First time in the area

We were three adults and one kid and stayed for 5 days. We had looked at hotels and prices, then we found this place on Vrbo and booked it. Similar price but more room for everyone. Great place and hosts. No issues at all, enjoyed the place and the location. We would stay here again if we are in town again.

Christmas visit

We’ve stayed at this property a few times at the end of the year. It’s close to our family and friends. Beds and couch are comfy. Plenty of stores, restaurants and fast food nearby. It’s a ten minute drive to Anna Maria Island and beaches. We’ve never been to the pool/clubhouse and I’m not sure we’ve even seen it. Older community so it’s usually quiet except for some yappy dog for 3 hours this morning. Owners are easy to reach if you need them. I would stay here again.

Nice House

The only issues I had was the internet got shut off right after I used the echo dot to play music in the kitchen. Those devices are linked to the user account. May have been just a coincidence but I did try to reset 3 times and after contacting the host it came back on really fast. Also I was cooking for my family function we attended and when I had no shoes on I noticed a lot of dirt on the floor. I swept and there was a lot of dirt on the floor. I spilled on the floor (water) and when I wiped it the paper towel changed colors. Everything else was good.

Close to MANY restaurants and stores. Extremely quiet except for the group of ducks that had a party daily at 1:00am ;o) Plenty of room in the condo to gather as a group or stay away from each other. The excellent beaches of Anna Maria Island are a 10 minute drive (under normal circumstances, may be longer when the snowbirds are there or spring break). The owner was easy to contact and responded quickly to questions. 2023 was our 2nd stay and we've already booked for 2024.

Great Condo in Bradenton

We spent 6 nights in this lovely Condo in Bradenton, FL. This Condo is conveniently located right in the middle of everything you would want in Bradenton, FL. The place was clean and had lots of space to relax and live in. The kitchen had everything we need to prepare meals. There is also a Beautiful Pool Facility close by. We will be back soon! Thanks to James & Cara for making our stay so Easy!

Cozy and great neighborhood

Really nice home. Overlooks pond with birds and other wildlife. We loved the porch/lanai which was lit up with the morning sun. Golf and beaches are within driving distance. It was above our expectations. Landlords are responsive if you have questions. Thanks to Cara and Jim for a great winter home away from home.

Close to IMG

My family and I stayed in April while my son attended IMG for training. It is super close (about a mile) to the campus and made for easy community in the early morning. The property was very clean and had everything a family could need (beach chairs, beach towels, fully loaded kitchen, etc). We did not spend much time there as we were out all day, but the neighborhood seemed very quiet and the one time my kids swam in the community pool, they had fun. James & Cara were very communicative and we had no problems whatsoever. Would definitely stay here again!

Great condo. A lot bigger than it looks from the front. Plenty of room. Had everything we needed in the kitchen but we didn't cook so I'm not sure of the pots and pans situation. Unbelievably quiet neighborhood. Pond in the back had ducks and geese and a sandhill crane that thought he was in charge of the area. Had one small issue that was addressed immediately. Beds were comfy. Furniture in the living room was good. We would stay here again.

Not Impressed

Positive: Tons of toys for kids, close-ish to beaches Negative: house is dirty, ants everywhere, a/c only barely worked b/c we cleaned the filthy filter, old and very dusty decor, moldy shower curtains, washer/dryer make clothes stink, stains on mattress cover, outdoor lanai area and outdoor furniture too dirty to enjoy, hardly any grass in backyard as pictured, house smelled musty upon arrival. When I asked who cleaned the house between visitors, the host replied “we have a cleaning lady that comes as needed.” What?! As needed?! Gross. I emailed the host pictures of everything and they did not reply or attempt to make anything better. I would not stay at this VRBO again or recommend it to anyone.
