Perfect Oasis in the city

Family including grandparents and infants had a marvelous stay at this property. In town for a wedding at Bishop Museum which was one mile away. This home suited our needs perfectly. The bedrooms/bathrooms had various combinations, so we were able to all be comfortable. The main area we spent almost all our time was the outside patio!! There were 9 of us all enjoying that space with hot tub, comfy seating area, table, hammock swings, swingset and pool. We changed our plans and chose to stay IN 2 of the nights because we had so much fun at the house in the patio area! Relaxing and accommodating. House is exactly as pictured.We have used VRBO for many years and this home ranks number 1 in ‘things they provide’ as far as soaps, detergents, and paper products.

Family Adventure

Our stay in Bradenton included nine people ranging from 2 years old to grandparents. Everyone had a great time and there was always something for everyone to do. The pool was a big hit for everyone and the adults enjoyed the hot tub as well. The location is great with easy access to shopping and to the various beaches. The house is well laid out with plenty of room for everyone. The large back yard was very welcoming and comfortable for the kids to play in. In addition the beach and pool toys were extremely useful and there was a large variety of each for people to use. I would recommend this as a great family getaway home!

Very nice neighborhood with a easy access to all of Bradenton area attractions. Very private back yard. We stayed with our family of 17 aging from 4 to 60 years old and no one ever got bored. Pictures were exact and the house was spotless. The hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond. I'm not sure we could've found a better vrbo in the area.
