This was the perfect vacation home!

The house was very clean. The layout of the house is perfect. We had family for 1 week of our month . Our family was at at 1 end with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. We were in the beautiful master in the other end. The house has a cozy feel, yet plenty of room. It is decorated beautifully throughout.The pool area was awesome. Loved to wake up and go for a morning swim before we started our day. Rhonda is wonderful. She met us when we arrived and took us through the house and made sure we knew everything to feel right at home. Rhonda takes pride in her homes and wants to make sure her guests have the best time. We felt very comfortable in this house. We asked Rhonda to turn the pool heat. Within a few hours we were swimming in a perfectly heated pool. Can't wait to come back!

Attractive house in riverside neighborhood

This house was a great fit for our our needs. It was close to my family member, it was the perfect size and the pool was lovely. I really liked the layout of the house and we loved the little river that is behind the houses across the street. We appreciated the snacks and water that the owner left and the paper products. A downside was that the master bed and the twin beds could use updated mattresses and the master bed could use new linens.

Excellent rental experience!

The host of this property is very nice and easy to work with. The check in was simple and the house was exactly as described in the listing. Everything was clean and sanitized. One nice surprise was the attention to detail. There were plenty of supplies in the house and even some snacks. The house is decorated just like the listing - very beachy and lovely accessories. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely rent from Rhonda again. Nice neighborhood, lots of shopping and restaurants nearby and a wonderful host. What more could you ask for?

Great vacation spot

I highly recommend this location for family and friends. The heated pool was a plus for the grandkids as there is no place over 5 feet deep. Rhonda went out of her way to supply everything you need on such a vacation. The location i a close to the beach and many restaurants. Be ready for a special vacation.

Nice house and location. However mattress very soft in master bedroom. Master bath needs updates in sink area. Open shower needs enclosure to prevent water from spraying and excessive clean up. Tile Floor gets wet and slippery that can dangerous to walk on.

Quiet neighborhood and close to shopping.

The pool is fantastic and master bedroom, master bathroom was huge and very nice. The living room was also nice. The grill was clean and worked great. The negatives are the area rugs needed a cleaning. The blinds in the master bedroom were missing slats, the blinds in all rooms but one did not work properly, there was a door in the guest bathroom that lead outside to the pool that had a curtain instead of a blind so you couldn’t really use it. The dishwasher had rollers on the pullout that were broken. There were other things that needed the owners attention.

Perfect winter getaway!!

We stayed for 12 nights in January. The house was spacious and comfortable, and the community was quiet and safe. The heated pool and large backyard seating area made for a perfect location to relax outside when the weather was nice. On cooler days the house was nicely located for trips to nearby shopping. We used the kitchen and the grill for meals at the house and also sampled some of the many local restaurants. Rhonda was a great host. She was very responsive to any questions we had about the property and the Bradenton area. We hope to stay here again!!

Perfect Vacation House

My family (including in-laws) stayed at this property over Thanksgiving. The house was in a great location allowing easy access to the I-75 and Hwy. 64. The house was well equipped and perfect for cooking and hosting local family. The biggest hit was the heated pool as my kids couldn't get enough of it. Rhonda was very friendly and responsive to all our needs. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Nice house, peaceful location, disappointing treatment from property manager

We rented the property for about two weeks during Christmas and New Years time. Few days before our arrival she asked me if we will use the pool and if we wanted it to be heated for extra charge...after checking the weather I decided that we do not need to spend extra money for the heated pool since it was supposed to be 80s during the time of our stay and we didnt know how often we will use it. When we arrived at the house, everything was nice, clean and without problems (which I let Rhonda know). In the meantime the fridge started to leak, the sink in the common bathroom was clogged, light in the laundry room was not working, mattresses in the bedrooms were way too soft and the cabinet door in the master bathroom was broken... those are the things that I mention to Rhonda but it didnt bother me much and I told her to fix it when I leave. The bigger problems started few days before our departure time. First, I received voicemail from Rhonda complaining that there are rusting stains in the pool and that we must have left something metal in the water. I explained to her that we literally used pool twice by that time and nobody had anything metal in there. Few minutes later, she texts me that there is the dog at the house and that we did not get the permission to have the dog with us. It already made me upset because we only look at the houses that are pet friendly and I was sure that arrangements were made.. anyways we paid extra pet fee right away. Few weeks after our vacation Rhonda emails me with false accusations that: 1. we had broken the pool heater locked mechanical boxpool (which I dont even know what is or even where it is located, if wanted to have the heat in the pool i would pay for it.) 2. the pool had two huge rust stains at the bottom by something that we left in the pool causing the metal to stain the bottom of the pool (again, this is insane accusation because we almost didnt use pool). 3. Also after our departure five piles of dog feces on the premises that was not cleaned up by guests upon departure.( we cleaned after the dog and we could have missed something but it should not be too much of the big deal) I just wanted to make everyone aware that Rhonda is trying to make as much money on her property as possible regardless if her claims are ridiculous and false. She clearly has no idea how to run her business. She says she has proof that I made the damages, which is insane.

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda

Host profile image
We fell in love with the Bradenton area twenty two years ago and decided to purchase this home as overflow for our other vacation property and for our families to enjoy. The proximity to Busch Gardens, Disney and the beach is what attracted us to this city. Whether you like to shop, golf, baseball with the Pirates, or enjoying local orange groves at Mixon Fruit Farms Bradenton has something to offer everyone that visits.

Why they chose this property

This home has it all, private backyard, community setting, centrally located, close to I-75, beaches, shopping, and close to downtown. Easy to hit the interstate and be at Prime Ellenton outlets in 10 minutes, Tampa in 45 minutes, or Orlando in 90 minutes, and the new mall at University Town Center is 10 min while IMG Academy is about 20 minutes away. This home has plenty of space for the whole family, grandchildren, 2 couples can fit comfortably and is located on a back street. The home itself is one of the best homes in this subdivision. The amenities are too many to list but the backyard oasis is one the best you will find without being directly on the beach. This home meets all of our extended families needs and there is plenty of room for the family dog to run in the backyard.

What makes this property unique

Backyard entertaining area that could easily fit 10 people for a fantastic Florida vacation. Really there is no need to go to the beach when everything you need is at this home. When you think of a Florida home and living the ultimate Florida lifestyle this home would fit the bill. You can open all 4 of the sliders and hear the pool from every room. The home is private with no back neighbors only two side neighbors. Easy commute to IMG, Orlando, Tampa, or Naples.
