I stayed at this home with my 2 young kids and my high school best friend in late August 2016. The split floor plan was perfect as my kids shared the room with 2 twin beds while I was in the room next to them in a queen bed. We shared the main bathroom. My best friend was on the other side of the house in the master bedroom (king bed) with the master bath. We didn't cook much, but we had just about everything we needed to prepare meals. Consumable items are not stocked, you get one to start and must supply the rest (trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, etc). The air conditioner started acting up on our last night, but with ample ceiling fans we were fine. The main bathroom tub had a slow drain that would make a shower feel like a bath. With the policy that all consumables (including batteries, light bulbs, propane for the grill) are provided by you, I didn't feel the need to splurge on a bottle of draino. There were plenty of bath & pool towels provided, though nothing fancy. If you prefer more lush towels, bring them yourself. The washer & dryer were wonderful, we were able to head home with clean laundry!
The electronic keypad entry was great. No need to carry a key around and you can set the code to that of your choice.
We thoroughly enjoyed the pool! With the screened in lanai we spent much of our vacation outside and in the pool. My kids were in heaven, able to swim as often as they wanted. With sufficient lanai furniture the adults could relax poolside while keeping an eye on the kids, and serve lunch so the kids' time out of the pool was minimal. The pool guy visits on Wednesdays and if he adds chlorine you must stay out of the water for one hour, not really an inconvenience. For those with young kids, about 1/3 the length of the pool was shallow enough for my 4 & 6 year old to stand. We made use of pool noodles & life jackets so they could safely enjoy the entire pool.
There is a Publix grocery store very close by and even closer (walking distance) is a 24/7 Walgreens where you can grab essentials. Downtown Bradenton is less than 10 minutes away and the beach is 10-15 minutes away, depending on traffic.
Overall this was a great summer vacation! We would definitely stay here again.
