Overall positive experience
We entered the property no problem. Appeared clean and lovely. Close to everything for us. Only one problem. My teens stayed in the second bedroom and started noticing bug bites. I don’t want to accuse or assume anything, but the bites are in threes which could possibly be bed bugs. Just thought someone might want to look into it. My husband and I had no problems in the master bedroom. Thanks

Enjoyed our stay
Had a pleasant multiple week stay at this location. Loved the office room that allowed us to work remote. Good location. Very close to Bradenton, longboat key and Anna Maria island. The Fox mercantile is a fun coffee shop at the end of the street. Would stay at again!

Perfect location!
This sweet house was the perfect location to walk across the bridge onto Anna Maria Island. While staying on AMI can be very pricey, this house was quite reasonable and didn’t lack anything that we needed. There is a very nice bar/restaurant just a block away where I was made SO welcome! It felt very much like a neighborhood. Ray, the owner, was responsive when I had a small issue/question and went out of his way to make sure that I was satisfied. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to get away for a long weekend! We will be back.

Easy access to Anna Maria Island
Very clean and well kept. Wonderful backyard patio area. Extremely comfortable and replete with a full kitchen. I'd recommend renting a bike when you get there and using that to get back and forth from Anna Maria Island. The island and the Cortez area are loaded with great places to eat and drink.

Quiet and peaceful stay a short drive from the beach
The neighborhood was quiet and it only took a 7 minutes to get to the beach. This house was well stocked with everything you need including beach chairs and cooler. Having one bathroom wasn't bad with four people. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. The washer and dryer worked great. Any questions were answered quickly by the guest contact. Our little one enjoy the office and it's a perfect spot to work if you have to during vacation. If I had only one complaint it would be that all the beds including the sofas sleepers are extremely noisy and squeaky. We would totally stay here again!

Excellent location - fantastic service.
When we arrived, had problem with the smart TV. Owner came right over and showed us how to use it. The following day the K-Kup coffee maker gave out. They had it replaced that same afternoon. Contains everything you could need for a comfortable stay.

Convenient
This place was very close to the island and very close to my location of work. The neighborhood was quiet and well taken care of. House was clean upon arrival and everything looked perfect. My only issues with said property was the bathroom drain in shower didn’t drain quickly, and you would end up with water up to your ankles by the end of your shower of standing water. With all this water, the tub became very slippery as there was no mat or grip at the bottom of the tub. (Would use caution if you are an older person, as I caught myself slipping more than once) Also, the laundry room fire detectors batteries where dying and it was a continuous beeping noise from that room. Lastly, for the amount of money one pays to rent this location - I was expecting a higher quality mattress (master room) bed you could legit feel the springs through the mattress. I was thankful I was alone so I could switch rooms and mattresses but just figured this should be considered when booking this location.

Snow free stay.
We rented this property for two weeks. Wish it could have been 2 months. Ranch house was perfect for us and our English Setter. We had no issues and the house was ready and perfect for us when we arrived. If we get back to this area, we would definitely try and stay here agian.
