Treat the whole family or your closest friends to an unforgettable getaway to this ideal home away! Recently renovated with a new private pool (heated upon request from Oct 1 - May 1), furniture, a tiki bar for entertaining, and an outdoor flatscreen TV, there will be no dull moments on this vacation. Plus, enjoying a cocktail on the patio each evening will be uninterrupted by pesky bugs, as a bug misting system has been installed. Be sure to make a playlist to set the mood each day, as the Bose surround sound system is ready to play favorite songs both inside and out. Inside, a wonderful full kitchen awaits the chef of the group with gorgeous grey countertops and stainless steel appliances, so sitting down for a homecooked meal at the dining table will be a great way to finish off each day. Plus, the high-speed WiFi will come in handy for any remote work or streaming favorite movies!

Sitting in a quiet suburban neighborhood in Village Green, this wonderful home away is convenient to shopping and the main thoroughfare to Anna Maria Island and a few blocks from the Blake Medical Center. Make the short drive to Robison Preserve or DeSoto National Memorial Park for a bit of fun in the sun and hiking trails that will give you a unique glimpse of Tampa Bay just four miles from your front door.

Nice quiet neighborhood. Great house and pool

Had a great experience at this property. Nice neighborhood. Close to groceries, shopping and many restaurants. It takes around 45 minutes to drive to Anna Maria Island even though it’s not very far due to Lots of traffic during February. Definitely would recommend

February Getsway

Everything about the property was perfect! The house was spotless. Kitchen very well stocked with every pan or utensil you could think of. Same with bed sheets and towels. More than enough beach towels. The outdoor living was beautiful. It was too cold to use the gorgeous pool ! We will definitely be back! Thank You for a lovely stay!

Lovely, quiet close to event, restaurants, stores, and beach. Television/cable and surround sound confusing and unable to sort out with customer service. Only had Roku and Netflix- would have liked to have had access to local news and live tv.

Ten Weeks at "almost there"

This is a great place to stay! It is comfortable, well located, and has a lovely pool and spa. The kitchen has all the amenities most cooks need. VACASA and Shelly (the owner) responded promptly with answers to our questions. The house truly became our home away from home. We were sad to leave.

Great Home

We came for a baseball tournament at IMG and this home was perfect. Very clean house, comfortable living room furniture and beds in a very quiet and safe looking neighborhood. Very nice looking outdoor patio with travertine stone and small shaped pebble finished pool with plenty of outdoor chairs on the decking and seating under roof as well. Absolutely perfect for our stay!

Beautiful property

We stayed March 27 - March 31. The property was beautiful, the backyard was very relaxing and inviting. The beds are SO comfortable!! They had some beach matts, towels and beach bags for use. We left some kid toys, pool noodles and goggles. Very quiet neighborhood. Loved our whole stay !

Great Bradenton Oasis!

I rented this property with another couple to attend a wedding in Palma Sola. The house was perfect to split between couples, since each bedroom provided a private bathroom. The pool area was the perfect outdoor oasis with privacy, outdoor speakers, tv and grill! The house is situated in a lovely residential neighborhood that was clean, quiet and safe. Ubers were easily accessible and the house is close by to necessities such as grocery, liquor store, Starbucks, restaurants, etc. I would definitely stay here again if I am ever back in the area. I would recommend reaching out 72 hours prior for pool heating access and to heat the hot tub for maximum enjoyment! Thank you for having us.

Stay

The property was well-maintained and clean. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable. The pool and spa were also clean and the salt water was appreciated. The kitchen had many cooking utensils/servingware/storage containers. However, it would be nice if some kitchen staples could be provided such as aluminum foil, plastic wrap/bag, and salt/pepper. These are things we didn't want to purchase for a week's stay.

Vacasa was not very good w customer service

Multiple small things were broken or problematic about the stay. It wasn't enough to ruin the trip, but when you rent this property, you will deal with Vacasa not VRBO.

Wifi

The Wi-Fi network and password provided were incorrect. It took two days and communication with three ways to connect to some one who could provide the correct Wi-Fi network and password. One Vacasa rep did not respond to my message until the day before we left our rental property. Very frustrating!!

Gorgeous in Quiet Neighborhood Close to Grocery & Beaches

We enjoyed our stay! Things we liked: Overall aesthetic, hot shower with great pressure, gorgeous, quiet pool area, quiet 55+ neighborhood close to grocery store, close enough to beaches, had beach towels, bags, & mats to use. Things we wish we'd known: Hot tub remote is persnickety, never got it working which led to a disappointment, has a Keurig, but wasn't shown in pic or in the description. Things to consider adding to listing or improving on to make the experience exceptional: Add Keurig in description & add to kitchen pic. purchase some standard size bed pillows that are comfortable to add to the floofy King size ones that are more for show and not very comfortable, start the weary guests off with some basics in the kitchen until they can get to the grocery store the next day (I.e., K-Cups, sugar & creamer packets, 4 pack of muffins, extra boxes of tissues, plastic cutlery, paper plates, dryer sheets) Take down noisy wind chimes, upgrade hot tub to a more reliable, hard on-off switch with timer. Thank-you so much for our stay! I rate this property 9 out of 10, only because the hot tub was unusable.

Great Property, Terrible Property Management by VACASA

The home was beautiful and as advertised. Great location. However, there were several issues which we reported during our stay that went uncorrected (see excerpt from email to VACASA below) and diminished our overall enjoyment of our 5 week stay. As noted in our email below to VACASA, during the last week of our stay, the pool filter and outdoor patio electricity were not functioning. This had a significant negative impact on the quality of our stay. We asked VACASA to please pass on our concerns to the property owners. To: Vacasa Cc: Subject: Maintenance Request Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my disappointment in the service Vacasa has shown us while staying in Bradenton, FL. On Sunday, February 20th, I reported that the pool filter had stopped working. This was the second time this had happened during our stay. However, this problem has not been fixed and my text and phone calls have fallen on deaf ears. In addition to the pool filter not working, the outdoor power to the fan, lighting and TV near the tiki bar is also not working. This was discovered Wednesday, February 23rd and reported Thursday, February 24th. I spoke to a VACASA rep who advised that a note in the file stated another agent would be contacting the pool company on Wednesday morning and was going to contact us to let us know when the pool service was coming. I have not heard from anyone since my call this morning to Vacasa's 800 number. As stated above, this is not the service we expected from Vacasa. It is not a reflection on the homeowner, but is a poor reflection on the maintenance service. Please remedy this situation. Thank you. We have booked properties several times through VRBO and have always had extremely good experiences. This experience with VACASA however was a big disappointment.

Great place to stay, just needs a few things

We loved the house and oh my goodness the pool!!!! There is plenty of room for 2 couples or 4 people sharing 2 bedrooms. The kitchen is stocked well with utensils and housewares. The outside gazebo with lounge chars and TV are great as well. The only negatives we had were that you can only turn the air down to 70 degrees without it freezing up therefore when sleeping it can get a little warm because neither bedroom has a ceiling fan. The other negative is that the guest bathroom has no electric outlets, or at least none that we could find. The reps at Vacasa were very friendly and quick to answer any issues.

The house was beautifully decorated in a quiet and safe area lovated only 15 minutes from the beach. It had everything we needed inside and out. The outdoor space was so relaxing and accommodating with a clean pool, outdoor sitting space equipped with a barbeque, speakers, and television. Absolutely clean property.
