Great property and very equipped with everything you could think of ! Chris was very prompt on communication and helpful with everything that we required for the stay at their property. The yard is great for dogs and the pool was fun for the kids. They also have a little extra room that we hung out in with the cool light system. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Everything was great!!Very good location close to Publix, Danny’s pizza, Walmart only a few miles away.They allowed pets so I was able to bring our small dog instead of boarding him. Back yard was fenced so we weren’t worried about dog or kids.Hoping to go back in a few months.The owner also texted us to make sure we were all set.

Perfect Family Vacation

This was our second time staying at this property and it definitely will not be our last. I cannot say enough good things about the property or the hosts. Chris was excellent at communicating with us before and during our stay. The house itself is very clean and well stocked. Our family loved swimming in the beautiful pool. We also loved the location - close to stores and restaurants. It also was just a short drive when we wanted to go to the beach. I highly recommend this property.

Enjoyed our stay at the Sunshine retreat

Our family really enjoyed space to spread out in the house and a fully stocked kitchen. It was nice to use the beach chairs provided and cooler at the beach. All the trees in the back yard and pool created a very scenic and relaxing space.

The home was clean and comfortable with all the essentials, plus more, provided. There were beach chairs and a beach cart that we could use for going to the ocean. The beds were comfortable and we were able to sleep well in the quiet neighborhood. We loved the pool, which was fenced in and private. We felt like we were in our own little paradise! Thank you for a great week!

Bradenton getaway

First time in Bradenton. We’re coming back. Have rented numerous times with VRBO and this rental was easily the best. As advertised. Chris was the consummate host and provided immediate attention to any of our concerns (there were very few). First home that we have chosen to return to. Hopefully for numerous additional times. Wonderful stay. In particular we loved the private, south facing heated saltwater pool. Perfect winter getaway.

florida family christmas

Everything was good, pool was heated. plenty of room for everyone. The lanai was a great additional space to hang out. TV's in all the rooms was a benefit for everyone. Had a small issue with heat but Chris was there in minutes to address it. Had a big dinning table to celebrate the holiday together. And the green and red party lights was a big hit and the small christmas tree was a nice touch.

Our stay in Bradenton was a truly great experience. Chris was over the top quick to welcome us and answer any questions. The house was very clean and up to date.

Perfect House for a Lax Tournament

We came for a lacrosse tournament in Bradenton and this was perfect! We had instacart delivered when we arrived and cooked the first night. Close to Anna Maria Island for dinners out. It had chairs for the tournament and for the beach! Quiet neighborhood so our girls were able to go to sleep early. We had a great stay!
