A great place to stay (centrally located w a truly wonderful host)
Hurricane Helene forced us to seek long-term housing off island (Anna Maria Island) this winter so we found this place in Bradenton. The neighborhood seems quiet and pleasant, but what makes this VRBO stand out is that the neighbors and the host are incredibly nice and down-to-earth people. The holidays bring out the porch pirates, and these neighbors obviously look out for each other. We had barely moved in and the lady across the street popped over with a holiday tin of home-made fudge. So sweet This home was mildly damaged during the 2024 hurricanes, and the Host is diligently working towards making the necessary repairs as quickly as he can. Since most of the repairs were outside, the Host arranged to have the work done with as little disruption to our stay as possible. Any time something comes up, the Host is incredibly responsive. For example, we found a trail of ghost ants (hey, it's Florida so it's basically par for the course down here) and the same day the Host showed up with bait stations to place wherever we saw ants. We happened to mention that some of the patio chairs looked like they had cracks in the plastic and the next day 4 new chairs were delivered (we only mentioned the cracks so we wouldn't be blamed for them!). Wow.The house is older, but the Host makes sure that anything that comes up is addressed immediately and thoroughly.We would definitely stay here again. Thanks very much, Host Dan, for making our stay as pleasant as possible!
