Very nice stay

This home was in a very nice neighborhood and the home itself was great. We loved using the pool and the amenities and the location were awesome. One thing to note: the pool house had a very musty/mildew smell so much so that we were unable to use it. It was very nice though! We used the grill several times and really recommend it!

Great Christmas Getaway!

We have family in Sarasota and Palm Harbor so this house was in between our destinations. It was a gem in a wonderful neighborhood! Loved the separate apartment for my oldest son and everything was clean and well-kept. We would definitely stay here again!

Hidden Gem

Honestly I was a little worried as the listing seemed 'too good to be true'. I was wrong, it was better than expected. The cottage itself was perfect. Modern, clean, bright. The pool was amazing, clean and warm. The kitchen had everything you could want and they even had beach towels and bikes. WiFi was excellent too.Highly recommend and will definitely be back for another stay.WOW 10/10

Awesome place near a ton of stuff to do in the Bradenton area. House was clean and very upgraded. The separate building was great if you have a teenager as they can get some privacy too. Pool gets plenty of afternoon sun and there is an amazing oak tree in the back yard.

To say this place was clean is an understatement! Hands down the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in! This house is completely updated. We especially loved the open concept living space as well as the adorable pool house! I hope we are back in Bradenton next year- we’ll definitely book this one again!

Great house, perfect location, all as listed

Nicely remodeled, clean, just like new, and all as listed by VRBO. Great layout for both entertaining and privacy. Excellent wifi, HVAC, and pool. Location was perfect for seeing all of Bradenton/Sarasota/golf/beach. AMI Locals is great to deal with, have used multiple times. Stayed with wife for a week, and had friends visit throughout, a fun spot. Quiet neighborhood at night, which we enjoyed, but very close to restaurants and nightlife. Would stay here again.

A lovely retreat!

The house was well appointed, and wonderfully clean! It was set up with just about everything one may need for an indoor or outdoor holiday. The one thing that we noticed was missing, were some family-type games. This, of course, is not a requirement, but is nice to have. So, just pack your own deck of cards and enjoy!

Perfect little house

My sisters, our father, my baby and sister’s toddler all visited to see my grandmother at nearby Westminster Towers. The house was so charming and clean, we just loved it. The only issue was that there was no extra bedding. It was quite chilly for Florida this time and my little sister was not comfortable at night. Also, my other sister used the trundle in the bunk room so she could sleep near her toddler and there were no pillow cases or sheets. Also, my father had no bedding in the casita. I'm not quite sure what happened but all available beds should have proper sheets, pillow cases, and bedding. And extra bedding in case of those chilly nights.

Great cozy cottage!

This house was perfect for our family. It was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. We were told there was a beach wagon there which there was not but we still had a great time. It’s nice to be close to the beach but far enough away from the busy tourists and traffic would definitely stay again.

Nice cozy place!

Loved the house. It was super comfy and very clean. The only issue I had was the house was listed for sale. We noticed the sign out front when we arrived. The property manager called us during the middle of our stay and wanted to show the house to a potential buyer. I was really thrown off by this and did not want random strangers going through the house with all our belongings in it. The PM made it sound like we didn’t have an option at first but I refused to allow complete strangers to go through the house while we were staying there. My opinion is, if you have a customer staying on the property, that the there shouldn’t even be an option to show the property. It was very unprofessional and totally unacceptable. Again, that’s my only complaint but it was a big one!

no privacy

The house is very good for taking pictures. Not for a family that cooks. There are no pots and pans. The oven doesn't work. The dishes smell rotten. We wash what we use by hand. The neighbors are friendly and take care of everything we do. We have no privacy. They use the trash can, which means we have no place for them. They gather around the house and look inside to see what we are doing. No privacy. Paying dearly for no privacy. For a family that doesn't care about what's going on around them and eats pizza, that's fine.

My 12-year-old daughter and I recently stayed at the Laughing Mermaid while she was attending a soccer showcase at IMG. The house is adorable, clean and in a nice neighborhood. The river is just steps away and there are lots of restaurants and stores within a short drive. We will definitely look to stay here again on future trips to IMG. Thanks for a great stay!
