Beach Luxury

Pristine beach rental on Bradenton Beach. Very short walk to the ocean, stores, restaurants/bars. Residential neighbors are friendly. Check-in process was seamless. Kitchen is well equipped w/ very nice appliances - just bring your own coffee (and spices if you plan to cook). Beautifully decorated home. Beds are very comfortable w/ quality linens. Plenty of towels provided. Sunset watching & star gazing are a must from the rooftop deck, too! Something to note: the mosquitos are pretty heavy around the pool area, but nothing some bug spray won't resolve. Everything about this property is gorgeous - I would rent here again in a heartbeat!!

Great location

This house was in a great location less than 5 min walk from the beach and short distance from grocery stores most restaurants etc. it did rain a couple times and the entrance to the house did flood but that is out of the host control. Besides that and the mosquitos in the location (make sure to bring bug spray) this was a great place for a big party very spacious and accommodated everyone perfectly! We have 14 in our group for reference!

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear that the location was ideal for easy access to the beach, grocery stores, and restaurants. We appreciate your understanding regarding the rain and flooding, which is unfortunately beyond our control. We’ll certainly keep your tip about the mosquitoes in mind for future guests, and we’re thrilled to hear the space worked well for your large group! We’d love to welcome you and your party back for another great stay!

Beautiful property! 4 King rooms on 3rd floor. 2 King rooms and twin bunk room on the 2nd floor adjacent to the main living area. One of the King rooms on the 2nd floor has a low-profile bed which is better for young people in my opinion. Management staff was very helpful and checked in a couple times over the phone to make sure everything was going good. Property is one block from the beach. An easy walk. Property had plenty of beach towels, rolling cart, noodles, and boogie boards. Our only complaint was the mosquitoes by the pool because it rained a couple nights in a row and the property next door is under construction so the pool in that property is a green mosquito breeding ground. Make sure to purchase your own mosquito fogger and bring extra kitchen trash bags and paper towels as only two spare trash bags and only 1 roll of paper towels are provided.
