The house was perfect for our family and super easy access to the beach / sound. The rooms were specious and clean and the pool was great!

Equon, thank you for taking a moment to leave this! Knowing your crew had a great time is exactly what we hope to hear. The property really comes alive when a good group fills it up.
The house was conveniently located just off the bridge and stocked with all the things you would need for a vacation. The host was most friendly and accommodating for any questions we had! Look forward to next time!

DJ, "look forward to next time" is music to our ears! Being just off the bridge puts you in such a sweet spot for getting over to the island quickly, and we always want guests to feel like everything they need is already there waiting for them. Glad we could be helpful along the way. Next time cannot come soon enough!
I was pleasantly surprised with all the extras found in this VBRO. The kitchen was fully stocked with spices, seasonings, cooking oil, coffee filters and individual creams and sugars. The pool had plenty of chairs and rafts. The extra beach chairs and wagon were very helpful. This went above and beyond the normal.I gave a four because the bedrooms and dining room were warmer than the main living room which was cold. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay.

Michelle, thank you for the honest and thoughtful feedback! We are so glad the extras made an impression, stocking the kitchen and making sure everything is ready to go is something we really care about. The beach chairs and wagon are one of those details we love providing so guests can just show up and enjoy. Even though your stay fell during above average temperatures, we are already working on property improvements to make sure every room stays consistently comfortable. We hope you will give us another shot and let us make it a ten out of ten next time!
This house was excellent for our group. We enjoyed the pool and outdoor covered patio/cooking area. Host was very responsive when we had a question. Would book this place again if in the area.

William, so glad the house worked well for your group! The covered patio and outdoor kitchen are really meant for exactly that, gathering people together and making memories. Knowing you would come back means a lot to us. Whenever the area calls you back, we will be ready to welcome you!
We all really enjoyed the tropical paradise you created at 200 palms. The home was clean and well stocked with all the essentials. We will definitely consider booking again next year for a longer stay as it was conveniently located to the beach, restaurants and stores. Well done!

Pam, "tropical paradise" is about the best thing we could hear! We put a lot of love into making 200 Palms feel like a true escape, so that really warms our hearts. A longer stay next year sounds like a wonderful plan and the beach, restaurants and stores will all still be just a short trip away. We cannot wait to have you back!
Had a wonderful weekend at 200 palms. The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed and then some. The back yard is an absolutely gorgeous oasis. This is built for a family stay but we enjoyed it with just the two of us. All the extras that are offered just go above and beyond. My wife extra appreciated the hair straightener, curling iron and the ninja slushie machine. Cortez is absolutely breath taking but the close proximity to Anna Maria island is what sold us and it did not disappoint. I would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area as the property and hosts were amazing!

Mark, thank you for this wonderful review! The backyard truly is something special and we love hearing it felt like an oasis for the two of you. Those little extras are there because we want every guest to feel thought of, so hearing that your wife loved the styling extras and the slushie machine puts a big smile on our face. Cortez is such a hidden gem and Anna Maria Island never disappoints. We would love to welcome you both back anytime!
Absolutely love this place, nice and kind tucked away but two minutes from the beach, the pool and the outdoor grilling area made it totally worth it

We are so glad you loved the home and enjoyed the tucked away feel while still being so close to the beach. It is great to hear that the pool and outdoor grilling area helped make your stay especially enjoyable. We appreciate you choosing our place for your trip and are happy it was a memorable one.
This house is so nice, comfortable and beautiful. Cleanliness was excellent, fully equipped kitchen. We were cooking inside and outside on the grill, they have very nice kitchen outside with fridge, sink, workstation, lot of sitting. The swimming pool is very clean and beautiful and they have also hot tub. We were so comfortable that we didn’t even went to the beach,lol. We have so much fun and my family enjoyed it so much. Definitely we”ll be back. Excellent communication with the host. 100% recommended.

Erika, when guests are having such a good time at the property that the beach can wait, we know we did something right! It sounds like your family made the most of every corner of the place, from the indoor kitchen to the outdoor grill setup to the pool. That is exactly the kind of trip we hope everyone has here. We cannot wait to have your family back!

About the host
Hosted by Brian & Stacey
Stacey is a high school history teacher and Brian works in corporate finance and we have 4 children from 6 to 14 years old. We love learning more about the world including other people, cultures and history. Family is important to us and we love going on adventures and making memories together.
Why they chose this property
We purchased a place where we could escape from the grind of every day life to relax and make memories with our children near the beach. The tropical vibe, the tree house in a mango tree, and the close distance to the beach remind us that we can relax, turn off our phones, and enjoy the beauty of Florida. And while we love our time here, when we are not here, we would love for this place to give other families a place to escape to and make memories with their own families.
What makes this property unique
Our kids absolutely love the large heated pool surrounded by a small stream and lots of palm trees. The kids enjoy seeing the lizards run around by the stream and around the rest of the backyard. It definitely reminds you that you are in the sunshine state. The kids have made great memories helping pick fresh mangos from the treehouse in the summer.
Away from the house, we love visiting the Cortez beach (only 3 miles away)! We have a wagon, cooler, chairs, beach towels, and a large beach umbrella you can use to have a wonderful day at the beach. Near Cortez beach the kids love to get souvenirs along Bridge Street and we like stopping at the various restaurants nearby with live music at night.
