This place was AMAZING! Not only is it fully as described, but arguably better than described. Highlights for us:- Outside was magic (tiki hut/pool/TV incredible!!)-DDR was AMAZING for our girls weekend - STOCKED kitchen!! - Cold AC! - Beach Supplies made packing so much easier!

You will NOT be disappointed with this property! It is very clean and so cozy. We had such a great time enjoying the pool during the day, the tiki hut at night as well as the fire top table! The kitchen has EVERYTHING you need. Our bed was comfortable, I slept like a baby. Brian & Tonya thought of everything. Anytime I needed something, they were quick to respond. My absolute favorite part was the closeness of several beaches. It’s a 10-15 minute ride to Anna Marie Island, 18 minutes to Bradenton Beach and 43 minutes to Siesta Key Beach. The book about the property had some great suggestions, by the owners, of dining in the area. Also if you walk a very short distance down the road you dead end into a canal. There is a small dock. My husband caught a catfish on the first cast AND he saw a Manatee!! Neighborhood was quiet and clean. I WILL definitely be back soon & would book w/Brian & Tonya anytime/anywhere

We had the best time! The back yard is so great for kids to keep them occupied and so great to wake up with a cup of coffee relaxing outside watching some TV in the morning while the kids sleep in. It's in a great location we went to Disney one day Venice beach another day Anna Maria island 2 days, and Clearwater another day.

We had a great and relaxing girls trip at this beautiful, beachy house. There was beach stuff provided that we could use while we were staying there and we took advantage and used the beach chairs! The outdoor shower was refreshing after coming back from a long day at the beach. The pool was clean, cool and refreshing too. We loved the tiki hut and the outdoor tv. Everything about this place was just perfect.

Our 2nd time staying at the blue bayou with our 3 kids. Just as lovely as our first trip. Dock access is the highlight of our stay. Our son fishes on and off all day and loves every minute. The property owners added some fun outdoor games we enjoyed as a family. The softest bath towels ever!! So clean and comfortable. Very quiet neighborhood. Can’t wait to come back next summer already!

This is an AMAZING rental! It is very clean, has all you need in the home and the outdoor area is fantastic. The owner gives you a few laundry detergent pods, dishwasher pods and snacks to get you started, which we found very helpful. The home was spotless and owners were quick to respond with any questions. We hope to stay here again! HIGHLY recommend!

Our family had a fabulous stay! The spacious backyard was perfect for our group—we enjoyed both the sunshine and the ample shade under the tiki hut. The screened-in porch, complete with a bathroom and second fridge, was a standout feature. The house itself was exceptionally clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. The hosts were communicative, responsive, and very helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone!

This home is exactly as pictured. The pool and tiki hut are the stars of the show! The backyard was beautiful and very relaxing. You can tell that a lot of love, thought, and money was put into this home to make it accommodating. The hosts have thought of everything, and we really appreciated being able to borrow their beach supplies! The welcome snacks were such a nice surprise for our hungry kids after traveling and were appreciated. This house was simply wonderful for our family.
