maintained . My only observation is that we wished that the back yard was better maintained , as we would have spent more time out side on the patio enjoying the beautiful view . Thank you for having such a wonderful home available. The Raysick’s ##### Cristina R.

We also appreciated the pack and play available for my 3 month old niece so we didn't have to bring one on the plane :) Our first stop was coffee so we'd have it for the morning. I would love if there was an option for a full pot instead of just a Keurig, but that's just my personal preference. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we had a great stay! Wish we had more time so we could have taken out the kayaks. Thank you for opening your home to guests! ##### Emily E.

The home had apparently flooded during the hurricanes and the flooring had been recently replaced. I noticed all the furniture is different from the online photos so maybe the furniture was damaged as well but everything int he home was beautiful and in great condition. Very nice furniture. Comfortable beds. Reclining sofas in the family room that we seriously wanted to take home with us. We thoroughly enjoyed the little dock, fishing from it at night and it was so peaceful to sit out there in the morning. We had a few family members over for my brother's 80th birthday and used the barbecue and it was a great place for the family to gather. The owner was extremely responsible to a minor issue we had. Everything about the house and our stay there was wonderful. ##### Gwendolyn W.
