Quick Getaway
This is a hidden gem in the downtown area. Nice quiet neighborhood. Plenty to see and do right down the road. Also not to far from beaches and the price is right. Not our first stay and won’t be our last. Only complaint, it books up fast, so, book as soon as possible.

Great home away from home
Neighborhood was very quiet and the neighbors were extremely friendly. Nice area to spend a quiet vacation. The house had everything needed to make it comfortable. Having the bbq grill was an extra bonus. Bed was very comfortable. Security lights were a plus. We really enjoyed the front porch and back yard. The outdoor furniture made it homelike.

The cottage was well equipped for anything you would need for a stay. The furniture was in good shape and comfortable. Nice neighborhood and yet secluded. Near the river and city activities.

Great location, quaint and comfortable home
Nice cottage in an historic district! We enjoyed the walking distance to downtown Bradenton Main Street and along the Riverwalk. We also enjoyed the new years celebration. The front porch was a big plus and relaxing to sit outside and see friendly neighbors. The home was well-stocked with everything we needed for our visit. We will be back!

Perfect place for a few days in Bradenton
Perfect little cottage for me and my wife on our anniversary trip down to the Bradenton area. Short walk to some nice restaurants and an easy drive to Anna Maria Island and some great beaches! One thing to note, if you are a nonsmoker you may want to grab a scented candle as the house does smell a bit like cigarettes. Not a big deal - there's a Publix right down the street with a good selection. I'd 1000% recommend David's place if you're heading down to the area!

I was visiting my hometown, and never knew there could be a very low traffic and quiet area connected to downtown Bradenton. Knowing there is a possibility of red tide every year, I opted to stay inland to avoid it and more importantly to be closer to family so they could visit us. This is right in the middle of a full time resident neighborhood too. That's a plus!! The amazing mango trees on the street, they are so abundant, most of them get ran over or left to rot. We loved staying here and when we visit again, would love to stay again!

Nicely Equipped
This was our first time using VRBO. I have to say it was the best rental home that we have stayed in. The kitchen was equipped with lots of gadgets. We also appreciated the selection of spices and condiments. The bathroom also had many supplies. They had beach chairs and towels for us to use. The bed was very comfortable. Overall a great stay. I would highly recommend.

This is the 3rd time I’ve stayed at this little place and I absolutely love it. Quiet neighborhood, extremely clean house, walking distance to the river and approximately 15 minutes to the beach (8-10 miles). You won’t be disappointed with this place:) It had everything we needed. Will definitely be back!

Great place!
I absolutely love this little duplex. It’s close enough to everything and the neighborhood is quiet. This is my second time staying here. The only thing that could use some work is the water pressure in the shower but that’s a small price to pay for this comfy little place:) I will be going back soon ! Wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else.

No complaints, only compliments
Although I did not need to speak with the owner during our visit, he was quick to respond and informative prior to our trip to Bradenton. The house had everything we needed… And it included some nice amenities that made the trip easier and more comfortable. The property was in a quiet and safe neighborhood. It was clean and well-maintained. I would definitely recommend this property!

QUICK TRIP TO FLORIDA
The home is lovely. We loved the color choices and decor. it was just a easy 20 minute drive to the Island and beach where my sis and fam were staying. We loved the Riverwalk which is within walking distance from this home. The neighborhood was very tranquil. The kitchen was well stocked and did not lack anything we needed. We would definitely stay here again. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The owner was very accommodating.

Just Perfect
A prime example of what you should expect from a vacation home rental. Absolutely spotless and well equiped. Private off street parking. Quiet, secure neighborhood. Location, location! We were there as a spot to visit Sarasota from. As it turned out Bradenton was pretty nice itself. We were just over a block off the water, nearby the nice little downtown and the riverwalk. We would not hesitate to stay here again and again

Sweet, quiet place
This was my second stay at this property. It’s a sweet, clean, well appointed place in a quiet neighborhood. The mattress was more comfortable this time than 2 years ago (foam now). The only problems I had: the batteries were bad in one TV remote & the batteries provided were the wrong size (not a big deal because the bedroom TV worked fine & didn’t watch a lot of TV while there), the cold water handle in the bathroom sink was difficult/stiff to turn, & I fell on my knee on the very hard stone floors, but this was my fault because I dropped olive oil on the floor & didn’t clean it up properly. I enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the mornings listening to the birds & feeding the neighborhood cat. The hosts are great & promptly respond to messages. Check in was a breeze. Great location. I’m certain I’ll return.

Place was clean, everything u needed was there. I think the chairs for the beach needs replaced
Our over all stay was good, wasn’t real impressed with the location, but after u find bus stops to take u to the beach ( then u can take the free trolley to different locations) it was good ! But I think maybe mor directions left for people would be an asset so people could find these things befor the end of there stay

Excellent small neighborhood in walking distance to Bradenton Riverwalk and restaurants
Thank you David for providing such an inviting, quant home for our week in the Bradenton area. Such a perfect and affordable place to stay, and we enjoyed our walks around the neighborhood, river views and restaurants - all within 5 to 10 minute walks from this property. The drive to Anna Maria island was only 20m and no highway traffic - just couldn't have been any better. The home was well stocked, and the attention to detail in the kithchen and the bathroom did not go un-noticed.

One month of relaxation
Very clean, quiet, convenient to main streets and the beaches. There is a good deal of foot traffic to speak or wave to. The tiled front porch partial shade/sun and was the perfect place to enjoy the neighborhood. There also is a patio in the back for you to enjoy. The kitchen seemed to have everything I needed to cook on occasion. I did have one question and text them and had a response soon after. Thanks to our hosts Mary and David
