Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Absolutely DARLING!
It is shabby chic deco and close to everything. Dead end street and friendly atmosphere. 100' across street to Gulf of Mexico. A great walk path. Restaurants within walking distance. FREE Monkey Bus to take u anywhere on island and even in town. Great shopping close by. I would DEFINATELY stay again. The only thing I would suggest is put a TV in bedroom for guests or kids who would sleep there. IT ROCKS period!

Perfect Beach House
We loved the quaint little duplex. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Tim was a dream to work with. The A/C one of the units went out while we were there, and he had someone there first thing to take care of it. We will definitely be looking to rent from Tim again in the future.

Best home away from home at the beach.
I spent a lot of time searching for a bungalow at the beach and my expectations were surpassed when I opened the door! The owners were thoughtful in design, layout and furnishings to provide a laid back experience at the beach. I wished I could have stayed forever - it was that nice. I especially enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen which included colorful dishes to match the colorful walls and great blue floor! Best of all - location - you can walk everywhere as you are right in the historic Bridge Street neighborhood.

We had a wonderful stay in the charming cottage.
My husband and I had a one week stay in February in this charming renovated cottage. The location was great--a one minute walk to the Gulf and two minute walk to bay and a 5 minute walk to Bridge Street where there are many shops and restaurants. The one bedroom cottage was tastefully decorated. The appliances were new and all the essentials were provided. The front porch provided many hours of sitting and relaxing. The owners were available for any questions or concerns. We would highly recommend this cottage.

Bradenton Beach Gem!
My husband and I stayed in the 1-bedroom unit of this cottage the last week of February 2013 and couldn't have been more pleased with it! In addition to being in a perfect location, it had everything that we could have hoped for and more--the interior has been renovated very nicely while keeping its unique coastal charm; so well put-together. We loved its amenities, especially having access to beach chairs, full laundry out back, a nicely equipped kitchen, the outdoor grill and very reliable Wi-Fi. More than enough room for 2 people to really spread out, too. We really appreciated having the cozy front porch and spent a fair bit of time there--the perfect spot for morning coffee or to curl up with a book. Bridge Street shops and restaurants are minutes walking distance and more importantly, the beach and the bay are both less than a minute walk away--you are almost right in the middle of both! You can catch sunrises from the community dock and beautiful Gulf sunsets at the beach--gorgeous! The beach itself is beautiful, sugar white sand and beautiful shells for collecting! Everyone on the street was very friendly, and it was very quiet, which we'd worried about considering the proximity to Gulf Drive--the week we visited, things got very quiet after dark. We also met some very lovely people in the immediate area, including the neighbours in the adjacent unit. Highly recommend a stay here if you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation and cozy accommodations, looking forward to our next Bradenton Beach holiday!

Clean and modern in great location
Entire house recently renovated with modern appliances, central a/C, flat screen TV, dependable Wifi, unique design touches, cheery environment. Delightful owners very responsive. Young neighbors threw loud party while we were there. No idea if this is common. Twin beds designed more for children.

A cozy, old fashioned Florida bungalow with a freshly modern int
I loved the front porch! If the weather had been a little warmer, I would have spent a lot more time there. The two bedrooms were a good size and the combination kitchen,dining room and front room gave a feeling of spaciousness. The windows on three sides of the apartment allow lots of light to enter and gives a positive atmosphere. One is only a few steps from the beach and the shops at Bradenton Beach. Although there is no swimming pool for real beach lovers this apartment is perfectly located. We loved our stay and will probably return again.

Breathe taking!!!
My husband and i drove all the way from jersey after two very long days, not really knowing what to expect, we arrived February 17, very excited but also nervous, as we put the key in the door and walked into our cottage, we were speechless, my husband was almost in tears, he could not believe how beautiful everything was and we were very impressed. We utilized our porch every day and night, the gulf and the bay were so close on each side of us. We were so impressed that we are inquiring about booking for next year. Tim was wonderful to deal with and answered all my questions.
