8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
We had a very nice one-week stay at John’s place. The layout of the house worked really well for our group of eight, and the kitchen was adequately stocked since we cooked there often. John was also an excellent host—he communicated clearly and always responded quickly whenever I had questions.My kids absolutely loved the pool and the pool table, and both were used for several hours each day. Those amenities really added to our enjoyment of the stay.One piece of constructive feedback is that, between the living room and lounge area, we ended up moving furniture around so we could all sit together in one place at night to watch movies. It would be even better if the home had a comfortable sectional and a few more cozy chairs to make group seating easier.The main reason I likely would not stay at this property again is that I felt it was priced a bit high for the neighborhood. While I did appreciate how close it was to Anna Maria Island, I’ve stayed in other VRBOs at a similar price point that were located in more upscale neighborhoods.

Check-in is extremely simple and effective.Property is probably one of the best we have stayed in. Space was incredible and kids had things to do as per listing.Hosts truly amazing and answered any questions in short time frame.We all agreed if staying in the area this would be a place of choice to revisit..We also had a number of Macaw’s in the tree next to property and amazing to watch…
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
This place was nothing short of amazing! Our family had the best time there and felt right at home. There was so much space, all appliances were new. Loved that there was a double washer and dryer. My in laws came with us and it was nice to both be able to do quick loads at the same time and not hold one another up. Our kids (10, 8, and 4) thoroughly enjoyed the pool to the point they never wanted to get out. The pool was nice, clean, and spacious and I loved that there was so much seating and a table to have a nice meal in the screened in area.The beds were comfortable and clean. The shower pressure was perfect, though this is a personal preference lol. Chrissy and John were very communicative and got back to us quickly if we needed anything - which wasn’t much at all because everything we needed was at the ready. There isn’t anything bad I can say about being here. We will absolutely book again the next time we return to Bradenton!
