Sunset Therapy

We were long time Bradenton residents but moved away a couple years ago. We came back to visit friends and family. The yard was fenced in and perfect for our two dogs. The house was clean and very comfortable and well stocked! We fished on the dock across the street, we watched beautiful sunsets, grilled and swam in the pool! We were very close to shopping and restaurant and made it out to Anna Maria and Longboat key pretty quickly! We would definitely stay again!

Easy to Enjoy!

This is the 3rd year that we have stayed here, and we enjoy it more each year! Great location near Riverwalk, restaurants and downtown, but tucked in a quiet neighborhood looking out onto the scenic Manetee River. Private and well maintained pool in the backyard is an added bonus. Everything about the property is so easy to enjoy!

Great spot on Manatee River

While we had to cut our trip short by nearly a month our time spent there was enjoyable. Any issues we had were quickly resolved by Brent & his wife. The sunsets were spectacular nearly every evening from the front of the house!

Great house!!! If You’re Bringing A Boat Read This

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Sunset Therapy. We have stayed in Bradenton before and wanted the same area. Brent was kind and attentive to our questions and needs. The pool is phenomenal, the kitchen is nicely stocked, having the bikes, and lots of linens made life easy. The view are amazing and the neighborhood is great. Two tips: First- it’s a regular coffee maker no individual pods. Second - if you’re bringing a boat just know that it is about an 45 min to an hour ride (we have a Key West Center Console with a 250 engine) to get to the “turquoise water” and sand bars if you’re wanting to hang out there. So to get to Greer Island and Jew Fish Key expect a longer ride. If you wanna fish and be on the river this place is perfect! We were not unhappy with anything it’s just good information to have so you are prepared. Also, you should definitely go eat at Woody’s River Roo! We went 3 times. LOL. Thank you for a great time Brent!

Family Spring Break

We’ve been traveling to Florida for Spring Break since 2014. This place was one of our favorite houses we’ve rented. We didn’t want to leave. We loved the quiet neighborhood, pool and dock. We spent hours on the dock looking for dolphins, manatee and stingray. Also, the beds are super comfy! Hope we make it back someday.

Spring Break vacation

Overall great location for all things we wanted to do. Took daily trips to AMI which is about 30 depending on traffic. Kids loved fishing off the dock.

Amazing location

Right on the river and an easy drive to St Pete, Tampa, and a bunch of islands and keys. Bradenton also has an adorable river walk, downtown, and arts district just a short bike ride from the house. House has a great layout, heated pool, and everything you’d need to feel comfortable. Enjoyed our time tremendously and would definitely come back! Brent was also incredibly helpful.

Great family getaway.

The house was in a great location, close to beaches and Tampa. Great fishing off the private dock across the street. We had a problem with a bathroom, owner responded quickly to fix the situation. Kids loved having a private pool for a before bed swim.

Road trip to Florida

This was the best vacation I and my family have experienced. The house and property is beautiful.l, made us forget the 28 hour ride most in heavy traffic as soon as we pulled up. The view of the river and the in side the house was immaculate. Extremely quiet and so relaxing. Recommend for any family. Only 30 minutes to Anna Maria Island and 50 minutes to Tampa. Pool was a plus. All my family can say is it’s all over and we’ll never forget it. Also Brent was a perfect host.
