Highly recommend we had an amazing stay we loved the cleanliness! The pool was great and very good temp. The beds are comfy just very soft pillows. Location was perfect to very convenient lots of shops, stores etc nearby and ofc the beach!! We will be coming back!!
It was a perfect place for us to retreat to in between activities! We typically book a lot of activities while on vacation and this place was our sanctuary! It’s simple, low headache and served our family with all the necessities that we have at home!
Kitchen equipped more than adequate. At dates of our stay, we definitely should have called the 3 days in advance to heat the pool. Although 1 of us 3 did enjoy it. The only negative was the TV tuning, with no instructions to get local news stations. Over all, every thing was OUTSTANDING!

Wonderful stay!
We stayed at the Captain America’s House and it was wonderful! The house was easy to find, in a nice neighborhood, had all the kitchen amenities, lots of pool and beach amenities, good wifi and was clean. Would definitely recommend staying here.
We visited family in the area and we had a great time. The property was great, clean and just perfect for what we needed. The pool was heated and we were able to enjoy some time using the patio. We would definitely come back to this property and 100% recommend to all.
Loved the property quite neighborhood felt like home not far away from the beaches

Pool was not ready when we got there so we were unable to use. Local support addressed it, but still wished we would have been able to have use of the pool. Everything else was wonderful.

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed this home. We sincerely apologize for the issues you have encountered during your stay. We'll continue to work closely with both our local staff and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful getaway in the future.
Our six-week getaway at Captain America Dream was our second visit there. (Our previous extended stay was in January 2025.) We enjoyed a pleasurable vacation in a well-maintained home in a conveniently located and welcoming neighborhood. We appreciated the owner’s upgrades: a new dishwasher and refrigerator, and repairs to the main bathroom, back patio and fence. The landscaping remains extraordinary. This year, we took advantage of the fitness center at the nearby G. T. Bray Park recreation center. Vacasa’s local property manager was very responsive when we needed assistance with a couple minor issues. Again, our only annoyance was the daily charge for heating the pool during a chilly January and February, but the total rental cost was still a fair value. All in all, Captain America Dream is still a favorite for a winter visit to Bradenton/Sarasota.
House was excellent! Well stocked, perfect location and loved playing and exercising in the pool!

Great Home in a quite Surrounding
We really enjoyed our stay and would come back any time we have the opportunity. The house is furnished with so much love that you really feel at home, not to mention the outdoor facilities (pool, outdoor toilet and lanai area). It really was a "dream"
We had a great stay at this property. Looks just the pictures. Loved the pool and pool area. Had everything we needed. ( only negative - house has high ceilings so noise echos a bit )
