Beautiful home
The host and management team are the best i have ever seen since using verbo. I left my cologne and the did everything they could to get it back to me. They communicated almost every day.. but on the house itself it sits on a quite street everybody in the neighborhood is laid back. House is beautiful great fishing on the dock and great activities such as paddle boarding and kayaking. Really loved the vibe

Bradenton/Cortez house
The vents in the house needed cleaning badley, lots of dust and I have allergies. Their were multiple years in the pool screens letting mosquitoes into the enclosure and the house. The guest and myself had multiple bites. The house is on a canal which apparently drawing the mosquitoes to the area. I did enjoy the house in general, it was large and for the most part clean. I would not want to rent it again unless the owner had the area sprayed for the mosquitoes because a person could not be comfortable while constantly being bitten. The area was a good location for going to the beach, restaurants, shopping and such.

Great location in a quiet neighborhood! A few min drive to Anna Maria island beach and Bradenton beach. House was very clean and although the hurricane Ian had torn the screens around the pool we still enjoyed it during the day. Would recommend! Property managers were very helpful and responded quickly!

Good place for price
Beware if you have a low car the driveway has a big lip and one of our low cars wouldn’t make it in the driveway. The kitchen was dirty upon and there was no cleaning supplies. A used sponge and no dish soap was left. There were no extra garbage bags or toilet paper so we had to go out to the store to purchase these items. The master shower would not turn on and when we contacted the property owner we got no response. The rest of the house and bathrooms were clean and the pool was the best part of the house.

Could use some improvements
The pictures posted are likely from a photo staging as the home interior was much darker inside. The home is in need of some updating as there were two rooms where the light switches did not even turn on the ceiling light and fan. Additional fixtures were installed above them with chains and you had to turn a toggle switch in the corner by the bed to turn the lights on each time. The washing machine was functional, but dated. The extra room closet doors were all glass and one had a crack running through it but because they were not secured properly on their tracks we made sure not to slide them so as not to have them come unhinged more and break. The electric stove had uneven heating elements from different burners. I was not impressed with the outdoor pool area. It was a mess when we arrived. I had to clean up old bandaids, hair bands, some rusty screws on the ground, and parts of ripped up pool toys and goggles. The pool cleaner was still attached and didn't appear to be moving at all and there was no net accessible to get the surface debris from the pool. There were recliner chairs with rusted out bottoms on them that we did not use. The screen door was broken and the grill was very dirty (both on the grates and underneath them). There are broken screen panels both above the pool and along the bottom edges to let bugs and animals in. It is not safe to use the dock for kayaking because there is only a slime covered metal home ladder in the water to get in and out and the dock boards are in need of repairs. The dock appears to be old, broken, and unused for craft vehicles so we didn't trust that ladder that was put into the water. There was old pet waste in the backyard also. One of the master bathroom sinks didn't drain properly. Overall our party of seven made it work for the week and there were plenty of beds.

We made it work, but
The pictures of the property are not accurate. Is is a lot darker home. The biggest issue with the house is that it is suppose to sleep 10 and it does not. There were no bedding sets to sleep 10. It is a two bedroom home and the 3rd bedroom is not a bedroom. It has a closet and two twin beds. I do not consider the pull out a bed. Who wants to sleep on the floor without any bedding. That room also has a patio door without any coverings. Where is the privacy? There are no furniture in this 3rd bedroom - no tables/chests, etc... The couch that is suppose to sleep 2, when unfolded has hardware inside that frankly is unsafe plus no begging available. Just an extra pillow ( no pillow cases ) and a thin blanket. Do not let kids play on it unfolded as they may get hurt. House was clean but it is a bit on an old side. Overall we made it work, but it is not a house for 10.
