We’re so happy to hear that you found the house clean and comfortable, and that you enjoyed both the heated pool and the decor. It means a lot to us to know you had such a pleasant stay and appreciated the details we’ve put into making the home inviting.
We loved our stay in this home! It was the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed in. The house was lovely and just as described with many nice touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The HUGE screened lanai, heated pool and fire pit were so wonderful and made for such a relaxing time in the backyard. The grill was in excellent condition, a rare find in rentals. Beds and linens were nice and comfortable; lots of plush throw blankets to wrap up in. We greatly appreciated use of the pool/beach towels as we flew in and didn’t want to have to pack those. The neighborhood was quiet and felt extremely safe, and was just a 4 minute car ride to Target, Publix and many other stores and restaurants. Also a short 10-12 minute drive to Anna Maria Island a roughly 45 minutes to PIE airport. We would definitely recommend this rental and would hands down stay here again!

Thank you so much for the incredible review, Angie! Hearing that this was the cleanest rental you've ever stayed in is the absolute highest compliment we could receive. We take immense pride in our 5-star cleaning standards, so I’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to our cleaning crew!
We are so glad you got to fully enjoy the backyard oasis—from the heated pool and fire pit to the pristine condition of the grill. We always try to think of the little things, like saving you luggage space by providing plush beach towels and cozy throw blankets, so it’s wonderful to hear those touches made you feel right at home.
You perfectly highlighted why we love this Bradenton location so much—having the peace and safety of a quiet neighborhood, while still being a quick 4 minutes from Publix and just a short 10-12 minute drive to the gorgeous beaches of Anna Maria Island, truly offers the best of both worlds.
You were absolutely stellar guests, and we would hands-down love to host you and your family again the next time you need a Florida getaway. Safe travels until next time!
Warmly,
Maria and Rick
We had a great stay and couldn’t have asked for anything more. The screened in back porch was the best and the pool was warm. Had everything that we needed. Great location. Would definitely rent this house again.

Thank you for the kind review, Molly. We are so happy that you enjoyed the screened back porch and warm pool. We hope you return soon!
Such a great place to stay. We had a wonderful time, plus all the extras were fantastic. They have items for the beach and pool. Also we paid to have the pool heated. It was the perfect temp! I can’t say enough good things about the house and communication while there.

Thank you so much Yvonne for your kind words and review. We really appreciate it! We are happy you and your family enjoyed your stay, and we hope to welcome you back sometime soon.
This home provided the perfect getaway for two couples escaping winter in the northeast. It was clean, nicely decorated, and well stocked for our two week stay. Beds were very comfortable. The lanai, pool, and fire pit provided just what we needed for relaxing, playing games, and socializing. The host was quick to respond to our questions. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a home in Bradenton!

Thank you so much Susan, for such a nice review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay.
We found the homeowners to be very responsive to any questions that we had about the property. The house is in a very convenient location with grocery stores and restaurants nearby.
A lovely home in a quiet neighborhood which is well equipped for all of your vacation needs. If you just want to lounge around the pool, have cocktails on the lanai or head to the beach the house has all the amenities you will need.
We would definitely rent this home again if we decide to vacation back in the Bradenton - Sarasota area.

We are delighted to hear that you loved our home and found it well equipped and convenient to everything. We look forward to hosting you again!
We had a great stay in Bradenton with our group of moms & daughters! Quiet neighborhood, well-appointed, lovely decor. Communication was great with the owners. They pre-heated the pool, left clear instructions for everything. The WiFi was glitchy but the owners were on top of it and had it fixed right away. We had a great time. Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
We had a great stay at this Bradenton property and would absolutely recommend it. The hosts were extremely responsive and easy to communicate with from start to finish, which we really appreciated.The home itself had so many thoughtful touches that made our stay comfortable—shower toiletries already stocked in the bathrooms, plenty of towels, coffee supplies, and even ice ready to go. Those little details really made a difference.During our trip, temperatures unexpectedly dropped and the house became a bit cold due to a heater issue. The hosts immediately offered to send someone out for emergency service, which we truly appreciated. We chose to use the extra blankets provided in each room instead, and felt well taken care of. These things happen, and we don’t fault the hosts at all—their willingness to address it right away spoke volumes.The 4-bedroom layout was perfect for our group, allowing each of us to have our own space while still having plenty of room to gather together in the dining and lounge areas. Overall, a very comfortable, well-equipped home with attentive hosts. We’d gladly stay here again!
This was a great house. Each of the rooms were clean and spacious. The back screened in porch was also great and the pool. The only thing to realize is that there is only 1 bathroom for a 4 bedroom house. Make sure to plan accordingly. We would definitely stay here again.
It was a very nice house with strict rules beca7se of the neighbors. We enjoyed our stay.

You are completely right—we do hold our property to high community standards! Because our home is nestled in a peaceful, established residential neighborhood, we strictly protect that tranquility. Our guests (especially families traveling for baseball tournaments or visiting IMG Academy) absolutely love this because it guarantees them a safe, quiet environment and a flawless night's sleep every single evening.
Thank you for being such respectful, wonderful guests and honoring the community standards. We would gladly welcome you back to our home anytime! Safe travels!

About the host
Hosted by Maria and Rick
We're from the midwest and are empty nesters. We love to travel, particularly to beach areas. We really wanted a home close to the beautiful, white sand beaches of the Gulf, particularly in the Anna Maria Island area!
Why they chose this property
We love how beautiful and peaceful our neighborhood is and the ease in which we can get to the beaches, but also to other nearby attractions and activities without difficulty.
What makes this property unique
We resurfaced the pool in 2022, and it is a beautiful fairly large pool. We really love having a huge screened lanai with an overhead metal roof which blocks the sun but also allows one to enjoy the outdoors. Our backyard pool area is so peaceful and abuts a very quiet section of the neighborhood. It is so relaxing, beautiful and rejuvenating!
