We just got back home after 4 nights at Monica's place and it was incredible. First family vacation we've done as a family of 4 and the place was very clean, kid friendly, lots of open space to be able to let our youngest crawl around but also had a lot of things to do on the actual property as well.
You are a few minutes drive from Ana Maria Island so you get the benefit of being so close to the beach, but also have the option to stay in and enjoy the pool, hammock, fire pit or movie screen in the garage (we definitely did!). Would definitely recommend staying at Monica's and will be staying there next time we go to Bradenton

Honestly my favorite place I have ever stayed at on a trip! Spacious and beautiful. Peaceful and plenty to do without leaving property. Projector for movies, hot tub, fishing, games… we also loved downtown Blue Ridge and the train. We could be in downtown Blue Ridge in 10-15 minutes. We would love to come back sometime.

We had a great time for 5 nights with our family! The house was in a quiet neighborhood, was beautifully decorated and had everything that you could think of needing to use. My mom kept saying, wow they thought of everything here! The backyard was gorgeous and had many seating areas and nooks and crannies that we all liked. My kids loved swimming, playing soccer and hide and seek in the backyard. It was so pretty lit up at night too. The house is located close to both Anna Maria Island and Siesta Key beach, we went to both for little day trips or out to dinner and shopping.

Our week at the Flamingo Royale was truly the luxury sanctuary we were looking for. The home perfectly captures that "old Florida" charm with a stylish, modern twist, and we found it to be incredibly cozy and warm.
The property is a true paradise. Our granddaughters were in heaven—they spent hours in the pool and on the hammock, and then there was the garage, which you’ve so thoughtfully converted into a kid's paradise.
We loved the simple, tasteful and beautiful decor. The small amenities provided in the kitchen and bathroom were perfect and made our stay so much more comfortable. The backyard, with its lush palm bushes and trees, provided such a serene, secluded, and beautiful backdrop to our vacation. We also loved the location; being just minutes away from the beaches shopping and restaurants.
We make it a point to rate all the houses we stay in, and while we have enjoyed many, the Flamingo Royale was loved by all and had absolutely no negatives. We can’t wait to come back!

My wife and I took 8 of our children ranging from 1 year old to 18 yrs old and we all had a great time! We stayed for 7 days and really didn’t even leave the property. Monica and Jeremiah were great hosts and we would definitely like to visit again sometime! 100% recommend visiting the place is awesome!

Our family enjoyed this home so much. The backyard was like a tropical oasis. The heated pool was awesome. The host was very accommodating. The trip to the beach was close and other places such as groceries and restaurants were also close by. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed such as kitchen needs, towels etc. The gym in the garage was a bonus. Highly recommend this accommodation.

The pond and property in and out had a great atmosphere. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and it was secluded enough for privacy but close enough to town to quickly run and grab something from the grocery store. No luck fishing but the peacefulness was wonderful. The hot tub was clean and the water in it was fresh. It was spacious, comfortable and thoughtfully laid out. I loved the reading loft for doing my Bible study on a comfy couch, beautiful blankets and a great view and lighting.

Staying at Monica’s place was great! It was clean, as described, such thoughtful touches and decorations, great location, and the perfect backyard for morning coffees, afternoons in the pool, and cocktails at sunset. The kids loved hanging in the game room. The beds were comfy and the temperature inside was perfect. Monica was quick to answer questions and communicated clearly. We would stay here again!

This cabin was a dream! Everything look like the pictures and it was a little piece of heaven tucked away from the busy streets but still accesible enough to get where you needed. Helen, GA was only an hour drive away and there was plenty to do nearby. The host was super responsive and very friendly. The amenities of the cabin were amazing! We watched the Dinosuars documentary in their movie theater and it was an amazing spot, truly felt like at the movies! I noted I was staying with a toddler and they left me a few things for her to snack, which she definitely did lol! We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Monica’s place! The cabin was spacious, yet cozy with plenty of natural light. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, a huge plus since we made most of our meals at home. The kids loved fishing in the pond during the day, and the theater room and hot tub by night. The property is peaceful and yet still only minutes to shops and restaurants in Blue Ridge. We will be back!
