Quietness

My friend and I enjoyed a two week stay here and it was very accomodating with all our needs; even a laundry room. The decor was quite interesting with portraits and colorful. It's NOT your usual run of the mill, boring place. We highly recommend this location and address as it's close to Bradenton Beach and Anna Marie Island. And we especially loved the quietness of this location! Thank you Doug and Candy!

A Great stay. Home has everything and very clean. Candy is amazing and a great host. If bringing a bot, make sure to contact the Marina and make sure to reserve a space and therefore be able to launch. Otherwise restricted to public! We would go back for sure!!

Boat parking can be tricky and I wouldn't recommend launching from this marina with a jet boat. Too grassy and creates issues. Other than that the place was nice and as expected. Thank you!

I would live here if i would.

I can't rate this appartment enough, it was the most beautiful, quirky awesome beach condo! The beds where super comfy, the kitchen was really well stocked and the place was immaculate. Plus access to a grill and smoker ( which made me super happy). The appartment is only a short hop to AMI, or bradenton and easy acces to Cortez. Doug and Candy (the owners) live downstairs and where super friendly with recomendations and places to visit. I can assure you. We will be coming back.

The unit was very clean, and stocked well for our stay. We loved the vibe of the home, the decor, wall hanging, and rug with very cool. The unit is second floor, noisy garage door that opens and closes below, in a workshop. The view from the balcony was not what we expected, looking out to trailers. Our overall stay was good! Very cozy

Great vacation spot!

Sunny Shores has it all! The dwelling was very well equipped and pleasantly decorated. The kitchen equaled my own, and the beds were VERY comfortable. The lovely deck is a fun place to enjoy a cocktail, read a book or just relax, and a waterside park is just steps away. A pleasant surprise was the presence of the owner nearby to offer help and hospitality.

A Home Away from Home

The home and location is even lovelier and cleaner than we imagined! The property is nestled in a pretty little community away from the traffic of Bradenton and close enough to walk or bike to the beach. The property is well maintained, super clean and comfortable, with everything you need even extras like books, board games, and items to use at the beach - a home away from home! The entire place feels spacious and offers plenty of privacy and the owners are respectful of your privacy as well but also very helpful when you need it. The neighborhood felt very safe. Be sure to check out Tyler's Homemade Ice Cream only 5 minutes away and the bakery next door - Delicious and notalgic! We would love to stay here again if given the opportunity to visit the area in the future!
