We so appreciate your amazing review! Thank you for choosing to stay with us!
A very functional home for a large family gathering. The large table, kitchen and living spaces are the highlight of this property. The pool, outside fire pit and basketball court were used and enjoyed. The host was available and responsive to our needs.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us, Daniel! We so appreciate the positive review!
The house design was ideal for our extended family of 11. The living area was spacious and the kitchen design was open. The home offers many great spots for gathering. Truly as pictured and very welcoming.

Our destination Thanksgiving was a hit! Everyone enjoyed themselves and went on adventures in the area. The kids were in the pool all day and the adults got to spend time with each other. Thank you Megan for making this so easy!

Awww love that we could host you during Thanksgiving! Thank you for choosing to stay with us!
Great House with comfortable beds and excellent Gathering spots.
We were in town for a funeral and were lucky to find this place. It was a great house to allow family to be able to come together and spend time together, but also to have some time to yourself. 10/10 would stay there again if in the area.
We stayed here with 8 adults in town for a Sarasota wedding and it was the perfect space!! House had everything we could possibly need, lots of fun activities / games in the garage, backyard pool was perfect. Host was very responsive for anything we needed or questions we had! 10/10 recommend and we all agreed we would stay here over again.

Beautiful property! Our daughter was married Saturday so it was perfect for all of our family to gather and celebrate! I only wished there would have been more showers.

Thank you for staying with us, Sherri! It was an honor to host you during wedding week!
Everything was perfect during our stay here. Cleanliness is very important to us, and we have nothing but positive things to say. We enjoyed every space the house had to offer, and the bikes were a huge plus! I definitely recommend this house to anyone who doesn’t mind a 10–12 minute drive to the beach.

We had such a great time at this rental. The host, Megan, was super helpful and responded very quickly. The pool was nice and clean, there were bikes in the back garage available for us to ride, and some games in the main garage. 10/10

Hi Rachel! We're honored you chose to stay with us. We're so glad you had such an amazing stay!
Sunshine Social was perfect for our stay in Braydenton for a destination wedding. That said we misunderstood the VRBO ad thinking there were 4 full baths. Not so. There were 2 full baths and 2 half baths. We made it work but rushed for the wedding. Loved the amenities, the cleanliness of the property and the responsiveness of the host and the closeness to Anna Maria Island. Would definitely stay here again. Christine from Massachusetts

Thank you for staying with us, Christine! So glad we could host you during such a special wedding week!
Very clean house, quiet neighborhood. Lots of room for 16 people (8 adults, 8 kids). Kids loved sleeping in the guest house away from the adults and the bunk bed room in the main house. Great kitchen and grill for cooking. Convenient location - close to Target and Publix, restaurants, fishing. Had fun with all the extras - pool toys, basketball hoops, beach chairs and umbrellas, arcade and foosball, bikes. Appreciated communicating with Megan - she responded quickly to any questions or concerns we had. Our family would definitely love to vacation here again!
