**Ask for more details about heating the pool and spa**
*Pool heaters in private homes are locked for your safety and controls must not be tampered with as they are monitored by the pool company. 85° is the highest heat temperature setting. Pool temperatures will probably stay around 76° during the winter months. Please note if cold days occur, water temperatures will drop and may take longer to heat.
Wonderful place!! Plenty of space but cozy and welcoming. Comfortable beds, two sets of washer/dryers, outdoor kitchen….. would definitely recommend this to friends and family!!
What a great property that fit our group of 12 very nicely. This house has it all and is well cared for. Some confusion about the door codes which were promptly handled. Great location! We hope to be back soon.
Wonderful house! Very comfortable for our family of 19. (8 adults, 11 children). Beautiful setting on Palma Sola bay close to everything one wants to do on a winter Florida vacation. The management company was Ok, and promptly responded to issues at the house. Most of the issues could’ve been handled by meeting us at Check-in on a site walk-through to learned the nuances of a 100 year old complex home with lots of moving parts (3 AC systems, Game Room with arcade, pool & spa, 2 garbage days, boat dock, etc…) The management company instead simply left a welcome book on the counter in need of updates to read. We paid a premium for this home and while the welcome book concept I’m sure works fine on a condo or smaller home, it seemed less than appropriate for this facility and it likely would’ve made our entire experience better. Overall the Plantation home provided a perfect setting to reconnect with our family during the holidays. One local area issue that goes beyond the home & management company, should be, or perhaps is already being addressed. A very popular beach/water Horseback riding experience operates adjacent to this property. The horses prance right in front of the homes waterfront. As you might expect they also leave their droppings in the water. Some of which floats all around the property’s dock and water access. We kept a boat and 2 kayaks at the property and frequently found ourselves dodging floating horse droppings. I can’t imagine that the Horseback riding company has no lean-up responsibility? Before we book this home again we will want some assurance that this issue is addressed.
Our 8 adults and 2 toddlers had plenty of elbow room in this well furnished home with a beautiful sunset view. There were pool toys and yard games as well as a pool heated to 83 and a spa that warmed to 104 in about an hour. Benefits included a small sandy area to launch our rented kayaks, boat loads of pool towels and plentiful chef tools. In the kitchen we found a hand mixer, blender, roasting pan, stock pots, buffet warming tray, pod and drip coffee pots, toaster and crock pots. There were both indoor and outdoor dinnerware sets and barware. The property manager was awesome, being attentive to my requests and taking ownership in wanting the home to present in its best light, as if it were her own. Its location is about 4 miles from the nearest Gulf beach - offering a quiet, peaceful environment to enjoy the 180 degree water views while still being a short drive to the celebration vibe of AMI. Even during Thanksgiving week, we had little trouble finding parking once on Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach.
Perfect family friendly home with an amazing porch overlooking the bay. Would definitely recommend for a large multigenerational gathering!
Filled our togetherness and entertainment expectations.
Everything was amazing, loved every single thing about this house, we will absolutely be back!!!
The home is beautiful with a lot of things to do right on the property, with a short drive to the beach as well as the grocery store. We loved the old and the new characteristics in the home. The family all had a wonderful time while staying here. Our family made many great memories during our stay!
Will definitely be back!
Overall the house was great for our family. Plenty of room. The upstairs was updated as the down stairs living area was not like the photos. The furniture had stains and the house needs some up keep on the bottom level. The porch and pool area was fantastic. This is where we spent most of our time. The dock was great due to we rented a boat for the week. A disclaimer that the water is not swimmable in the back of the house would have been good to know. Bacteria and horses go back and forth all day. The water hose on the dock does not work. We had to buy light bulbs for the pool table area due to several were out. The host was very quick to help with the washer going out and had it fixed same day. Overall the house was great and we enjoyed the stay. One suggestion a additional large fridge for the garage
Beautiful
From the time we arrived until the time we left this house was great. There was plenty of room for everyone and the guest house over the garage was great! I have no complaints.
