We really enjoyed our short stay for our teen daughter's lacrosse tournament. I'm a bit of a bed snob, and I the king in the master was awesome for sleeping. The entire property was very clean and well appointed. The hot tub in the back was a nice little bonus. The house is located in a very quiet neighborhood, yet close to some nice restaurants in walking distance. Overall we had a great stay!

Not only a beautifully restored classic home, but an excellent location! We loved the front porch, beds were super comfortabl, spacious and well equipped. Nice to have a hot tub and the bikes provided as this is a great biking area. The hosts provided a nice welcome basket and the kitchen, along with all the rooms, was well equipped. We walked to town (arts and craft show on the weekend) and along the beautiful Bradenton Riverwalk. We caught a the ferry over to AMI and had a great time kayaking down on Lido Island. It was a great way to end the year.

Lovely home in the middle of Brandenton

The house was perfectly stocked with necessities; clean and tidy, and very spacious and well laid out. We felt very comfortable there and enjoyed all the house had to offer. Thank you for having this little treasure tucked away for us to enjoy; one of the best VRBO homes I have stayed in by far.

What a beautiful home! All the little touches make our getaway feel like home away from home. The property was exactly as described- clean, comfortable and well equipped. Home is beautifully decorated. We especially loved the screened in porch, backyard w hot tub and gazebo w lights. Short walk to the marina and Riverwalk that we took advantage of every morning. Highly recommend!!
