Reviewer Comments:
House was great, pool was a lot of fun.Only complaints was the bed in master, and pillows in twin room.The kitchen had everything you needed to cook meals.
We are 6 adults in our 60s and from PA. We found the house to be perfect for our needs while visiting Bradenton for some Spring Training baseball and fun. The outdoor pool and patio were perfect for relaxing in the sun and shade. We spent many hours there. The house looks just like the VRBO pictures and the listing is accurate. We really had no complaints at all. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We would happily stay there again should we decide to stay in Bradenton again.

We love this place. Great location close to beach. Everything close by . The house and private are clean and well stocked with all dishes needed. We have stayed in this house twice and intend to again.
We drove 18 hours to the house and the experience was worth the trip! About 15 min from the beach and never had a problem finding a parking space. Went to the beach from 11am to roughly 5pm ordered dinner on the way home and had a great dinner at the house every night and pool time after dinner. The house was in a nice neighborhood and very clean and neat. The master bedroom was a little hot, the air didn't seem to circulate very well in that room only, but that was the only gripe.

Second time we have stayed here. First time was with daughter and family.Everything was clean and in working order.Maybe new pillows in the main bedroom
We had great experience for our first time renting. The house was amazing and well equipped with every thing you could want. We were glad to have the pool.
Loved the house! It was perfect for 4 adults and one 6 year old. Each family had their own space. Furniture and beds were comfortable. The pool and outside area are wonderful. Very easy and close access to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved staying at sunshine dream. It was two of us and two dogs and the house was a perfect fit for that. We loved the neighborhood and its centralized in Bradenton so it was close to everything. The dog friendly house was huge to us since we travel with our pups, so we are grateful this was the perfect dog friendly house for us.
Nice home, 10 minutes to the beach. Pool was great, would have been nice if it was cleaned during our stay. We were there for 7 days with two dogs. House needs more kitchen utensils, hand soap, more then one garage bag and toilet paper. Need to read reviews, master mattress needs Replaced. A lot of reviews had asked for it. Would stay agin, just know what to pack.
My family stayed at this property in August. When we arrived, the small back yard around the pool was covered in dog feces. My husband had to spend 30 minutes cleaning up a large grocery bag full of poop. Having arrived with 3 dogs ourselves, I simply cannot understand how someone could relax in the pool area surrounded by poop, or how this was overlooked. Other than that, house and pool were great.
