My family and I had a great time at this place. There was tons of room and space for everyone and the location was perfect on the water for a boat. Tons of games and things to do for the kids. Just an amazing place.
We just need a place to stay a few days to go to a family and friends get together to say goodbye to my brother. That having been said, it would be a great vacation house, and cheaper for 4 people than a hotel in the area.
The property was exactly as described and the amenities are great! The home has plenty of open space for our group of 7 to spread-out. Very peaceful neighborhood with almost no traffic.
Had a wonderful stay at Lauren’s property. It was very clean and she was very quick to respond to questions! Were there to visit my aunt and will definitely stay here again when visiting.
We stayed for the nights while visiting family in the area. The house had everything we needed during our stay. The host was also very easy to communicate with and answered all questions quickly.

Amanda,
I am happy to hear that our home had everything you needed for your stay! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you find yourself traveling back to Bradenton.
This was as comfortable as it gets. Everything you could ask for in a home away from home. Lauren is a great host. Thank you for offering a well put together rental
Great stay! The location of the property was just what we needed. Very clean and comfortable in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. We will absolutely return when we plan our next trip to the area. Thank you.
We booked this house only days away from the July 4th holiday and it didn’t disappoint. The neighborhood and location is perfect! Very close to I 75 and on the water with very quick access to the manatee river which gives you access to all the favorite local boating spots. The actual has was clean and comfortable. As described and no issues there. The host was very accommodating and communicated well. I can easily see us using this VRBO again.
Stayed with some cousins to watch some spring training games. Great house, everything was advertised, well stocked, great communication. Met both owners, very nice. Highly recommend
This is the second time we have stayed at this beautiful property. Location, Price, and the house are all amazing.
Highly Recommend!!!!

About the host
Hosted by Lauren Brandt
Hi! I am Lauren, your host. I was born and raised in Bradenton, Florida. Bradenton is a wonderful town that has so much to offer. Our family enjoys exploring the outdoors, fishing, and traveling the United States.
Why they chose this property
We bought this home to raise our son in a beautiful, safe, and family friendly neighborhood. We love the quick and convenient access to the Manatee River, the occasional visit from a dolphin or manatee, and the views of the sunrise and sunset from the balcony.
What makes this property unique
The Anchor Estate is a beautiful home that is big enough for large families while still being affordable for small families. You and your family can enjoy the yard games, relax in the sun, or fish off the dock. There is something for everyone at our home!
