The Cottage by Anna Maria Island

10/10 Excellent

"The hosts are very kind and accommodating! We had the whole driveway to ourselves which was super convenient! The property is clean and has everything we needed!"

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Bradenton Downtown/Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"Maravilloso"

Tropical Vibe | 6BR Sleeps 21 | Heated Pool, Hot Tub, 2-Min Walk to GT Bray Park

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing, upon arrival it’s a bit of an optical illusion because at first it looks so normal and you don’t think it’s interior could be so expansive but it truly truly is with incredibly high ceilings too it jsut adds to it (the two kitchens in one house isn’t too shabby either even if one of them isn’t really used), something the property doesn’t highlight is its privacy too, there was far more of it than you realize, with so many doors connecting and disconnecting while flowing so well, you’re able to feel connected to the people around you when you want to be and you’re able to cordon yourself off just as easily for yourself, there’s also the matter of the host himself, a group of us were hit with an unfortunate situation where-in we had to add more people to the house than initially planned and scheduled, however in my nature I decided to be forthcoming about it before letting anything happen, and the host was incredibly gracious about it, he was in constant communication about anything and everything (even to the point where I thought I might start getting annoying) but he was incredibly chill as a person not just about the property. The property overall was incredible but the highlight was my communication with our host, it’s a the sort of thing that makes you want to comeback feeling comfortable about a stay knowing that if there are any issues or questions, you’re not gonna be left in the dark. 10/10"
