3 acres private 4 bed, 4 bath ranch, unusually huge lanai, heated pool, grill!

Gorgeous 3500 sf riverfront home on 3 lush acres with tropical landscaping. You will have use of the private dock and lift and can boat from our place out to the Gulf. This one of a kind brick ranch style home is perfect for those that value privacy, love the water, enjoy gardens, and desire space inside and out. Traditional style one story home has enough space to host a larger family or group. There are 2 ensuites with beautiful private baths (4 total bedrooms), 2 living areas (one has queen sized sofa bed), 2 eating areas inside, one outside) heated pool and jacuzzi with lovely very large screened in area overlooking the river. There are a total of 5 big screen smart televisions. The beauty of the Little Manatee River is nicely captured from many rooms inside the house through lots of windows. One of the master suites has its very own private sitting room and a very large marble bathroom with a large jetted soaker tub, makeup desk, double sinks with quartz countertops and a large marble shower. All beds throughout the house get raving reviews for comfort.

You will enjoy gorgeous sunrises as well as sunsets over the river. You may see dolphins, manatee, tropical birds, jumping fish, and other wildlife from the master bedroom, family room, breakfast nook, pool area, or while sitting on the dock. The dining area has an electric fireplace for a relaxing ambiance. The French doors lead to a wonderful outdoor Mecca with a lovely heated pool and jacuzzi, both with waterfalls, multiple seating areas, a large eating area, a gas fire pit, and a very nice large gas grill. There is a long palm lined ashphalt driveway with lovely tropical landscaped yard and beautiful night time lighting, suitable for royalty. We have 3 kayaks and one paddle board you can launch onto the river. This is a perfect place for the fisherman, outdoor lover, boater, and nature seeker. Many memories will be made here. You will not be disappointed in this truly beautiful Florida property...bound to surpass your expectations, guests frequently say the photos truly don’t do justice to this amazong one of a kind place. Beds sleep 8 plus a sofa bed for 2 additional sleepers.

Very nice place to stay and I would stay there again and recommend it to other people
Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024

This comfortable home is thoughtfully equipped for families, especially those who enjoy cooking. We loved spending time in the kitchen and sourcing fresh ingredients from Detwiler’s Farm Market—it’s a must-visit for seafood and baked goods. The pool and hot tub were highlights of our stay, offering serene views of the Manatee River and a chance to watch a movie together from the pool on the outdoor TV. We even spotted dolphins several times just off the back dock. The property’s remote location adds to its charm—it’s peaceful and quiet, yet conveniently close to multiple airports (just 30-45 minutes away). If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with all the comforts of home, this is the perfect spot. Jackie and Bob are exceptional hosts, and their property is a true gem!

Pictures dont do justice to this gem, it is located on the water with a spectacular view every room was superb and all beds were reported comfortable. Great lanai and pool area, great place to entertain. Quiet neighborhood gracious hosts let us check in early, everything was exceptional.

The property is as advertised. It was an absolutely fantastic place to get together with my family. Some of the most beautiful Blue Crabs I have ever seen caught right off the dock. 5 stars all the way. Only on drawback to anything was the grill but we figured that out too. The holders to the flavor bars have rusted out and are gone so the bars sit on the flame keeping the grill from getting hot, made a small adjustment making the flavor bars slightly caddie corner to keep them above the flame, and boom hot grill and easy cooking!!

Everything was exactly as advertised plus! So many extras you don't normally find in a vacation rental. It was more than we hoped for. The owners were very accommodating and responsive. We will definitely return.

This was by far the most beautiful property we have enjoyed, everything from the house to the yard and view were just breathtaking! The owners thought of everything and made sure we were comfortable and knew how to use everything! Best experience ever we will definitely keep coming back to this hidden gem 💎

Every person in our group of 6 loved this property inside and out! We spent the majority of our time in the large, comfortable, private lanai. The pool was wonderful and warm. We especially enjoyed the views, fish tank, privacy, comfortable beds, and spaciousness of the home. The communication and hospitality of the hosts were excellent.

We had a very relaxing stay. So quiet and away from the busy city.. But not so remote that you cant get to a grocery store or restaurants within 10 minutes. The house has pretty much everything you need. We stayed during the first week of December and the home was decorated for Christmas, even down to the dishes and cups. The temps dipped into the low/mid 70s and the heated pool/hot tub was perfect. Beautiful home. We look forward to going back.

This house is actually more besutiful than the pictures portray. The property was not only beautiful but relaxing. My husband loved walking to the backyard to throw a line in everyday.,as i relaxed at the incredible pool. It was a perfect home for our family. The hosts were accommodating and gracious people. We will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home in Ruskin. There was plenty of room for everyone to visit, eat, sleep, and relax. Swimming in the pool and fishing off the dock were highlights for our family. And the views are amazing! We saw dolphins pass by twice in our week long stay. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed. We are already discussing staying again next year!

House and hosts very accommodating. House well appointed, with all the extras. Pool was a huge hit with kids, and I enjoyed fishing and kayaking from the dock. Traveled with parents and kids, and plenty of space and options for activities for all. Location was good for a quiet get-away. We drove over to Universal for a day, and also rented boats from a nearby beach. Hosts were superb to work with.

The property is truly one of a kind, super quiet neighborhood. The lanai is where we spent most of our time while the kids swam. Fishing right off the dock was amazing, not a ton of luck but did hook a nice size mullet. We were greeted by Jackie and Bob upon our arrival and they gave us a quick rundown of the property which was nice. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a secluded family getaway.

If you love nature as much as our family this is the perfect spot for you.Wildlife abounds just look and listen and keep those binoculars handy.The pool lanai was our favorite spot to hang out even during tropical storm Nicole(.yes we got the full Florida experience).Thanks to the owners for responding quickly to any concerns we had.2 weeks wasn’t long enough Enjoy

This lovely home will not disappoint. Water, wildlife,super clean and extremely well equipped, this property exceeded our expectations. I like to say we've been spoiled by each of our VRBO hosts, but Jackie and Bob take it to another level. They literally had a tech out hours before our check in to ensure that everything was up to their standards. We focused on health and wellness for our anniversary and could not have chosen a better place to celebrate. Truly a hidden gem.
