Very good

I wish there were a few more linens for our guests. Other than that, everything was pretty good. The beach is a 3min walk and you are only a short drive from plenty of restaurants and shops. The kitchen was well stocked.
Fantastic location. The pool location is very tricky as it is shared between the 2 condos. The pool is closest to the bay-side and not the ocean side. Took several emails to find where it was located, but we finally found it. Overall, great rental.
Awesome neighborhood and beach. Weirdly shared pool in between 2 different buildings and 4ish apartments. Nice pool otherwise. Modesltly updated old property. No soap/shampoo.

We also apologize that complimentary soap and shampoo were not provided as expected—our local team has been notified to ensure this is corrected for future guests.

This stay came with clean sheets and a good location. Sadly the pictures don’t show you how old and in need of repair this place is. There is an old cigarette smell, holes in drywall, stains on countertops, curtains and walls. Just a gross overall place. Possible mold damage since the floors are rotting. Would not recommend you stay here.

Lovely stay at the beach!
We enjoyed our stay very much! It was comfortable and exactly what we needed as a couple running away from reality for a few days. The couch and bed were comfy, and the air conditioner kept it cool! 🏖
Nice place to stay and just a few blocks away. Appreciated the beach towels and a few items to use at the beach (chairs, boogie boards) since we flew in. The pool was nice and it was a quiet area. We loved the island - the beaches were beautiful. High recommend taking the short drive up the island to Bean Point. Great shells and beautiful beach.

Amazing weekend!
We loved how clean the home was when we arrived. It was very inviting with such a beach vibe and close to the beach! It had everything we needed as well, including beach/pool towels. Great location, close to everything. We will definitely be back to Beach Bungalow E!
We enjoyed the property it was very convenient to beach and the area was a quiet beach town and the neighborhood was great felt safe walking the dog even in the middle of the night.
Other guest were very friendly and shared restaurant suggestions as did we. We will be back.
The house is a great, affordable option on the island. Pros: close to beach, poolCons: this unit is old and in need of cosmetic renovations, would be nice to out location of pool/beach toys on listing, no sheets for roll away mattress and you can’t request them
The bungalow was clean, quite and comfortable. Some things are a little dated, but others have been newly updated. The light switches were thoroughly confusing, but we were able to make things work. I would have loved to have been beach-side, but it's a really short walk to the beach.

Bradenton Beach house
The outside of the property is nothing special. But the inside is very nice. Well kept and clean. Beach towels provided. AC worked very well. The best feature was the POOL. Very nice to come from the beach and wash your body and feet at the outside shower. then taken a dip in the pool. Or just hang at the pool. We had to share the pool with the other quests but it was not a big deal. Lots of items for children an adults to use in the pool as well as chairs and loungers. Nice grills to use for each rental as well as the property was well lit. Great parking spaces.

I love the close proximity to the beach. The pool is amazing and warm. You do share the pool with three other units, but it didn’t seem to bother any of us. The condo is just as it appears in the pictures.

Chill
Updates would be nice. Couch was very uncomfortable and dingy. Pool was nice but had to deal with “Karen” staying in the lower bungalow
Place was good. Pool is one building over but also nice. Place was short of glasses and we were surprised by the lack of any spices, such as salt and pepper. It was nice to have starter pack for laundry, dishwasher, toilet paper and paper towels. Good stay.

Overall, great experience! The beds were all super comfortable! The condo itself was the perfect size.The location was good and walkable to plenty of places or could catch the trolley to get around.
Suggestion to the property owner- location of the pool and w/d was not clear. Luckily, had some nice neighbors who told me location. If you’re not familiar with the area, it’s a little confusing to find out trolley info.

Needs work. Balcony chairs not stable. Sleeps 7 but bedding for 5. No ice trays which is odd since there 's no ice machine. Pictures on wall werent level. We didnt realize pool was in front of a different building. The pull out bed should've been inspected since there were nacho crumbs in the bed. We understand there's been work done since hurricane but maybe the cleaning people should be more detailed. There was no hand wash soap in one bathroom. I could go on but i think you get the picture. Even the pool area needs a bit of pickup and cleaning.

cozy townhouse close to the beach. we enjoyed our stay, however, there were a few hiccups. Beds include a couch bed and a twin bed fold-up in the closet. There were no sheets for these beds when we arrived, but property management was responsive. Additionally, the cold water faucet in the shared bathroom was leaking, flooding the floor.

Thank you for bringing the faucet to our attention--our local manager assured us that this has been repaired. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we hope to host you again.
