I couldn't think of a better place to send my daughter and granddaughter to! Casey was super responsive and even tolerated my lack of tech skills! Thank you Casey

Short family getaway
This was a short getaway, was about 10 to 15 minutes from the island, which was super convenient. The owners were super responsive, friendly and we would absolutely stay here again. The backyard space was absolutely amazing.

Great family vacation!
My family had a blast at this property. I have 3 boys under 8 who loved the pool and putt putt area. This property and the surrounding ones would be perfect for a family reunion if you managed to rent them all. The backyard is perfect for grilling out. We will definitely be back in the future!

Our Host, Casey
Our Host Casey was very nice. She made sure that we were comfortable. We had to go down to FL for a family medical emergency. The house and property were very clean. The pool was a stress relief at the end of the day. I will definitely stay there again if we go back!

Great spot for families with a dog
We all enjoyed our stay at Wimpy's. The fenced front yard was very handy for our dog. The pool area was amazing. I agree with other guest, there are a few things that need attention but it did not affect our stay. We would book again.

Chemical Burns from pool
House was clean. It's a duplex but advertised as a house. Not a private pool, it's shared with 4 other properties. When someone arrived on the other side of the duplex you could hear them as if they were inside your rental. I did like I had a private area for my dogs. Other side showed up with 3 dogs they kept letting in the pool area even though contract clearly states it's not allowed. THE WORST PART! MY 10 yo grandson had to be rushed to the hospital and had CHEMICAL BURNS to his eyes and face, my son had chemical burns to his back and friend had burns to her eyes. I had noticed the pool guy was there 2 days in a row putting chlorine but I know nothing about pools. The Dr at the hospital said we "reeked of chlorine" and said we need to test out pool. I explained I was in a rental and he said I need to tell them it's too much. I got back from the hospital late my grandson was in excruciating pain. I finally got him settled. We left the next day. I messaged the owner and the only response I got was ok I'll let the pool company know. WHAT? Ive given him time to reach out to me and nothing. I even took a pic of the hospital paperwork showing the diagnosis. We left the house spotless so he could at least refunded the cleaning fee to cover the ER visit!

Great Getaway Cottage
Wimpy's Whereabouts is a cute, cozy, clean and well-appointed, pet-friendly cottage in a nice neighborhood within short distance of shopping, restaurants and beaches. There is an amazing pool that families with children would love! The property manager was responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay, and would book this cottage again in the future!

Compound with shared pool in Bradenton, FL
This unit worked well for us. It was definitely neat and clean and the location was good-close to a church and a school and not too far from the beaches and shopping. It appears they are still working on things and figuring things out. There was no remote for one TV so we shared the BR one with the living room which worked, there was no shelf in one bedroom closet, seems like there are still projects going on at the house that have not been completed-not a big deal and something we didn't mind-neither shower light worked-we couldn't find extra bulbs to change them, drywall needs patching and finishing but we also realize sometimes cleaners and guests don't inform the hosts of these items. No extra linens or blankets if someone is cold.
We received no information on check in or check out so we winged it and did what we've done in the past with VRBO rentals.
Shared large, fenced yard and pool were great-pools slide was awesome, they have created a nice compound that can work well for groups of all ages.

Delightful
Used the pool every day! (Love that it's heated!) Set up nicely for family enjoyment, our kids range from 8-1. Even when other rental families were using the pool, plenty of room to not feel crowded.
Landry and full size kitchen were the bee's knees for this mama.
Interaction with the owners was always professional and comfortable.

Nice place to relax
We had a great time. Just away from home grilling the pool.
It is a quiet spot near town. The pool toys/equipment were a nice touch and having our own laundry also nice.
