Manatee Home - Water Front Pool Home

Three spacious bedrooms, beautiful kitchen, large dining table for eating and puzzles, magnificent patio with pool, on the Intercoastal Waterway looking at dolphins and boats and jet skis. Several blue herons annd egrets visited us on our patio every day for hours, then pooped annd left. Out the front and across a small parking lot was The Gulf for swimming, boogie boarding, skim boarding and watching sunsets. As we are getting old, this was our final month long trip to Florida. We had a revolving door of people every week, all women ranging in age from 46 to 78 with one lone 9 year old grandson for a week who loved being surrounded by women. He was spoiled rotten. It was the the most wonderful and amazing end to our 25 years of coming to Florida. We hit all our favorite watering holes and restaurants. The beach walks in the morning and around the neighborhood were exciting just looking at the water and all the various architecture of the houses and spending time at the dog beach. Best Location in the Nation and a beach bar 1/4 mile away serving 3 dollar cheeseburgers all day every day. What could be better than that!

The home was exactly as pictured. All the furnishings looked brand new and the home was very spacious. The view from the patio was stunning looking at the Intercoastal where Henrietta the great blue heron visited us on the dock several times. Mandy, the white egret came almost every day. The dolphins also visited several times a day. The pool was clean, heated, and refreshing. The neighborhood was delightfully quiet, but easily accessible to both Caddy’s Grill and the Kai-Tiki for the 3$ cheeseburgers. The beach access was just across the parking lot in the front yard for watching the sunsets. After only being there 2 days, I already booked it for a month again next year. The accessibility to the bars, restaurants, and venues from St. Pete Beach and north to Clearwater is perfect. The gas grill was also a bonus. I’ve traveled to the gulf coast for 25 years and this is my favorite.

Very pleased with the home. Great job with renovations. You cannot beat a home on the water and a few steps away from the beach. Tucked away from the tourist parts. We were sad to leave

Now to the Manatee Home: It is the most beautiful place for a vacation you can imagine. In this house, there is nothing wrong. The equipment is comfortable and luxurious. It left nothing to be desired. The pool is clean and refreshing, it was maintained and cleaned weekly. From the fishing dock we could watch dolphins and manatees every day.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this home it's convenience to beach and everything as well as being on the bay with a heated pool made it outstanding.
There were a few minor issues that the manager took care of immediately.
We would have preferred the masrpter bath have shower rather than a jacuzzi tub but it was manageable.
We would stay there again in a heartbeat if available.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the first time our vacation was this long. We were very pleased with the home we stayed in. Dolphins swimming under the dock, cranes, ducks, all types of birds sitting on the dock and in the pool were a joy watch. My grandsons thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the openness of the floor plan. Everyone had such a great time with the beach across the street that it was hard to lack up and come home.

We enjoyed sunning on the patio, exercising in the pool, watching pelicans & dolphins from our patio, and walking across the road to the ocean. Daily walks to the Caddy Shack was a highlight.
The Resort Rental people were awesome and always available if we had a question. We would definitely come back.
