This property is absolutely what we could have wanted during our stay! The backyard is the true gem of the home. We spent more time outside than in. Family corn holdle tournaments, swimming and relaxing in the hot tub! Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends!
Neighborhood is nice and quiet. House came with all the linens you’d need. Loved all the outdoor seating options as well as indoor areas. Would have been helpful to have bikes to use as the house is a ways from any stores.
We stayed for a week in this house and it was perfect! The pool and spa were beautiful and the perfect temp. The outdoor area had plenty of seating. The house was clean and had everything we needed and more! Its perfect for family with young kids it came with a pac n play and highchair for our 1yr old. The location was great its right by a grocery store and target and a nice drive to the island. Will definitely be back again!
Tropical Paradise – Short Drive to Anna Maria Island!
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in Bradenton! The location was perfect - just a short drive to the stunning beaches of Anna Maria Island. The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The heated pool and spa were a great bonus - we really enjoyed relaxing in the warm water. The outdoor space was peaceful and well-maintained, making it the perfect spot to relax. The host was friendly and responsive, making the whole experience even better. We can't wait to come back! Highly recommend!
This home was exactly as pictured & described in the listing. It is truly a beautiful, inviting home to spend a week with family. My husband & I enjoyed a wonderful week with our daughter, son in law & 3 young grandchildren, ages 6, 4 & 1. The pool was a big hit & warm enough for young & old alike. The home is equipped with everything necessary for home cooked meals both indoor and outdoor. We loved the backyard and the privacy. Location was perfect for us as we spent several days enjoying Anna Maria beach & found it pretty easy getting to & from the island despite the busy time of year. Both Target & Publix are a short 5 minute drive as well. We had a few minor needs while there & found management very helpful & prompt. We would definitely recommend this home & would come back in a heartbeat!
This home is located perfectly near Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island! It is well equipped with everything you need for your stay from beach gear to kitchenware. The pool being just steps out the door makes for a perfect touch! Our family loved this property and look forward to visiting again!

Beware Algae Pool...I'm leaving this review in hopes of helping other renters get an insight of the issue with the pool and spare others from what my family and I endured.The home is beautiful and very spacious! It's a shame that the management company nor VRBO helped resolving this matter prior to our check out. We checked in on Saturday and realized the pool wasn't stained on Tuesday. The stairs and the walls were green in various places throughout the pool. (Algae) The host was notified Tuesday pm that we would refrain from swimming as we felt it was unsafe. Long story short. I called VRBO and reached out to the host everyday as of Tuesday and we checked out Saturday and never got to enjoy the pool/spa. Pool was cleaned Friday am and all the algae started to float to the surface Saturday am. Therefore this "Waterfall Retreat" was just to be enjoyed from afar. I wish more people would leave honest reviews so that we, as the renters could have a better insight as to what we're getting. We received a 200 adjustment/refund which isn't sufficient to get into a water park for one day, never the less 4 days.
