We enjoyed our stay at the Sabal Key property! It was the perfect size and centrally located. The property was clean and we had easy communication with the manager. Great experience.

So glad you enjoyed the central location and clean property-thank you for staying with us
Condo was like brand new inside! Very comfortable beds and all the equipment needed to stay. Location was good, close to supermarket, about 15-20 mins from beach/restaurants. I would caution that the beach chairs are 2 rusted out old chairs and the cooler is just a styrofoam cooler so you'll probably want to bring your own beach supplies.

Thanks for the 5-stars! So glad you enjoyed and liked the location. Thank you also to alerting us to the chairs-they have been replaced. The beach saltwater can really harm them if not washed off. Thanks for being such a great guest!

Thank you so much for reviewing! We are happy to hear everything was perfect for you and hope to have you back.
Our family had a great stay here. The unit had everything that we needed and was clean. The heated pool was awesome and the access to tennis and pickleball courts were fantastic. Very close to grocery stores and amenities and a short drive to the beach! Seamless check in process and issues with the living room TV were rectified immediately. Property management was very responsive and helpful throughout.

It was a pleasure hosting you Angela and we really appreciate the wonderful review! We hope you will visit again!
A cute, quiet, townhome located in a safe, gated-community. It was comfortable, convenient and fully met our needs. The kitchen was not fully equipped if your plans included cooking primarily at home, however.
This was a great place for a 4-day stay during my son's rowing competition. We left a pack of basket coffee filters for future guests. :) Only regret is that we only made it to the pool on our last evening -- wonderful, gorgeous pool! Wish we'd gone every night!

The townhouse was clean and fully set up to accommodate us. The property manager was easily reached. We had a toilet in one of the bathrooms stop flushing, and they sent someone out same day and replaced it. No issues at all!

We enjoyed hosting you and thank you for the review! We never like when things stop working, but being a local management company, we have the advantage of making speedy repairs to ensure you enjoy your stay. Thank you for being a great guest.
The property was good for 2 to 4 adults with both master bedrooms upstairs. I was a little disappointed that you had to drive to the pool, but the pool was heated and not crowded. A couple safety suggestions, put a warning tape on the very first step coming down the stairs and replace the rug in the living area with the turned up edges is a trip hazard. Possibly lubricate the lock on the patio door, it is hard to open. While the beach is not far, it takes a while to drive there. Overall, a good stay.

Thanks for taking time to leave a review. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Being a larger development, it is easiest to take the 1-2 minute drive to the clubhouse/pool area, but we are sorry that you were disappointed with that. We do appreciate your suggestions and hope to host you next time!

Make Sure the Pool is Open Before You Book
I wish I would have been informed that the pool was closed for repair. I would have never gone if I had known. When I booked in September there was no mention of it. Driving to the beach each day and sitting in traffic for over an hour and hope you find parking when you get there is not my ideal of a vacation.

We understand your frustration with the pool being closed and the renovations taking longer than expected. We wish we had known they wouldn't be done as scheduled as we would have informed you immediately. Unfortunately, in this situation we had very little control over the community pool renovation. Even though our property agreement states we are not responsible for pool issues, we felt it fair to give you the credit amount we did anyway, because we truly understood the disappointment.
We enjoyed our stay in your townhome! It was comfortable, clean, quiet and safe! We appreciated the open floor plan so that when someone is in the kitchen they still are able to converse with others in the dining and living room areas. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have our own full bathrooms, plus the half bath downstairs. Everything was very clean and it is always nice to have laundry (and provided detergent pods) right in the unit. The screened in porch was a great place to sit and read or have a quiet chat and/or meal, while overlooking the pond and watching the bird activity. The pool, which is a drive to the adjacent community, is lovely and refreshing, with warm water, ample amount of lounge chairs, outdoor shower and restrooms. We never experienced a large crowd there, and we usually went twice a day. We could float around with the provided pool noodles and lounge and dry off with provided beach towels. Sabal Key is a gated community and quiet and this townhome is an end unit so we never heard our neighbor! We felt safe and the location provides easy access to routes to take you to the beach, shopping, museums, etc. The kitchen has all the basic needs covered, including blender, toaster, dishwasher, microwave. We enjoyed our stay here very much and would highly recommend this VRBO offering! One precaution, but not a deterrent, the stairs have a short tread and you just need to pay attention on trips up and down. Thank you for our wonderful stay!

We really appreciate the 5 stars and your time to leave this review! So glad to hear you enjoyed all that the community has to offer and we hope to have you back!
Our experience in Bradenton was probably one of the worst we have had. When we walked in, the refrigerator had leaked water all over the floor. The reason we gave it two stars was that Debbie, the property manager always responded to my call or text, and I did call her a number of times. Refrigerator had to be fixed twice. The dishwasher needed a repairman twice, and finally the last week we were there, it was replaced. All these service calls and repairs and delivery caused us to change plans and wait for service. I did notify Debbie that there was dog poop everywhere in the complex. Not too many people picked up.
We were expecting my sister to visit us during our stay and she loves sitting by the pool. It was closed the entire time we were there. We were on vacation for the month, and when we arrived, there were only 4 plates, and silverware. Debbie did buy us some more dishes when I told her we were washing everything by hand because of the broken dishwasher. We will never book with this company again.

We're sorry you had a disappointing stay. Our operations manager Debi responded to your every request and although there were problems with the ice maker in the refrigerator and dishwasher we fixed those problems and ended up buying a brand new dishwasher. We contacted the HOA of the community and they told me the pool was only closed one day during your stay.

Mediocre at best
So the area in general is underwhelming and I felt that the unit seemed small as far as the general living room area is concerned. The stairs are steep and if your not careful you can catch your ankle area on the way down. This happened both to me and my 15 yr old son. The pool and recreation area were too far really to walk but that was not the impression I got from vrbo. The downstairs tv was not a smart tv and an older model at that. The Sony delivered a clear picture but could not get Netflix or Amazon prime any longer as the tv is outdated. The kitchen was ok as was the laundry area. And the machines worked well. Also the dishwasher delivered great service. I guess what I objected to most was a message at the end of the stay which no doubt went to everyone renting. It seemed to state that knives forks and whatever would be counted and we would be accountable for anything not there. This is for most people obvious and needed not be said. In general it seemed that the owners were constantly trying to save a buck. I would not stay there again
Renting was easy online , but was very confusing because I found the property on vrbo but then I was sent to itrip . I didn’t know I was dealing with both and also paying both . The added fees really make the displayed rate is deceptive . Condo was just as advertised and worked great for our purpose . It was clean and well stocked , had minor issues with fans in the bedrooms not being able to switch to low or medium speed and the remotes for them don’t work . Plus exhaust fan in one bathroom didn’t work but all in all was a nice place . Tips for improvement add one more set of towels per bathroom . Add a tv for the bedroom .
Everything was as listed, property was clean and comfortable. Would recommend this property to others. All around a positive experience. Looking forward to booking this property in the future.
This townhome was clean but it would have been nice if they had stocked more cleaning supplies. There was a swiffer, but no swiffer cloths. The furniture was comfortable. Especially important was that one bed was on the soft side (which was fine for our son), and one was firmer, but still plush. We are used to a king bed, but we both slept good every night. on this queen bed.
I rated this property a 4 as there were only 4 bath towels for 3 people staying a week, and only 3 decent size coffee cups so they had to be hand washed every day.
