Thank you for sharing your home with us. Our family had a fun and relaxing time in this beautiful house. The house and setting set the tone for a relaxing time. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The location was at proximity of downtown Bradenton and Sarasota. We enjoyed our time and looking forward to coming back!

Comfy Pool Paradise
The second I saw pictures of the pool, I knew I wanted to stay at this property, and it did not disappoint! The week we stayed was hot and stormy and I was grateful for the relaxing pool waters and cool air conditioning. There is plenty of comfortable furniture inside the house to lounge on. The kitchen is fully stocked with kitchen wares. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Good place and friendly management!
Stayed for 7 days with family. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. Was originally supposed to be 5 days but we extended it to 7 while there and experienced no issues from management company. They made it easy and convenient staying longer. Pros: Nice house. Clean. Looks just like the pictures. Easy to check in and out. Friendly property manager. Cons: We paid the fee for pool heat and the hot tub to be warm. Pool and hot tub cannot be heated at the same time. This was inconvenient at times because the kids complained of a cold pool while we attempted to sit in the hot tub. Debris gets in the pool easily because it’s not closed in. Everyday we needed to clean the pool. They do provide a net and it doesn’t take long to clean. We also were there when it was windy every single day. Therefore, weather could be to blame. We had trouble with the fridge not getting cold but a repair person came within minutes to fix it. After they left we experienced no issues with the fridge. We came during spring break, says via the description it would be 15 minutes to Anna Maria beach which is probably correct if it was not busy. This review is based off of a peak time of the year so remember that when reading this. It took us a little over an hour to get to the beach from the house because of the traffic which made it inconvenient to go the two times we did go.

Place was beautiful, backyard and pool was a great spot to get together. The only complaint is that, for the price, enough household items like toilet paper, paper towels, and garbage bags should be included based on the amount of people staying. We shouldn’t have to purchase these items ourselves when the listing states it can accommodate all of us.

Bradenton house rental
We are not people who write reviews, good or bad, but we could not let this situation pass... We rented as snowbirds from NJ for two months. the first week the following had to be addressed: no heat (it was 40 at night) , broken toilet, bbq grill was a rusty mess. The property manager responded quickly to " band-aid" these problems: turned the heat on, jiggled the toilet and bought some parts for the inside of the grill. Then the palm rats showed up. We trapped one a night for SIX nights on the kitchen counter, before holes were plugged, more rat traps set inside and out and rat poison set around the house. this worked for a few weeks before they showed up again in a beach bag and in the cabinet containing glassware. we lived with the thought they would show up anytime. Pluses: comfortable beds and plenty of kitchen utensils, pots and pans. Its obvious the owner does not want to put any money into maintaining this property or put in any real repairs.I would not recommend this house to anyone.

The house was clean and plenty of room for the 5 of us staying. The tv in one of the rooms we could not get to work and when it did come on it was glitching. Other than that we have no complaints. It was a very nice stay and I would recommend this house.

Wonderful winter holiday
This property was great. The backyard with pool and hot tub were amazing. The house was very large, perfect for everyone to spread out. It was so convenient having beach gear provided, and a washer and dryer to clean up post beach. We had a slight miscommunication about the pool being heated, but that was corrected quickly. The only complaints were that the beds were uncomfortable, and the water pressure in the showers was weak. But overall, I would love to stay at this house again. It was perfect for the price we paid!

The house is lovely, with a beautiful back room, plenty of natural light, and a fabulous backyard with a lovely pool. Close by to all accommodations needed for an enjoyable stay. Within 15 minutes from the extraordinary beaches of Anna Maria Island and 30 minutes of the beaches and downtown Sarasota. Just 20-30 minutes from the SRQ airport. I highly recommend this property for 4 to 6 people.

Just what we needed
Everything was as pictured if not better. Home is very spacious and open. Outside living area and pool were just what we needed in the evenings after running around town. Loved that the plant life was on the outside line of the property and rocks were around pool which cut down on the mosquitos tremendously. When we come back to the area we will definitely be staying here again. Property had everything we needed plus and iTrip was very responsive with any questions we had.

Very impressed by this property. The original part of the house is older but a nice job has been done on the remodel. The addition on the back is fantastic - very open and airy. The backyard is like a resort and very private. The neighborhood is older but is fairly centrally located.

Backyard Oasis
We loved our stay here as a family of 5! The majority of our time was spent in the pool here - the backyard is large, private and the heated pool and hot tub were perfect for us and our kiddos ages 5-8. The home is clean, updated and had many amenities that made it feel like home which we greatly appreciated. Bed sheets and towels were soft and beds were comfortable! Very open layout and tastefully decorated. It felt so peaceful here. If I’m being picky, I should mention that the home has very minor quirks; no en-suite bathroom for the master and one step up/down in places that are inconvenient (from master to nearest bathroom). Bradenton traffic was far busier than we expected so make sure to give yourself ample time when going a mile or two down the road. Outside of those minor inconveniences we loved being here and would definitely come back.
