"This property is beautiful so thoughtfully appointed, beautifully themed decor- it submerged us in our perfect vacation getaway. Easy, breezy and amazing 🤩 We had a problem with the e-lock (1000% our fault) and used the text number to report the issue and someone was there within 15 minutes to fix it for us. Every amenity we would possibly need was provided and I’ve never been so relaxed on a family vacation!!! This place is a 10/10 and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area. Anna Maria Island is 4 miles away and was so convenient to just hop in our truck and go whenever and wherever we wanted!! Will definitely be back thank you to the property owner/ hosts for sharing your slice of heaven with our family. Our memories there will last us a lifetime.

"Everything was extremely clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. I thought it was a nice touch that there were items on hand in case you forgot something. The location was close to many restaurants and the beach. It was a short drive to downtown Bradenton. We enjoyed being able to sit outside by the pool and watch the birds by the pond. It was a very peaceful spot. I would recommend this home and will keep it on my list for future visits to the area.

"I could sit here for hours and tell you every wonderful thing about this property, its amenities and its location but who has that kind of time, right? The house was IMMACULATE- this coming from a clean freak- zero dust, zero grime, just an absolutely- picture perfect property. The house has everything you need and then some. The kitchen is completely stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook a quick meal or a 5 course dinner! Tupperware, tinfoil, mixing bowls, you name it, it's there! The pool- ohhhhh the pool, the entire reason I rented this property. It was pristine! My husband barked at me for needing a pool yet somehow, his behind was in it more than I was!! It's heated to the perfect temp for those cool night swims and there is a bin of all kinds of floats and pool toys for your choosing. The pond behind the house was something i didn't know i needed. They're not lying when they say tons of wildlife visit this pond. You're going to be surprised every time you look outside that beautiful kitchen window. Also, they have binoculars and a bird book on the coffee table and you bet we used them!! So handy. The location is perfect!! Right off the main road and 10 minutes from the most beautiful beach I ever stepped foot on. The garage was stocked with tons of beach equipment, coolers, chairs, carts, toys - absolutely amazing!! I could go on for hours!! If you're thinking of renting this property I say -WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!! I will be back!! SOON!!!

"Beachy Dreams is one of the best homes we've stayed in on our many trips to Florida. It is comfortably furnished and well equipped generally. It's location is ideal for the beaches . We stayed when hurricane Milton came through, so no beaches open and restaurants closed. Even so we felt safe in the property. We would highly recommend it for a Florida holiday.

"Perfect for our needs as a relaxing vacation and as a meeting place for some old friends and family. It was beautiful, clean and uncluttered. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. We used the boogie boards and beach chairs on our beach days. We enjoyed the gorgeous pool day and night. Please stay in this terrific home located in a convenient, quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood. We ate breakfast and dinner at the house and were only minutes from delicious Florida seafood lunches at the Swordfish Grill, The Star Fish Co., Tide Tables Restaurant, The Old Salty Dog and The Anna Maria Oyster Bar, etc. We had engagements in Sarasota with friends, went to see the Bradenton Marauders, a minor league baseball team, and drove to Ybor City in Tampa for a concert. This home is reasonably priced and so convenient for many vacation activities. We also enjoyed watching the birds on the lake. Thank you -- perfectly relaxing spot!
