Comfortable Stay

This was a spacious and comfortable home, in a convenient location. We usually stay on the islands, but due to hurricanes, there weren’t many rentals. We decided to give Palma Sola a try. We were not disappointed. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The pool area was very attractive. We will seriously consider this option for next time we stay In a he area.

Family gathering

We celebrated Granddad's 80th birthday with the family, 9 altogether. Accomodations couldn't have been better. Patio and pool were wonderful to relax in. Location is close to beachs/gulf but in a quiet neighborhood with little traffic. Yard if fully fenced in so accomodated a dog with no issues. All the comforts and conveniences of home. Would definately book again.

Wonderful place to stay near Anna Maria Island and Bradenton area

My family had a wonderful time staying at Carol’s place during our family vacation! My parents were very comfortable staying in the downstairs master suite. My kids loved the heated pool to come back to relax in the evenings. It is in a very convenient location near DeSoto National Memorial Park, Robinson preserve, and a Publix grocery store. The house is in a quiet family friendly neighborhood and we are already planning our next trip to come again! Carol has thoughtfully planned everything that one might need.

Fantastic and actually relaxing for parents

The home was easily accessible from the airport and entry was exactly as described. Carol is responsive and always accessible. My children loved their bunk bed room and the living room. The house well clean and had so many cooking tools. Eating in was helpful with young kids and budgeting and healthier! We are already planning a return visit.

So Pleased! Beautiful house. Great customer service. Perfect location.

This was the first time our family booked a vacation rental. So thankful we got to work with someone like Carol. We loved our stay. Carol was extremely kind and very easy to communicate with, and the booking was trouble-free. The kitchen was better equipped than my own home. The listing was exactly as described and better. The owner provided everything we could possibly require for our stay at the house and our trips to the beach. Also, loved the welcome book with helpful tips and places to eat and visit. We felt very welcomed. Would highly recommend this wonderful stay.

Sunshine Getaway is Sensational

Carol is the Super Host of all Vacation Rental Hosts. She made sure our family reunion week was Incredible from the first time I contacted her about Sunshine Getaway. Our family had the best week in Bradenton in June in this beautiful well appointed home. It was an amazing house for little ones with toys, pool toys, crib, high chair even a potty chair. Our family with a wide range of ages all loved everything about Sunshine Getaway and felt right at home. We especially enjoyed the lovely swimming pool with full cage enclosure. The pool was sparkling clean and ready for fun the minute we arrived. The covered seating area, propane grill, hammock and ping pong table made it our favorite place to gather and enjoy out time together as a family. We spent hours everyday in this beautiful oasis. The kitchen and family room had everything we needed to enjoy family meals together. The beds were very comfortable and every room was well appointed with beautiful furnishings, pillows, blankets ect. She even had two air mattresses that were top quality and very comfortable. Great water pressure in all of the showers. The 3.5 bathrooms are all really beautiful with lots of extras. The garage has so many extras in it for us to enjoy the beach and a basketball game that was a lot of fun. Air conditioning worked perfectly. We loved the large parking area for our 3 vans and beautiful front porch and yard. We all enjoyed the massage chair and all of the beautiful artwork, televisions, and lighting inside and outside. Carol guided us to the best beaches, we loved Coquina Beach and the plentiful parking and amenities. In summary Sunshine Getaway is a great vacation home in a great location. Carol is a Super Host, helpful, kind, very responsive and she was determined to make our vacation perfect. Which it was! The 10 adults in our family highly recommend Sunshine Getaway and our Host Carol. We would love to return soon to this lovely vacation home.

Beautiful home

Four families stayed together in this beautiful home for 4 days. We had a lovely time. The house is toddler friendly for the most part. The patio and pool were screened in. The kitchen was well stocked and labeled. The host was readily available for questions and immediately took care of any issues that we had. She gave us suggestions on where to go that were on point with what we were look for. I would highly recommend staying here if you were planning to visit Anna Maria Island/ Tampa

Best Host I Have Ever Had

We had an amazing time in Bradenton! Carol, our host was so communicative every step of the way. She was very accommodating to our various requests including when we needed to add a day at the last minute. The house it self was just as described and filled with tons of amenities. We really appreciated they provided beach gear and pool toys. Lots of towels! We loved that they actually provided some little things like hand/dish soap and a good amount of toilet paper(we have stayed at plenty of rentals that don’t do this). We stayed with a another family for 4 adults and 4 kids total and it was great set up for that with the two primary bedrooms. We will definitely rent this one again!

Perfect house for multiple families!

Us and two other families just stayed at Carol’s house and it was great! Plenty of room for everyone and the kids loved sharing the bunk bed room. The best part was definitely the pool area. The kids swam in the heated pool everyday while we enjoyed sitting in the covered area. Drive to the closest beaches was about 15 mins or so.

About the host

Hosted by Carol G

Host profile image
Thank you for taking the time to get to know a bit about me and my family! We are a family of 4 from the Midwest who love beach and tennis. We found Bradenton after our boys attended tennis camps at IMG. The laid back atmosphere and beautiful beaches brought us back year after year. We are excited to have the opportunity to host families visiting Anna Maria and Bradenton as this has been our #1 vacation spot for years.

Why they chose this property

We are located in a quiet, beautifully maintained neighborhood in Palma Sola (NW Bradenton), 6 miles from Anna Maria Island. Enjoy a nice morning stroll in the morning before the hustle and bustle of beach hopping. Publix is less than 5 minutes drive away along with multiple tasty restaurants on Manatee Ave. Visiting IMG? We are less than 15 minutes drive to the academy. Bradenton is a wonderful and ideal location for a beach family vacation with nature, wildlife, arts & culture all sprinkled in!
