We rented this property to work from FL for ten days. The location was 35 minutes from Tampa airport, the area is beautiful, we took walks each day. Extremely clean! Met John while moving in, very friendly and helpful. Pool is not heated, so a January stay did not include swimming, but the back yard area is private and glorious! We used the kayaks and loved the quick access to the canals and bayou. Kitchen could use a few more pans, utensils for a long stay, but we made due. Couldn't find a blow dryer, but never checked back to see if one had been listed. Nice to have the W/D on site. It is about a 40 minute drive to any of the beaches, we went several times. Great restaurants and bars downtown Sarasota & Anna Maria Beach. We hit Seahut (3 minute drive), Ugly Grouper, Tide Tables (Our fave!!), Beachouse Restaurant and Fins at Sharky's in Venice FL. We also grilled several times. Highly recommend this place.
