And that's just in nearby Bradenton, let alone Sarasota. Mike asked me the other day if there are any public courses close to the island. I think I will just send him the link so he can take a look for himself. Joe who stayed at Island House phone to say that he had a great time and that he particularly enjoyed the Manatee County Golf Course. It's only 10 minutes from the island so he finished in plenty of time to take Louise out for dinner at the Beach Bistro. It was their anniversary and he wanted the best restaurant on the island - I told him it was one of the best restaurants in the whole of Florida and the setting is really romantic. White table cloths, candles and moonlight and beautiful presented delicious tasting food, it never fails to impress.
