Family Trip
Loved our stay at this house! The home was immaculate, the linens were hotel quality, and we had everything we needed. Although on a busy corner, the location was convenient to the bay and to morning coffee and ice cream! We traveled with our 4 and 2yo and it was very family friendly and had kids books for them to look at and we didn't have to do much "kid proofing" when we got there. We ate most meals under the gazebo which was a great perk! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

So convenient!
The house was lovely and comfortable - perfect for our family of 3. Towels and kitchen cooking utensils were provided (no spices). The location - yards from Bayfront Public Beach and an 8-minute relaxed walk to the white sands of Bean Point Beach - was so good. The only major detractor is unchangeable - the portion of Bayfront Beach closest to the house has been contracted out to a sand bagging and gravel company by the city. So the views to the water are entirely obstructed and there's a constant beep-beep of large construction vehicles backing up with their loads throughout the weekly 9-5 pm, which makes relaxing outdoors a challenge. However, convenience and charm overcame that irritation. It was a great vacation!

Cute getaway
It was a nice getaway from nys…very close to the beach and where the trolly can grab you….only thing that was a damper was the internet cutting in and out daily…we managed and went out and did stuff just sucked towards the end of the night….other than that it was amazing!☺️

Nice Place!
"Comfortable Home on a Busy Street Corner" This home was open and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs...........pots & pans, dinnerware, etc. We were able to use the Gazebo any time of day as it was shaded and breezy. The home sits on a sometimes busy street corner. Across the street a sand bagging company was in operation Monday - Friday from 9AM to 4 PM. At times there was a lot of noise and congestion. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Great Location, Clean Property
We stayed at the property for a week for our "babymoon" - I'm 7 months pregnant and really appreciated the very short walk to the beach! Property was very clean and tidy - I would definitely anticipate bringing all of your own needs besides towels and soap - One roll of TP was provided in each of the bathrooms, which was called out in the check in instructions but not the listing, not to mention it being one-ply. Not a huge deal since we had to do some shopping for the week anyway, but these details can really make a difference! Maybe once more guests stay at the property, more essentials will accumulate, like spices (salt and pepper) and so forth. Living room could use some more up-to-date games as well (I don't anticipate many families using the trivial pursuit game) but it's a good start. Plenty of room and communication with property managers was thorough - even got an early check in, which was appreciated since we drove 20 ish hours down.

Great new rental!
We found and booked Shore's Nice last minute. The house has been recently remodeled and landscaped and is very nice & clean. The location is great being on the north end of the island and close to everything up there. There is a nice view of the water from the house & gazebo because the house is across the street from the Bay and there is a park that runs all of the way down to Anna Maria Pier so there are no homes, looking diagonally to the right, in front of the house. We also enjoyed eating breakfast on the gazebo and lounging on the chaises in front of the house & looking at the water. We would definitely stay here again.
