My trip was for spring training and photography of wildlife. The house was as described and had all the kitchen stuff needed for the couple of meals I made while there. There was a Publix and I believe a Winn-Dixie near by as well as a sports bar just around the corner that had large portions. Communication with the host was very quick and she answered all questions in a timely manor.

The cottage was as represented in the listing. Very clean! Pam was easy to communicate with and replied to texts quickly. Even sent a video showing how to set up pull out couch. We didn’t use the couch but that could be a helpful tool. Very quiet neighborhood on a dead end section of the street. We arrived late at night due to flight changes and the property was well lit which we appreciated. Kitchen had all we needed. We didn’t cook at the cottage but it was nice to have a fridge and a few reusable containers and a cooler to put lunches in for our daily excursions. We used two of the beach chairs as well as beach towels. Nice lodging for our Anna Maria Island and surrounding area visit.

Property was clean and comfortable. It took us about 40 minutes to drive to the beach, traffic was heavy almost every time we went. Beaches were very nice, but very crowded. We usually spend time on the Outer Banks at Hatteras NS. It is considerably less crowded than Florida. We were not prepared for the amount of traffic that we encountered. Everywhere. We may return to the area, but will stay closer to the beach. This is no fault of the property or the owner, just the amount of traffic we ran into in Bradenton.
