Host was very responsive to all inquiries from booking to time at the property. Location was nice with vicinity to Riverwalk and downtown area. Unfortunately had an abnormal cold evening and only a space heater available for the property. Overall an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for highlighting the location and communication — I truly appreciate that.
You were absolutely right — we experienced an unusually cold evening by Florida standards. While the property is typically very comfortable year-round, I understand how that drop in temperature could have affected your stay. I’ve since reviewed our heating setup to ensure we’re better prepared for those rare cold snaps in the future (3 New heaters).
I’m so glad to hear you still had an overall enjoyable and comfortable stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back anytime.
Warm regards,

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
The house was good but there was no kitchen. We were not aware of that. Very small dorm room size refrigerator.
Host had the lights on for us when we arrived and had the heaters running. There’s a mini fridge and microwave, but no dishes to speak of or light meal prep capacity.

Thank you for your stay and for the helpful feedback—I’m glad you arrived to a warm and welcoming space.
Since your visit, I’ve added plates and silverware to make light meal prep more convenient for guests. I’m always looking for ways to improve the experience, and feedback like yours really helps.
Thanks again for staying, and you’re welcome back anytime!
We were welcomed and the host urged us to call with any needs. Be aware there is no flatware and no supplies for washing coffee mugs.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us. I truly appreciate you pointing this out.
I sincerely apologize that flatware and dishwashing soap were overlooked during your stay. That is a standard I aim to provide. As soon as I became aware of the issue, I purchased additional flatware and dish soap are now fully stocked for months of future guests.
I’m grateful you mentioned that you felt welcomed and encouraged to reach out — that means a lot to me. I wish I had known about the missing items during your stay, as I would have brought them over immediately.
Thanks again,
John and Declan
Beautiful place, but there was fighting close by so we just stayed inside

Thank you for mentioning the noise during your 1-night stay. What you heard was the Italian neighbors across the street celebrating a birthday with an outdoor cookout — they tend to be very enthusiastic when they talk, but it was all celebration, not conflict. Your comfort and safety are very important to me, and I appreciate you letting me know. Safe travels, and I’d be happy to host you again anytime.”
The host was readily available for questions and concerns. The structure was centrally located in downtown Bradenton a block from River Walk. Finally, the huge Jacuzzi bathtub was AWSOME.
The host was very welcoming. The property was good for a place to just sleep. It does need some remodeling done. I think the owner is slowly doing this.
The house was very clean and inviting! The location is close to everything but far enough away to be peaceful & quiet! The host was very attentive and quick to respond! I will consider this property again when needing a place to stay!

Thank you very much for staying with us. I'm teaching my 10 year old son the importance of offering a clean and comfortable place at a fair price that is better than any hotel options in the area. Thanks again John and Declan LaBonte
Stayed only 2 days and loved it. Property was clean inside and out. Loads of channels to choose from on both TVs. Only issue we had was the neighbors had VERY lots y parties both nights. Considering it was Friday and Saturday nights, it was what it was!! Thank you for making our trip nice and peaceful.

Thank you again for the wonderful review! I’m so glad you loved the property and had a comfortable stay.
I do apologize for the lively neighbors that weekend — Friday and Saturday days can sometimes bring a little extra energy to the area. On a fun note, One of the neighbors occasionally sell homemade ribs that many locals consider some of the best around — That brings extra cars and can be misunderstood for partying.
I truly appreciate your understanding and your positive spirit about it. You’re welcome back anytime!
Best regards,
John and Declan
We were there for 4 nights, went to the beaches there and done some shopping. It was cozy all we needed to be comfortable we loved being there beautiful neighborhood, beautiful vrbo, we definately be back thank you.

Thank you! I'm in the process of screening in the front porch.
DO NOT BOOK HERE.Do not book without confirming details. I reserved this property for Feb 12–15 but did not stay due to serious undisclosed issues. I arrived around 11:00 PM and contacted the host immediately regarding a strong smoke odor (despite the non-smoking listing), a malfunctioning master bedroom AC, and that the space—described as a duplex—was actually attached to a private home with only a shared wall. Through the wall I could hear a dog barking and an individual coughing continuously. The host did not respond until 11:42 PM, stating the dog would be leaving; by that time, I had already left not knowing whether the host was going to respond.As a recent transplant recipient, smoke exposure and lack of proper climate control posed a health hazard, so I could not remain in the unit. I contacted the host to report the issues and request a refund; the host was unresponsive after my request and later denied the refund, disputing the smoke odorFuture guests should confirm smoke-free conditions, the exact layout of the property, and that all systems are functioning before booking.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you chose not to stay.
I do want to clarify a few points for future guests. I responded the same evening and addressed the concerns raised at the time. The property is listed as smoking friendly; there is a designated outdoor smoking area on the front porch, which is clearly permitted and separate from the interior space.
Regarding the temperature, the unit was functioning properly. On the night in question, outdoor temperatures were unusually cool (around 56°F), and the AC unit is designed to a 60⁰f cooling limit. This is normal operation, not a malfunction.
The layout of the property is accurately described in the listing, including that it is attached with a shared wall, which is common for this type of accommodation.
I also made attempts to communicate and assist, including offering to meet at the property, but was unable to connect further after the guest departed. The reservation remained active and was not canceled, which prevented rebooking those dates.
I always strive to provide a clean, comfortable, and accurately represented stay, and I encourage guests to review listing details carefully and reach out with any questions prior to arrival.
If you are looking for a weekend getaway at a property close to everything this is it. It was a great price for the location. Check in was super easy. I didnt have to reach out to the owner but from other reviews his communication is good. The overall place was clean and the bed was comfortable. Water pressure in the showet was amazing. There are a few things that could be better...the ac in the bedroom made a whining noise when turned on and didnt go away, there was several different shampoos and body washes that look like they were left from other guests, and we heard people what sounded like shuffling on the other side of the wall. There was also what smelled like cigarette smoke but I also think that was from the otherside of the wall, it wasnt overwhelmingly though and the listing does say smoking friendly outside. The front door didnt seal very well unless the slide lock and deadbolt were locked. Could probably use weather stripping. Overall we enjoyed our stay and as I said if you want a convenient safe place to sleep this place is it. It was very cozy and we felt safe.
