Shorewalk Vacation Villas

We stayed here over Christmas and really enjoyed our stay, he didnt get off to the greatest start they allowed us to check in a bit earlier, however the unit was not cleaned very well, and the air conditioning was broken and set on 68 which we couldnt change,so we were very cold. The staff were great and sorted out our issues in 24 hours, after that we really enjoyed our stay. 15 -20 mins drive to lovely beaches of Anna Marie Island, walking distance to supermarket (Aldi & Publix) and also places to eat 30 mins to the outlets. The Complex had a lovely clubhouse & 2 pools. The condo was really spacious and everything you could want for your stay. We stayed over the xmas period and alot of owners were holidaying, and we were invited to a few parties which was really nice. We also spent Xmas day on Anna Marie Island beach and that was wonderful, most people dressed up. We would definately return, despite our initial problems staff were all great. Read less

Well sorry for the rant but it all started with semi clean rooms and 1/4 of a roll of toilet paper! The pillows had other persons hair on them. Then we found hairs literally hanging off the toilet seat as if someone cleaned their hairbrush!  Not to mention the dirty hair brushes and other personal items left in the cubicles in the guest bedroom that I had to discard. The a/c never got cooler than 74 it was miserable. Now moving on to the kitchen the fridge has black mold coming out of the ice dispenser on the door and wouldn't get cold enough to chill our drinks. I reserved the room for 8 people and was only given towels for 4 people so needless to say i added towels to my shopping list as i had to get garbage bags, dish soap snd toilet paper also because staff was gone and owners out of town so i was told when i called the first time. We rented a condo that promised a pool bar however there is NO POOL BAR AND NEVER HAD ONE! A large majority of out plans included this amenity. We also were told we would have 1 king ,2 double beds and a pullout couch. Guess what no pullout and when i called i was first told to just go buy a air matress and email the receipt. I refused do that so around 8pm someone left one at our door. Housekeeping never showed up again for nothing And there were no free toiletries as listed on hotels.com when I rented the facility! I'm very upset at this entire experience! Even the air fresheners were beyond old and needed to replace them. The carpet in the living room is filthy and there is a severe ant problem had to go get spray as our donuts got attacked by the ants! Lets not get started on the fact that my calls weren't returned For long periods of time and then when I called about all the other minor things I got no response whatsoever even when i called about most of this. I did not have time to waste worrying about this so i just handled it myself. Worst experience ever. Felt so bad for my friends sleeping on the floor @170.00 a night! Also there is an alarm on the fridge that continues to go off at random times. Sorry to complain so much but im just so upset about this experience. Again i should never have to put someone on the floor and should never have to go shop for something as common as towels and toilet paper.  Also your master bathroom door is broken you can't close it so anyone showering there can be seen by anyone who walks in the bedroom. Half the light bulbs in the light fixtures are blowed in the guest bathroom. At this point I'm requesting a refund as this entire experience has been a disaster. I have attached photos that show you the mold in the refrigerator also I wanted to show you the photos from hotels.com that show I rented a condo for a people with a pool bar with a pull out couch and none of those amenities were provided for me that I paid for.  And what I'm truly most upset about is I budgeted for a great weekend and I had to spend a good portion of my money to go out and buy towels so that everyone could bathe and not have to share towels and I had to go out and buy toilet paper and all the minor little things that should be provided like garbage bags and dish soap. And yes I did get a little irritated that your only answer was to put my guests on an air matches who does that when you promise Certain . Considering my guest recently had back surgery so we gave up our bed for them and I had to sleep on the air mattress a $170 a night Im really not happy about it.  I understand this is a rental and you probably don't see it very often but though cleaning staff needs to step up their game and there is a lot of repairs that need to be made to this condo minor things that could be done and none of this could have taken place.

I rented a two bedroom ground floor apartment from home away website. Apartment big and spacious, clean like home from home. Complex has two pools, clubhouse with pool table, activities on during day, tennis court. All apartments are surrounded by small lakes. Easy access to supermarkets, restaurants. Beautiful beaches Bradenton, Anna Maria island is a must see. Rod + reel restaurant in Anna Maria island is a must to watch the sunset. If you like shopping a visit to ellenton outlet shops is worth a trip. Read less

Very quiet place to stay, we loved it! If you're a woman ask for a hair dryer during check in! You need to leave a damage deposit of $200 on your credit card and $10 for each pool pases but it's only a hold until you check out. Location is great, close to Anna Maria Island and a lot of restaurants and stores. We were very happy with the apartment, it looked a lot better than in the pictures. We would stay here again!
