Cockroaches

It was good, water pressure was terrible could barely rinse hair out. Found cockroaches on last day… killed one and found many more after looking. So gross! Stay was good till we found the bugs! Front door was not sealed well, maybe get new door trim. Bedroom WiFi (across from bathroom) was not working, could not watch tv or movies in there.

Comfy Pool Paradise

The second I saw pictures of the pool, I knew I wanted to stay at this property, and it did not disappoint! The week we stayed was hot and stormy and I was grateful for the relaxing pool waters and cool air conditioning. There is plenty of comfortable furniture inside the house to lounge on. The kitchen is fully stocked with kitchen wares. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

A Slice of Paradise in Paradise!

The house is lovely, with a beautiful back room, plenty of natural light, and a fabulous backyard with a lovely pool. Close by to all accommodations needed for an enjoyable stay. Within 15 minutes from the extraordinary beaches of Anna Maria Island and 30 minutes of the beaches and downtown Sarasota. Just 20-30 minutes from the SRQ airport. I highly recommend this property for 4 to 6 people.

Florida visit

The house was clean and plenty of room for the 5 of us staying. The tv in one of the rooms we could not get to work and when it did come on it was glitching. Other than that we have no complaints. It was a very nice stay and I would recommend this house.

Unique & Enjoyable

Very impressed by this property. The original part of the house is older but a nice job has been done on the remodel. The addition on the back is fantastic - very open and airy. The backyard is like a resort and very private. The neighborhood is older but is fairly centrally located.

Just what we needed

Everything was as pictured if not better. Home is very spacious and open. Outside living area and pool were just what we needed in the evenings after running around town. Loved that the plant life was on the outside line of the property and rocks were around pool which cut down on the mosquitos tremendously. When we come back to the area we will definitely be staying here again. Property had everything we needed plus and iTrip was very responsive with any questions we had.

Wonderful winter holiday

This property was great. The backyard with pool and hot tub were amazing. The house was very large, perfect for everyone to spread out. It was so convenient having beach gear provided, and a washer and dryer to clean up post beach. We had a slight miscommunication about the pool being heated, but that was corrected quickly. The only complaints were that the beds were uncomfortable, and the water pressure in the showers was weak. But overall, I would love to stay at this house again. It was perfect for the price we paid!

Backyard Oasis

We loved our stay here as a family of 5! The majority of our time was spent in the pool here - the backyard is large, private and the heated pool and hot tub were perfect for us and our kiddos ages 5-8. The home is clean, updated and had many amenities that made it feel like home which we greatly appreciated. Bed sheets and towels were soft and beds were comfortable! Very open layout and tastefully decorated. It felt so peaceful here. If I’m being picky, I should mention that the home has very minor quirks; no en-suite bathroom for the master and one step up/down in places that are inconvenient (from master to nearest bathroom). Bradenton traffic was far busier than we expected so make sure to give yourself ample time when going a mile or two down the road. Outside of those minor inconveniences we loved being here and would definitely come back.
