Bradenton Lakefront Home 1903

Excellent communication with the host. The house has plenty of room and well stocked. Nice, quiet neighborhood. If we come back to Bradenton, we will book again!

Beds so comfortable, great shower, responsive host, convenient location, pool was warm already did not pay for heating in February. Pool needs skimming if you are swimming since trees leave debris, but skimming net is there and easy. Overall it was a nice experience and a reasonable fee. Will go again

Pool was great, could use a hot tub, happy to help install when we return next year! Due to freezing temps the weeks before the lease were dropping quite heavily but we bought a better pool net and all was good. Pool service person was great. Cleaning could have been better, some things were clearly missed. Kitchen was great, plenty of plats and silverware, could use more coffee cups.

This turn of the century house was large and in a nice neighborhood. Being on a canal was also a plus. The pictures of the pool were not accurate. This was because the pool cage had been damaged in a hurricane last year and then torn down.In the title of the property it says heated swimming pool. In the fine print, it said that you had to pay to heat the water in the pool. I missed that. I was willing to pay to heat the water, but it would have increased the temperature of the water 1 to 2F in 24 hrs. So the description of the pool in my opinion was not accurate or complete. Having a pool was one of the main reasons we chose this property to stay at.In the master’s shower, we could not get the hot water to work. We called the facilities management company, but no one came to fix it or even gave us a call back to check if we got it working.The televisions were connected through a satellite. So each TV had 2-3 controllers to get a picture on the TV.There were no instructions on how to use them.I could not get the TV in the living room working. I called and reported it to the facilities management company. They said they would research it and get back to me. No one called me or a technician sent over to show me how to work.In the last two VRBO stays, I have had issues with properties that were managed by a third party. The issues were never resolved.

As a first time VRBO participant, I have to admit I was rather disappointed when I arrived at our property. I was traveling with my elderly mother, so there were some very specific items that I looked for in the house that we rented. One of them being a screened in enclosure over the pool area. Upon arrival we discovered they had taken down the enclosure and just put up a half fence With no gates just openings into the yard and down to the dock. All of the pictures that are posted online show a beautiful enclosed screened area. This was a huge disappointment. Once I started cooking in the house, which again is another reason that we rented a house and not a hotel so that we could have meals at the home The stove continue to pop a breaker. It took several days to get someone to come out and look at it only to tell me yes, it keeps popping the breaker, that we will need to contact an electrician. I was scheduled to leave the next morning at that point I didn’t care anymore. All of this meant that the food I had purchased to cook was going to waste. The washing machine also sounded like all of its bearings were gone, and it grind terribly every time you had to do a load of laundry. Other than those issues, the house was clean. It is not as bright and shiny as it looks in all the pictures it is dull worn down, well used, but it was clean. Beds were pretty comfortable however, the lack of response from the host would keep me from using this company again.
