The property/unit was great - very small, but big enough for my needs since I was alone. Didn't appreciate the check-in policy, which doesn't allow for early check-in even if the unit is ready unless you pay 50/hour. I had no where else to go after arriving in town about 11:00.
Comfy bed, good AC, phone charging station nice perk. Beach chairs and water cooler nice. Nice neighborhood. Thnx.

Mother's Day weekend
Great place to stay while I visited my mother and step-dad who live at Water's Edge of Bradenton. Comfortable bed and everything I needed. Nice neighborhood for morning walk to the riverfront.
