Guestbook comments from the host:

Great location and huge home.


Nov 2024

Anchor Down had this property ready for us only days after Hurricane Milton. We couldn’t be more appreciative. They definitely went the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience. Highly recommended!


Oct 2024

Over all we had a wonderful stay, plenty of space for our whole group and the house was beautiful. With that said it is an old house and had several minor issues thru out the week. However, the management company was quick to respond and resolved most in a reasonable timeframe.


Aug 2024

Great location. Spacious. Kids loved the game room and pool and large backyard for outdoor games. We docked our boat and did short day trips to Anna Marie Island. The kids caught fish and went crabbing. Would highly recommend for a large group.


Jul 2024

Great place to stay with large group of family. Very responsive host. Took care of minor issues right away. Also granted a late check out for which we are grateful. Location is by the water has all you'll need. I would recommend some welcome gift such as water or bottle of wine. Other smaller and less expensive places in which I have stayed offer this. I recommend this place for a wonderful vacation.


Jun 2024

Great location and nice amenities.


Jun 2024

Was a great location, well spent time with family . House was big enough didn't feel crowded and the sunsets were amazing! Definitely worth the money !


Mar 2024

House was perfect for our stay, great pool and outdoor cooking area.


Mar 2024

My sister found the Plantaion House on VRBO while we were planning our neice's 40th birthday celebration. It was large enough to accommodate all of us and it's on the water. When you pull onto the street you are already in awe, it is located in a quiet neighborhood filled with beautiful homes. We filled every bed in the house and apartment (and were they ever comfortable!) but we never felt crowded. The views, the pool, the beaches, the game room and having all of us together made it our "Best FL Vacation Ever". We've been going to FL our entire lives!!! Working with Kristi was effortless, she was there to answer all of ouor questions and even helped us locate a fishing charter for a large group. The only downside to the Plantaion House is that it is already booked for Christmas!! We will definitely return to the Plantation House again! Thank you!!!!


Sep 2023

The house was nice, even if it was a little over priced. The gameroom and the dock were are favorite features. When we weren't out enjoying the sights, we were out on the dock, in the pool, or in the game room. We enjoyed seeing the swimming horses with their riders. There also was a 10ft bull shark in the bay. We got the pleasure of seeing it a few times while it was hunting. The manta rays were amazing to watch. We did not see dolphins or manatees. We were told by the neighbors they hadn't seen them in over a month. Marine biologists from the University of Tampa Marine Field Studies cam out to check on the shark and take readings of the bay. They said they have been tracking the bull shark and it has been in that part of the bay for about a month. Some of the guys caught catfish off the dock. There were a couple blue crabs found in the crab trap. The beaches weren't far and they were easy to enjoy. We loved Bean Point. Beer Can Island was nice too. We went kayaking, deep sea fishing, and we rode the horses in the water. Some of us were having so much fun, we wanted to extend our stay.


Sep 2023

Our 8 adults and 2 toddlers had plenty of elbow room in this well furnished home with a beautiful sunset view. There were pool toys and yard games as well as a pool heated to 83 and a spa that warmed to 104 in about an hour. Benefits included a small sandy area to launch our rented kayaks, boat loads of pool towels and plentiful chef tools. In the kitchen we found a hand mixer, blender, roasting pan, stock pots, buffet warming tray, pod and drip coffee pots, toaster and crock pots. There were both indoor and outdoor dinnerware sets and barware. The property manager was awesome, being attentive to my requests and taking ownership in wanting the home to present in its best light, as if it were her own. Its location is about 4 miles from the nearest Gulf beach - offering a quiet, peaceful environment to enjoy the 180 degree water views while still being a short drive to the celebration vibe of AMI. Even during Thanksgiving week, we had little trouble finding parking once on Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach.


Aug 2023

This property was spectacular for our family vacation! Extremely spacious and beautiful. The kids loved the game room, pool, fishing from the dock and the large yard. The adults loved hanging out on the big porches and enjoying the amazing views. We saw dolphins, manatees and a bald eagle! We rented a pontoon boat for the week and we all enjoyed exploring the waterways and small islands, tubing and wake boarding. The location is convenient to the beach, grocery stores and restaurants! Our entire family agreed this was the best family vacation yet!!!!!


Jun 2023

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. For a family of 17, it was the idea place to stay. Plenty of things to do...the pool was great...the game room wonderful for teenagers....well supplied with board games...plenty of beach towels..and the TV room for the sports fans was great. Kitchen was very well equipped with anything you need to cook with. Two laundry areas was a must for that many people. The bedroom downstairs was a very relaxing place for us to retreat to when we got tired of all the noise. As the parents and grandparents of this gang,I would highly recommend this home and hope to be able to return someday. Thanks so much for the use of your beautiful plantation home.


May 2023

Excellent! The house was absolutely perfect, very well maintained and comfortable. It was very well located with scenic views in the afternoon when the sun was coming down. We were a group of 14 and it was plenty of space, rooms and beds for everybody. The kids really enjoyed the game room and of course the pool I would definitely recommend this house for a perfect vacation!


May 2023

Fabulous! Home was absolutely wonderful! Kristi made herself available to us our entire stay should we have had any questions or concerns.


Apr 2021

House and stay was great!
