The Grouper

Nice place, quiet neighborhood, enjoyed the screened patio. Would have been nice to have an instruction sheet on how to operate the tv, overhead fans, air conditioning, never did figure out the air, did get the fan in the living space working the fan in the bedroom the remote was missing a battery.

I would recommend this place to anyone! It was extremely clean and neat, and we had a lovely time here! The host was very responsive and kind too. Overall, this place was above my expectations and a great place to stay.

The place was clean, great location. They have everything you need in the place except for shampoo. Independent entrance, a cute patio for outside meals and quiet and enjoyable neighborhood.

Upon arrival, trash was left out and around, bed was not made and had dirty sheets, no toilet paper.

My stay was absolutely wonderful! The location is great, very convenient. The place itself is extremely comfortable, cozy, and it had everything we needed. The hosts were kind and attentive. It was truly worth every minute.

Like the specious living area. Laundry was convenient. But very noisy. Did not like that the code didnt work on the front door. They did not fix in the 6 days we were there. Great location. Beach isnt too far.

Comfortable bed and pleasant cottage overall. Enjoyed morning coffee in the screened room. Love that it’s so close to the beach! Mini-split in kitchen is dripping water badly. Turned it off before we left. Connected to wifi but no internet so not of any use for TV or phones. Too much light at night on the front of the house made it tough to sleep even with all the blinds closed. Thank you!

Clean and suited our stay for 2 nights.

Clean and spacious

We loved the location! Just a short walk across the street to the beach! Close the the Cortez bridge and marina for easy dining and getting off the Island easily! Very clean and outfitted with all we needed! Having beach chairs in good condition was a real plus! The courtyard is so well kept and we used the grill and ate outside! We had a great stay!!!!!

Extremely convenient location to island beaches and shops/restaurants. Was very cute and clean! Having a couple of nicer beach chairs would have been a bonus, but this accommodation was perfect for what we needed.

I had a lovely time at the Grouper. The house was easily marked The Grouper and easy parking! The apartment is as advertised. Perfect and beachy!!!All local places for food, eating out, clothing, are a short drive. The drive to Anna Maria Island is less than 3 minutes. I hope to visit again real soon. I want to stay here whenever possible.

Quiet, cozy place to stay of you want to be close restaurant's with good seafood and the beach which offers clear water. Highly recommend for a couples getaway. Thank you for having us as quest!

Perfect location…the host thought of everything!

Honestly, everything was so great about this property! Love the location! Everything was clean and neat and tidy!

If you don't mind being off the beaten path, this is an incredible find, just minutes from the island beaches. Neat, clean and nicely appointed efficiency apartment. Parking in front of your unit with a side patio with grill and equipped with TVs and comfortable bedding. It was our first time with VRBO and no hassle registration with clear instructions for entry made this a very enjoyable experience. We would definitely come back!

Clean place. Comfortable bed. Easy to access. Great experience. Only downside is that it took a lot longer to get on to Anna Maria Island than expected due to traffic, but the stay itself was great!

Clean, very cute, 5 minutes to the beach. Great stay! Will stay again

Everything was fine.

It was a nice area , parking secure and a cozy environment

Place was very clean upon arrival and newly renovated. Very close to island both by walking and driving.

Couple of issues when we first got there, but once the host found out about it, she resolved it very quickly and was very responsive. Great location this time of year the traffic to get on the beach was horrendous so you have to plan accordingly to beat the traffic overall great little place close to the beach beaches and for the price absolutely worth it! We hope to be back soon.

Good value for our stay in Bradenton!

We enjoyed our stay, close to shops and beach!

Place was great, the bed was very comfortable and we loved the new screened in porch.

Very nice, clean place

We had a great stay. Nice accommodations suitable for our needs. Clean. Modern. Close to Santa Maria Island and the beach! Found a couple of great restaurants close by. Loved the washer and dryer in the unit. Quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again! Reasonably priced.

Amenities, the couch needs to be replaced painful to sit on, the gas grill did not work, warm water never got hot, a pancake griddle is not a 2 burner hot plate. The place was very clean and the bed was comfortable, the outside area was a plus.

Perfect location to Anna Maria Island-real “old Florida” feel.

Very easy check-in, great location. It was very clean and much larger than we expected! The screened porch was very nice also! The only down was that the pullout couch was not comfortable at all. But everything else exceeded our expectations!

Short stay to see a friend that was in the area it was a great olace

The property was perfect for us. We visited familh over Christmas week and there is a great privacy backyard area and screened in sunroom. I had 2 dogs and it was great for them as well. There is a small beach area at the end of the block and Santa Maria Island is about 6 miles away. Great location and great food nearby

This was perfectly adorable. Well decorated, maintained & clean. Easy accommodations, great location. Cute little porch. Nice little touches.

Clean. Cozy. Beautiful flowers when you walk in. Easy to get to.

My husband and I stayed 5 nights and there is nothing bad I have to say. From the hospitality, to the location, to the prompt response of the owners was amazing. We were within 5 to 10 minutes from Cortez and coquina beach without the hustle and bustle of beach traffic and downtown. We were very impressed!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. So close to AMI

Clean and cute!

It was clean. No bugs or unsanitary conditions. Great WIFI connection, accessible parking, and clean linens. Owners were polite and responsive.

It was fine for the three days that I stayed but I thought the neighborhood was a bit run down. It would be nice if soap was provided in the shower area. The price was reasonable.

Clean and cozy place. Perfect for what we needed.

A beautiful little place to stay only minutes away from the beach! Very cozy and clean!

The hosts were responsive and the bed was very comfy.

Very cozy. Bed comfortable. Hosts were wonderful and accommodating. Good location close to beaches , shopping & food. Our dog enjoyed running in the side yard instead of on a leash.Communication was excellent would stay again.

Fully enjoyed our stay. Perfect for couples. Very clean. We brought our boat, at the end of our stay we found there is a boat launch in the neighborhood which is very convenient (you just have to call the number on the sign to use) overall we would stay again, and recommend to others.

Quiet and Convenient

Nice neighborhood and quiet! Very cute little bungalow.

This place was adorable. Everything we needed for one night. The bed was comfortable. We enjoyed hanging out on the screen porch.

It was perfect for us and the dogs. The doggies had a nice little enclosed yard to play in. Dave loved sitting in the enclosed patio for a smoke. We loved the cottage setup. The bed was so comfortable and the bedroom had everything we needed. The kitchen/living was a great setup too.

Clean and quiet. A perfect place to stay !

Very clean and nice place .

Property was very clean and just what we needed for a quick getaway to visit friends. Property owner was quick to respond and we had check in info a couple of days before. Very close to beaches, restaurants and the island.

Wish there were instructions for the fan/thermostats.

Very clean. Comfortable bed. Quiet neighborhood. Thank you.

Very adequate for our needs

Very nice and clean

Great little place to stay in a convenient location! Would definitely stay there again.

We had a great sty at the Grouper. It was clean, close to Anna Maia island and the beach. Very nice amenities. Comfortable, clean bed.We will return!NOTE: toaster doesn’t work and chair under the air conditioner got wet from the dripping a/c. We moved it when we realized it.

I was very pleased with the final results after unfortunately getting double booked . The host was able to get us in their other property. Even though we had to change all our plans. We still ended up having a very comfortable and relaxing time. And was able to check out a little later. Very pleased with how they handled everything!!

Clean and quiet

Great spot , close to beach and great dining places , very clean.One small improvement would be a 120volt outlet in the bath.

Clean, comfortable two room efficiency. Nice outdoor screened seating area, comfortable rooms with new split heat pumps and easy access to Cortez bridge to Anna Maria

Here for business. This was great. Thanks!

My partner and I stayed during a recent visit to see family/friends. The place is larger than expected with new appliances and split AC/HEAT elements and a nice little Keurig for those morning coffee drinkers. The neighborhood was quiet and located close both family in Bradenton and Anna Maria Island. Check in was quick and convenient. **Also the sink that most people seem to complain about worked just fine**A couple cups/dishes weren’t washed in the cabinet but wasn’t a problem. Dish soap and sponges were supplied. Other than that the place and bathroom were spotless.Thanks for a great stay

Great location.
