Perfect location and home for our short stay. Easy access to St. Petersburg and Tampa. The immediate area and the restaurants/shops in Bradenton were diverse and delicious. The house is lovely and the pool is fantastic. The pool is easy to access with warm water, beautiful surroundings and endless fun.

Very peaceful and cozy retreat. We were in town for a martial arts seminar for my son. The house was a welcome break. My wife loved the decor. Our only regret was we weren't able to spend more time there.

Nice property.

Really enjoyed our 2 day stay. If I can make a few comments...bbq grill caught fire (!) and needs to be cleaned. As a homeowner myself, I would recommend cleaning the debris off the roofs-especially the pool house. I would definitely stay there again.

Comfortable cottage on somewhat busy street in Palmetto. Within reach of Bradenton beaches and near a couple nice nature preserves. Pool was always the perfect temperature and poolside offered sunny lounging. Communication with hosts was easy and helpful.

Awesome place and property owner Steve

Everything was wonderful; Steve was super responsive to my questions and truly cares about people staying at there place. The pool was super clean and just the right temperature for day or night swimming. The small house was super as I am a grandpa and was treating my daughter family; in the evening when I got tired I had a great place to go and relax. Thank’s Steve for sharing your great place.

Clean and comfortable

Property is nicely renovated. Beds in main house are very comfortable. Small, heated pool was perfect for relaxing after the beach. Location on corner got busy sometimes but it's very convenient to Palmetto attractions and much of Bradenton. It was fun to sit on the front porch at night. We would stay here again.
