Great Ruskin Area Home

Very nice townhome if you're in the Ruskin area, check in was super easy, and the house is very well appointed, great bunk beds for kids make it family oriented. The community it's in has some nice little restaurants so you don't have to venture too far if you don't want to. All in all a very nice place to stay for a few days with Tampa and Sarasota in easy reach.

Perfect location for a family vacay

This property was perfect for my 2 sisters and me. The 3 BRS/3 baths allowed for us all to have our own spaces, while enjoying the family room and balcony together. We also went to both restaurants, the beach and played Pickleball. Lindsey was prompt in answering questions, and for providing check-in and check-out instructions. And the most important thing is that the unit was CLEAN!

Family Getaway

This is such a lovely property in a quiet area. We stayed for just a few days in January for a staycation ages 12 to 78. Except for going to the manatee Nature Center 20 minutes away we stayed on the property and had plenty to do for all of us. The swimming pool is heated, it was cool enough to play tennis the Sunset Grill has a lot of good entertainment and the sunsets were unbelievable. Would love to come and visit another day another day
