This is a fantastic home with a beautiful view of the Gulf sunset as well as direct canal access with kayaks. Two separate decks with seating, both front and back. Covered parking was a huge bonus, as well as covered outdoor seating area with grill. We rented this as a scenic place to stay while helping our daughter's family move to the area, so we greatly appreciated the *fully* stocked kitchen for cooking and large size washer and dryer. We saw dolphins during kayak rides in the canal, that was pretty amazing. The owner Brian checked on us frequently to ensure we had everything we needed. Friendly neighbors, great neighborhood for walking. We will definitely be returning. Great restaurants, parks, and Manatee reserve nearby.
