The family and I just spend a few days staying at this wonderful, perfectly located, perfectly described beach home.
I affirm that the property is impeccably clean. The house has everything you need and nothing you don't for a nice trip to the beach.
The beach is literally down the street and there's a nice pier at the opposite end of the street where you can throw a few lines in the water and fish. There's light fishing tackle on premises to borrow, as well as a cart for beach chairs, umbrella, towels, etc.
The house looked clean, smelled clean, and had air purifiers running upon our arrival. Kitchen had everything you would need to cook a quick meal or throw a pizza in the oven. Restaurants and the downtown district are within walking distance which is ideal because this area, though it has public parking, was very busy during our visit during spring break.
The host, Mark, was available and even stopped by the property briefly during our stay.
This home is in a cluster of beach homes with a mix of renters and permanent resident owners so it is not for those looking to be loud after hours. It's quite peaceful.
As far as the home decor - it is appropriately beachy and updated. Keep in mind though that this is a very cozy home which shouldn't be an issue if you plan to be outside - but if you have a rainy week maybe have some backup plans for activities. There's a card table and few other games in the house to hold you over if that's the case. DO READ THE CHECK IN DOCUMENTS, they have the instructions for use of the TV and other important details.
The home has only one full bathroom, in the master bedroom. It was very clean and functional. The home has a 2nd half-bathroom in the other bedroom.
Few other notable things. This was my first time to the Bradenton Beach area and like other public beaches in Florida public consumption of alcohol on the beach is not allowed. This was heavily enforced during our trip. Also, if you plan to fish off the breakwaters on the nearby beach, you MUST have a Florida fishing license. There are many local fishing charters for hire if you'd rather have full service or want to go for something in particular.
I would definitely rent this property again if I was in the area. Our family had a great time.
