The pool and spa were great. Neighborhood is quiet, safe and nice. Small park with a playground a block away. Grill is a solid gas one. Good 6 person place. I would come back.
We had a good stay overall! The place wasn’t anything overly fancy, but it was clean, comfortable, and accommodating — exactly what we needed for a family trip. The environment felt very family-friendly and relaxed, which we really appreciated. Great location in the River District as well. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a simple and welcoming place to stay.
5 Stars My family and I had a wonderful time at Barefoot Bungalow! The house was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect and made it easy for us to enjoy the area. We truly felt at home and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a great experience!
We had a nice vacation. The home was equipped with everything we needed and the outdoor area/ pool was very enjoyable. Nice location for restaurants and commute to AMI. Thank you for allowing us to use your home.
From start to finish this house was awesome! Very clean and organized. Really nice decor too! We were 3 adults and 3 kids. There was some toys for the kids and plenty of entertainment. The host was communicative after the hurricanes and we kept in touch through out my stay. We will certainly be returning.
The house is stunning. The pool and spa really make the whole trip worth it. we were able to have a great relaxed time without having to leave the house! Only comment I have is that there was no extra toilet paper but that was insignificant:)
This home was absolutely beautiful. The pool was very nice and kept the kids entertained the whole time. The hot tub was a relaxing touch.
Located close to Anna Marie and plenty of food options nearby!
The host was wonderful and communicated quickly. Upon arrival there was an internet issue (no fault of the host) and she had it fixed asap! We had an amazing stay and would definitely stay again.
My wife and I stayed for 31 days. We invited friends and family to come visit throughout our stay. Perfectly located a mile and a half from downtown Bradenton. Had a great time, heated pool and hot tub were fantastic. Take note that the 3rd and 4th bedroom are combined. Ideal for families with kids. We stil managed to make it work with four couples. Would definitely stay there again.
The place was very open and had plenty of room for our family. Needed a little cosmetic touch up but over all very clean. Communication very quick response. Game room had a little smell but I guess expected from a detached room. Over all I rate it a 5.
would have been nicer to have basic toiletries and kitchen spices available.
The bed situation was not listed either.

Thank you for your feedback. As advertised, we provide sample size toiletries as well as salt and pepper, but not various spices. The bedroom layout is a bit different and is explained in great detail in the listing (2 of the bedrooms are connected to make a family suite).

Pictures completely deceiving
The pictures were misleading, as the space did not match what was advertised. There were no washcloths provided, which was an inconvenience. All the pots/pans were in need of replacement. Additionally, the washer and dryer were located outside, which was not mentioned in the listing. Overall, the stay did not meet my expectations.

I am very confused by this review. The photos are of the spaces as they are and only changes I can think of are new (upgraded) outdoor furniture as it was replaced post hurricane, bedding that’s gotten replaced as it’s aged. The washer and dryer are located in the roof covered breezeway between the house and garage. Wash cloths ARE provided with each towel set, and a brand new sponge in the kitchen at each turnover. I will have my cleaners check the pots and pans. I hope this is helpful to future guests to know what to realistically expect as we take a lot of pride in taking care of our properties and providing the best guest experience possible.
The outdoor area is perfect and the house was clean and beautiful. However, the gorgeous kitchen was horribly equipped making cooking very challenging/frustrating. Something that could be easily fixed. Our only other surprise was that the game room is not part of the main house (it is in a detached garage). Looking back at the property details, we can see how it could be interpreted different ways. We were planning on the extra space for at least 1 of our grown children to sleep and that was not possible. We made due and had a great time overall.

The 600 sf game room is a converted climate controlled detached garage. This is not a legal sleeping space and all sleeping spaces and bedding options are detailed out in the description. I’m sorry if there was some confusion regarding that. All kitchen amenities are listed in the description in great detail. We are also open to feedback on items that would make it even better for future guests.
B, we absolutely enjoyed our stay! lovely! Spent most of the time in pool due to red tide
Loved it! But….chairs were not usable on beach, all but 1 was broken. Very little TP, very little paper towels, no sponges. Umbrella was trashed, we left a new one. Ice maker has very small capacity. Locking doors is a trick! Need to pull really hard to lock. Garage door battery needed replaced. The bamboo floor mates hass pee stains. The rug I’m living room had urine smell. Water in shower takes 4 ever to heat up and shower head is crappy. pool filter was making very loud strange noises the last 3 days. Falling COCONUTS could really hurt someone
Besides that, it was perfect!!!!manager was excellent communicator! THANK YOU! THANK YOU

Thank you for the 5 star review and feedback. We had the battery in the garage door code replaced during their stay, we provide 5 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom as well as 1 new roll of paper towel. We don’t provide an umbrella so I’m guessing a guest left behind a broken one. I will see to it that is thrown away and the beach chairs are replaced. I’m sorry those were not usable. I will also have the pool filter checked, but usually an indication water needs to be added so we will take care of that right away. We had all the rugs in the house professionally shampooed the day before check in so i am very confused about that comment.
We just returned from our 1 week stay. We were two families (4 adults and 5 kids - ages 7,8,9,10,11). It was a perfect property for us and the kids had a blast. Everyone LOVED the pool and the hammocks in the backyard & the games room was a HUGE hit for the kids. If they were not in the pool, they were in there! Having an extra space for them to hang out was perfect!!
The house was more spacious then the picture showed which was a pleasant surprise and there is lots of room for everyone to sleep.
There were 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, umbreallas and some beach toys and lots of beach towels!
The location is near all the amenities you could want - restaurants, grocery stores and pharmacies. It was near Anna Maria Island, however the traffic was terrible getting there! Our first day we left the house at 10:30am and it was bumper to bumper traffic most of the way! We quickly learned that the earlier we left, the better. We started leaving for the beach around 9:00am & stayed for the morning/early afternoon then returned for a pool afternoon and some shade while the sun was at it's hottest. It was perfect!
We arrived late our first day (around 11pm) and the pool was at almost 100 degrees. I think there was a glitch with the warmer/hot tub portion. Teresa was great at handling it quickly as our kids were very excited to get swimming & it was just too hot to do that.
We had a great stay and would definitely recommend!
This home offers a very comfortable stay in a location that's convenient to downtown Bradenton, the Riverwalk and Anna Maria Island. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the inside of the home. The outdoor space wasn't quite as pictured on the listing, but that was mostly rectified toward the end of our stay when a landscape maintenance company came out and did a great job with trimming and cleaning up the overgrown landscaping. We would have loved having it this way for the entire stay! The pool & spa are very nice, though I would say the photos on the listing don't accurately capture the current condition of the outdoor furniture. The wood chairs aren't very comfortable, and were very difficult for our parents (who are in their 70s) to sit on. We ended up ordering a couple of lounge chairs online and having them shipped through Amazon. On the inside of the home, there were several issues that needed attention (kitchen faucet needed repair, 2nd bath showerhead wasn't working, blender didn't work, pots & pans were in poor condition). Every single issue was addressed immediately by the owner/manager. Theresa was even so kind as to immediately ship us new cookware. All necessary repairs were taken care of, leading to a very comfortable stay. Definitely 5 stars for communication and responsiveness. Very, very comfortable beds and linens, which is always at the top of our list. The neighborhood is nice.. just a few blocks from the Manatee River. We enjoyed that there's a neighborhood park only a block away. This is a fabulous place to walk dogs, and we always felt very safe in this neighborhood. Other positives of this property are that you have extra refrigerator and freezer space in the game room area, fka the garage. You don't realize how important this is until you stay in a rental that only has one fridge! Another big plus here is that we literally didn't see ONE insect, spider, or any other creepy crawlies inside this home during our entire 6 week stay! Just a few things prevented us from giving this home a 5 star rating. As other reviews mentioned, the inside of the dishwasher had quite a bit of mold. We cleaned it at the beginning of our stay (took only about 10 minutes and some elbow grease to get rid of the mold), but I can see how it will continue to be a problem until it's replaced, as it remains full of water at the end of the cycle. Overall, very pleased with our stay and would definitely love to stay here again in the future!

Thank you for confirming that every single issue was addressed. It’s a bit disappointing you still felt the need to give the property 4 stars and list out these items since they were all addressed at the beginning of your stay and will not affect future guests. Most were preferences and special requests that I without hesitation had addressed for you immediately at my expense. I’m glad you enjoyed the home and neighborhood.
My family and I had a lovely trip. The house was great, the backyard is really what makes it. You are close to everything especially Anna Maria Island, only about 20-25 minutes away. If you feel like staying in, the pool and hot tub are a great way to spend your trip. I brought my dog along who had suddenly been diagnosed with cancer two days before our trip. Unfortunately, the day we got there we had to make the decision to let him go. Thankfully, there was an emergency vet 1 minute from the house right on the corner that was extremely compassionate. While the situation wasn’t ideal, it was very helpful to have the vet so close. We made the best of the trip, and would definitely stay at the Barefoot Bungalow again!
House was lovely, the owner really thinks about entertaining all ages, my little son loved the tree in front of the house and the swing, my teen loved the amenities in the garage. The property is clean and well maintained
Wonderful stay! Owner was very communicative. Lots of amenities to use like towels, laundry stuff, iron and things. Couldn’t figure out light switches since there are so many or how to turn on lights in pool or backyard. Fan in the bunk bed room made a loud noise when on and can get hot in there. There is a 10pm quiet, which is understandable but very strict even on a weekend. Hard to have a large group hanging out in backyard after 10. Great location with many things near by for groceries and things! Great stay overall.
We made a special trip to Bradenton to see the Bishop Museum and Planetarium. Staying at Barefoot Bungalow was very convenient and enjoyable. The house was very nice and the backyard was beautiful and relaxing!
