Also frequenting our property are pelicans, cranes, parrots, and osprey.
Property has a back yard and lots of palm trees thru-out full of fresh coconuts. Located on Snead Island a small community where you can ride our included bicycles, also on the Island is Emerson Point Nature Preserve– map / info attached.

Awesome home with a million dollar view and unmatched pool/hot tub.
The home was awesome. Very quiet neighborhood and close access to the walking trail. The pool/hot tub and bar is unmatched. Great for relaxing and taking in the million dollar view. Never got old drinking coffee and checking out the sunrise over the bay.

Fabulous house
What a fabulous house. Pictures don't do it justice. When we arrived, we were greeted by 3 dolphins (who visited us everyday). We spent most of our time in the outdoor space, as it had everything we needed. The house was very spacious and lovely. Would definitely stay here again!

Stunning Sunrises & Perfect Pool
We enjoyed our recent stay at Cynthia and Todd's home on Snead Island. The property is convenient to Bradenton, shopping and restaurants. We stayed there with my parents and teenage son and enjoyed the stunning sunsets, water views and amazing pool/lanai area. Our hosts were generous with supplies including paper products and soaps/shampoos/detergents. A rare find these days. They even allowed us to leave extra and left over food in the fridge which we appreciated. They were very responsive to any questions we had and are genuinely nice people, who care about the guest experience. We hope to be back next year!

A great property on Snead island
Friends and family stayed here for one week. Great property w a fantastic location. Wonderful pool and hot tub along w kayaks, fishing equipment and views! Property manager was extremely responsive. The house was clean but it a bit fatigued and should have been better prepared ie no personal items around and better linens. Highly recommended for a Florida vacation.

Fantastic waterfront property
Group of friends had wonderful 8 days. We hired a boat and kept it on the dock, heading out by boat for lunch every day followed by hot tub and pool and then dinner at the house. The house was clean and well equipped and Todd was an excellent host. Would definitely go back again. We spent one afternoon in Sarasota and one in St Petersberg - both were easy drives. Great value for a large waterfront property.

Amazing Pool and Spa
If you want a relaxing stay with expansive waterviews, look no further! My husband and I along with his sister and daughter stayed at this home for a long weekend and had a great time. Home is spacious and well stocked so you don't need to run to grocery store to buy everything like others I have stayed at. Interior decoration is a little out of date but it really doesn't matter as you won't spend time inside at all - not with the beautiful lanai area to enjoy. Highly recommend!

Amazing Stay On the Bay!!
We've been coming to the area for 20+ years to be close to family who live locally and found this to be amongst the very best properties that we've ever rented.
Communication with the owners before, during and after the stay was stellar with immediate responses on all topics and quick resolution of any issues (not to suggest that there were any major 'issues' - there were not).
The house is lovely and very well equipped with everything you need in every area - kitchen, bedrooms, bath, and even outside with kayaks, bikes, fishing equipment, etc. which are things we've had to rent separately in previous years. I hosted Christmas Eve dinner for my extended family and had everything I needed for prep and serving.
The pool area is amazing and even in colder weather than we would have liked for a Florida visit, we were able to keep the pool and hot tub at an acceptable temperature, which has been a challenge with previous rentals.
The house is beautiful inside and out - very highly recommend - unless you want it for the same weeks as our next stay ;)

Relaxing family "recharge" before the school year!
You've seen the pictures! What else is there to say?! We wanted to find a home we didn't want to leave for a week so we could all recharge and reconnect before the new school year started...and we found it. The hosts were terrific as well!
