We recently stayed at the Rooney's Lakeside Condo when we were in town for a national soccer tournament. From the moment I inquired to rent it to the moment we left, we felt like family. The Rooneys are quick to respond to emails/questions and they are very accommodating. And Berndt, well, he has to be the kindest man I have ever spoken to! And also very responsive and committed to making sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The condo itself is clean, fully equipped and has many "extras" that were very much appreciated - free and fast wifi, Apple TV, 4 beach chairs, coffee filters (silly to mention I know, but nothing more frustrating than having to buy a package of 100 filters for only 5 days! It's the little things!), cozy, fluffy bath towels, amazingly comfortable beds - I could go on and on. We were even lucky enough to meet their wonderful neighbor, Karen, who shared her wonderful Christmas baked goodies with us!!
I highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. It is close to everything - shopping, grocery, restaurants and is just a short drive to the beaches. And the Shorewalk property has amenities galore - pools, activities, beautiful club house, etc. Should our travels every bring us back to the area we will definitely rent the Rooney's condo.
Sincere thanks to the Rooneys and Bernt for everything!
