A perfect location for your trip to Bradenton. This home has plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 small dogs. It was clean, safe and very cozy! It had everything we needed for our short stay.

Stayed 15 nights in Dec 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Charlie G., The Villages, Florida Mar 3, 2023 Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### DO NOT POST THIS The property is 2.5 miles from the Riverwalk not 1.5, WIF: network name and WFIF Password were wrong, there is a concrete box on the property but if should not be called a FIREPIT, there is a KOI pond with @ fish \_ they "pond has a screen over it and you can hardly see the fish< the yard consits of sand with weeds - so you track sand in the home every time you enter or exit (front or rear) minimal useable cooking utensils/fry pans/oven plates wit very low end flatware, cups etc. The toilette paper holder in the bath room is located behind you when you're seated, floors don't match and the wood work was never complete. They have Roku tv - you better know ho wto use it or you're lost. The frig makes noise - like it's trying to fill the ice maker and the washing machine makes SO MUCH noise - you can hear ANYTHING while it's on. Besides this.....what else do you need? ##### Charlie G. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Makayla E. May 6, 2024 #### Great stay. This was our second time staying in this home. The ambience was just as great, if not better, than last time! In a quiet area but still close to PLENTY of great shops, restaurants, and BEACHES! I will be back to this home and would definitely recommend it to anyone who want to enjoy the crystal clear water of the coast in a more reclusive area. Thank you “Don’t be Koi”. For an amazing vacation!! ##### Makayla E. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### nice house All the info online was very accurate.
