This house was perfect for a week of exploring the area by foot, bike, car, and/or boat. I ran 1.5 miles to the beach each morning with a safe, gorgeous view over the bridge to Manasota Key. Location couldn’t have been better for everything - grocery store and ice cream shop were less than 5 mins away. We explored by boat and paddle board every day. The waters are gorgeous and Stump Pass and the pass to the Gulf aren’t far. The views while cooking and eating were so nice - always a dolphin or a bird. We enjoyed the screened in pool (with tons of toys!) and the outdoor seating by the waters edge. The house is stocked with all the basics. Beds and sheets were comfy. Plenty of beach towels. The teenage boys loved having their own house (aka the apartment). A bonus, Amelia was very accommodating and super responsive. We loved staying here for the week.
