Everything was good, pool was heated. plenty of room for everyone. The lanai was a great additional space to hang out. TV's in all the rooms was a benefit for everyone. Had a small issue with heat but Chris was there in minutes to address it. Had a big dinning table to celebrate the holiday together. And the green and red party lights was a big hit and the small christmas tree was a nice touch.

Our stay in Bradenton was a truly great experience. Chris was over the top quick to welcome us and answer any questions. The house was very clean and up to date. The pool is terrific and the proximity to beaches and things to do was very convenient.
If I come back to the area I will not hesitate to stay at this home. Thank you Chris!

We came for a lacrosse tournament in Bradenton and this was perfect! We had instacart delivered when we arrived and cooked the first night. Close to Anna Maria Island for dinners out. It had chairs for the tournament and for the beach! Quiet neighborhood so our girls were able to go to sleep early. We had a great stay!

The property was very nice. The house was clean and well kept. The pool was amazing for pur grandchildren. The air went off the first night we were there. However, after calling the owner, it was fixed withina half hour. She texted back later to make sure it was working and everything was okay. I would stay there again.

Beds were comfortable and we loved that there were beach chairs, a large cooler, rafts, an umbrella, and other beach items to use! This location is super close to shopping, dining, and gorgeous beaches. The owners communicated and checked in with us wonderfully. Not one complaint. We’ll definitely be staying here again when in Bradenton! Thanks for an amazing getaway from Pennsylvania!

The home was very clean and well stocked. The pool was perfect, clean and heated as well. We would definitely stay again.

Our vacation stay was EXCELLENT! Chris and Sherry have a clean, organized, spacious, comfortable and beautiful house overall. The location was great: 15 min to the closest beach, 3 min to Fresh Market and restaurants were very close. The house had everything we could’ve asked for. It had a fresh smell when we walked in and everything was sparkling. The hosts were very welcoming and extremely responsive. Our family of 6 people and the dog will definitely be back!! We STRONGLY recommend this AMAZING place to anybody. Thank you again for opening your home to us and we look forward to next year!

We were without water/power after Hurricane Ian devastated our town. The owners were very quick to responding and accommodating my family. We were able to stay a few days and let our kids relax after experiencing such a traumatic event. There are no words to explain how much we appreciate the owners and everything they did. The home was very clean, stocked exceptionally well in all areas and the pool area was heaven!! Thanks for everything!!

I would highly recommend this house for your family vacation. Chris and Sherry are the ideal hosts, easy to communicate with and provided a clean and well stocked property. Our daughters loved the pool and it was a very short drive to the local beaches. We had an amazing vacation and would absolutely stay here again!

The house was equipped with everything we needed. All the essentials for cooking, for a trip to the beach and even toiletries. The neighborhood is quiet, we had stores close by, the beach was ten minutes away and the house is very spacious. My communication with our hosts was minimal but I had all the information I needed. I let them know we would be arriving late and they even left the porch light on for us. The details matter. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we plan to come back.

The rental process was seamless and the property was Fantastic!
We had plenty of room and the pool was Awesome!
Great neighborhood to enjoy your morning run and the island is right down the road!
The property owners go that extra mile with both bathrooms stocked with towels, “full size”shampoo, conditioner, body wash, mouth wash and toilet paper and blow dryers!
Plenty of paper towels and coffee products in the kitchen for the Keurig and regular coffee pot … We were pleasantly pleased and will definitely be regulars at this property!!

This property was perfect for us! We loved everything about it! The pool was great! House is awesome! Plenty of beach towels, floaties. Plenty of patio chairs and tables. This is the first place we ever stayed that provided toiletries for all week. Usually, you just have starter items. Tile throughout which was great, especially if you had a pet. I highly recommend this rental!

Family Vacation
We were extremely happy with everything. We are a family of 5 with the kids ages of 17,19, and 21. The check-in process was smooth. The pool area was clean and well maintained. The house was clean. Towels, utensils, pots, etc was everything we needed for our week stay. The location of this house was ideal for us. It was close to the beach, grocery stores, restaurants but not in a big hustle bustle area. The beach gear that was provided is a huge plus. The hosts communicated very well with us. We would stay again at a property owned by Chris 7 Sherry.

10/10 Would definitely stay here again!
We absolutely loved staying here! The location is excellent, we were able to beach hop and hit up 5 different beaches! They also have beach supplies, so we used those. The pool in the back was the kid’s favorite thing! The house is easy to stay in and easy to keep clean. When we come back, we definitely plan on staying here again!

Nice home, great location, wonderful pool!
Our family really enjoyed this home. They had beach toys, beach wagon, umbrellas, beach towels, etc. for us to use. The backyard was perfect for relaxing and the kids loved the pool! We wish there was an umbrella or canopy to use in backyard to escape full sunshine a couple afternoons while sitting pool side.

Awesome and Relaxing Stay!
We really enjoyed the size and cleanliness of Chris and Sherri's home. Before booking, I reached out with some questions and Chris was very responsive. After booking, communication continued. On the day of arrival, Chris provided the necessary check-in information and inquired about our arrival time to ensure the porch lights would be on since we got in late. Upon arriving and entering the house, the welcoming aroma was a winner. The house was spotless and had almost everything you needed in the kitchen to cook family meals. The only thing we didn't have was a griddle. In the bathrooms and bedrooms were extra towels, different shampoos, and body washes. There were extra blankets also. There was no shortage of paper towels or toilet paper either. There was even Lysol spray, disinfecting wipes, and sanitizer at the front entrance. The pool was clean and there were pool floats for all ages. They even provided pool towels, beach toys, beach umbrellas, and a wagon for use. It's a very quiet neighborhood. There's a Winn Dixie about 4 minutes from the house and a Publix about 7 minutes away. During our stay, Chris even checked in to ensure everything was going well. There is a Thai restaurant (Thai Cafe) that we tried that was like 5 minutes away and the food was very yummy. Also Jeremiah's Italian Ice was worth the trip. When in this area again, we will definitely stay at this home. We tried to rebook for Thanksgiving but this property and their other properties were unavailable. Thank you Chris and Sherri!

Great quiet neighborhood, a great place for an early morning walk to get the blood pumping. Convenient location for the beach, shopping, and dining. Great pool for relaxing and tanning if you didn't feel like going to the beach or just a quick swim. House was clean and spacious with plenty of room to move around. The house was equipped with everything needed for our trip and even all the goodies for the beach trips. Chris was on point with communication from before we arrived, checking on things during our stay to the time we left to return home. We will be staying here again in the future.
