Could Have Been Better

We recently stayed at this VRBO with another couple for 2 weeks. The experience did not meet our expectations.The property lacked written instructions for various amenities, which would have been helpful, especially with the TV and thermostat.Closet and drawer space was very limited, making it difficult to store clothes for a longer stay. We ended up keeping our clothes in our suitcases. Finally, there were some cleanliness issues that were concerning. Specifically, the bedroom fans were covered with a layer of dust, the bathroom fan needed to be cleaned, the floor of the bathroom tub was peeling, and several areas needed to be painted.

Ok

The inside was very clean and nice except there was very little hot water so it made it hard to shower. We tried to sleep in the master bedroom but the wood was completely rotted out and cold air was blowing in all night, also we didn't feel very safe because so many of the windows were rotten. We were forced to sleep on the hard twin beds.

A terrific stay!

My purpose was to attend a number of Pirates Spring Training games at both LeCom Park and Pirate City. This was the perfect housing placement as its close to both sites. It's also close to the downtown marina area, with two quality restaurants: Pier 22 and Oak & Stone. The property is well maintained with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an ample kitchen. Recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Simpson & Richele Charlton

Host profile image
We have been coming to Bradenton and Sarasota for thirty-plus years. A few years ago we decided to buy a place here. We looked at hundreds of houses, villas, condos and even a boat! Earlier this year we were in town to finalize an offer on a different property when we decided to check out this house - just for fun. Needless to say, that offer was withdrawn and we purchased Paradise.

Why they chose this property

Great look and feel. It is in a great location with little traffic, but easy access to anything we need. It's not a cookie-cutter house. It was built in 1925 but100% renovated and decorated last year. The outdoor space is great as are the neighbors and neighborhood. It was very important to be close to the beach, Anna Maria Island, Manatee Beach, Village of the Arts, Beach Market, Old Main Street as well as Cortez, Sarasota, St. Pete/Clearwater and Tampa.

What makes this property unique

Close to the beaches, without the on-beach expense. New beds! Great wi-fi net, Three Smart TV's, office spaces, room for 8. A great backyard with a cool deck, the Paradise Pavilion, and a fire pit. Very relaxing, open concept environment, with modern amenities located within a unique old house.
