Barracuda

The back yard was a Tropical Paradise. Fantastic pool and landscaping. Great kitchen and huge TVs. Very close to beautiful beaches.

Amazing place clean close to the beach awesome

Best place

The house is like walking into the 50s as far as opulent resort villa cabin, Then walking into the private pool thats landscaped, meticulously backyard is huge but somehow cozy. With the house being pet friendly is perfect. My only complaint was the no-seeum (lil bity mean and hungry bugs) which the Host had no control would go back in a min without question

We loved our stay here! The inside has all you can need, but the gem of the property is the backyard. We loved the heated pool (so nice!), all the chairs, and outdoor seating. Our kids 16 and 18 loved the afternoons in the pool! It is a great location to get to Anna Maria Island and we did that each day, as well as enjoyed Cortez.

We had a great week. The reasons to stay here are the pool and proximity to SMI. The pool area is beautifully lanscaped, and a wonderful place to relax and take a dip in the clean heated water. The Cortez bridge is just a few minutes away and makes for a quick trip to the island. There are also some fun places in nearby Cortez too. The house is a bit of a patchwork of decor, not quite as pictured. But all the appliances are new, and the host has stocked it well and it has everything you need. We had a fun week.

Tried to communicate when the unit may be ready for a potential early check in, by emailing the host.I tried twice to inquire and received back a copy and paste reply 2 times, that guest were checking out the day we were to arrive and they would let us know when it was ready.The host never acknowledge my emails.We were waiting in the driveway around 3:00 (check in is 4:00 no cleaners present), one person we were traveling with called a number in the front yard, it was then that we were told the unit was ready.The unit served our purpose for one night, it was clean. If it was an extended stay, it could have been a little frustrating. The first of our group, upon entry, fell into the kitchen over a risen curb, we put something in the entry way as a warning.The unit has at least three other elevations throughout so you must be very cognizant of moving around inside.The pool is really nice.

This house was perfect for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. The backyard and pool was amazing. Very close to AMI and walking distance to Bradenton beach.

Super cute. Clean. Loved the backyard pool.

The backyard is fabulous. The home has plenty of room and the house is conveniently located to AMI.

The house was furnished extremely well and the pool in the back yard was beautiful! This is our second stay and will definitely be planning on another visit in the future.

Overall we enjoyed our 5 week stay at Barracuda, We loved the pool and backyard. The appliances seemed new and beds comfortable. This is an older home that has been renovated and rooms are smaller. The living room was pretty tight for 5 adults and the couch and chairs could be more comfortable. The neighborhood is still recovering from the Fall hurricanes and some homes and mobile homes are still in bad shape. Definitely need a car to get to beaches, restaurants and stores. Our host was very responsive to our requests.
