Welcome to Piperbear Destinations

  This is our second time at Nicole's house. She is a wonderful host who is clear on instructions and responsive. The house is cozy and convenient. That... read more and the enclosed pool is what sold us for a second time.

  Our stay in AMI was amazing! Our accommodations were even more amazing! 2 blocks to one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. Being from the... read more NorthEast we were not used to the humidity, but not a problem as we were able to relax by the pool. I don't think I have spent that much time in the water since I was a child 😂
We saw manatees, stingrays in the water and also enjoyed fishing one morning at Rod and Reel.
The house was close enough to experience a Tampa Bay Rays game too
Thank you Nicole we loved our first family vacation in 5 years!

  Such a comfortable house! Quiet, clean, spacious. The screened in pool was fantastic! Highly recommended.

  We had a great 4 night stay. Wish it could have been longer. Great house in a great location. Nicole was a terrific host! We will definitely be back.

  Our stay was amazing it was absolutely perfect and we will 10000% be back.

  We had a great time! This was the most well-stocked homes we have ever stayed at (pack-n-play, sheets, both bath and beach towels, basic amenities such as toilet paper,... read more paper towel, laundry detergent, dish detergent/soap, olive oil, etc.)! Nicole was very quick to respond to any questions and was very friendly. The location was within walking distance to two beaches and within biking distance to restaurants. We had a wonderful time! Thank you Nicole!

  Such a beautiful location on the canal. We’ve stayed at many places on AMI and this was one of the best. We didn’t have a need for anything! The place... read more was spotless. Even the dishes didn’t need washed when we got there. (If you frequent with air bnb you know what I mean). It was large enough to comfortably fit 4 people and quite enough for just my husband and I to relax. This was exactly what we needed.

  Awesome house for a family. We really enjoyed the area and all the house had to offer. Definitely will be back!

  I can’t say enough about Manatee Harbour! We had the best time! The house was immaculate when we arrived! So many thoughtful touches (high chair, pack n play, sound machine,... read more flash lights, pool floats, etc). Nicole responded quickly to every message! Our entire family was sad to leave this place! We saw manatees in the canal three days of our stay! Such a fun experience!

  Great stay, and a great pool. Exactly what we were looking for.

  This was an amazing place to stay for our family. The pool was awesome, and the outdoor lounge and eating area was an unexpected bonus. The proximity to the beaches... read more and restaurants was another huge plus. The house felt safe and secure for our two children under five. Everything was very clean and organized. We will be back!

  Amazing time and exactly as advertised! Can’t wait to return 😊

  Nicole’s place was warm, homey and whimsical. It was well stocked with everything we needed from towels and bath products to coffee pods to beach chairs and wagon. She... read more provided lots of information before our stay. Bean Point beach is a close walk and very beautiful. We loved biking and walking to so many great restaurants and shops nearby. At first we didn’t see any manatees but they came to visit a couple times and were so fun to watch. Highly recommend this lovely home especially for a family of four. Lots of space to hang together and play games or spread out if necessary!

  Manatee Harbor is a perfect vacation spot! Within walking distance of the beach and restaurants. The house is well stocked and feels like a home away from home.... read more Very nice pool and workout room and the extra bonus is the canal out back where we could sit watch the manatees.

We will definitely be back!

We dream of the day we return.

  This is an amazing place to stay for any family. Close, including walking distance, to beaches, restaurants, and more. There are so many thoughtful touches here to make staying with... read more a family a breeze. The gym off the pool is great, as is the pool itself and all of the pool toys, infant floaties, etc. The space is huge & beautiful. There is plenty of stuff to take to the beach including a tent/umbrella device, beach carts, beach toys & chairs, and so much more. Plenty of towels for the beach and the pool. All the stuff you need in the kitchen to cook if you want. So many good recommendations in the welcome binder as well as the guest book. The WiFi is fast and able to handle higher bandwidth needs like Zoom meetings. We LOVED staying here!
