Newly Remodeled Beachfront Studio - On the sand!
Jeffery’s rental was perfect. He has such an eye for detail and it’s beautifully decorated. Our view of the ocean from the sitting area outside the rental was spectacular! The space contained everything you would possibly need and was extremely comfortable. This is our second stay at Shell Cove 1 and we highly recommend it to others.

Las Palmas Beach Rentals Unit 1
excellent location, everything super clean, thank you for everything

Kayaks & Firepit Mins to Dwntwn!
I had a short stay, but felt very comfortable and happy during my time here. The view of the lake is beautiful and made the experience even more relaxing. Thank you for the nice space!

Beach Front Condo!
The conso really is just a few steps to the beach! We felt right at home the moment we walked in. There are plenty of great restaurants in the area. We tried 3-4 and would go back to all of them. My teenage daughters said this about the room: “It was perf!” and “so cutsie and adorable”

Longboat Key-OCEAN FRONT- on the beach
Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—just steps from the beach with stunning views and peaceful surroundings. Cindy was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend

Direct Ocean View Top Floor Renovated. 2BR, 2 Bath
We absolutely loved our stay at Scott’s place. The condo was sparkling clean- I am extremely picky about cleanliness and was not disappointed. The kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated all of the beach gear Scott had available for use. We loved the location and the view from the balcony is unmatched. Scott was quick to respond with the minor issue we had at check in and quickly resolved the issue. We had the best time and will definitely be back!

Popular Beachside Studio w/ Shady Patio & Palms!
Had a great time staying here! We can for a long weekend and Lara was super helpful to accolade us for showing up early and wanting to get our beach vacation started! The until was so cute and perfect for 2 people. The beach is literally steps from your door. Made it easy to go back and forth if we forgot something inside or if we needed to take a couple trips to get all of our beach gear set up. There wasn’t a ton to do near on treasure island so we took a quick 20 minute uber into St. Pete’s which has so much to do, great restaurants, and awesome night life!

Dream Boat at The Beach Dreams Resort
Everything was great, perfect location and perfect space for the two of us for our getaway. Air conditioning worked well in bedroom and living room/main area (I think some people previously commented on it being hot & the entry area is warm and not directly air conditioned, but the unit had several fans in the closet). We didn’t find this to be a problem at all for us. Everything was clean and as described in the listing. The only “complaints” if you could even call them that was that the WiFi did not seem to work no matter what we did and the water pressure wasn’t ideal for my husband, yet didn’t bother me too much so maybe that’s subjective. Overall, the owners were very accurate with what was offered and received, and they were very responsive as well, answering any questions we had very quickly, and calling us when we had a small issue with parking at first when we got there. They were friendly and asked how everything was going during our trip and we appreciated that very much.

Close to IMG + Pool + Outdoor Kitchen & Projector!
Amazing house in Bradenton! Beautiful pool with privacy, was very peaceful outside. The house was insanely clean and exactly as advertised. Lots of fridge space between the inside and patio. Also many beach items in the garage which helps for people who are flying in. The outside grill is big and the projector is a nice touch. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting the area! Thank you for the great family vacation!

Relaxing 3BR/2BA POOL Home w. Pond View & HOT TUB
Staying with Jose & Sara was an amazing experience! (Again!) We have stayed at their home previously, and we really enjoyed ourselves. When looking for a home to rent for vacation this time, we were excited to see Jose & Sara’s house! We jumped at the opportunity to rent this perfectly sized home again. Jose & Sara do such a great job of making you feel at home. There were towels folded on the beds and so many extra beach towels for the pool! There was even a little snack tray for us when we arrived. The directions to enter the home were easy to follow. We had one super tiny issue with the coffee pot, & Jose handled it quickly & efficiently. The pool is such a highlight of a perfect home! Perfect size to float around & enjoy the sun. The hot tub felt amazing after a 17 hour drive. You literally feel like you entered paradise, right outside the back door. There is a nice shady area with a fan as well. Showers & bathrooms were good sizes! I love the shower heads! I was able to enjo

Beautiful Lake View Home - Close Beaches / IMG
Eva was fantastic with very quick responses. Her place was well kept and clean. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book here again.

Canal front, dock, heated Pool, near AMI+IMG
Absolutely pristine place, the house is amazing, location is perfect and loaded with everything you need. Great host as well , we would love to come back to this place.

Beach Vibes Vacation Home w/ Heated Pool
The house was lovely well decorated and maintained. It was easy to find an easy to get in and out of. The house had all the amenities that we needed. The host was responsive when we had questions. I would rent here or another property owned by them again.

Boaters Waterfront Bungalow•Private Dock• Swim Spa
From the moment you walk in the door you know you are about to have an amazing week! Beautiful everywhere you look inside and out! From enjoying sitting on the dock watching the wildlife, to relaxing in the spa everything was perfect! Short drive to white sand beaches and everything there is to love about beach towns and at the same time far enough away from the hustle and bustle making it almost impossible to not relax! Mara was by far the best host we have ever had! From prompt responses to all of our tourist questions, to giving specific locations to see manatees! She went above and beyond and made our trip one we will never forget! We’ve already been in contact to book another week! This is truly a an incredible place to stay! You will not be disappointed!!

Waterfront Escape with Pool, Hot Tub & Treehouse!
We had a family of 9. The home had more than enough beds for us to feel that we had enough to host for each person plus ample room for more. The entire home was carefully supplied with plenty of kitchen cooking supplies, high quality linens, and beach and bath towels. We used every part of the house to entertain ourselves and it was hard to say goodbye after a week stay. The AMI beaches are about a 20-30 min drive, but completely worth it to have this waterfront property that has all the amenities that condos fall short on. Jason was just a text away for any of our requests. This place is a gem and we would rent again without looking elsewhere.

5 min to IMG + AMI Beaches + Hot Tub/Pool
Our host was awesome! Very responsive (within minutes) to requests or questions. Home was clean and exactly as described. All details were included, down to the beach towels, laundry detergent, and coffee filter’s. We were able to take our boat and tie up to their dock. Located near restaurants, grocery store, gas station, all within minutes. Neighborhood was super quiet and peaceful. We had a great time and will return!

Amazing View, Updated Beachfront Condo
Very quaint little town. We brought the bikes and were able to bike everywhere. Very peaceful with minimal crowds. Hit the spot on the get away we wanted. Thanks!

Heron's Hideaway- Studio by the bay!
What a treasure!! Though small, it completely met our needs. Was clean and homey. Ideal location between downtown Saint Pete and the beaches. Loved the view of the water from the balcony. Kids loved the pool.

Luxury 3/3 Margaritaville Resort
David’s home exceeded our expectations and was an excellent choice for our stay. It was conveniently located near all the beaches, restaurants, groceries, and shops, but not in the midst of the bustling city center. David even provided us with a variety of beach essentials and even bikes for our convenience. The home was spotlessly clean and well-stocked with blankets, towels, and cookware and dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning in the future.

6 min to Siesta Beach | Heated Pool | Lake View
Doris's AirBnB was exactly as listed. It was very clean. The neighborhood was quiet. It was in the perfect location. We had no problems at all. I would definitely book again.

★Right on the beach ★ Relax and Enjoy ♥ Sunsets!
Five stars in every way. Location location location, everything is very close and convenient including the free shuttle that goes up and down the island. The home itself is extremely clean, the bed is comfortable, and the place is stocked with chairs, umbrellas, towels, anything you need. You do need to take some stairs to get to the unit, but if you’re comfortable with that pick this place. I reached out to Martha several times with questions about the island and she responded very quickly and was helpful every time.

Spectacular beach to bay views from this resort.
Our stay was great! The place and location were perfect! We had absolutely everything we needed. Communication was awesome! Thanks so much!! Lara and Thomas Boulder Co

Siesta Key Beach Front Condo
Another wonderful trip to Siesta! This is our third stay in one of Evan’s places, and we were not disappointed. This unit had a great view of the Gulf (this particular building has the most direct view, without the parking lot!), and the screened in lanai was amazing! As always, the unit was clean, well-stocked, and a perfect home away from home. Already counting down the days till we return!

Condo with a View 1: Open Friday, $250/nt!
This condo was everything I needed and more! The location? Absolutely perfect—the beach is literally your backyard. Waking up to that ocean view the next morning was a dream. Restaurants and activities were just minutes away, which made everything so easy and fun. Heidi, the host, went above and beyond. Her communication was fast, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. She even surprised us with a delicious key lime pie and orange juice waiting for us after jet skiing—such a sweet and personal touch! I truly have no complaints. Everything about this stay was peaceful, beautiful, and seamless. I’d absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing and magical beach getaway. 🌴🌊💛
