I travel the country with my team for work events and we rent a variety of homes and this is one of the most accommodating and entertaining homes we have stayed in.The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances allowing us to meal prep for the week, the number of rooms and bathrooms allowed for a very comfortable stay, closet space was exceptional, and the swimming pool and hot tub were perfectly maintained. The billiard was a hit along with the putting green in the back yard. We travel to this area annually and will definitely book this house again next year. 10/10

This house and yard were absolutely amazing. It accommodated our group perfectly and had everything we needed. We loved the pool, hot tub and surrounding patio. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor a stay here! The proximity to beautiful Anna Maria Island was very convenient for travel to the beach, restaurants and nightlife.

This home was perfect for our extended family vacation! We had so much room! We spent much of our time in the outdoor area - the pool and hot tub were family favorites, and enjoyed congregating on the outdoor furniture and dining outside. The pool table was also a big hit. The home was very clean, and the host was extremely prompt with communication. We would absolutely book again!

Wonderful house

We had a wonderful time! Six long-time college friends enjoyed plenty of room to spread out, relax, and have fun together. We played games at the dining table, chatted on the lanai, had fun in the pool, and even tried the Skeeball! Although we had quite a bit of rain, the spacious indoor areas and activities kept us entertained. What a fun house for a group getaway!The house is close to Anna Maria Island, St. Armand Circle and other fun places to explore.The kitchen was the best-equipped VRBO kitchen I’ve ever seen. We didn’t cook much, but it had everything you could possibly need to prepare a big meal.We reached out to Jenny a couple of times, and she was incredibly responsive. When a minor issue needed attention, someone from her team arrived within a very short time.I highly recommend this property if you’re visiting Bradenton! The house is in a lovely neighborhood, so just be mindful of the neighbors and keep things respectful and quiet at night. If you’re looking for a place to host late-night outdoor pool parties, this isn’t the house for you.

Felt like home!

This worked out perfectly for our 3 chaperones and 8 soccer girls. It was so comfortable and convenient from the comfy beds to being able to have a wagon and chairs for the ballpark. So spacious and nice, it really was so luxurious. We loved it, we felt right at home!

SO comfortable!

This is a perfectly appointed house for a family or group. Everyone has space and everything you need is there including fun games for the teens. The style is delightful and the location is great. You can walk to a little bay beach and my dogs loved the yard. The hosts were accommodating to my requests. Highly recommend!

Soccer tournament

The property was laid out in such a way that everyone had their own space. The communication from the host was impeccable and I would highly recommend staying here for any tournaments at IMG Lakewood Ranch.

Wonderful Stay by the Bay

This has been the most amazing rental experience. The house comfortably hosts 14 guests, with no details spared from kitchen supplies to laundry and game rooms. It had gone through a brand new renovation and was meticulously cleaned and beautifully furnished. Our party of 14 of different ages all found plenty to do both in and out of the house. The location is convenient for walking around the neighborhood, to the causeway, or driving to Target/Publix to grab something. It's a ten-minute drive to the island, where the beaches and sunsets were gorgeous. We also enjoyed parasailing and dolphin/sunset cruise there. What a wonderful experience and everyone cannot wait to return!

Great outdoor space

Our family gathered for a post Christmas vacation. We spent much of our time outdoors poolside. The outdoor furniture was the most comfortable. The table outdoors was big enough for all of us. In addition to the outdoors , the house is conveniently located to beaches. We enjoyed walking a few blocks to watch the sunset. Inside the rooms are spacious and elegantly furnished. The kitchen has all of the upscale and modern appliances including air fryer, rice cooker, ninja blender and large toaster. The host/hostess provided ample toilet paper, paper towels and dishwashing detergent. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Bradenton area.
