Tropical Oasis

Colin & Libby Northumberland, UK
Review Submitted: October 15, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Many thanks John and Lynne for the use of your wonderful house. You have provided every conceivable living item with a modern tropical twist. And it is perfectly prepared by Carolyn. We appreciated the extra luxuries such as wi-fi connection, multi-channel flat screen TVs in lounge and master bedroom! And of course the fantastic pool which maintained a bath-like 90F throughout. But the real deal is the quite oasis that guests can return to after a hectic day enjoying all that Florida can offer.

Owner's Response: Thanks to Colin and Libby for your comments. Yes, we have furnished the house to reflect the modern Florida living and with comfort in mind especially after exploring the attractions of Bradenton and its island beaches. Carolyn, our on site manager, does a great job in ensuring our house is maintained to a very high standard.

Review Submitted: October 9, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
Wow!! Just got back from the best two weeks of relaxtion ever. what a great house.

Have been to Bradenton before but this was much better. relaxing by the pool 20 mins drive to Anna Maria Island, Fishing on the Rod and Reel pier , and watching dolphin's. We were lucky to see a Manatee swim past as well.

Standard of the House was exceptional. No complaints. Impressed that the owners call on the first day to check everything is ok. Welcome pack was just what we needed on arrival after a nine hour flight.

Only one problem dont really want to tell you how good it was, in case the next time we want to book it someone else will have snapped it up

Perfect

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review.
Although we are confident that the house will be clean and well presented, thanks to our property manager Carolyn, we do also like to make contact with our guests after their arrival, just to make sure they have found all they require and to answer any questions they may have. The welcome pack always seems to be a popular added bonus!
We are really glad you had a great holiday and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

We spent one week in august 2009 and we thank Lynne and John for the quality of the rental and their sense of the service. The house is really well organise and decorated in good taste. The pool is really agreeable and the children had a lot of fun playing in it. The neighbourhood of the house is very quiet and the view on the lake, from the pool, is very nice with the possibility to see a variety of Florida birds.

Owner's Response: Thank you BernardC for taking the time to write your review of our house in Bradenton. We are very pleased that you and your family enjoyed your stay and took time out to view the wildlife from the pool deck.
Thanks, John & Lynne

Excellent Villa

Review Submitted: July 7, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Thanks John & Lynne for the use of your villa.

Without a doubt it is a lovely place with all the amenities you could wish for in a holiday home. Obviously you have put a lot of thought into the place and with its central location for great beaches, countless restaurants and never ending shopping opportunities there is not much more that can be done to make a holiday enjoyable.

As return visitors we found an excellent restaurant only 5 minutes away from the villa - The Lazy Lobster (info in the guest book). Really an excellent meal and service - would recommend to anyone.

Rent this place, you won't be disappointed!

Owner's Response: Thank you Heather and Malcolm for taking the time to write a review and it was great to welcome you back this year.
We have tried to think of everything to make this a "home from home" place to stay and decorated it with "fun" in mind!
A previous guest also recommended the Lazy Lobster and because it's so close to the house it's certainly worth a visit.
looking forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Little bit of paradise

Review Submitted: July 6, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We spent 3 weeks int his beautiful house in April/May and had a fantastic holiday. The house is beautifully furnished and we felt so relaxed in it, it was just like coming home to our own house each day. You have thought of everything John & Lynne to make a holiday complete. The villa is in a great situation for beaches, Malls, restaurants or whatever else you may want to do. The pool was fantastic and the views over the lake superb, especially at sunset. We will definately be coming back. Thanks again John & Lynne for the use of your beautiful home.

Nothing but Fabulous

Review Submitted: June 25, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We came on business and didn't expect anytime to relax but as soon as you walk into this property you cannot help but feel instantly chilled. The accommodation itself is outstanding and I couldn't have asked for anything more. The neighborhood is very pleasant and getting around the area was so easy.

The directions and lists of places to go was more than helpful. Whilst staying at the villa we did eat out most nights however the kitchen is equipped to a high standard. We would recommend Bonefish Grill and definately the beach house for our top places to dine out.

We took a drive over to Disney which was simply unforgettable and on our way back we stopped off at the Millenia Malls which were amazing for any girl who loves to shop.

We couldn't have asked for anything more, this place is simply perfect!!!

Many Thanks John and Lynne

Beautiful Home, Great Location, Wonderful Holiday.

Review Submitted: April 24, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We have just spent a couple of weeks at your villa for my parents' 60th Birthdays and I cannot thank you both enough for the warm, welcoming home from home that you and your villa gave us. We had the most fantastic time, the villa was even better than the pictures show; thoroughly clean, spacious, everything required we found with ease and tastefully decorated to a high standard. Carolyn was very helpful with advice on the first day then left us to it, which we appreciated.

The location was ideal and we found everything we needed from beaches, restaurants and shopping all within very easy reach. Your helpfulness and thoughtfulness made this a very special trip for us all and we do hope to return (we will definitely be booking your villa if we do).

Many thanks again John and Lynne.

Kind Regards, Susan.

Owner's Response: Thanks SuzeeO for taking time out to write your review.
We furnished the house to our own exacting standards not only to give it a bit of wow! factor, but also to provide homely comforts. Our manager, Carolyn, is particularly diligent in ensuring the house is maintained and tends to our guests needs when called upon to do so.
We enjoy going the extra mile to ensure our guests have a wonderful time, especially if a special occasion is being celebrated.
We also consider the house to be ideally situated to enjoy all things Floridian which are within easy reach.
Look forward to perhaps welcoming you all again in the future.

Winter golfers

4Golfers Nottingham
Review Submitted: March 11, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We came on holiday to Florida to play golf, chose Bradenton as the location, and chose this house to stay in for 12 nights. On arrival we found the house to be slightly overwhelming, immaculately cleaned, a welcome pack in the fridge, fabulous pool, huge king size bed in the master bedroom; everything just how we could have imagined it to be like.
The owners have given a lot of attention to detail in getting this house to a wonderful standard. They even gave us a call from the UK to ensure we had 'found everything we needed'. The properety manager also dropped by to ensure all was well.
Bradenton itself had lots to offer; the golf, beaches, watersports, food, beer.... ; the list goes on. If you are looking a place to stay in the Bradenton/Sarasota area I would recommend this house to anyone. After all, what more could you want after slogging it out on the golf course to come back 'home', a spot of fishing on the lake, or even an afternoon power nap to get you ready for the evening. Truely brilliant time and will be going back next year.
Thanks Lynne and John for the use of your beautiful house.

Owner's Response: We strive to keep our house in an immaculate condition. In addition to having a very diligent manager (who lives around the corner) we visit the property at least 3 times a year to ensure our high standard is maintained.
We're sure that anyone who rents our house will have just as wonderful a time as the 'Golfers4' whether it be golfing, beach visiting, sight seeing, shopping or generally chilling-out.
