Nice but
Nice clean house and neighborhood. Comfortable furniture with all the kitchen necessities, but property would have benefited with a walk through before we arrived. Pool water level was low so pool heater was short cycling, lost most of a week of pool use due to cold water. Numerous light bulbs bad in kitchen and entry. Would rent again, better than average listing.

Very nice rental house
Our family really enjoyed this rental vacation home and was very close to beaches, shops, restaurants, etc. Very relaxing and enjoyed hanging out poolside when not out venturing AMI area. We had one issue during our stay - the clothes dryer did not produce any heat to dry our clothes. We packed for the trip knowing we had a washer and dryer and this created some frustrations as we had to run the dryer on air fluff for 3-4 cycles to get 1 load of clothes dried or hang them out on patio or closets. Overall, great place! Wish the management company would have gotten the dryer fixed within 24-48 hours of our stay, but was not addressed for our whole stay.

Satisfied
This property is in a nice, quiet neighborhood and is close to many stores. The home is smaller than what it appears in the pictures, but the decor is very cute. There are ample amounts of dishes/cookware available, but the pans are old and food was sticking to them. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable, but the beds in the other two rooms were cheap, hard, and squeaked whenever you moved. The pool was small and dated and did not stay warm during our stay (although the weather was very cool). There were also issues with some of the electrical outlets prior to our arrival and we were provided with extension cords to plug in the living room lamps. There was also an odor of wet dirt coming from the water in the home, but we were advised from the property manager that the smell would improve with more use, as the house had been sitting empty for a few weeks. Also, you are expected to supply your own trash bags, dish soap, paper towels, and toilet paper. They provide a “starter kit”, but if you’re staying longer than 4 or 5 days, you’ll need to buy your own. I’d rather pay extra money and have those supplies available for me to use, as needed, then going out and purchasing my own. We had to purchase more than what we’d ever use while we’re there, which is just wasteful. Overall, the stay was decent and the property manager was friendly and responded quickly.

Perfect! Everything you need!
The house was very clean, spacious, well equipped, beautifully decorated and furnished. The property management company was friendly and provided excellent customer service. The owners have really thought of everything, including pool toys for the kids, floats, beach chairs, umbrellas and even provided a beach cooler. The current pictures don't do it justice. The neighborhood is beautiful and quite. No heavy traffic and the grocery store was a short drive from the property. The pool was very nice and clean. The outdoor area provided a tranquil atmosphere, we spent most of our evenings by the pool. Anna Maria Island and Coastline Excursions are also a short drive from the property and we absolutely loved exploring Anna Maria Island and snorkeling in the emerald waters of Anna Maria and Egmont Key. We got to see a lot of marine life, dwarf seahorses, sand dollars, star fish, manatees and dolphins. We have stayed at a couple of VRBO's but this one is one of the BEST! We will be back!!

We enjoyed the house and pool but there are some things that need to be addressed
The property manager that we spoke to was always friendly and helpful but there are some things that could be cleaned and changed for the comfort and safety of the renters we had to ask to have the pool area sprayed for spiders as there were a lot of them also the rugs used in the house by doors were terrible just tripping hazards they need to be runners with a good non slip backing also ALL beds need mattress covers for the protection of anyone who sleeps on them also the outside of the house needs to be cleaned and some attention to the yard area

This property was just perfect for my family. We like that the house is tucked away in a very cozy neighborhood and is exactly where we'd choose to live in Bradenton. Having Beach supplies was a plus so we added to the collection!! I will definitely be back.

Could’ve been better
Upon arriving late in the evening, we immediately noticed the couches were so soiled we didn’t feel comfortable sitting on them. The property manager came by next day to examine and made arrangements for the maintenance guy to come the following day, to spot clean the couch cushions, they also smelled. He chose to clean the area rug as well and it was so filthy the water came black. The chintzy supplies were quite embarrassing. The tiny bars of soap were so small it was a waste for them to even be packaged, really? There was one extra roll of the cheapest toilet paper, one very small roll of the cheapest paper towel, two dish washing pods for the dishwasher, one of which we were reminded to use to clean the dishes before we left so the cleaning people didn’t have to. There was ONE extra trash bag and all the trash cans were dirty inside Trash day notification needed to be updated as we read to put them out on a day that didn’t get picked up, needs to be corrected, and get this, you can’t put it out the night before.....what? Although we paid a cleaning fee we were asked to remove the linens, & wash, put away all the dishes, ok no problem but maybe we should share the cleaning fee since I had to clean before we could comfortably enjoy this place. The comforters were not clean, I recommend taking them completely off the bed before use! The bathroom mats were so dirty I had to put them in the wash before we could use them. The quantity and the quality of the items stocked did not match the cost of the rental, not to mention the low supply of towels for four people. The dryer was full of pet hair, and the pillows were stained, thank God we brought our own! We were aware 10:00 is the check out time, but the cleaning lady sat in front our place one hour and fifteen minutes before check out. The staff does not call when they say they’re going to. We know of other that rentals offer some sort of cancellation policy and payment plan, however this place required full payment at the time of booking with absolutely no options to cancel. They weren’t clean or good enough to require that for sure! Needless to say we do not recommend Florida Dreams rental nor will we ever book with them again.

Nice property, nice area
The heated pool was chilly. They changed the water heater on our last day of our stay. :( The floors were filthy. We wore shoes in the house after the first day because our socks and bare feet were turning black. Besides these two things, we enjoyed our stay.

Summer 9 day stay
We recently stayed here for 9 nights from june 30th to july 9th. We overall loved the place. It was very clean and open. The bedrooms were decent size with tons of closet space with lots of hangers. During our stay the washer had went out and the owners and listing agent were on top of it and always sending a heads up on what was going on and when a new one would be delivered. They responded and acted in a professional way. I would only recommend for the owners to look into getting a grill for outside and maybe a pack and play for people who travel with infant/toddlers. Over all this was a beautiful peaceful place and I would rent it again in a heartbeat.

They thought of everything!
LOVED this home! I booked this property to enjoy with two former college roommates, one of whom lives in the general area. The home was spotless when we arrived. The home was very spacious, with comfortable furniture. and a beautiful pool that was just the right temperature. We went to the beach every day and they provided a cooler and beach umbrella/4 chairs for our use. We could easily park 2 cars in the garage. The beds were all very comfortable and there were plenty of necessities like toilet paper, paper towels, hairdryer, dish soap, hangers for our clothing etc. They had a nice coffee maker, toaster, etc for us to use. We didn't cook much but saw lots of cookware. The check-in/check-out process was very simple. From this property, it was a short 10-minute drive to Holmes Beach and 20 minutes to Bradenton Beach. Thank you, Ingrid and Oliver, for making our vacation a memorable one!
