Kristen’s property is wonderful! This was our 2nd stay at the house. It has everything you could want-clean, quiet and relaxing! Our dogs love it too. If you want to stay out in the country and away from the crowds of Bradenton this is your place.

We chose this area as it was minutes from town and surrounding attractions on a beautiful partial of waterfront land.
