3-bedroom waterfront pool house in Manatee Bay. BYOB: Bring your own boat

We definitely recommend this beautiful house. The rooms are large, with an open concept and the three sets of sliders lead out to the pool (heated) area. Everything was clean, the beds are comfortable and the showers had very good water pressure. The kitchen has plenty of appliances that you might need, spices, etc. Brian responded quickly to our cpl of questions. We sadly didn’t have a boat, but we enjoyed going out to the boat lift on the canal out back to watch the manatees. There are plenty of good restaurants on either end of the island and central, many with live music throughout the day. We spent a month there, would love to move in ;)

Check in was easy and host gave clear instructions. Kitchen is new, perfectly supplied, lots of extras. Strong WiFi. This is a smart home and we were impressed with the preloaded detergent in the washing machine. The home is very clean and had everything you would need to cook. The grill is new. The pool was a great addition to our stay. We enjoyed the screened in area around the pool. This is a split level home. The master is private with a beautiful newly remodeled master bathroom. We were unable to use the boat lift as our boat was too large at 26ft. The community boat ramp is directly across from the home. Although we love this location for the easy access, we were unable to put our boat there. There isn’t enough room outside of the lift to tie up to the sea wall. This did not deter us from staying as we have relatives on the island and could dock at their home. Thank you Brian for being a wonderful host and sharing your home with us.

We have been renting vacation homes for years and this is the best I’ve ever stayed at. The home was even better than what the pictures showed. The house was immaculate and very well stocked with everything we needed. The owner was very attentive to anything we might need, and very quick to respond with any questions. The fishing off the dock was really good, we caught a large variety of fish including snook. We could watch manatees all day, there were so many. We will definitely be returning to this home in the future.

Overall the home was exactly as portrayed on the vrbo sight. Very nice home with all the amenities. Any minor problems were quickly taken care of by Brian and Dane.This home is in a nice neighborhood, with nice neighbors. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone considering renting it.

We found our happy place! The house is big, clean and gorgeous with premium everything. Beautiful Floors, appliances, fixtures, countertops, bidets, linens, TVs, Washer and Dryer, furniture and decor are all top of the line at this home. The pool is warm and wonderful, we used it everyday in January! I can't say enough about this place. It was perfect for us. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. The neighbors are so nice and friendly. We walked the whole neighborhood, with no worries. The dock and canal were great. We caught snook and watched manatees, saw a dolphin and a lot of other fish and birds. A very relaxing place to stay, but also very close to loads of things to do and entertainment and great places to eat. Our hosts were the best we've ever had! Brian and Dane went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful stay. The home and hosts are outstanding, in every way. Thank you for everything! We can't wait to come back!

This property was beautiful! The house accommodated our family needs perfectly. We used the pool everyday and the kitchen was the best place to make dinner. There were lots of delicious places to eat within driving distance. Our favorites were The Blue Dog, Phuzzy’s and The Waterfront. We were also able to see the manatees in the canal on several different occasions. This house made for a perfect Pine Island retreat!
