We had no pets. Dishwasher is very noisy. Found candy wrappers in couch cushions. Could use updating but understand there was a hurricane last year. Bikes weren't ready to be used. Should have been. Owner came and got them ready after being notified. Very roomy. Deceiving from the outside. Overall pleasant stay.

While we ultimately made the best of our week there it was a bit of a struggle to get there. The photos presented to the potential renter need to be updated. They are very misleading. The back deck is not all concrete as shown in the picture it’s half concrete and half plastic decking with hundreds of exposed screw heads. (Rough on the feet). There is a home being built on the outside of the backyard fence. You can literally touch the home from the pool deck, there is no privacy as assumed by the current photos. The pool was dirty upon arrival and eventually turned green while we were staying there. The owner did have the pool cleaned while we were there after we reached out. There was a nest of bees located under the ramp to the shed which made enjoying the backyard less than enjoyable. (We addressed this ourselves while there). There is no privacy to the master bathroom located in the master bedroom. While it’s a gorgeous bathroom that has been beautifully updated I found it off putting that I could observe my spouse using the toilet while simply sitting in the bed. There was no option to shut a bathroom door for privacy. Had we known a little more about this space this may not have been the home for us this vacation. The owner did reach out after we left and thanked us for laundering all the linens before we left, as well as offered us a 100 refund for the inconvenience.

Waking up every morning and seeing the Manatee River out the large kitchen window while I drank my coffee is definitely the thing I will miss the most. I rented the home from June 4- July 2. I have grown up visiting Bradenton and the surrounding areas since the 1980s. We were able to drive everywhere we wanted to go within 25 minutes with many of our favorite places within 5 minutes. The four large rooms, each with a king bed, was great for our group. The property owner was very easy to reach and any minor issues were immediately addressed. We had the best time. We saw dolphins, manatees, fish, and many birds from the dock and looking out the kitchen window. Sunrises and sunsets were amazing. The house had everything we needed and everything was in working order.

Much needed vacay

This was the perfect spot for spring break. Out of the busyness but still close enough to everything. You do have to plan your outings with extra time due to the crazy Florida traffic. It was so nice having a pool in the back yard and the dock across the street for nightly sunsets. Communication was top notch.

Great place to stay at! The host, Brent, was awesome with communication and very quick at responding! Everything was just perfect! We had a few issues in the house and when we texted Brent he texted back right away and fixed the issues. The neighborhood is very quiet and relaxing. The outdoor pool area was great. There’s a few things that could be fixed but other then that it was a perfect stay.

Sunset Therapy

We were long time Bradenton residents but moved away a couple years ago. We came back to visit friends and family. The yard was fenced in and perfect for our two dogs. The house was clean and very comfortable and well stocked! We fished on the dock across the street, we watched beautiful sunsets, grilled and swam in the pool! We were very close to shopping and restaurant and made it out to Anna Maria and Longboat key pretty quickly! We would definitely stay again!

Easy to Enjoy!

This is the 3rd year that we have stayed here, and we enjoy it more each year! Great location near Riverwalk, restaurants and downtown, but tucked in a quiet neighborhood looking out onto the scenic Manetee River. Private and well maintained pool in the backyard is an added bonus. Everything about the property is so easy to enjoy!

Great house!!! If You’re Bringing A Boat Read This

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Sunset Therapy. We have stayed in Bradenton before and wanted the same area. Brent was kind and attentive to our questions and needs. The pool is phenomenal, the kitchen is nicely stocked, having the bikes, and lots of linens made life easy. The view are amazing and the neighborhood is great. Two tips: First- it’s a regular coffee maker no individual pods. Second - if you’re bringing a boat just know that it is about an 45 min to an hour ride (we have a Key West Center Console with a 250 engine) to get to the “turquoise water” and sand bars if you’re wanting to hang out there. So to get to Greer Island and Jew Fish Key expect a longer ride. If you wanna fish and be on the river this place is perfect! We were not unhappy with anything it’s just good information to have so you are prepared. Also, you should definitely go eat at Woody’s River Roo! We went 3 times. LOL. Thank you for a great time Brent!

Family Spring Break

We’ve been traveling to Florida for Spring Break since 2014. This place was one of our favorite houses we’ve rented. We didn’t want to leave. We loved the quiet neighborhood, pool and dock. We spent hours on the dock looking for dolphins, manatee and stingray. Also, the beds are super comfy! Hope we make it back someday.
