The house itself is wonderful. The host was incredibly responsive. The only area that could use improvement is the pool. The concrete is chipped.

We had a great time

The house was a great home base while in Florida. It was clean and had everything we would need, including all the fun stuff for the beach. We would stay here again.

Nice home for a family stay

Enjoyed the convenient location. Nice home. Wasn't able to play pool as the room is too small but that wasn't a deal breaker. Pool was nice.

Great Place to get away or have as a home base for sports

This was a great place and great location to the events that we had while we were in Bradenton. It is close to IMG and Premier Sports Complex’s and it is also close to beaches and great places to eat and shop. The place was perfect when we arrived, clean loved the availability of the pool, and loved the pool table room for some relaxing. Owners communication was quick for any questions and or issues, neighbors were nice and the stay and evening were quiet and peaceful. Will definitely stay again next time we are in town.

Excellent communication with the host both before and during the stay. The house was exactly as expected when we arrived and is very clean. We arrived in the dark so getting the key was a little more cumbersome than expected but an easy check in as a whole. The beds are comfortable and as described but we found that the pillows and towels (while plentiful) could use an update. The pool could use some TLC at some point but was warm, clean, and we quite enjoyed it. Overall, our family of 2 adults and 2 teens were quite comfortable, had all of the necessary amenities, space, and extras like spices, toilet paper, paper towels, wash pods, etc. We would gladly stay in this home if we were in the area again.

Awesome House!!

I'll get right to the point. If you plan on staying in the Bradenton/Sarasota area, you should book this house. The outside is nice and the inside is "holy cow nice"!!!! I thought I was walking into a brand new house! A buddy of mine and I booked this house for a few days while we attended the Baltimore Orioles spring training. It was a perfect location and had everything you need. The pool was nice and warm. There's also a game room with a pool table and a ping pong setup. We plan on going to spring training again next year and will most likely book this house again!! WE LOVED IT!!!!!!!!
