My family of 4 (kids - 14 and 12) really enjoyed our stay at Palma Sola. The outside is really the highlight -- heated pool, jacuzzi tub, hammock, firepit, grill, plenty of seating, and wonderful landscaping encasing the back -- but the house is well laid out, very clean, and well-stocked, as well. Depending where you're headed, it's ~15 minutes over to Bradenton Beach (depending on traffic over the bridge), and this place is prepared. We've stayed at a lot of beach houses, and we've never seen a house so well-stocked with beach things for us travelers who have come in by air -- chairs, umbrellas, coolers, toys, towels, beach wagon, all of it.
This property is also near both the botanical park (did not go) and Robinson Preserve to which we went and rode on the 4 bikes that are provided. Fantastic outing!
Just one tip so others don't make the same mistake we did -- nowhere in the check-in instructions does it say how to turn on the jacuzzi tub outside, and that's because you don't! We checked in right at 4pm and tried to use the pool and hot tub, but the property owner has it set to automatically turn on at 6pm. Don't touch any controls before then! Just text him and he'll turn it on for you remotely and immediately. Mike was really good about dealing with our initial mistake, and was fantastic all week with his responsiveness and periodically checking in to make sure we were doing well.
Would stay here again!
