The home itself is spectacular. We stayed there with 11 female friends for a week and having a home with so many bedrooms and bathrooms allowed for privacy and comfort. The kitchen was well appointed with many appliances and utensils that allowed us to do some light cooking. There was a problem with the microwave at the beginning of the second day. However, the management company sent someone out quickly and gave us a suitable replacement. A repairman was going to fix the existing microwave on the day that we left. Having the rooftop area for sunset viewing was inspiring. The short walk to the beach was so convenient and having all of the beach equipment, including a wagon,chairs, a cooler and umbrellas made it advantageous. The pool area was lovely however we were unable to use it until our third day in because of cold temperatures. When requesting to have someone to address the problem thermostat for the hot tub and pool, they finally sent someone on the third day who was trained which meant that the hot tub couldn't be used until that night. Having a hot tub was one of the key reasons that we booked this property so that was a little inconvenient. The management company was very responsive to our needs, however the solutions did take time to resolve. I might suggest to the owner to have some softer pillows, too rather than 100% of them being foam. One of the members in my party had to go out and buy a pillow. I would recommend this property again to anyone who's looking for a large group to stay in a convenient location to the trolley and Bradenton Beach.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and kind words about your stay! We're so glad to hear you and your group enjoyed the home, especially the spacious layout, rooftop sunsets, and easy beach access — it truly is a wonderful spot for making memories together.
We also appreciate your feedback about the pool and hot tub. As soon as we were made aware of the concern, our team took all precautionary steps to test and verify functionality. Internally, everything appeared to be operating as expected, but once the mechanical issue was confirmed, we immediately dispatched a trained technician to address it as quickly as possible. We understand how important that amenity is, especially for a group trip.
Thank you as well for noting the pillow preference — we've shared that feedback with the owner for consideration during upcoming updates.
It means a lot that you'd recommend the property to others, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share both the highlights and your experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon for another relaxing stay!
