Spring break is always a busy time of year on the island but the tropical back yard setting makes it easy to enjoy the Florida climate.

The property welcomed pets. The pool was fantastic! The furniture was clean. The kitchen was well furnished. The grill was in good condition. Outdoor fans and lights provided a nice evening place to sit and visit, play games with the grandkids as well as eat our meals. The location was convent to both cause ways to the island as well as the park for the kids to play and the dog park for our dog. The roll down screen in the garage provided a safe play environment for our 3 and 5 yr old grands. Very nice neighborhood. The NEGATIVES : the king and queen mattress was very uncomfortable. Baseboards were noticeably dirty.

We are 6 adults in our 60s and from PA. We found the house to be perfect for our needs while visiting Bradenton for some Spring Training baseball and fun. The outdoor pool and patio were perfect for relaxing in the sun and shade. We spent many hours there. The house looks just like the VRBO pictures and the listing is accurate. We really had no complaints at all. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We would happily stay there again should we decide to stay in Bradenton again.

We loved staying at sunshine dream. It was two of us and two dogs and the house was a perfect fit for that. We loved the neighborhood and its centralized in Bradenton so it was close to everything. The dog friendly house was huge to us since we travel with our pups, so we are grateful this was the perfect dog friendly house for us.
We drove 18 hours to the house and the experience was worth the trip! About 15 min from the beach and never had a problem finding a parking space. Went to the beach from 11am to roughly 5pm ordered dinner on the way home and had a great dinner at the house every night and pool time after dinner. The house was in a nice neighborhood and very clean and neat. The master bedroom was a little hot, the air didn't seem to circulate very well in that room only, but that was the only gripe.

Nice home, 10 minutes to the beach. Pool was great, would have been nice if it was cleaned during our stay. We were there for 7 days with two dogs. House needs more kitchen utensils, hand soap, more then one garage bag and toilet paper. Need to read reviews, master mattress needs Replaced. A lot of reviews had asked for it. Would stay agin, just know what to pack.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for staying with us in Sunshine Dream. You paid for a departure clean but if you stay with us in the future you may request a mid-stay clean for an additional price.
In your driving instructions that contains the entry code there is a section that tells what is supplied at the property by Florida Dreams Realty, please take time to read all information sent as it is of value.
The mattresses comfort can but subjective as some guests like them soft and others firm, nevertheless we have addressed this concern to the owner for replacement.
Kindly,
FDR Team
My family stayed at this property in August. When we arrived, the small back yard around the pool was covered in dog feces. My husband had to spend 30 minutes cleaning up a large grocery bag full of poop. Having arrived with 3 dogs ourselves, I simply cannot understand how someone could relax in the pool area surrounded by poop, or how this was overlooked. Other than that, house and pool were great.
