This property was perfect for us and our 2 Labrador retrievers. Spacious, clean, privacy fence completely enclosed backyard and host had dishes and treats ready for the pups arrival. The pool was well kept, clean and several pool & beach toys were available to use. Great neighborhood for walking the dogs and felt safe going for a jog.The appliances were all in good working condition. Kitchen was great for making our food and with grocery store 5 minutes away, it was very convenient. Host was very responsive and accommodating. Very easy to work with. This is a great place for families with kids and or fur babies.

Although we didn’t have sunshine while in town it was still a lively short visit. Maggie had anything we needed at her rental and was very easy to communicate with. Her home is older but well cared for with new appliances and a well stocked kitchen. Beds are firm, living room furniture comfy and very nice heated pool. Would love to return for a longer stay. Easy to get to the beach from her neighborhood. Only about 7 miles away.

We stayed here for 5 nights and from the very start Maggie was wonderful! I have no idea what I was thinking by booking a 6 am flight (getting to the house around 11 am) with a 3 and 10 year old but I reached out and thankful the house was already ready for us so she let us check in early! She was already saving our trip lol! Her communication was awesome and she was very fast to respond if things were needed. We only had 1 issue arise but it was fixed in less than 24 hours and was perfect after that! The queen bed was most comfortable IMO but I am a bit of a bed snob haha! Also if you’re a light sleeper, I would suggest bringing some ear plugs just in case because there is *some* traffic noise. The pool is phenomenal! We spent a lot of time in it. There are pool toys and floats available as well. The only things I would change if I could would be the lighting at night. The outlets are controlled by switches which is fine and just a nuance of the house but we kept forgetting which went to which light/plug. It would also help to have some black out/noise cancelling curtains in the bedrooms. Would definitely stay here again!! I cannot sing Maggie’s praises enough! She was a blessing and we enjoyed our stay!!

This was the perfect place for our family to stay at during our vacation. It was very clean and everything that you could need was supplied in the house (pool toys, towels, toiletries, dishes, laundry essentials, kids toys/board games, extra blankets, etc). The neighborhood was quiet and was close to grocery stores, restaurants, and it was close to multiple beaches. Maggie was an incredible host; her hospitality was beyond amazing! Tropical storm Debby happened in the middle of our stay, but the house held up nicely and Maggie made sure to check on us and our wellbeing. She was even kind enough to leave me a little birthday present. Maggie’s property may just become our go-to place to stay at when we travel to Florida. I highly recommend staying here! :)

Our stay here was amazing! Maggie is so thoughtful! We had everything we needed for our stay. Check in was simple and the house was clean. The beds were comfortable as well. The house is in the perfect location for quick access to Anna Maria Island. A previous review mentioned heavy traffic in the area but during the week and weekend the traffic was average for a neighborhood. The house set on a corner lot, right at a 4-way stop, in a neighborhood. The area was quiet throughout the day and night. I will say that we enjoyed the pool the most! It was nice and relaxing and the screened in patio helped us stay cool while relaxing during the hottest part of the day.

Nice house for our family of 4. Beautiful back yard with in ground pool. Plenty of cooking supplies, utensils and a nice grill in the back. Very responsive… washer broke and a new one was delivered within 2 days. Plenty of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and coolers. Approximately 25 minute drive to Holmes Beach. House is located at a busy intersection. Bedrooms could use light canceling blinds. Overall, we had a great stay!

I loved this home and would like to buy one just like it when I retire and move. back to Florida full time. It was cozy and just the spot we needed while we had a laid back vacation in the sun. The pool was an added bonus and the back yard was a virtual paradise. In addition, the owner Maggie was wonderful and accommodating. There were plenty of towels, shampoos, conditioners, paper products, and essentially anything you might need on a vacation. I loved every minute being in this beautiful location which was central to many great restaurants and activities. I honestly cannot wait to go back. Thank you so much Maggie:)

My wife and I stayed Apr 25 - May 2, 2024. There may comments on be on a busy road, and while that's true, it did not bother us at all, and I would rather have the street next to the house than another house. The neighborhood was very quiet (people, not cars) and the house behind is very close and sound travels over the fence. The house is a little older with only 1 bathroom, which was fine for the 2 of us. We really liked the screened in porch and the chairs in and out were comfortable. There were many items in the garage to use in the pool, but we also took chairs to the beach when went. The pool was very nice with both steps and a ladder. We thought the location was just about perfect for eating in Bradenton or going to Anna Maria Island. We would not hesitate to stay there again in a future visit.

Tropical storm Debby happened in the middle of our stay, but the house held up nicely and Maggie made sure to check on us and our wellbeing.

We stayed here for 5 nights and from the very start Maggie was wonderful! I have no idea what I was thinking by booking a 6 am flight (getting to the house around 11 am) with a 3 and 10 year old but I reached out and thankful the house was already ready for us so she let us check in early! She was already saving our trip lol! Her communication was awesome and she was very fast to respond if things were needed. We only had 1 issue arise but it was fixed in less than 24 hours and was perfect after that! The queen bed was most comfortable IMO but I am a bit of a bed snob haha! Also if you’re a light sleeper, I would suggest bringing some ear plugs just in case because there is *some* traffic noise. The pool is phenomenal! We spent a lot of time in it. There are pool toys and floats available as well. The only things I would change if I could would be the lighting at night. The outlets are controlled by switches which is fine and just a nuance of the house but we kept forgetting which went to which light/plug. It would also help to have some black out/noise cancelling curtains in the bedrooms. Would definitely stay here again!! I cannot sing Maggie’s praises enough! She was a blessing and we enjoyed our stay!!

Maggie The Host was the most wonderful host we've ever had. Are stay there was during hurricane Ian and she was incredible our safety was her first concern. I could go on and on about how great she was. I would recommend any of her rentals to anyone.

Nice house for our family of 4. Beautiful back yard with in ground pool. Plenty of cooking supplies, utensils and a nice grill in the back. Very responsive… washer broke and a new one was delivered within 2 days. Plenty of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and coolers. Approximately 25 minute drive to Holmes Beach. House is located at a busy intersection. Bedrooms could use light canceling blinds. Overall, we had a great stay!

Our stay here was amazing! Maggie is so thoughtful! We had everything we needed for our stay. Check in was simple and the house was clean. The beds were comfortable as well. The house is in the perfect location for quick access to Anna Maria Island. A previous review mentioned heavy traffic in the area but during the week and weekend the traffic was average for a neighborhood. The house set on a corner lot, right at a 4-way stop, in a neighborhood. The area was quiet throughout the day and night. I will say that we enjoyed the pool the most! It was nice and relaxing and the screened in patio helped us stay cool while relaxing during the hottest part of the day.

Although we didn’t have sunshine while in town it was still a lively short visit. Maggie had anything we needed at her rental and was very easy to communicate with. Her home is older but well cared for with new appliances and a well stocked kitchen. Beds are firm, living room furniture comfy and very nice heated pool. Would love to return for a longer stay. Easy to get to the beach from her neighborhood. Only about 7 miles away.

We enjoyed our stay in this house. It’s in a quiet neighborhood but on a busy road. The house had everything we needed. The pool was enjoyed by our kids. Communication with the owner was stellar! I would recommend!

My wife and I stayed Apr 25 - May 2, 2024. There may comments on be on a busy road, and while that's true, it did not bother us at all, and I would rather have the street next to the house than another house. The neighborhood was very quiet (people, not cars) and the house behind is very close and sound travels over the fence. The house is a little older with only 1 bathroom, which was fine for the 2 of us. We really liked the screened in porch and the chairs in and out were comfortable. There were many items in the garage to use in the pool, but we also took chairs to the beach when went. The pool was very nice with both steps and a ladder. We thought the location was just about perfect for eating in Bradenton or going to Anna Maria Island. We would not hesitate to stay there again in a future visit.

Maggie was quick to respond to any and all questions. The house is perfectly located between Tampa and Sarasota. Pool was fantastic.. clean perfect temp. The house itself could use a little updating, ( the frame to the screen door to the pool area is detached, and the door handle to the front storm door fell off, a few other little things...) but we weren't concerned with it. Kitchen is fully equipped. She has every amenity for the beach and outdoor fun you can imagine... it was very appreciated!! We mostly wanted a place to chill by the pool when we weren't out and about. For us, it was perfect.
