Beautiful home in Bradenton gated community
Amazing Florida house in a gated community! Exactly as described in the listing. It was VERY clean, spacious and bright. The outdoor space was perfect for morning coffee and relaxing. Beautiful beaches nearby with white sugar sand.
The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to have a relaxing dinner at home. Beds were newer and very comfortable. There are so many activities, pools, hot tubs, workout space, and walking/biking trails within this community.
The owners were very easy to communicate with, and made us feel so welcome. We will be renting again next year.

Fabulous house
When first entering we immediately noticed how clean the entire house was. The well-equipped kitchen allowed us to make meals with all the needed utensils and cookware.
The large lanai had a "wow" factor with an assortment of furniture along with a grille overlooking a pond with many native birds and turtles.
We will definitely stay here again.
