I had left my laptop Charger plugged in behind the sofa, when I callled d they said housekeeping didn't find it.

Hi there! Thank you for stopping in at Florida Dreams! We sincerely apologise for the concerns you experienced during your stay. The linen inventory you described is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and this has been reviewed with our team to ensure all required items are properly stocked and verified prior to guest arrival. We are also sorry to hear about the microwave and the comfort level of the furniture. Maintenance has been notified so that the microwave issue can be addressed, and we are reviewing your comments regarding the furnishings as guest comfort is very important to us. Regarding your laptop charger, we completely understand how frustrating that situation must have been. Our housekeeping team did conduct a search when notified, but we regret that the item was not located. We will continue to reinforce our post-departure inspection procedures to ensure thorough checks are completed. Thank you again for your candid feedback. It helps us identify areas where we can improve, and we do take these comments seriously. We would welcome the opportunity to host you again in the future and provide you with a much improved experience.

Hi Hillary! Thank you for stopping in at Florida Dreams! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—we truly appreciate it. We're glad you chose to stay with us, though we're very sorry to hear that the kitchen facilities didn’t fully meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the issues with the ice maker and the sink faucet. While we provided a countertop unit as a convenience, we understand it fell short, and your comments about its performance and the lack of a built-in ice maker are noted. We're also sorry about the leaking faucet and the missing sprayer—this definitely isn't the standard we aim for, and we’ll make sure these issues are addressed promptly. Your input is incredibly valuable and helps us improve for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a much smoother experience.

Outdated Nightmare

Confusing check-in and finally had to get another property manager to find our unit. Once we were settled, tried to watch the tiny tv but there were 3 remotes and no instructions about which to use. Frustrating. Our bare feet were black from the tile floors. Uncomfortable couches had no support at all. No garbage disposal. Short toilets. Stained towels. Pealing paint. We left 3 days early.
No cushion. Would you want to sit here?
Is this really welcoming?
Hardly any room in closet for our stuff.

Property was GREAT - Communication was lacking

We had a family member that is moving to the Bradenton area and needed to pull a small U-Haul trailer. A few days before arrival, we sent an email through the website to inquire about arrangements - as instructed on the website. When we received no reply, an attempt was made the day before our arrival, and still no reply. My wife then called directly and spoke to Ceaser. I have to say that Ceaser was very helpful for what he could do. He tried to reach out to the on-call property manager. We were on hold for approximately 25 minutes and Ceaser could not reach the property manager for any direction on parking his truck and trailer. Outside of that the property was nice and in a great area.

Sealed in a Plastic Bubble

The resort itself was nice, however the unit we stayed in needs some work. There was no communication prior to or after booking about the building getting power washed and painted for four days of our stay. All doors and windows were sealed in plastic during that time. We were unable to use the back sliding door or they’d be spraying right above us as we tried to exit the condo. The smell of paint fumes lasted all week. Next, the A.C. went out and of course it was the weekend. Management delayed sending someone out until Monday, but then they were a no show Monday with it finally getting fixed Tuesday. The dryer was possessed and would scream like a banshee and never turn off despite what setting it was on. Two laundry pods were left for a two week stay, which were needed as two different linen sets had blood stains on them, and mildew on the shower curtain. The kitchen was minimally equipped and only one pan to cook with. After the air went out we compared it to camping, just there roughing it. The neighborhood is not the best with a group of men frequently hanging out on the corner by the liquor store. Overall, I’m not usually a complainer and travel several times a year, this was by far the worst stay I’ve ever experienced. This is also the first review I’ve ever written, hopefully to warn others from making the same mistake.

Hi Nicole. Thank you for stopping in at Florida Dreams. Thank you for your detailed feedback, and sincere apologies for the very delayed response. We're truly sorry your stay was impacted by maintenance work, the AC issue, and other inconveniences. This is far from the experience we aim to provide. Since your visit, we've taken steps to improve communication, responsiveness, and overall unit condition. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention and regret that we fell short during your stay. Thank you again for your honesty.
