Our family vacation at this VRBO home was phenomenal!! This immaculate home is well-designed, amazingly well-equipped, and cupboards well-labeled. Beds were super comfy. Nina has everything a family needs for the beach - cooler, beach chairs, umbrellas and many beach toys. The well-heated pool was so clean and just the right size for a family.
Location here is everything! We were 3 min from Robinson Preserve - great for running and hiking. The kids loved its Nest Playground and climbing the tower. We enjoyed walking DeSoto National Memorial and Botanical Gardens nearby. We loved Bradenton Riverwalk and dining at Pier 22 there. Riverwalk's playground was great and our family loved watching the dolphins right by it. Sweet Berries custard ice cream was our go-to afterwards!
We loved the access to nearby beaches on Anna Maria Island. We went to Bradenton Beach and Coquina Beach. Our family fished at the North Pier (Rod and Reel) on AMI and the south jetty of Coquina Beach. We all loved the food at AMI Oyster Bar.
We also enjoyed downtown Sarasota's and St. Armand's shops, eating fresh fish at Walt's Rest., driving on Long Boat Key, Bayfront Park, St. Pete's Pier, Marietta Museum, and Ringling Museum (art gallery free on Mondays).
Nina was very easy to communicate with and worked hard to ensure everything was perfect for our family. I can't say enough good things about our wonderful experience here!! We are so very excited to return!
Thank you to Nina and her husband!
