Average Property
View from property overlooking river very nice.
Owner replaced missing beach chairs and wood for the for the fire pit. We never used because of high winds and consideration of neighbors. Barbecue looked brand new.
The comfortable looking chairs shown in the lanai pictures are no longer there. We stayed 5 weeks and considering the amount of money we paid it would have been nice to have seat cushions for both the hard wooden chairs in the lanai and the outdoor metal patio set. We did mention this to the owner.
The description states garage under parking but there is no room to park a car the owner uses it for storage.
Kitchen has original old cupboards and fridge is missing middle shelf.
The house is outdated. Yard could also do with some TLC.

Great Location
Enjoyed our stay, restaurants were great and close, loved Anna Marie Beach. Home was located in a great place. Unfortunately, my husband could only catch catfish which was disappointing for him.

Everything you need + nice views, pet friendly
The home is older but clean, beds comfortable, nice water views and yard for the dogs (not fully fenced) but room to play fetch etc. Has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Location was good for restaurants etc. Host was very thoughtful and checked in first day to be sure we were comfortable

Great water view and very clean.
Our family of three really enjoyed this rental. Very clean and functional. Great view of Manatee River and close to attractions. We visited the Bradenton Motorsport Park, the aquarium in Tampa and enjoyed an airboat/gator spotting ride in Arcadia.

Perfect location if you like fishing and sunsets
Property manager had good communication. She was very easy to work with. Location of the house is fantastic and my husband was in heaven fishing. Well kept and cute setup. 2 outdoor restaurants with tropical beach vibe within 2 miles. Wee will certainly rent again here. It was a wonderful Birthday get away for my husband
