Wonderful restaurants, shopping, gorgeous beaches, Anna Maria Island, St Armands Circle, Longboat Key, Lido Key Beach, downtown Sarasota and the airport are all within 10-20 minutes. IMG Academy is less than 5 miles away.

We have never personally been to a more magical place! The kayaking is amazing with nature views and the most tranquil canals that stretch for miles! The canal leads to the Gulf of Mexico and you will be thrilled at all the wildlife that call it home here. You will not be disappointed!! Relax and float on our 4 kayaks (one is a double), one Paddle board, also you can bring your own boat or rent one.

Wonderful fishing! Feel free to use one of our fishing rods. There are flying fish such as Mullet, Snook etc. and so many different kinds of birds, turtles and of course manatee families who live here!! Friendly blue herons are fed by neighbors and they are so tame that they will follow you around the yard wanting to make friends with you (don't be scared they would never hurt you).

Swim in the saltwater pool and in the evening, relax by the fire pit with a glass of wine. You won't ever want to leave!

In the garage, you will find tons of beach equipment, Tommy Bahama chairs, umbrellas, toys, floats, coolers, etc. There are also 2 adult bikes, yard and beach games for children, an Arcade machine with 60 games to choose from, Foos Ball machine and a gorgeous bar. (The garage is NOT air conditioned though and we ask that you keep the inside door closed.)

For those with limited mobility, we have a shower seat, walker and a sturdy cane for your use. Our one level home is perfect for entertaining young and old! We also have a pack-n-play and a high chair for little ones.

Pets are welcome for a fee, depending on number, size of pet and length of stay. Please let us know if you are planning on bringing your fur babies in advance.

As Super Hosts, we have welcomed guests to our vacation homes for over 21 years and this home is one of our favorites! We cannot wait to share it with you!

Amazing family trip
The kitchen, the patio, the pool, everything was just perfect! We stayed with our five children and there wasn’t a day that the kids didn’t enjoy the pool! We did manage to see a manatee swim by and the kids were so excited! The whole time we were staying there, we kept commenting on how peaceful it was! The house was immaculate and had everything and I mean EVERYTHING you need for a vacation. We will definitely be staying again.

Amazing!!!
The house was absolutely beautiful and the view of the lake was relaxing and AMAZING. The host was lovely and very attentive to our every need. We really enjoyed the pool and house is stocked with everything you need. The grill needed cleaning due to the other guests that have enjoyed the house and Bonnie sent someone right over to take care of it. If you’re looking for a good, relaxing vacation definitely book this house. Thanks again Bonnie and Patrick for an AMAZING vacation.

Beautiful sanctuary
The check in process was simple and Bonnie was a delight to speak to. The entire back of the house is glass and overlooks the pool and canal, where we spotted manatees. The home was well stocked and immaculate. Our 3 teens loved the over sized pool and large living area. The entire home was updated and very homey. We will be back soon!

There were toys and floats for our use. The kids also took out the kayaks and went up the canal. Had plenty of life jackets. Our favorite VRBO so far. Close to the beaches.

Fantastic Vacation House
Wonderful place all around! Very nicely updated, conveniently located about 10 minutes from the airport. Had everything we needed for our almost 2 year old as well with the plates, high chair, and pack and play. Wildlife scene was great with the ducks, flying fish, herrons and we saw the manatees on our 2nd day. The pool was a great place to hang out while our child napped. Close to a lot of stores and restaurants. Loved the Tamiami taco spot less than a mile away. Easy trips to Siesta Key and Bradenton beach as well. Great communication from the owners throughout! Would definitely recommend this place and hope to return for another trip!

Christmas in Florida
What a perfect property for our family Christmas! With 3 grandchildren traveling with us, the Christmas decorations were a very nice touch. The house is amazing and the hosts are even better. After inquiring about child size life jackets, Bonnie purchased 4 in varying sizes to accommodate our needs. Wow! Bonnie also checked in with us to see if we needed anything and offered recommendations when we had questions about the area. Daily kayak rides down the canal, fishing successes (a huge snook caught by my son-in-law) and family foosball tournaments were enjoyed by the entire family. Definitely recommend this property!

Manatee
We had a great time and enjoyed the house, especially the back area. Peaceful, quiet, nice. My mother, 80 yrs old, was able to navigate with her walker around the house very easily. We were able to see the manatees every day, they are very active in their feeding, they visited the area twice a day. Location is very close to Sarasota, about 15 minutes away. Very convenient to grocery stores, and restaurants. The house was equipped with everything you need, and Bonnie is great, communicated immediately with her responses. This was a wonderful experience and highly recommend this vacation rental.

Amazing and relaxing stay
My husband and I stayed at this beautiful home with our youngest son (age 8), our two oldest sons, their wives and our two grandchildren (both 11 months old). There was so much to do at the house that pleased everyone in our family, including the babies. The pool was a great time for all us, especially with the heat wave that occurred during our stay. It was great spending the day in Sarasota or on Anna Maria Island, and then jumping in the pool when we got back. The kitchen was huge with anything you needed to have a meal in. There was a high chair for the babies to use, as well as a pack and play. The beds were very comfortable. And the bathrooms were beautiful, especially in the master bedroom. We definitely recommend this home if you are vacationing in the area!

Great Time!
We had a great time in this beautiful home. The views we saw as soon as we opened the door was wonderful! The house was spacious and had everything we could need. We spend most of our time outside in the pool area and fishing off the dock. We saw manatees everyday, which we loved! Although we saw lots of fish they were not enticed by our hook. LOL Lots of birds and ducks to see also. When you were in the back - it was so quiet and peaceful that you forgot you were in town and so close to everything. We really appreciated all the little touches and felt right at home! Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!

Amazing 2 week stay!
We chose this location based on its canal/waterfront. We stayed for 2 weeks. The location is ideal, close to Sarasota airport, IMG, aquarium, Anna Marie, and many more. The home is as the pictures show, very comfortable and very well appointed. There wasn’t a time I looked for something and didn’t find it available. The canal is calm and we saw many heron, cormorants, manatees, mullets jumping and massive tarpon. The kayaks and paddle boards were a bonus way to explore the area, it is easy to get out in and out with the waterfront landing. Our favorite was to sit on the back porch/upper lanai and soak in the sun. Master bedroom is very private from the other bedrooms. Neighborhood is very quiet. Would love to return!

Immaculate is how we described this property. The minute we walked in we knew we picked the perfect home and it will be a great stay. Fully stocked kitchen, lots of towels, snacks were a plus, beach items..you name it, they have it. Our boys immediately took advantage of the kayaks & paddle boards and enjoyed every minute of it. After a few hours from Siesta key beach, we enjoyed the pool and the deck overlooking the canal. We also like having a handy list of places to checkout and restaurants nearby. The best part: Bonnie & Patrick were very responsive and went above and beyond our expectations. We HIGHLY recommend this rental property, you will never regret. We can’t wait to be back soon and stay longer.
