Great Florida Vacation Home
This has been our fourth year staying in this house. And everything was great as usual. The location is perfect and the pool, dock, and outdoor kitchen are stellar. We did have issues getting into the house upon arrival. The codes sent by Vacasa weee invalid but we were able to eventually get in. The first night of our stay a Florida thunderstorm came through and we noticed that the roof in outdoor kitchen and outdoor dining area was leaking pretty intensely- so much so that we had to relocate where we were eating. The available dock area fit our 26ft boat perfectly but keep in mind that the road is narrow and problematic for trailer that size. Would also suggest putting cleats on the dock. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back again next year!

Spring Training
This property worked out well for what we needed for a little week get away for spring training. Very quiet, almost too quiet. We had a rental vehicle and we were very close to everything. We visited Bradenton, downtown Sarasota, Lido Beach, as well as many baseball games. The kids loved the pool and the dock to fish off of. We probably could of utilized a lot more stuff but we ate out most meals. The only thing that was a little unsettling was there was really no other people around on the street we were on. It was kind of a ghost street. The only others we saw the entire week was what looked to be the landscapers for the massive house across the canal. Nothing negative came of it, just thought it was a point to bring up. A+ otherwise for our family.

February Stay
This home is a nice refuge with close proximity to SRQ and Sarasota. It was reasonably priced and has 4 full-size beds, a heated pool, a covered patio BBQ area, and a quiet dead-end street location. Note: the home is close enough to SRQ that you will get regular plane traffic overhead during the day.

Nice house, No pool heat or hot tub
We specifically chose this house for its pool & hot tub. I had read a previous review from about a month ago.( I had already booked this house) but the review stated the pool heat nor the hot tub were working. After reading that review I decided to reach out to ask if the hot tub & pool heat were both working properly. I was assured by Vacasa that they were both working. Once we arrived at property the pool was ICE cold and the hot tub was not working at all. I immediately reached out to Vacasa about this issues seems how we paid extra for the pool to be heated. All they could tell me was that reached out to their "local staff" and they would address this issues. They could not tell me if & when someone would be there to look at it. Well, they never sent anyone out to fix it!! I reached out to them every single day of our vacation and all I would get it is the run around from this company. I would not recommend renting from Vacasa. You do get NO direct answers. I was very disappointed in their customer service! I had 2 young kids that were looking forward to swimming all week! There was a scheduled pool guy that was able to tell us that the heater was on but that there was a red service light on & something about the motor not working properly. Which we could hear kick on but then turn right back off. It wasn't something he was able to fix. He also told us the pool heater used to air to heat the pool. So if it was 60 degrees outside the pool wouldn't be warm!! If you rent this house I would not recommend paying for the pool heat. Hopefully you stay when the weather is warm & then your pool will be warm enough to swim in. The Hot tub never worked at all.

Nice house -pool wasn’t fully heated and hot tub didn’t work
While the home was beautiful and comfortable , our 3 kids were heart broken that the pool didn’t get warm until the last day ( we paid extra to heat it ) and the hottub wasn’t working at all. We were in contact with VACASA multiple times but our issues never got resolved . Overall I would reccomend this home for your vacation, but I would first confirm that the pool and hot tub are properly working . We chose this home specifically for those two ammenities and were bummed that we couldn’t use them properly .

Interesting house…great for fishing
Interesting area…not quite what we expected. Chose this house for pool and dock. They guaranteed pool heat and pool never got over 76. They claimed it was due to 60 degree weather, but our pool at our home heats up to 90 with no issue, even in colder temps. If you want a warm pool, would suggest only renting in very warm months. Used nice screened in area. a lot. Good house for fishing.

Great stay
Overall it was a great experience. There were a couple of minor issues with leaks but someone was sent out the next day to repair. Great spot to catch Pinfish. We had the kids set up with small hooks and small shrimp right off the dock and within a 2.5 hour period the 4 of them caught close to 30 Pinfish. They had a blast and made the entire trip.

Perfect Quiet Bay Area Home
We had an excellent stay and thoroughly enjoyed the property. The pool is perfect size for a group of 6. Outdoor seating/kitchen was ideal for coming dining after being on the water all day. Things to note: Those bringing a boat - beware of the tight parking. The street dead ends into another property’s driveway making it a tight squeeze to maneuver the truck and trailer. We have a 19’ boat and had just enough space to jackknife the trailer into the driveway. The nearest public boat ramp is about 15 minutes away by car and 20 minutes by boat. The marina across the street would not allow us to use to launch and load. We put the boat in at centennial park on 10th street in Sarasota. While kayaks are provided launching the kayaks from the dock is difficult and best done at high tide. Over all we enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable and the cleanliness of the home was acceptable.

Great home base
The location of this rental allowed us to check out many of the area beaches and shopping/dining districts. Returning home each night to a heated pool with canal views made our time all the more relaxing. We utilized the kitchen and covered lanai for breakfasts in each day and it was great having laundry facilities to minimize the necessary packing of clothes. We had a great time and would definitely consider the property for our next visit to the area.

Almost perfect
We have rented many VRBO's. This one was, without a doubt, the cleanest one we have ever stayed at. We were thrilled about that. If I could make two little suggestions, 1) a bowl to mix a salad in (we used our great grandson's sand pail :) and 2) a little blanket for use in the living room while watching TV on the sofa. The owner was very responsive and the house is great! We hope to stay again at some point. Jean and Joe Pretto - St. Louis, Mo.

Spring Break Excursion
It was a wonderful house to stay at. Easy to get to off the main drag and centrally located for our trips to Sarasota. Pool was great; last 3 days we couldn't because pollen count was up too high and it wreaked havoc with the chemical balance. With that being said, there was absolutely great communication with the Vacasa hosts in this situation and they gave us a small refund with regards to the heating cost. Only downside was we had to make a store run to get some basic necessities for the kitchen area and we really couldn't easily use the kayaks because of the water level. Otherwise a great house and we could easily come back again!

It was as advertised and we enjoyed our stay. Pool and hot tub were great and being on the canal was very nice. I would suggest some additional lounge chairs and newer ones), more steak knives, nicer pots/pans with lids. These are small little things but would be a nice addition. Management company was very responsive and helpful (VACASA).

Convenient location. Lots of amenities.
Great central location with easy access to restaurants, groceries, etc. Its a short drive to beaches, preserves, ropes course, mini golf, distillery, etc, other attractions. The house has a very unique layout with the bedrooms and bathrooms. We had a group of 4 adults and 2 children (7 & 9) and the kids spent lots of time in the pool. We had the heat added and although the highest temp the water got to was 87 degrees, it was only 70 the day of our arrival and it took a few days to warm up. We had a minor issue with the chemicals in the hot tub and they sent the pool technician over to fix it. The Pool tech, Bo, was very nice and knowledgable and had the hot tub back in action quickly. We fished from the dock and were surprised to find there were 2 rods at the house. Prior to travel, we specifically asked about fishing poles and were told the house did not have them so we brought our own poles. The kayaks are really big 2 seaters and its hard to get them in and out of the water. There are orange around the neck type adult and youth life jackets supplied. Again, I specifically asked if youth life jackets were supplied prior to travel and I was told no, so we packed our own which took up a lot of space in our luggage. It was a pleasant surprise to find these items stocked but it would have been nice not to have to pack them. There is a kayak launch site at the park across the road, but aside from carrying the heavy kayaks over there, we had no way to transport the kayaks to the launch. (We had rented a convertible) The park across the street also has play equipment and a baseball diamond. The indoor kitchen is well stocked and even has paper towel and dishwasher soap. The outdoor kitchen and fish cleaning station came in handy. There could be a few lounge type chairs added to the pool area, some grilling utensils outside, ladder or kayak launch to help get in and out of the canal would be a great addition. Note that laundry detergent is not supplied. Overall, we had a great vacation and would definitely stay here if we visit the Bradenton area again! It is a beautiful property in a convenient location with quick access down the canal to the Gulf.

The property is fantastic, but we had problems with the pool and communications with management.
Upside- The house is beautiful and comfortable. Downside- We sent several messages asking for the pool to be heated. We didn’t receive a response from the property management timely, which almost disqualified us from getting the pool heated. After two hours and lots of confusion regarding our reservation talking to Vacasa, we finally were able to get our request confirmated. But, when we arrived the pool heater was broken, so the trouble was all for naught. Vacasa did say they will refund the pool heat fee, so we will see.

Great location!
We had a nice stay at this canal front property. Wish we could have stayed longer! The home has been updated inside very nicely. We loved the outdoor covered porch and grill area along with the pool and hot tub. The two tandem (2 person) kayaks were great too. Just a bit heavy to lug over to the park across the street for access to the water since there is no ladder or easy canal access from the raised dock. The park across the street has a play area for young kids as well and a baseball field if your kids need to run around. We had a few small issues but the property manager was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Overall, a nice weekend getaway for us!
