Great for a small family

This was the perfect size house for our family of 4. I loved that the pool had a covered lanai and the safety fence around the pool provided extra security. The kitchen had everything we needed (coffee maker, plenty of cookware). There were plenty of toys for the pool in the garage and lots of beach toys and chairs and umbrella for the days we went to the beach. The drive to Manatee Beach was very easy. We would definitely come back if were would come to this area again.

Loved our stay!

This villa in a quiet, upscale neighborhood is a great home base to enjoy the Bradenton/ Sarasota area. My husband and I found the neighborhood great for walking with pretty landscaping and friendly neighbors. The sunrise views over the pool and water were a delight. The home has every amenity one would need and is only about a 30 minute drive to gulf beaches.

Lovely Villa

Very pleased with this villa. The villa was exactly as described. The owners were very responsive and obviously love their property and take that extra effort in making their home extremely homely. Several nice touches eg. providing additional items you would find useful but not included in alot of villa inventories. It is well located for Anma Maria Island,Siesta Key and Lido Key beaches. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home.

House was conveniently located, close to all amenities such as Publix, Walmart, etc. It was close to major shopping such as the Ellenton Outlets and the Mall at UTC. The house was fully equipped with all you needed for cooking, had a clean bbq to use, and the pool was very clean. The lanai area could have been cleaner, there were a lot of dead insects around outside, but overall everything was good.

Beautiful home

Beautiful house. Convenient location to all of Bradington. The only concern that we had was when we arrived there was algae in the pool so we weren't able to use the pool for the first 24 hours. However it was corrected by golf coast the next evening And we were then able to use the pool two hours later. Overall I would use the property again

Lovely villa in great location

A lovely, comfy villa, lots of space, in a great location in Bradenton. Lots of shops, restaurants, nature preserves, beaches, all within a 40 minute drive. Was a great place to unwind for 9 days after 5 days in Orlando. Pool was nice to splash around in - 5 year old daughter loved it! 16 month old son not so much but we'll educate him! Big garage, lots of floaties for the pool, kid-safety screen around the pool which was a definite bonus. Big tellies, streaming services, quiet lounge as well for reading, etc. All in all, as the second villa we've hired in Bradenton in general, this is a better location and would consider going back in future.

PERFECT!

My daughter and I booked this beautiful home and stayed there with my two grandkids. This place was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed every single minute. Very clean, spacious, plenty of bath towels and pool towels. Nicely decorated and pulling into this community of homes, I felt like a movie star! It is very well maintained through out and so very quiet! Awesome neighborhood. My grandkids favorite was the pool! They were in the pool morning noon and night, they were even impressed about the home and they are 5 and 7. Very convenient to shopping and Anna Marie Island. We hope to stay again at this beautiful property! Property owners are amazing, very quick responses and always helpful! You won’t be disappointed in this home at all!!

Great family beach vacation!!!

I have to say that this is one of my best experiences I have had while vacationing. The pictures don't do justice to how the house really is. The house was spacious and has all amenities needed to enjoy and relax when not at the beach. My wife loved the walking closet and bathroom for master bedroom. The internet was fast enough, which allowed my kids to enjoy online gaming when they were not in the pool or basketball court. I enjoyed the gas grill and spending time by the pool. The pool area and ceiling fan needs some cleaning, but overall it was fine. I called property management about the pool and they sent somebody to look at it. We love the location and the drive to the beach didn't feel that long. Pauline and Howard are great hosts and we will definitely look forward to staying again at the magnificent Little Palms Villa.

About the host

Hosted by Pauline Walduck. Stylish Lakefront Villa with Heated Pool.

Host profile image
Hello.
My name is Pauline. My husband Howard and I purchased our lovely villa nearly 20 years ago. We have spent a great deal of time making it a colourful and comfortable home to try to ensure that our guests will always have an enjoyable stay in this wonderful location.
We love the home and the local area and try to visit twice year to enjoy visiting the many towns and beaches nearby such as Siesta Key and the fabulous Anna Maria Island.
We live in the UK in the north of the country in an area called the Lake District where I work for a cottage rental company and my husband renovates period properties for a living.
We have made many friends during our ownership of Little Palms Villa, and are pleased to have many repeat bookings from guests who stay there, some returning year after year.

Why they chose this property

We spent a long time choosing our Florida home and decided that the place with the greatest appeal for us was the Gulf Coast with its superb beaches and unhurried lifestyle compared to other areas we visited. The home is just a 5 minute drive from the I 75 (running north south the length of Florida) close to the west coast allowing easy travel to the many attractions of the Sarasota and Bradenton area. The main point that we loved about the villa was the south facing view over the pool to the rear over the peaceful lake.

What makes this property unique

Our villa has all of the amenities that any guest would need for a comfortable, trouble free stay on the Gulf Coast. We have a fine management company who look after the home in our absence, and guests are constantly remarking on how clean and well maintained Little Palms Villa is. We have televisions in most rooms, a Bose sound system connected to the one in the in the main living room and radios and sound systems throughout the home. Our fully equipped kitchen means that the occasional evening at home is a must, with dining areas in the kitchen, dining room and outside on the tiled patio area beside the pool. We provide a regularly replaced gas BBQ at no charge to guests (including gas). There are five sun loungers beside the heated pool which has underwater lighting to enable evening swimming and is under a lanai screen.
Fully air-conditioned, the home is a great base for families or even couples to spend time in comfort while exploring the great facilities in the locality. These include the pure quartz sandy beach and town of Siesta Key, the stylish city of Sarasota ( both reached within half an hours drive of Sabal Harbour) and the beautiful Anna Maria Island with its quaint 'Key West' feel and miles of clean beaches.
