The entire home was exceptionally clean and just as pictured online. Hosts responded within minutes when I had questions about the property or the area in general. The decor and zen vibes were like having the cherry on top!

Great location. Lots of things to enjoy

Pros: The house is relatively new, nicely furnished, has fast internet, and is immaculately clean. The appliances are brand new as are the linens, towels and mattresses. Everything is fresh and spotless. The pool is a perfect size to cool off and relax. The property is very close to Cortez Beach, Bradenton and Manatee Public Beach. The access to the main road is excellent. You are within miles to a Starbucks, Bonefish Grill, Publics, Winn DIxie, Sushi, Mexican, fast food, etc. Cons: The development is still under construction so there will be noise from backhoes, scissor lifts and dump trucks. The "back-up" beep can't be drowned out by music. The houses are tight. Luckily we had considerate neighbors who were relatively quiet. The lagoon is nice and gives you a good view with manatees everywhere. But - behind the mangroves is a RV Park. Ok....what's wrong with that? Every morning, the maintenance man uses a gas blower for hours! There is a noise ordinance but it ends after 7 am, and it's free game. We could not figure out what exactly he was blowing. Leaves, trash, sand, large rocks? For hours.....So - no luck sleeping in peacefully. Would we stay there again? Possibly. But I would ensure the neighborhood was completely constructed, all lots were finished, and the maintenance man at the RV Park was on vacation.

The property was great for our family. Our kids loved the pool in the morning when the sun was shining on it. Clean, well maintained and comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to be within driving distance of all the Anna Marie restaurants and beaches but in a quieter area.
