Soccer play and stay

We were here for a soccer tournament at the IMG. House was 15 minutes from the facilities and had all we needed to relax and regenerate for the next day. Wish we had a longer stay to enjoy some sunshine at the pool! Next time!

Our anniversary

The property was very clean and comfortable. Our only issue was that we paid ahead of time for the pool to be heated, We arrived on Saturday and left on Sunday. We arrived at 6 pm and the pool wasn't heated. We contacted staff and they sent someone out the next morning. All in all it was a great stay. Our only issue was that we wanted the pool heated as soon as we arrived and we didn't have that luxury.

Great Location to beaches!

This was a Christmas getaway to visit family. We wanted to be close to to Anna Maria Island and beaches with a friendly price point. The location was perfect you could easily drive to the beaches in 10 minutes. The house was very very clean with a beautiful kitchen and very well stocked. The master bedroom was large with a comfortable king bed. The 3rd bedroom with 2 twin beds was extremely small and the twin beds were not very comfortable for my 14 year old or sister in law. My suggestion if renting this home 3rd bedroom needs to be used for small children. There is a pull out king in the sunroom we would have used however the mattress needs to be replaced. Overall we had an excellent stay, we would highly recommend this property. The pool is great, wish the weather would have been a little warmer but we still had a great time. The property management is very attentive to details and requests.
