SHARED MOMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS
"I had to stay in Bradenton for 2 weeks from out of town for a medical procedure. I was looking for something that could accommodate my large family over Christmas and was reasonably priced. Nicole's home fit the bill. The house was even bigger than I gathered through the pictures. It was comfortable and convenient to my doctor and extended family in the Palma Sola area. The house was comfortable and the perfect place to convalesce while also enjoying the Christmas holiday. We had the chance to enjoy nice restaurants at Bradenton beach and the amenities of West Bradenton. If you are looking for a home away from home, this is the place!" -Emily

"Our stay here was wonderful. Very centralized to other towns. Highly recommend staying here if you need close distance to IMG Academy. Her place was clean, organized, and a great fit for our family. Nicole was responsive the entire stay with great communication. You can tell she truly cares about her guests and their experience. I know we will be back to this area shortly and plan to stay here again." -Brooke
