This was a wonderful place to stay while we were in town for a weekend wedding in the Bradenton Area. The location just before Anna Maria sound is excellent for getting out to the beach strip with Holmes Beach Anna Maria Island and Bradenton Beach and all the waterfront restaurants/bars and at the same time super close proximity to grocery stores and shopping in Bradenton all along Manatee. The unit owner was super communicative from the very beginning and checked in with us when we arrived to make sure everything was good to go. Super easy to get in touch with them. The unit itself was very well laid out with lots of privacy for each individual bedroom and having ensuite bathrooms with two of the bedrooms was perfect for our family. The common area (living, kitchen, dining) is well laid out with tons of seating, plus good sight lines from most every single part of the common area straight out the back to the waterfront. The kitchen was huge the island was almost oversized with additional counter seating and fully stocked with all utensils and cooking needs. Though we didn't cook at all since we were always out enjoying the restaurants and bars. The screened in patio is HUGE and perfect for cocktail hour and meals--was our favorite part for sure. Anchorage has got those two of us had to do some work from the road, and sitting out there with our laptops was a true pleasure. Tons of wildlife activity right outside the door, majestic sunsets and salt air breezes--we loved it and would definitely stay again.
