First of all , the good. The apartment is conveniently situated; close to Bradenton shops, restaurants & to Anna Maria Island with its lovely beaches It is well equipped & clean.(Beware of tiny ants in the kitchen though!)

First of all , the good. The apartment is conveniently situated; close to Bradenton shops, restaurants & to Anna Maria Island with its lovely beaches It is well equipped & clean.(Beware of tiny ants in the kitchen though!) However, there are no instructions at all for the TVs, or any of the electrical equipment. The "office" was unhelpful, especially when we had problems. The issue is that many of the condos are privately owned (by French Canadians in the main). They rent out their properties to whoever they want This meant we had a different set of attached neighbours every few days with varying levels of noise. a group of young people with odd hours, loud music etc; insomniacs who watched Tv, loudly, all night long & the worst of all a couple who fought physically & verbally from 2.00am to 4.00am. In the end my husband went round & spoke to them...it was so awful. The next day after no sleep we went to the office to be told it was nothing to do with them, private owners let & if it happened again call the police! We left & stayed in a hotel . The leisure facilities are ok but run like a boot camp. You must have your pass with you at all times. There are only 2 bbqs which have to be booked. You can only book for half an hour, no dressing or marinade on what you cook. The person in charge takes your pass & only returns it when you have cleaned the bbq after your half an hour. It was a trial & we only did it once. One of the 2 hot tubs was out of commission over the New Year & when I asked when it would be repaired I was told that people had used it too much because of the cooler weather over the holiday season. We booked through BA & we have emailed them with our concerns. maybe if you book with one of the owners direct it would be a better experience & there would be someone you could refer to who would take responsibility for problems that might occur. We would never use the place again in spite of its convenience for where we wanted to be. Read less

Stayed with family for a soccer tournament in town. Pool/recreation staff exceptionally rude & accusatory, certainly out to get children who want to play in pool or tennis courts. Would not recommend for families of any kind with kids

Please note this is not a Family Friendly enviroment. They do not like children. The lady who works the pool area at night is beyond rude. She reminds me of the witch From Hansel and Gretel, praying on children of all ages. Please note rules only apply to families. Her buddy was at the pool two nights with not only food but her animal as well… Read more

Her buddy was at the pool two nights with not only food but her animal as well when the signs clearly state animals are not allowed! Again, the condo was lovely but the staff is absolutely horrible. Be advised this is not a family friendly environment, renters beware! Read less

Very clean, well furnished vacation rental at a reasonable price. Less than 7 miles from Anna Maria Island & the beaches. The only problem is there is no on-site management available after (maybe) 3:00 p.m. to assist with check in so you're on your own. If there are any problems, they have to wait until the next day.
