Wonderful Vacation Home

We stayed at this property and found it's location to be perfect! Very close to Anna Maria, Robinson Preserve, Botanical Gardens & Ft. Desoto Memorial Park. We went to Phillies & Pirates spring training during our stay. The beaches here are beautiful! The house had everything we needed for a great stay. It was very clean and fully stocked. We spent a lot of time in the pool and out in the lanai. Would recommend this vacation home.

Loved this home

We stayed here recently with friends and really enjoyed our vacation at this home. There is a shopping center fairly close by that has everything needed. Best location in NW Bradenton because we were very close to Anna Maria. We also spent time in Long Boat Key and Sarasota which are both close by. I like to cook and really appreciated the fully stocked kitchen. The home was newly decorated and well equipped, which helped to make our trip really nice.

VERY NICE PROPERTY!

Staying at this vacation home made our trip very enjoyable. We were extremely happy with the decor and amenities that the property had. The home was very open & spacious with a fully equipped kitchen - this made for preparing meals easy. Each bedroom was tastefully decorated with beach themes. The fenced yard was a nice asset as were the numerous beach chairs, floats & cooler. My family & I enjoyed many games of ping pong & cornhole. The location of this home is ideal.

One of the best rentals I've ever booked. Communication was outstanding and response was quick. Kitchen was fully stocked including appliances, sharp knives, and assorted tools that are not typically provided which made cooking during our week long stay easy. Bedding was comfortable, basic provisions were provided, and recreational items were clean, inflated,and stored in an organized manner ready to use. The home is located within walking distance of preserve/botanical garden with walking trails and kayaking, and minutes from beach, shopping, and resturants. Most appreciated was that the home was IMMACULATE, no funk anywhere-thank you. I intend to book again and again.

Beautiful house & pool, and fully equipped & stocked with towels, toiletries, and kitchen appliances, etc., including ping pong table, cornhole, board games, beach chairs / pool floats & noodles…Very close to downtown Bradenton (Pier 22 restaurant) & Anna Maria Island (AMI) (Historical Bridge Street). Our family had so much fun & will definitely choose Dreams of Paradise next time we head for AMI again. Thank you to Lucy from the DofP management team, too!

The home we stayed in was big, in a nice area, and clean. The pool area was also enjoyable. We did run into a few bumps during the stay that put a damper on some of our visit. The property management did address these but the timing wasn’t always great.

Beautiful home, great location!

The house was great, exactly as described. We are a family of four, two teenage daughters, we particularly loved the pool and outdoor living space. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay, including a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and linens, pool toys, beach chairs, coolers, etc. Communication with Gulf Coast was excellent, we cannot recommend this property and management company highly enough. This is the second time we have booked a property through them and would definitely do so again, an excellent experience all round.

Great place to stay

Place was in a nice area, and the property manager had amazing communication. There were a lot of wasps nests and they took care of it immediately. The only reason I am taking off a star is because of the cleanliness of the place, as well as the lack of some basic things in the kitchen, which I usually find in other properties (like salt and pepper). It was clean but not as clean as I would expect. There were some stains on the pillowcases and hairs in the bathroom. However, overall it was a great vacation spot and the pool was a great place to spend time in the hot afternoon.

I Would Buy This House

I loved the location, neighborhood, house layout, decor, space, privacy, kitchen supplies, pool floats. It was close to my friends, the beach, stores, restaurants, parks. The only things that bothered me were… dirty dishes in the cabinets, dead stinky flowers in a vase in the kitchen, dirty pool chairs, dusty pool floats, crumbs on the kitchen counters, hair in the bathtub, something gross on the shower curtain, three outside trash dumpsters that were already full before we used them, trash in the front yard, the lawn wasn’t trim, and the supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, trash bags) weren’t stocked… I had to buy my own to make it through one weekend. They need a new cleaning service.

The worse vacation

Drove over 20 hours for the worse vacation ever, thought everything was understood when getting the house through Vrbo and gulf coast rentals, suppose to have heated pool and they screwed me out of that, they thought 500 dollars compensated for the 2 weeks we couldn’t use it, that’s not even close to make it right, then they had a roof replaced and it wasn’t cleaned up and I got a flat tire and had to deal with that, and trying to get the problem fixed they ran me around, said pool heater would be fixed and they Lied. I’ll never rent from either company ever again and I have used Vrbo 6 times and never again, I got everything saved they texted or emailed. Don’t Let them ruin your Vacation!!!!

We sincerely apologize for the interruption to your vacation caused by the pool heater issue during your stay. As mentioned, the heater was unfortunately damaged by a hurricane, and we immediately arranged for a repair. However, due to the need to order specialized parts, there was an unavoidable delay in getting the heater up and running. We understand how frustrating this situation must have been for you, especially considering the cooler weather during your stay, and we are truly sorry for any inconvenience it caused. In recognition of the disruption to your experience, we issued a $500 refund along with a $500 credit for a future stay. While we believed this compensation was a fair reflection of the circumstances, we understand that it did not meet your expectations. Regarding the flat tire, we are sorry for the trouble it caused. While you mentioned that it was likely due to a roofing nail in the driveway, we cannot confirm its origin. It is possible that the nail came from another location, and we do regret that this added to your frustrations. We genuinely regret that your experience with us was not as expected. Our team always strives to offer helpful and courteous service, and we regret that the situation escalated to the point it did. During your stay, there were instances where our staff was met with raised voices and a combative tone, which made it difficult to effectively address your concerns. We did our best to make everything right, but we were unable to reach a mutual agreement. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best in your future travels.

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed staying here. The pool was awesome. Definitely our favorite feature. The house had everything we needed, even an air fryer! Plenty of towels supplied. A small box of amenities was provided in both bathrooms and the kitchen, so that was great. I had a few small concerns such as the a/c not working very well in the main bedroom of the home. That side of the house stayed pretty warm while the other side was cold. The washing machine also needs to either have a really deep cleaning or to be replaced. It reeks of mildew. The only other concern I had was that there is no door alarms or fencing around the pool to protect small children. We traveled with our 4 year old and I was paranoid the whole time that he would unlock the door and get out by the pool while we were not looking. The locks on the doors are very low and easily reached by a small child. Other homes we have stayed at with pools have always had either fencing or door alarms for this reason. They are inexpensive and give parents peace of mind. Overall, we loved the home and would definitely stay again.
