Good place and friendly management!
Stayed for 7 days with family. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. Was originally supposed to be 5 days but we extended it to 7 while there and experienced no issues from management company. They made it easy and convenient staying longer. Pros: Nice house. Clean. Looks just like the pictures. Easy to check in and out. Friendly property manager. Cons: We paid the fee for pool heat and the hot tub to be warm. Pool and hot tub cannot be heated at the same time. This was inconvenient at times because the kids complained of a cold pool while we attempted to sit in the hot tub. Debris gets in the pool easily because it’s not closed in. Everyday we needed to clean the pool. They do provide a net and it doesn’t take long to clean. We also were there when it was windy every single day. Therefore, weather could be to blame. We had trouble with the fridge not getting cold but a repair person came within minutes to fix it. After they left we experienced no issues with the fridge. We came during spring break, says via the description it would be 15 minutes to Anna Maria beach which is probably correct if it was not busy. This review is based off of a peak time of the year so remember that when reading this. It took us a little over an hour to get to the beach from the house because of the traffic which made it inconvenient to go the two times we did go.

Family getaway
Place was beautiful, backyard and pool was a great spot to get together. The only complaint is that, for the price, enough household items like toilet paper, paper towels, and garbage bags should be included based on the amount of people staying. We shouldn’t have to purchase these items ourselves when the listing states it can accommodate all of us.

Bradenton house rental
We are not people who write reviews, good or bad, but we could not let this situation pass... We rented as snowbirds from NJ for two months. the first week the following had to be addressed: no heat (it was 40 at night) , broken toilet, bbq grill was a rusty mess. The property manager responded quickly to " band-aid" these problems: turned the heat on, jiggled the toilet and bought some parts for the inside of the grill. Then the palm rats showed up. We trapped one a night for SIX nights on the kitchen counter, before holes were plugged, more rat traps set inside and out and rat poison set around the house. this worked for a few weeks before they showed up again in a beach bag and in the cabinet containing glassware. we lived with the thought they would show up anytime. Pluses: comfortable beds and plenty of kitchen utensils, pots and pans. Its obvious the owner does not want to put any money into maintaining this property or put in any real repairs.I would not recommend this house to anyone.

The house was clean and plenty of room for the 5 of us staying. The tv in one of the rooms we could not get to work and when it did come on it was glitching. Other than that we have no complaints. It was a very nice stay and I would recommend this house.

Wonderful winter holiday
This property was great. The backyard with pool and hot tub were amazing. The house was very large, perfect for everyone to spread out. It was so convenient having beach gear provided, and a washer and dryer to clean up post beach. We had a slight miscommunication about the pool being heated, but that was corrected quickly. The only complaints were that the beds were uncomfortable, and the water pressure in the showers was weak. But overall, I would love to stay at this house again. It was perfect for the price we paid!
