8/10
Overall this was a pretty good place, but could be even better, especially for the price. The pool is nice, decor is beachy, and it is fairly comfortable but not "high end". The beds are okay (feel like foam ones but not pillow-top comfy) and there is just enough of everything but could have more. For ex., there is seating in the living room but not nearly enough for a house that fits 8 people (a sectional would be a better use of space), the swings are fun but create a lot of unused space for seating, there were three dish towels, which last 1 day and you have to wash again, there is patio furniture but the cushions are seem to be replacements, they are not not plush/very comfortable, etc. It also seems a little dark in the place as there are storm shutters that are propped over the windows and don't let a lot of light in. The neighborhood seems transitional, it is not in the the really nice part of Bradenton. It is only 15 minutes from Anna Maria Island beaches but that is early morning or late evening, not the mid-morning when it takes at least 40 minutes to get to the beach. There was only one broken beach umbrella but in contacting the owner, she quickly reimbursed us for purchasing two to leave at the house, which was nice. However, I expected that would have been sorted before we arrived. I also wish there was recycling at the house. Again, good but not as high-end as other places we've stayed at similar price points. Nice owner.
