Great home!

Beautiful home, inside and out. Very spacious. We enjoyed the covered pool, 2 living rooms, gym in the garage, beach supplies, and more. Great location with close proximity to all shopping needs. Very close to the beach, although traffic makes it a pain to get to unless you get up early. Would certainly book this place again.

Clean, Spacious, Close to the Beach!

Our stay was perfect. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the host was communicative with us in ensuring our stay was perfect. The house was beautiful, spacious, very clean and had many things to do. I can safely say nor the adults or kids were ever bored. The house is set up in such a way where the entire family can gather, indoors and outdoors, and enjoy time together. The neighborhood was quite and peaceful, and very close to the beautiful beaches. We loved every second of our stay and 100% recommend anyone to book their stay here.

The pics don't do it justice. The house was exceptional. The only thing that was a problem was having to bypass the door alarm every time to open the door, and then shut it within 10 seconds. I understand the importance of the alarms, but when you don't have any small children staying with you, it stinks. Other than that, wonderful place!

Love hearing it felt even better in person—that’s always the goal, Jt! So glad you enjoyed your stay at Crazy Like A Fox by AMI Locals. When a home surprises you in a good way, you know you picked a good one. We hear you on the door alarm as it can feel a bit extra, but it’s there as a safety feature for pool access and something you’ll see across a lot of island homes. Really glad everything else hit the mark. Come back and enjoy it again anytime!

Amazing Stay for Soccer Tournament

We were in town for a soccer tournament, this home was exactly as pictured. The layout was perfect for our 2 families, with lots of living areas for teenagers and adults to relax in. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The pool was clean and outdoor area was very spacious . They have everything provided for a beach day or several games for inside fun. Would absolutely recommend this home for anyone to rent, you will not be disappointed.

"Crazy" great vacation home! Loved it.

We were "Crazy" about our fantastic stay at this Florida vacation rental home. Conveniently close to the beach, nature parks, and downtown Bradenton, it offered the perfect location. The interior was beautifully furnished and spacious, providing both elegance and comfort for us and our adult children. The full kitchen was so nice to have while traveling. We appreciated the attention to detail and the luxurious amenities that made our stay even more enjoyable. The private pool is screened in and was a great feature for us all to enjoy, and having the exercise equipment available was convenient. Overall, it was a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy everything the area has to offer. Thank you for hosting us.

Recharge the batteries

This property was amazing located in a beautiful neighborhood very comfortable and relaxing. Property host was extremely competent and addressed any need you had . The only negatives were the ping pong table was too small to use and the tv channels were limited compared to what we have at home but neither one was a big deal . The pool was awesome enjoyed mornings drinking coffee outside and then a dip in the pool to wake up . The grill cooked really fast we enjoyed using it . The showers and beds were awesome also we highly recommend this property and would consider buying it if it came up for sale .

Excelente propiedad, ubicación muy conveniente para nosotros. Ya nos hemos alojado varias veces antes y nos resulta cómoda, espaciosa, funcional y la ubicación es muy adecuada para nuestro estilo de vida en el área. Hemos rentado varias propiedades a Anchor y A diferencia de las veces anteriores no hubo kit de bienvenida para cocina. Elementos escenciales para limpieza, bolsas para basura, etc. si bien lo reclamamos y tuvimos respuesta del anfitrión nunca llegó a la propiedad. Tampoco había gas en los tanques de glp para el barbecue. Tuvimos que comprar 2. Sugerimos que haya más mantenimiento en el jardín, sobretodo el jardín trasero. Nunca cortaron el césped y estaba un poco largo. También sugiero que frente a estadías tan largas el anfitrión ofrezca limpieza adicional durante la estadía. Tuvimos que contratar por nuestra cuenta. Seria bueno que tenga bicicletas, pero es un gusto más personal. Pequeños detalles que pueden mejorar. El funcionamiento de toda la propiedad es excelente, el acceso, equipamiento, cercanía a Preserve, AMI y IMGVolveremos y la recomendamos ampliamente

Coming back multiple times is one of the nicest compliments we can receive, so thank you for choosing Crazy Like A Fox by AMI Locals again, Gustavo. We're glad the home continues to be a great fit for your stays and that the location, spacious layout, and proximity to the Preserve, IMG, and AMI work so well for your lifestyle. We also appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry the kitchen starter items and requested supplies did not arrive as expected, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. Thank you as well for the suggestions regarding the propane tanks, landscaping, and options for additional cleaning during longer stays. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving the guest experience. Most of all, we're grateful that despite those items, you enjoyed another great stay and plan to return. We look forward to welcoming you back for many more sunny days at Crazy Like A Fox!
