The home was family friendly with the pool and plenty of things to do. Things were well labeled and had new appliances. One of the best rental properties I've stayed at.
We had a wonderful stay at Citrus Soiree, perfect for a family with children, great heated pool and patio, kitchen had all we needed. The hosts were very attentive and communicative!
The instructions leading up to our stay were concise and useful. The home itself couldn't have been more comfortable and well suited for our family's needs. We will bookmark this location for future family visits!
My family and I loved this house! We had a 2&5 year old with us and they absolutely loved the (heated!) pool, games and toys available. Every inch of the house is thought out and very functional. Can’t wait until we can plan a longer stay to come back!
Perfect Layout of the home. Love the design. Incredible for my 5 year old son with all the toys and such. Loved this house for our quick last minute trip.
Great property for a couple families to stay! So much attention to detail, themed decor & lots of nice extras such as touch lamps in the king rooms, lights for every bunk bed, digital light switches with music capability, 10 seat dining table, coffee bar, large seating area outside, fire pit & pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Don’t hesitate to stay at this lovely home. Comfort and attention to details make this a perfect choice. Homeowner was quick to respond to all my questions. Thank you Serena and your team
Everything was very nice. Owners had everything you need and then some. They have literally thought of everything. Thank you for having us. The massage chair was a big hit with the adults.
This house is perfect! The decor, the attention to detail, everything is amazing! Super clean all throughout and that's saying a lot because I'm very particular, especially with bathrooms and kitchens...spotless! Hot clean showers, convenient labels for everything and my 5 year old neice had a ball! My 17 year old son said he's been needing a vacation like this. We are already trying to find availiability so we can come back ASAP! Oh, and the beds are soooo comfy!!
Very clean and welcoming. Only a couple of minutes from local shops, restaurants and grocery stores. Less than 15 minutes from Anna Maria Beach (which is gorgeous)! Kids loves finding all of the different sea shells. Coming home and dipping into a warm pool was the perfect way to end the day❤️
This is one of the best short term rentals I’ve ever stayed in. Serena made it super easy to check in. They’ve thought of everything! My kids had books to read, toys to play with, and the pool was so nice. We didn’t even have to bring any of our normal beach items. They had everything ready for a great vacation. I hope we get a chance to stay here again soon!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was very conveniently close to anything we needed. The house was tastefully decorated and it was spotless. There were plenty of supplies for our stay. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were lovely. We loved the pool area and spent most of our time there. The pool temperature was so perfect, the best we've ever had and we've stayed at a lot of Vrbo's. The massage chair was a nice touch. We hope to return soon. Serena is the best hostess ever!! Love love love
My wife and I had the most amazing time staying at this beautiful property. This home has everything you can possibly need and the hosts were amazing!
We really appreciated the fact that the hosts not only had the bathrooms and kitchen fully stocked with everything you can possibly need but they even had coffee and snacks for us.
This home is located in the perfect area on a very safe & quiet street centrally located to everything you could possibly want including stores, grocery stores, beaches and more.
The outdoor space is amazing with a beautiful pool and so many seating areas.
The hosts were very responsive and really made us feel at home. We would highly recommend this home of your planned g to vacation in beautiful sunny Florida!
We will definitely be back!
Top notch host, every imaginable amenity, extremely clean and super fun! We hosted a 15th birthday sleepover for my daughter & 8 friends. They had the best time taking photos all around the house and swimming in the pool. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and enough extra blankets for everyone. The space is well thought out and the video games were a fun extra touch. Love Ms. Pac-Man! Oh and my husband loved the massage chair! I did reach out to find out why the pool light wasn’t working and didn’t get a response until too late but it was fine - no one cared because they were so entertained. Lol. Come the next day and we were shocked to see the host gave us a credit for not responding right away. That to me is what a true professional does and that small gesture makes us want to continue to give future business to this great host. Thank you for a wonderful time my daughter will never forget.
Really great stay for Mother’s Day weekend! Place was nice and had a ton of features, communication from host was fantastic, would 100% stay again. Overall great place for a vacation stay.
This house and the hosts were absolutely wonderful! We fell in love with the house the second we walked in the door and found new things to love throughout the week. The hosts truly thought of everything and made our stay feel like a resort with all of the upgrades and personal touches. The house is beautifully decorated, all of the beds were so comfortable, the bathrooms were like a spa and had built-in Bluetooth speakers that my kids loved, and the outdoor area with pool, hot tub, fire pit, etc. was like a little oasis. I truly could not have asked for a better place for our family vacation. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and responsive as well. 10/10 stay and would definitely book this place again. Beaches were a quick 15 min drive away. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
From the very first communication with the host ,Serena, I knew this was where I wanted to hold our family retreat following my father's Veteran's memorial service. Serena was so compassionate and sensitive to the nature of our gathering and offered so many kind and supportive words leading up to and throughout our stay. But let me tell you..., WOW! Her home was absolutely the most perfect and beautiful setting for our large family gathering.We were all able to spend quality time together and still have plenty of space to ourselves and not feel like we were on top of one another. She literally thought of EVERYTHING! The attention to detail in decor, amenities and cleanliness can not be matched. I have mixed emotions about leaving this review. It desrves every bit of a five star plus rating but I find myself wanting to keep this little gem to myself.. ha ha.. Bottom line, do not hesitate to book this amazing property. You will NOT be dissapointed! Thank you Serena for everything. I feel like I made a new friend!
