Would definitely stay there again! My family of seven were in town for a family wedding, and we had plenty of room. The house was clean, and the pool and hot tub were so nice. The location is amazing with gorgeous bay views but in very close walking distance to the beach. Bradenton beach was clean and not crowded in that area. We also loved that we could walk to multiple restaurants, shops, etc….on popular Bridge Street. We have been coming to the AMI area for over 10 years and have not ever stayed this far south on the island but definitely will again. Highly recommend this property!
Walking distance to the downtown area for food and shopping. Even found a Green Bay Packers bar which was fun. Construction is still going on next door but the guys were very friendly and they didn't start work till about 9 am so they didn't bother us.
The home was clean, great location, great views of the bay. We did not use the pool or hot tub, but they both looked very nice. We mainly rent a home for sleeping purposes only. We did use the coffee pot, a couple of plates, coffee cups, etc. We would definitely rent the home again.
Perfect location. Beach access literally right across the street

Loved the distance to the beach and dock!
Our family loved being able to fish off the dock everyday. The bait shop nearby was awesome and helped our guys with what bait to use! The walk to the beach was easy and so nice. It was a great house for us!!

Great home
Host was very attentive to our questions and helpful. Great location with views of beach and bay. Tons of beach chairs, floats etc
The view of the bay was beautiful. The back deck area was one of our favorite places to sit, read a book and relax. We loved the proximity to the beach- just a short walk across the street. A gulf coast sunset is like no other. It was just a short walk to local shops and restaurants as well- perfect for a family. Sidewalks made all of the things you could want, accessible by walking. We loved the ice cream shop in the little village and there are plenty of options for restaurants. Just fyi- the photos show a hot tub connected to the pool but I’m not sure if description says that it doesn’t work. I had assumed it would be working. When I realized the water for the pool needed heated to be at a warmer temperature than what it’s set to, I reached out but it was too late due to the brevity of our stay (they need advanced notice). When we pulled onto the street where the property is, we were initially confused. There is construction taking place directly beside the unit and between the trucks and heavy equipment parked there, it made it hard to see the property from the street.

The house was awesome the kids loved the pool. The dock at the back kept my 12 year old busy the whole time fishing. The beach was just a short walk away and the outdoor showers made clean up so easy after a day at the beach. Hope to stay again next year.
Great place! We really enjoyed the property and would definitely stay there again.

Great Location!!!
We enjoyed the house and the location. An easy walk to the beach. Fishing right off the back dock. The house is within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Great view from the living area and back pool area. House was clean. Vacasa was helpful and quick to help with a door handle issue.

Good location with walking distance to the beach. Cleanliness of pool and request for an iron went unresolved. Bed sheets with stains.

The property was amazing! Super location. Pool was clean. Pier had been rebuilt. House accommodated the ten of us well. Could have used a new frying pan and a smaller saucepan. But all in all this place was great.

Fantastic Property
We had a wonderful time at this property! The house was well appointed, clean and situated in a perfect location to easily access bay, gulf beaches, bike path, and all downtown restaurants!
My family enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the proximity to the bay with attached dock out back and short walk to the beach. Couldn't have asked for more at the price.
This property is rebted through vacasa. It is in a great location, but hard to find at first. The address they send you is not in google, but you turn in between two houses that are under construction in a small alley way to get to house. House was clean and easy to get to beach. They had chairs and toys for beach and on site pool. We loved the dock and fished every night off it. Kitchen had bare minimum of supplies, but we made due. Construction next door, and will start building soon. Would stay here again though!

Loved the entire house. The pool, the dock and of course room for my family to be together for a week.
Had a great experience. The minor issues we had they were prompt to correct. The location was perfect. Will definitely book again in the future.

Amazing home!
We have stayed at this home two (2) years in a row! Very spacious and in the most perfect area! We love the view of the bay while sitting on the porch or relaxing in the pool and hot tub. The beach is only steps away!
