Quaint home
We had a safety issue in the place we booked on Anna Maria and were relocated to this one. It was very cute and clean, bed was comfy. The only negative thing was the water temperature kept changing to freezing and then to extremely hot, even though nothing else was using water. Besides that, great little place!

Home away from Home!
This is a wonderful little hidden gem! A beautiful property that made our stay in Florida feel like we were staying in our home away from home! Very clean, comfortable. We visited in July and it was very hot, but the house had excellent AC! All the bedrooms and couches were comfortable. Plenty of space for everyone! Also, they provided dishwasher tabs, dish soap, hand soaps, and I had forgotten my shampoo and conditioners but not to worry they provided those too! I loved that we could also do our laundry after a long day at the beach! If you are looking for a quite peaceful and relaxing place to stay that will feels like home then this is the place for you!

First FL vacation
We loved the house, it was the perfect size for our family. We had no issues at all and were grateful for the beach items in the garage that we were able to use. I did report that the tent was broken and one of the chairs was in bad shape. Everything still worked great and a great day at the beach was had! The house had everything we needed to make our visit comfortable. It was no more than 15 mins from Coquina beach and the Island. We definatley will stay again!
We haven’t had a vacation since the Pandemic & decided we’d head to our favorite state of Florida. Normally we stay in Fort Myers, Naples area, but this time we decided to change it up and visit an area we were not familiar w/& stayed in Bradenton/Sarasota. We were not disappointed. So many different beaches, restaurants & lots of different things to see & do. We did take a day to travel South, to our dismay it has changed - things are not the same :(. In any case. The house was beautiful, large & equipped w/all the things you would need for any circumstances. The kitchen was stocked, the 2 bathrooms had full toiletries, no need to bring shampoos or soaps. They even had chairs, coolers, and wagon for the beach!
The one hiccup we experienced was when we first arrived we got there a tad early and we were not allowed to enter the property not even 15 minutes before our arrival. Check in is 4:00 and I asked @ 1:00 if we could arrive earlier & the Host Company stated they would “check” with “someone”, I’m unsure who? I assumed w/the housekeeping staff. They returned with an answer that they would respond when we could check in, if it was earlier then 4:00. So we actually drove to the house about 3:45 & there was absolutely NO ONE there & again asked if we could enter & was still told NO. I’m still not sure why, but it was a little ridiculous that guests who drove over 20 hours couldn’t enter until exactly 4:00. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay!
This place was perfect for our needs. Comfortable and homey. We were there for my mother in law's funeral and we had a couple hiccups but the host was absolutely phenomenal in responding to our needs!! The floorplan layout was nice and inviting, the kitchen was large and roomy, which made mealtime easy. Also, the place took the term "pet friendly" to the 10th degree! Gorgeous fenced back yard, dog friendly inside AND people friendly inside!. We are locking in this place for any future trips back. We felt very at home.

Family Reunion
This home was very comfortable for me and my Family. Also it was located a few blocks from our family living in Bradenton which allowed us to spend quality time with them. I would recommend this home for anyone looking to stay in Bradenton area.
I loved it, the pictures don’t even give the house justice.

Perfect quiet “cottage” home renovated with many upgrades
This was my second stay and everything was perfect. The bathrooms and kitchen upgrades are awesome and the house feels so roomy and comfortable. My husband didn’t want to leave. 😉 This was his first time here. The backyard has a privacy fence that is perfect for dogs. The neighbors stopped by to say hello - we felt “at home”. We’ll be back!

Once we got in, all was well
The property itself was great. Vacasa sent me the wrong code for the door so we wasted time trying to get into the house. I was told we had a regular coffee maker but it was a keurig. The code instructions sounded like they were written by someone who did not really understand how to express it in Engish.
This property was AMAZING! The website does not do it justice. Beautiful on the inside and outside. Everthing was provided...more than I expected. Extremely clean, beautifully decorated and the management staff was super friendly! Location was great for the purpose of this trip. We needed to be close to IMG Academy for a baseball tournament. This property was about 10 minutes away. We did run into an issue with one of the bathroom toilets not flushing but called the management group and they responded immediately and had a maintenance person fix it within 24 hours. It was very late on a Friday nite, repair was done by mid morning on Saturday. The AC thermostat was a bit tricky to set but we figured it out. Would suggest instructions be put on the wall on how to set the correct temperature. Other than that, we loved the property and truly enjoyed our stay. Would recommend this property and Vacasa management group to family and friends. Thank you for your warm and friendly hospitality Vacaaa!! Your personal touch was awesome and made us feel like we we were at home!
