VERY recently updated unit that, overall, was nice. Positives: right across the street from Bradenton Beach, walkable distance to Bridge street, dining, and shopping. Clean with new couch and dining furniture, updated kitchen appliances and counters. Pool is large and warm with ample seating - pool house was still under renovation (from last year’s hurricanes, we presume). Lovely little patio that looks out towards the bay. Nice fishing dock with seating. The only major drawbacks were the second bedroom and doorwall curtains. When we booked the unit the pictures/description showed/described the second bedroom as having two beds but after they updated, there is only one bed. The curtains across the doorwall are very sheer, so hoping those get updated as well, as privacy was an issue since we were forced to use the pullout couch as a third bed. Positive: Management company was very willing to work with us to make the situation right. Check pics to make sure they’re updated to reflect current updates - there is less seating in the family room since the update as there is just one couch now. Overall, would stay here again.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Apr 2026

Thank you for your review. I’m glad the recent updates, location across from Bradenton Beach and walkability to Bridge Street, clean unit, updated kitchen, warm pool, patio, and fishing dock worked well for you. I’m sorry the second bedroom now has one bed instead of two and that the sheer doorwall curtains affected your privacy when using the pullout couch — I appreciate you calling that out. I’m also glad our team was able to work with you to make the situation right. We’ll update the listing photos and description to reflect the current layout and seating, and we’ll look into more private curtains; we’ll also note the pool house repairs in the listing. Thank you for the four-star rating, and we’d welcome the chance to host you again.

Nice location

The condo is quite dated. The sofa and loveseat in living area are small and not comfortable. The floors and shower floor is dirty. The pool and sunroom look much bigger in pictures than they really are. Kitchen equipment is poor.

Home away from home

This is a great property in a great complex. This is truly a home away from home because it has EVERYTHING you need. We know it used to be a primary home, so it has absolutely everything you need for cooking, food storage, serving dishes, pans (it's a bakers paradise!), cooking utensils etc. It has all the appliances you'll need including a toaster oven, toaster, blender, Crock-Pot! and more! They have good books you can read (and there's more in the club house), puzzles and games. The condo has a great layout and a nice placement in the complex. It's on the east side, close to the Bay, so no road noise and close to the pier. (The sunrise on the pier is beautiful.) It's a short walking distance to the front of the complex where the pool is and across the road to the beach. There were 6 beach chairs, an umbrella and a umbrella auger/ holder. The screened in porch was great. The grounds are beautiful. So many complexes are just cement and sand but this has grass and lots of flowering bushes. The pool is fantastic! It's warm! Lots of chairs and chaise lounges, umbrellas and tables. Very friendly, nice people here. They have a few activities including swim exercise, snack night (BYOB) and bingo. Plenty of towels in the condo, including a couple beach towels and they provided basic paper products that you'd need for your stay. They also have non perishables that you can use and leave what you don't use, so basic spices, oil, vinegar, sugar, coffee filters, etc are on hand. The ONLY thing I would suggest is that the carpets be cleaned. There are some spots in the family room in particular that need attention and it looks like it could use a shampoo in general. If you rent here, you'll be very happy. We would definitely come again. Thanks for a lovely week on beautiful and fun AMI!
