Dear Jo Ann,
We are sorry you were disappointed with the condo. The pictures listed on the website are accurate and depict exactly what the furniture in the condo looks like. Although the style may not be your personal taste, it is clean and functional and you knew what it looked like before you booked. The condo was deep cleaned and inspected before your arrival.

Good afternoon,
I am very sorry to hear the unit did not meet your expectations of cleanliness and we will report this to our cleaners.
Please, in the future let us know as soon as possible so that we may do our best to remedy the situation.
Warmest Regards,
A Paradise
I have stayed 6 other times at Shorewalk and love the place. This unit had several problems that the management addressed promptly. We had a worker in the unit 5 out of 8 days which did impact the trip. I asked for compensation from the owner but did not receive a reply. As a property owner, I would compensate renters if my property wasn’t ready to rent.

Dear Christina,
Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We certainly take all reviews serious.
First, we would like to apologize for the frustration you experienced. We want you to know that we appreciate your feedback. It will allow us to resolve any problems that occur and help us to improve our services.
Unfortunately, we have no control on when appliances break and/or malfunction.
We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and hope to offer you better services in the future.
The condo itself was spacious and had enough room for our family of four. The condo was equipped with plenty of towels for pool time and in the master closet we were very pleased to find beach chairs and sand toys to take on our trips to the beach. Updates to the condo would be greatly appreciated, such as larger televisions, a tv in the master room and more up to date furniture. A deep clean, repaint, patching of some holes would also be appreciated. Luckily, with a Publix and Walmart, so close by, we were able to pick up some toiletry items needed for the bathroom, such as Kleenex, laundry soap, soap and shampoo and some better toilet paper.Our family enjoyed the various facilities such as the pools, hot tubs, shuffleboard, basketball hoops, pickleball courts and ping pong table. Although, the poolside attendants were a little overwhelming with rules and making sure the environment was calm and quiet for the majority of elderly residents. Overall it was a pleasant stay and would consider returning. The host was nice to give us a later checkout with our flight leaving later.

Not as advertised
Property not well kept up. Manager there says nothing been repaired or updated in at least twelve years. Baseboard rotted Ceiling stained from leaks twelve years ago. Sink and bathroom stoppers missing dirty carpets. It is advertised as " on the beach". It is actually 8 miles from the beach. We were unable to get our mail or pills delivered because the management of the property said we didn't rent from them but through the owner. We rented through Paradise vacation rentals not through shorewalk which is where we were. Also when we rented we were led to believe the unit was on Anna Maria Island. It's not, it's in the city of Brandenton.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We take all reviews serious. It is unfortunate that you left such a negative review. We are sorry that on this occasion this property did not meet your expectations.
On the day of your check-in, you called us immediately because you couldn't find your Shorewalk condo. A colleague of our staff was on the phone with you for almost 30 minutes to give you directions to Shorewalk over the phone. Which is no problem for us, and we are happy to help. You then called our office as you were having trouble connecting to the internet and your own DVD. At this time a staff member from A Paradise came over to the condo to help assist with connecting to the internet and getting you’re DVD player working. Again, no problem at all. Unfortunately, after these two calls, we did not receive any further calls from you in regard to any other issues. We cannot rectify issues if they are not reported.
We don't know who you spoke to at Shorewalk. This person (manager?) was not responsible for this condo. Each condo is managed by different property managements.
Furthermore, Shorewalk does not allow guests to send their private mail. Unfortunately, the HOA has decided to allow only owners receive mail, at the clubhouse or mailbox. Entire Shorewalk complex has 280 condos, and which means that the mail cannot be delivered to each.
Furthermore, the photos shown here are exactly what the condo looks like and the property description never mentions that the condo is on Anna Maria Island. Our description says exactly where and how far the condo is from Anna Maria Island/Beaches.
Next time we advise you to read the Arrival Instructions which included the Address and a map of Shorewalk and the condo description better.
We appreciate your feedback and please make sure in the future, no matter where you stay, you call and report your issues so they can be addressed.

We were in Bradenton for my son’s baseball trip to IMG. The location was perfect. The property was exactly as listed… clean, comfortable, and very well stocked with paper products and cleaning products. Check in was also very easy. We will most likely be taking this trip every year, and I would rent this place again in a heartbeat! Thank you for providing us a perfect place to stay!
Great place to stay in a great location! Master bed isn't the most comfortable but everything else was great!

Neglected unit
This property needs attention. Carpets were dirty and worn. Door/ handles loose, and dirty. Vertical blinds old and difficult to operate. Kitchen well stocked. Water stains on ceiling in master. Baseboards need major attention. Property nice, but probably wouldn’t rent this unit again.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We take all reviews serious.
We really appreciate your feedback.
This unit is booked since November 2021 with no break between . All guests before you have stayed have no complaints at all.
Julia, I’m so sorry about this.
So, when we checked the unit in November the carpet did not look like this. After your email we have called a carpet cleaner to clean the carpets and changed one of the keys too. If we had been made aware at your stay of these problems, we would happily have dealt with some of this issues promptly and efficiently.
Again we are grateful for your feedback; it enables us to monitor standards and to ensure that we are providing the best holiday experience for all our guests.

Not family friendly. Amenities were more of a hassle to use than accessible.
Office personnel made it difficult to enjoy any of the amenities. Felt as though they discriminated against us due to being young with kids.
Beds in Condo very firm.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We certainly take all reviews serious. With that said, we did not receive any phone calls or emails from you during your stay with any complaints, so we were a bit taken back when we read your review. We have never had any complaints about the Shorewalk Vacation Villas clubhouse staff. Shorewalk Vacation Villas welcomes all guests, and it is very kid friendly. We are sorry you felt as though you were discriminated against, and we certainly wish you would have called or said something to the Shorewalk Villas staff while you were here verses leaving it in a review. We do hope you enjoyed the accommodation that A Paradise Vacation Rentals provided.
We were in Florida for a National tournament for soccer. This property was perfect for our needs! The conveniences of “home” allowed us to enjoy the competition, while providing our daughter with a comfortable setting to rest and prepare for her games.
The owner has obviously considered everything needed for your stay; the apartment is just as pictured. We saw some interesting birds and waterfowl on the waterway outside our window. (Roseated spoonbill, egrets, heron, ducks...)
Our main irritations were dealing with the many rules of the condo management. Although there were very few guests we had to make an appointment to use the shuffleboard equipment and the one gas grill which closed at 8PM. Don't count on amenities being available.
The property was clean and was well stocked. It was in a quiet area but we had to drive to everything. It could use some updates, a carpet shampoo and fresh paint would help and maybe a roku or something that offered streaming options.
While the Covid restrictions on the pool/clubhouse hampered our ability to enjoy the on-site facilities, the location and proximity to the beaches made up for it. The condo was perfectly clean, with plenty of cleaning products to maintain that during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, and linens were premium - would recommend!
First time in Bradenton. Love that small town atmosphere. Will have to come back and enjoy your beaches again.

Not a good experience
The plumbing in master BR didn’t work, plumbers never came. Beds were too small and hard as rocks. Screen was old and damaged. There was no balcony although the pictures make you think there is one. Note to self and others; forget this place. Charged way too much. Would rather stay in a hotel. Water and mold damage everywhere including the ceilings.

Hi John,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. It is unfortunate that you left such a negative review. Seems as though you did not clearly read the description and look at the photos enough to see exactly what you were renting. Our listing clearly states that there is no balcony and the pictures clearly show that as well. Our listing also clearly states the sizes of the beds. Queen and 2 twins… I believe these are standard sizes all over the world and there would be no possible way for us to have “small” beds as they are the standard queen and twin sizes. As far as firmness of mattress, everyone has a preference. This condo was rented out all summer and we never received any reports of the beds being uncomfortable. When you reported the issues with the master bedroom toilet a plumber was called and went and made the repair while you were not there the very next day—per your request. Also please note, you would not have been able to get a hotel for the price you paid at this condo. In addition you did damage the entry lock box at this property and did not follow check out procedures. I would not recommend you as a guest to other owners.
