Highly recommend we had an amazing stay we loved the cleanliness! The pool was great and very good temp. The beds are comfy just very soft pillows. Location was perfect to very convenient lots of shops, stores etc nearby and ofc the beach!! We will be coming back!!
It was a perfect place for us to retreat to in between activities! We typically book a lot of activities while on vacation and this place was our sanctuary! It’s simple, low headache and served our family with all the necessities that we have at home!
Our six-week getaway at Captain America Dream was our second visit there. (Our previous extended stay was in January 2025.) We enjoyed a pleasurable vacation in a well-maintained home in a conveniently located and welcoming neighborhood. We appreciated the owner’s upgrades: a new dishwasher and refrigerator, and repairs to the main bathroom, back patio and fence. The landscaping remains extraordinary. This year, we took advantage of the fitness center at the nearby G. T. Bray Park recreation center. Vacasa’s local property manager was very responsive when we needed assistance with a couple minor issues. Again, our only annoyance was the daily charge for heating the pool during a chilly January and February, but the total rental cost was still a fair value. All in all, Captain America Dream is still a favorite for a winter visit to Bradenton/Sarasota.
Pool was not ready when we got there so we were unable to use. Local support addressed it, but still wished we would have been able to have use of the pool. Everything else was wonderful.

Wonderful stay!
We stayed at the Captain America’s House and it was wonderful! The house was easy to find, in a nice neighborhood, had all the kitchen amenities, lots of pool and beach amenities, good wifi and was clean. Would definitely recommend staying here.
We had a great stay at this house. It was perfect for our family of 6. The house was great: clean, modern and a well equipped kitchen. The pool was very nice, and we did pay to have it heated.The house is about 4 miles from the beaches. There are 2 bridges to the Island. Typically it took 25 minutes; but on 2 days it did take 1 hour (1 day it took 90 minutes). Setting off before 11am is advised. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood with grocery stores and restaurants at the end of the street which was very convenient (it is not a vacation neighborhood), although a neighbor did have a party from 11am-9pm the Sunday after we arrived. The downside of this property was the Property Manager/Rental company. We have stayed in countless homes through VRBO, and many times the homes are managed by companies (which is fine, no issues with that). This time was different though. You contact this company (Vacasa) by text message, but you’re not texting a person…you’re texting a call center with AI bots so getting any information/answers out of them was extremely difficult. For example, the light in the pool was out and lights on the deck were also not working. Eventually the AI bot sent a note to the Property Manager.I asked the property manager on Monday morning if someone could come by to fix any of the lights. I never got a response. I also enquired as the pool was not cleaned during the stay, but no response either. Overall, we liked this house.

Great Home in a quite Surrounding
We really enjoyed our stay and would come back any time we have the opportunity. The house is furnished with so much love that you really feel at home, not to mention the outdoor facilities (pool, outdoor toilet and lanai area). It really was a "dream"

We had a great stay at this property. Looks just the pictures. Loved the pool and pool area. Had everything we needed. ( only negative - house has high ceilings so noise echos a bit )

Please let us assure you that we value your feedback, and your comments have been passed along to the homeowner. You were the perfect guests, and we look forward to the next time!
We stayed for a week here. This home is in a very quite neighborhood just blocks from shopping, coffee and dining. It Is a short drive to the ocean and island. My wife and I were happy with the space. The home is well stocked for even a larger group. Lots off silverware and dishes. On the second day of our stay the pool services came by to serviced the pool. The pool was great. We will definitely check this units availability the next time we're in the area.Scott & Pam
