Bradenton in the sun
Nice house, quiet neighborhood …on a canal but with fewer birds than usual. unusually large pool. Very responsive rental agency once we were on the premises. Less so before we arrived. Rented it again for next year…

great house & pool
Great location, private, good views of sky and canal, pool was too cold but we still enjoyed it some, beds were comfortable, air conditioner was locked at 72 which was too cold for us seniors, neighborhood was very safe to walk in which we did twice a day. Saw manatee and baby in canal, osprey, fish, and a few boats. Would stay there again.

Great Stay
we had a great stay at the Bay Cruiser. The house is very spacious, pool is clean and good size. We had grandchildren with us and they had a great time in the pool and fishing in the canal. This location is walking distance to a large preserve that is ideal for walking and biking. The location provides easy access to Anna Maria Island and Bradenton. We would stay again!

Fast perfekt
Sehr schön eingerichtetes Haus in perfekter Lage. Schnell an den schönen Stränden von Anna Maria Island und auch Einkaufsmöglichkeiten jeder Art alle nicht weit. Die Bäder weisen nicht ganz den Standard auf, der sonst geboten wird. Im Außenbereich fehlt es leider an einer Lounge-Ecke und an einem Esstisch. Der Tresen mit den harten Hochstühlen lädt nicht zum langen Verweilen ein.
