Awesome little house... very clean, well stocked, comfortable, great AC, nicely appointed, cozy couches, nice beds, nice big TV, very secure, quiet, and close proximity to the beach. The pool is great, just wish there was a chiller pump as it gets pretty warm because of how hot it is outside. Very pretty canal/bay views, easy check-in, great communication from the host... no complaints whatsoever.

Beautiful Property

This was our first time visiting Anna Maria Island and this home was the perfect spot for our family. We loved watching the sunrise from the swing in the yard, looking out over the bay, the hot tub, and the pool. The house is a short walk to the beach to watch the most beautiful sunsets over the island. There are several good restaurants close by. We also rented a golf cart which made exploring the island a lot fun. We would definitely recommend this property and would love to stay again.

All communication was done in a timely manner. Check-in was simple and convenient. We arrived to the property and was able to enjoy are vacation immediately. The home was in a great location. The area was very quiet at night which made for many relaxing nights outside by the pool or in the jacuzzi. Would definitely stay at this location again.

Perfect Getaway with Mom

I wanted a relaxing, private place for my Mom and I to enjoy for almost a month during winter. This was it! The outdoor space couldn’t be nicer. We loved the sound of the fountain in the pool and the privacy of the outdoor space. It’s about .3 mile walk to beach and garage is stocked with a cart and chairs. Communication with owner was timely. We loved walking everyday on the streets and beach. We will definitely come back again!

Dream House by the water

The house was spotless, so very clean. Professionally decorated. Well stocked with all the items you could possibly need, including beach and pool toys. Awesome neighborhood, waking distance to the beach. Perfect house! We brought our boat and docked it next to the house for the duration of the stay. Plenty of places to explore on the boat. Trailer parking is tight, so plan ahead. Narrow street and 90 degree turns to get to the house. Red tide was present at the beach and waterways. Really sad to see. Fishing was not possible. We chose not to bathe at the beach. Most people did not seemed to mind.

Outdoor oasis!

Our family really enjoyed our stay and would come back! The backyard is an oasis, with something for everyone! The pool and hot tub are great, and you can fish and enjoy the water views from the side yard. We even rented a boat and kept it at the house for our stay. The neighborhood is quiet and private, and it's a quick and easy walk to the beach. The property was very clean overall, which can be tough with beach rentals. The owner was very responsive too. The critique I'd have is that the kitchen is not super well appointed and is not ideal for a family that likes to cook in a lot, but it's workable. Some items were put back in cabinets and drawers by previous guests without being well cleaned, but the owner was having a deep clean done as a follow-up to the feedback to ensure things get addressed. The outdoor furniture could use some attention, and the kitchen/bathroom are in need of an update. All of this being said, you aren't staying here for the inside and you will absolutely want to spend all of your time outside!

Very nice property!

This house is just as advertised. Very clean and nicely decorated. The house had more than ample bath towels and beach towels, kitchen and bath supplies which we appreciated since we flew and couldn’t bring a lot with us. There is a nice coffee maker and ice maker. The pool is beautiful. It’s right on the canal and my daughter was also able to fish and caught two! Rods in the garage. There are beach supplies including chairs and a nice wagon. The beach is a five minute walk away. The beach was very nice and not crowded. If you want to check out a different beach which there are plenty, you will need to drive. We rented a golf cart which worked great to get around the island and get to shopping and restaurants. The only cons would be that the shower is pretty small and there is only one so it took some time for everyone to shower. We knew this going into it. The dishwasher didn’t always clean dishes very well. We sometimes had to rerun it. And the sliding door in the master jammed and was difficult to lock. Otherwise, we had a great time and really enjoyed this house!

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Aug 2021
Stefanie thank you for your review and kind words about the home. Again, I do apologize that you were unable to cancel right before your arrival with a 100% refund. Regarding the dishwasher, we have never heard of an issue from anyone, nor have we had an issue of our own. We have been by since you were there and operated it with no issues. Also the unit is clearly noted as a 2/1 so I am not sure what to say about the shower. There is an outdoor shower in the back with plenty of hot water that can be used if you are trying to speed things along. Finally, yes the sliding door is tricky if you aren’t familiar with the locking portion. I was available and nearby and in constant communication with you during your stay and would have been happy to give a tutorial on how to use it.

Home needs upkeep and problem after problem with rude homeowner

The house it self is in a good location in Bradenton Beach. However upon arrival you can tell that it needs a lot of tlc and updating. Everything is quite old and dated and needed replaced. The dishwasher needed re aligning and kept falling out upon use, we had an ant issue and found numerous small ants under the fridge, stove and bathroom. Every night we would get flying ants in the bathroom. The shower was not cleaned properly and had what looked like mold and needed to be properly cleaned. So we would use the outdoor shower instead. I have never stayed at a vrbo in which the renter didn't supply coffee or tea. The only thing we received as far as supplies was one toilet paper role and some dish soap and body washes and shampoo. One night the lock did not work upon coming back and just kept spinning. Once getting a hold of the home owner they sent someone out to fix it the next day. Then upon fixing the issue ( replacing the battery) they claimed there was nothing wrong with the lock and mentioned the inconvenience of this to my husband to send someone out for us. Pretty much accusing us of saying it was broken. Further more the pool sensor faulted one day. Meaning the pool and hot tub wouldn't heat up. The owner then said they would send someone out to fix it. We didn't hear back about it until the next evening. When someone came to fix it the following afternoon we went just under three days without use. No understanding from homeowner when asked for a refund.

This guest provided this review after she threatened to do so if I didn’t give her money. 1- she said there was ‘an ant’. This home is sprayed regularly and we immediately went to the home and could not locate a single pest. 2- she said the lock wouldn’t work. We immediately went over and again could not replicate the malfunction.. during or after her stay. 3- we accommodated a 4 hour early check in request and a 2 hour late check out request and they were happy as can be… After they left she then requested money for the multiple problems that didn’t exist and when I told her no, she provided this horrible, false review. We have reported to VRBO as these people are con artists and thrive on trying to get a vacation for free. Hosts be warned.
