Everything about our stay was superb! The condo had everything one could want for a home away from home. The apartment was furnished so comfortably with a true"beachy" vibe. We really lucked into the best place on Bradenton Beach! Thanks so very much for sharing such a lovely, well-thought out place overlooking the bay

The condo was exactly as shown on the video. Every imaginable need was met at this totally remodeled unit. Morning coffee was a joy on the patio watching a sunrise over the bay while pelicans and dolphins were always to be seen. We had the best neighbors Dorthy, Kim and their friendly dog Kiki who made us feel right at home. Very highly recommended this property !

We enjoyed our stay. Especially thankful for 2 helpful experiences — we had trouble with the lock one night and the owner contacted us immediately, and I left some clothes in the unit when we left. Got a call 15 minutes later so could easily return to retrieve. Very thoughtful!!!

Linda is an amazing host. Condo is clean, spacious, and well stocked. First rental we stayed and didn't have to buy every supply needed. Property is quiet and neighbors are so nice. Excellent communication with Linda. Close to many beaches to visit. By far, this was our favorite stay. We hope to visit again.

Amazing Vacation

We had a wonderful experience at this condo. Linda and Randall were the perfect hosts and very responsive. The condo is as described, and the location is great. You can walk or ride a bike to most any place you want to go. We enjoyed watching the dolphins, jumping fish, blue herons, egrets, pelican, etc. from the patio. We would highly recommend a stay at this location; we definitely will return.

This condo was everything that was listed and more! It was so nice to not have to run out and purchase all the extra little things that you usually have to… Sunscreen, hand soap, shampoo, kitchen supplies, etc. These were all available and helped to make a very enjoyable and relaxing vacation!

A perfect condo in a perfect location

From the moment we first made contact, Linda was an amazing host. The condo is perfect with everything you need for a relaxing stay on Anna Maria. We loved the bay views for sunrise (with manatees, dolphins, pelicans, herons and an osprey to watch fishing) and the short stroll to the beach for Sunset. Bridge Street is just a few stops on the free trolley with a stop just outside Runaway Bay entrance. We hope we can come back soon, thanks for allowing us to stay in your lovely condo Linda.

The property was outstanding above and beyond accommodating. We had a small leak in the refrigerator. It wasn’t bad. I notified the owner and it was fixed that day. Other than that everything was fantastic we would definitely stay in the same facility.

Beautiful view of the bay!

Great location, beautiful and spacious condo. There were 5 adults in our group, and we never felt crowded. Everything we needed for the beach was there. Beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, beach towels, etc. An added bonus was the pantry that had spices and other things you may need. It was nice to know the items we left will be useful for the next visitors. Great view and lots of wild life right outside the back door! This is a well maintained property in a quiet area. Great for older people. We'd definitely stay here again!

Amazing Vacation

Thank you so much for sharing your little peace of heaven with us. We sat on the back porch and watched dolphins, herons, cranes, and pelicans and later made the short walk to most beautiful beach. The condo is everything in the description and more. There were games, coffee, beach chairs, a cooler and umbrellas, cable and WIFI, beach towels and more. We wanted for nothing. The owners were lovely and checked in with us to see if there was anything we needed. This property was like walking into a home away from home. We are already planning our trip back. Thank you again for allowing us to stay and create the most wonderful memories:)
