"There are not enough words to convey how perfect our trip was. The property was even more beautiful than the photos online. The amenities included made it so easy to simply relax and enjoy the beach that was only steps from our door. Our unit was absolutely immaculate, and we cannot wait to go back!"

"Thanks to all of the prior raters who gave this property such a good reputation. It’s very clean, is well maintained, has beautiful grounds, is only steps to the beach, is centrally located, has a grocery within walking distance…. Too many good things to list. We were fortunate enough to meet our host and she’s just the most pleasant and likable person. Great stay all around!!"

"The rental was exactly as stated. It is small but it has everything you need for a perfect vacation. You can’t beat the location and the pool was a big bonus. We would definitely stay here again in the future."

"Great private pool and newer duplex, everything you could want, beach walking distance 5 min, great central spot to the island, the back yard and pool was the highlight for me..to be able to spend time at beach then come back and relax in pool is the best. Thank you for a nice stay"

"Great host, very responsive. Excellent location - on the beach and close to Manatee Beach and amenities including the trolley stop. We loved our stay and hope to return."

"This vacation home is spotless and very cozy. Big back yard if you want to relax outside or just a walk to the beach. Near restaurants and shops…very nicely located. The owner was great and provided everything we needed. Thank you for a great stay!"

"Very nice accommodations. Easy beach access, lots of amenities, and it's clean. Lots to do, great eateries, close grocery store. We’d love to not review and keep this place a secret, but it’s too good not to share with others. Enjoy!"

"My son and father had a great stay here. The only real down side is that there are no dresser in either bedroom. You are able to hang your items up but no where to put anything else. A dresser or closet organizer would be a great addition. They really enjoyed sitting out on the back patio, it is fully shaded and quiet. The location of the house is great- short walk to the beach and a great central location to everything else. They enjoyed their stay and would be happy to go back."

"We are a family of two adults and one child who stayed 7 days at the duplex. The duplex is adequately equipped including extra towels, beach wagon, kitchen supplies/eating utensils, etc. Location wise you are a very short walk to the beach (same street there is an access point). You’ll have to walk (or drive) a bit further if you want a coffee shop or to the cluster of restaurants. The trolley is easily accessible equal distance on the bay side or the beach side. You can also easily walk to the...

"Me and my husband came here for our honeymoon, and we had a great time! The house was super cute and within about 10 minutes of everything we wanted to do!"

"Great property. Great location but getting in and out of the house with the lockbox and dead bolt key combination was a real hassle. We were given the incorrect code to the lockbox, spent 30 minute's trying to get in on our own and with Vaccaso customer support before they realized we wre given the wrong code. This was after traveling almost 8 hrs and it was dark which made it even more frustrating. My wife wss very upside. Every time we left or entered the house the deabbolt key and combination...

"Perfect location, calm, relax, peaceful"

"Was clean and ready for us. Well equipped. Great pool"

"We had the best time at time. The pool was clean and warm, the location was great, easy walk to a very clean and private beach. The house is really cute, with all the amenities you could need."

"What a beautiful place! So quaint and tranquil! Loved it."

"Wonderful stay and location. Would definitely stay again"

"Our family and friends enjoyed our stay at Blu Idle Retreat by Beach Boutique Rentals. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen lacked a garbage disposal but I probably missed that in the details. It probably would not have been a deal breaker but it would have been a nice convenience. The kitchen was very small but worked out ok. The kitchen was lacking several utensils. Only two or three teaspoon sized plus most utensils were old which could be replaced. Overall, it was adequate during our...

"Clean, convenient location, on the beach perfection, quiet. We hope to be back!"
