Two living areas plus pool seating area and game room for the kids gave us all room to spread out and enjoy being together without being piled on top of each other. Kitchen, cleaning and bathroom supplies were well stocked so no need to run out for forgotten this or that. Best of all was the awesome welcome package we received.

Our family usually travels at least twice a year and almost always through VRBO and we have never stayed at a place this clean or hospitable. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and treated during our stay. From a welcome note and treats to supplying all the essential items needed during our stay- which, of course, is not expected or necessary but what a gift!! They were so kind and quick to respond with any questions throughout our stay. Staying here made our vacation even more enjoyable and special. I would highly recommend a stay here. You will not be disappointed. ##### Annmarie S.

We've stayed in a handful of vacation rentals around the country - this has been our best experience bar none. From the moment we walked in, the kids were raving about everything they discovered as they explored each room. When we had an issue with the AC, Duke had the AC guy out looking at it within an hour of my text - try getting speedy service like that at home! We did a couple of morning hikes at the neighboring Robinson Preserve - the kids greatly enjoyed the 'Canopy' structure they have there. The property conveniently splits the difference between the Anna Maria beaches and downtown Bradenton attractions like the Bishop Museum & Riverwalk - short drive either direction. ##### Doug H.

I can not begin to say enough wonderful things about Duke & Sugarโ€™s. From the first messages prior to arrival asking questions about child safety and supplies โ€“ they were always extremely responsive and helpful! I was concerned about the pool with young kids and they answered all of my questions and provided detailed photos and explanations of all the locks, child proofing and alarms that were provided for added protection. They provided many recommendations about beach access, parking, activities and restaurants which was so helpful!The home was just absolutely perfect for our family of 4\. From the stocked pool & beach supplies, extra linens and towels, a fully stocked kitchen for cooking and so so so many activities, toys and games for the kids! They even surprised us with a welcome basket special tailored to our childrenโ€™s genders and ages and a nice surprise for the adults as well!The home itself was in perfect condition, extremely well cleaned, and even nicer than the photos made it look! The layout was perfect with two bedrooms on one side and a shared bathroom and the master on the other side with two living spaces and two dining spaces! It was absolutely the perfect set up.The hot tub was so fun the pool was really lovely in the afternoons and not too cold at all!Duke even stopped by to check on things and answered more of our questions about the area. The service was TOP NOTCH. We will definitely be back! Thank you Duke & Sugar!! ##### Mikaela R.

Perfect location, close to the beaches, restaurants and stores. The house has all the amenities and extremely well kept. The pool is the perfect size for kids and adults. The owner's are super nice and ready available, but we had no issues. 5 stars all day and look forward to booking again! ##### Aaron W.

Exceeded our expectations - even better than described! The pool and outside area are beautiful. The game room was so much fun! More than enough room for our family of 5\. The hosts went above & beyond. ##### Colleen P.

First of all the owners take personal pride in making this a home away from home and more. My grandkids had a blast with all the games, toys, and pool items. From the coffee to the comfortable beds this property was a dream. I am so grateful that my friends and family were able to be so well cared for during their stay when they visited me in Bradenton. Absolutely perfect. Thank you! ##### Glenna A.

My wife and I were so impressed with this house that we booked a longer stay for next year. The place was spotless, impeccably maintained and very comfortable. We cook a lot (both in the kitchen and on the outside grill) and enjoyed outdoor dining beside the caged pool. Inside the beds and furniture were comfortable. Every thing was in good repair. The owners go out of their way to insure that their guests have everything they need. ##### kenneth l.

We just stayed at Duke and Sugars and had a wonderful time. Our family came down for spring break and really loved the home. It's very cozy, close to nature preserves, dining, shopping, and the beach. The pool is wonderful, and the owners were incredibly thoughtful and left us little welcome gifts. It really felt like home. The whole process was great. I've even communicated with Sugar a few times since leaving FL. We'll definitely consider staying here in the future. Thanks again Duke and Sugar! ##### Lauryn G. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2023 ---
