Our small group was very pleased with all aspects of the house. This includes the cleanliness, room sizes, appliances and the 4 bathrooms attached to each bedroom. The swimming pool and hot tub were enjoyable. The location on the Little Manatee River is great. The host is easy to communicate with.

Our stay at this modern cottage was pure bliss. Set by a tranquil lake, with a sparkling pool and hot tub, it was the perfect getaway for our girls’ trip. The cottage was immaculate, newly renovated, and so easy to navigate. The separate studio apartment, where the dog stayed with his owner, gave us a perfect private retreat. Everything was just wonderful—peaceful, clean, and unforgettable.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! The house is exactly as described, and perfectly clean. The host provides timely replies. There’s so much sunlight in the main room! The beds are extremely comfortable. We loved unwinding from our busy days in the hot tub and cool pool. The supplied coffee and creamer selection was a convenient bonus. Lots of restaurants and a superstore nearby for any meals and supplies you need. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay! There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room. The house was clean. The kids loved the pool. We saw dolphins, manatees and sting rays in the canal in the back which was definitely a highlight of the trip. Only complaint was shower in Florida room was very short for my son and husband.
