Another wonderful visit to Barbara's place

This is our second stay at this beautiful property. Barbara is the perfect host, there if you need her and always thinking about your needs. The property is so close to AMI and is located in a lovely estate. We can't wait to return.

Wouldn't change a thing!

I had a wonderful stay at Barbara’s private suite. It was immaculate, peaceful (pretty gardens!) and hosted by a lovely woman who cares that her guests are comfortable and at ease.It was serene and private. I loved having my morning coffee watching the butterflies in the garden and sitting by the pool.The location was perfect. A close drive to Anna Maria Island to watch the sunset as well as a short drive to golf courses.A 10 out of 10 and will be staying here again:)

Served our needs just fine

Room is nice and clean with fun decorating. It's basically like renting a hotel room but with a better location. To be clear, you are renting an enclosed lenai at the rear of the host's home. It was fine for us but, if you need more privacy, it might not work for you. It's in a quiet residential neighborhood and close to the the beaches

Private, clean guest room

Barbara is warm and welcoming. She delights in taking care of her guests, yet is not imposing. She offers a sweet, guest room with a very well-maintained private pool. The neighborhood is quiet yet the property is close to a grocery store, restaurants, post office, and the ocean. We felt safe. We enjoyed making lemonade from lemons from her trees!

Christmas Family Gathering

We were there to share Christmas with our 3 daughters and their families who were staying in a near by rental. We certainly enjoyed our time and the Host went out of her way to make our stay pleasant. Our only regret is that we did not get to say good-bye to her when we checked out.

Comfortable stay in a nice neighborhood

We really enjoyed our 4-night stay at Barbara's place. It is located in a quiet neighborhood close to the water and many amenities. Barbara was very sweet and communicative throughout the process and surprised us with several goodies as an extra treat! We liked how quickly we could get to Anna Maria Island from the property, and the pretty landscaping on the walkway to our door. It is definitely a spot worth considering whenever in Bradenton!
