    ⭐️ SHARED MOMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS

    "Our stay here was wonderful. Very centralized to other towns. Highly recommend staying here if you need close distance to IMG Academy. Her place was clean, organized, and a great fit for our family. Nicole was responsive the entire stay with great communication. You can tell she truly cares about her guests and their experience. I know we will be back to this area shortly and plan to stay here again." -Brooke

    "Nicole was top class in hospitality and very prompt at responding, making the check in/out processes so easy. Her attention to detail from the rules/instructions to the beach equipment just shows you how much care she put into providing everything one might need. This has probably been my favorite BnB experience to date." -JJ

Great location for the cost. It was probably the cleanest and well kept place we have ever stayed. We had a wonderful stay. The only thing we found wrong with it was the grill was out of gas, but that could have just been an overbite or a leak. If we wanted to use it we would have exchanged it.

Home Away From Home

I had to stay in Bradenton for 2 weeks from out of town for a medical procedure. I was looking for something that could accommodate my large family over Christmas and was reasonably priced. Nicole’s home fit the bill. The house tread even bigger than I gathered through the pictures. It was comfortable and convenient to my doctor in Sarasota and extended family in the Palma Sola area. The house was comfortable and the perfect place to convalesce while also enjoying the Christmas holiday. We had the chance to enjoy nice restaurants at Bradenton beach and the amenities of West Bradenton. If you’re looking for a home away from home this is the place.
