Big & Beautiful Dreams of Paradise Home

Beautiful house & pool, and fully equipped & stocked with towels, toiletries, and kitchen appliances, etc., including ping pong table, cornhole, board games, beach chairs / pool floats & noodles…Very close to downtown Bradenton (Pier 22 restaurant) & Anna Maria Island (AMI) (Historical Bridge Street). Our family had so much fun & will definitely choose Dreams of Paradise next time we head for AMI again. Thank you to Lucy from the DofP management team, too!

The worse vacation

Drove over 20 hours for the worse vacation ever, thought everything was understood when getting the house through Vrbo and gulf coast rentals, suppose to have heated pool and they screwed me out of that, they thought 500 dollars compensated for the 2 weeks we couldn’t use it, that’s not even close to make it right, then they had a roof replaced and it wasn’t cleaned up and I got a flat tire and had to deal with that, and trying to get the problem fixed they ran me around, said pool heater would be fixed and they Lied. I’ll never rent from either company ever again and I have used Vrbo 6 times and never again, I got everything saved they texted or emailed. Don’t Let them ruin your Vacation!!!!

Great place to stay

Place was in a nice area, and the property manager had amazing communication. There were a lot of wasps nests and they took care of it immediately. The only reason I am taking off a star is because of the cleanliness of the place, as well as the lack of some basic things in the kitchen, which I usually find in other properties (like salt and pepper). It was clean but not as clean as I would expect. There were some stains on the pillowcases and hairs in the bathroom. However, overall it was a great vacation spot and the pool was a great place to spend time in the hot afternoon.

Did not meet my expectations - some maintenance needed

Nice house but encountered a few issues. Would not book this house again. 1. NO supplies in the house upon arrival. No toilet paper, no paper towels, no soap, shampoo, anything 2- shower faucets very loose in both bathrooms, feels like they're almost ready to fall off 3- water not hot enough to shower in master bath, had to shower in 2nd bathroom closer to the hot water heater 4- pool filter was running but not cleaning the pool. Pool was merky and no water coming out of the jets 5- Rear doors and outside door to garage were not locked 6- Garage door did not work upon arrival. One of the sensors had been knocked out of adjustment 7- Thermostat was set to 80 degrees upon arrival. Took most of the night for the AC to pull the temp down to 70

Beautiful home, great location!

The house was great, exactly as described. We are a family of four, two teenage daughters, we particularly loved the pool and outdoor living space. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay, including a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and linens, pool toys, beach chairs, coolers, etc. Communication with Gulf Coast was excellent, we cannot recommend this property and management company highly enough. This is the second time we have booked a property through them and would definitely do so again, an excellent experience all round.
