Great location! Kids played in the pool multiple times a day. Close enough to the island and beaches without the hassle of the small streets of the island.
We had a great time at David's place in Bradenton. The location was great for the beach, shopping and the wedding we attended at the Ringling. There was plenty of space for our family to spread out. We appreciated the porta crib and baby safety net around the pool as we were traveling with a little one. The interior of the house was as pictured, very clean and stocked with plenty of towels, beach & pool toys. The pool was wonderful and relaxing however, there were no loungers as pictured just chairs. The listing could benefit from updated outdoor front and back yard photos as we found it a little unkept, but the indoors & pool had everything we needed.
The home and location were perfect. We were within minutes of all of the beaches we wanted to visit, with the convince of a grocery store close by as well. Definitely plan on booking again in the future

Thanks Kent - it was a pleasure to host you and thank you for your stay! So glad you enjoyed the property!
The house was fully stocked with utensils, plates, glasses, pots & pans, etc. Overall, the house was clean. The pool was dirty when we arrived. I notified the owner(s) by text. He responded & asked if we were comfortable using the vacuum, he would walk us through how to hook it up. The surface skimmer was missing the screening and there was no pole for it. We were told the pool guy would be there the next day to clean the pool and would leave a new skimmer & pole. The pool guy did clean the pool the next day, but he did not leave a new skimmer. The outdoor pictures showed a bar & fridge under the covered lanai area - the bar was not there. The fridge was, but it did not work. The pictures showed 2 pool chairs in the middle area, near the covered portion and 2 chairs in the 1 corner of the pool deck - neither of the pool chairs were there. The 2 beds that were slept in, sank a bit towards the middle. The rest of the furniture was comfortable. The owner did explain that the outside of the house was being painted and apologized for any inconvenience. The painters finished cleaning up when we arrived. The garage door was broken & did not work well, there were some "patches" on the door, but they were getting worn. I blame the property manager(s) - as when we did contact the owner, (who was out of town), - he apologized again, stating the painters were driving him a bit crazy. It was stated that the Prop. Mgr. was on-site, they should have noticed all of the negative issues.
We had five adults and one child and this house was perfect! Plenty of room, very clean, kitchen equipped with everything we needed. Host even let us check in a little early. Would recommend and stay again! Pool was perfect!
Wonderful property. Minutes from all of the beaches on Anna Marie Island. We loved the privacy of such a large yard. The set up of the house is great for larger groups, there were 7 of us. The host is engauged with ensuring everything on the property is up to par. He is amazing, We recommend anyone considering a trip to the Bradenton Anna Marie Island area book this property. You will not be disappointed.
We booked this for a weekend after a whirlwind week at Disney. The house was exactly as listed! We loved just relaxing in the pool! Communication with host was super quick as well.
House was just as listed. Plenty of space. Pool was big and perfect temperature. Very nice area of Bradenton. Short drive to the beaches on Anna Maria Island
We were very pleased with this property and the location in regards to Anna Marie and especially close to De Soto national park. Beds were comfy and plenty of beds for guests. Our grandkids enjoyed the pool and David was always available to answer any questions we had. Would love to come back!
The house was pretty much exactly as it's pictured and described. Close to everything we wanted and a 5 minute drive to the beach. Easy communication with the host.
We had the best time in this home. Communication with David was great and check in was so easy. We had plenty of space to spread out and the kitchen was well stocked. Has such a nice lanai area and was where we spent most of our trip and all of our meals. So many extras that made this home exceptional, an extra refrigerator on the lanai, a large pantry for all the groceries, beach towels, great water pressure in the master shower, lovely pool, large washer and dryer, high chair, plastic storage containers for leftovers and lots more. It is located very close to Holmes beach and so easy to pop over for the day or even just to watch the sun set. Plenty of stores in the area and not far from the Red Barn Flea market. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Thank you David for being a wonderful host and sharing your home with us!
We traveled from middle TN with 6 adults and 2 children ( 2 yrs old and 4 yrs old ). We absolutely loved the salt water in-ground pool!! The kids woke up every day wanting to get in the pool. We went to manatee beach, our first day arriving, and it was very crowded. So next time we went to coquina beach, and it was a whole lot better! The beaches were about 20-30 mins away but we spent more time in the pool than the beaches. Overall, it was a great vacation. We had issue with the washing machine, not working properly and leaking water into the floor but it never got fixed or replaced while we were there, and we stayed for a week.. then had shocking issue with oven.. I was in touch with the co- owner the whole time we were there and washing machine didn’t get fixed or replaced and I explained oven shocking me after being a little wet on my hands and feet, the last day we were there and never heard anything else. Other than those couple of issues, it was a great stay! Beautiful 70s model house with in-ground pool in the hot weather, was a nice vacation from home.

There were several issues that significantly impacted our family's stay.
1) Reached out to owner about nonfunctioning remotes. Promised batteries but never delivered.
2) Owner does not believe in curtains. The massive front bay windows leak water and anyone outside can see into the living area.
3) Urine odor smacks you in the face when entering the door.
4) Inside house was moderately clean but they have a bad spider and ant problem. Bug man was last documented at residence in 2022.
5) The grill was a HUGE let down. Not functional! The handle is broken, the lower air damper does not exist and the grill grates were so NASTY and beyond repair/cleaning. I spent two hours attempting to clean the grates but no success.
6) The property is no longer fenced in. The remaining fence is dilapidated allowing neighbors to view the property. The portion of fencing that was removed was in the front lawn.
7) The screened in pool cover is not screened in as some panels are missing screen.
8) Numerous light bulbs were burned out.
9) The dishwasher is old and does not clean the dishes.
10) The back yard had more beer bottle caps to step on versus grass. Last renters or cleaners did not pick these up. Good thing our kids found them.
It is very clear that there is no upkeep and the owner does not take the effort to ensure the property is nice.
Good communication with owner. We had a few hiccups throughout the weekend but nothing that stopped us from doing what we wanted. So close to the beach and fishing piers. The pool with birdcage and covered area with fans was where we were the majority of the time. It will be our choice when wanting to vacation near Anna Maria Island.
This is one of many VRBO’s where we have stayed. The landscaping is not welcoming and hints at lack of up keep however the house itself was clean and offered plenty of space. The one complaint we had was that the toilet paper was almost out and NO extra rolls were anywhere in the house. The pool is lovely and maintained. The heating elements on cooktop do not regulate temp well. No extra paper towels either. So unless you stop at store first, owners need to address this. Sound on main living room TV is distorted. These issues can be easily addressed. Location is great!
Place was great and very spacious as well. We had a great time!

About the host
Hosted by David Barone
Born and raised in CHILLY Rochester NY I have always loved going to FL for vacation.... ever since I was a child the sun, ocean, beach and palm trees have always drawn me in! Now as a father one of my favorite things to do is take my wonderful family on vacation and enjoy time together.
Why they chose this property
This property, located in the beautiful area of Palma Sola in Bradenton, is the ideal vacation home for several reasons. First, it has a HUGE heated pool and private backyard with enough room to enjoy with several families. Second is its proximity to Anna Maria Island, which is only about 5 miles, and third, the area of Palma Sola has a TON of great parks to explore. Robinsons Preserve is a quick bike ride away while Warners Bayou and Ft. Desoto National Park are all within a few miles. There are also several boat ramps for travelers that have their own boat and want to get out on the water.
What makes this property unique
I absolutely love the backyard of this home. The screened in, heated, pool is perfect to enjoy hot Florida days and the backyard allows enough room for yard games like corn hole, bocce ball, or whatever else you like to enjoy!
