This is our second time renting at this location. We absolutely love this house! The kids stayed in the pool all week. Very spacious and clean! Had a little mix up with the code but we got it fixed right away!! We had a wonderful vacation for Christmas! We will be renting here again!! Thank you for such a good time!
Close proximity to AMI very nice property we went to coquina beach every night very close.. Home was very clean and had nice pool 5 stars
Comfortable stay with a clean pool and a comfortable bed in the Master suite. The owners were easy to get a hold of and communicate with. A very short drive to beaches and restaurants and an even shorter drive to shopping centers. The closest we could get to being on the beach without bein gon the beach. We would recommend this home . Our only complaint was a stiff sliding door to the back patio. Otherwise thank you for a wonderful stay.
We had a great 3 night stay and enjoyed staying at the Shell House. We got there late the first night (flight delay), but the kids still jumped in the pool before heading off to bed. House is just over the bridge from Anna Maria Island and we had no issues with traffic during our stay, which we loved. We also ate at nearby Swordfish Grill and the Cortez Cafe, which were amazing, and parked at Coquina Beach two days in a row with no issue. House is comfortable and has everything you need. We'll definitely stay again if needed as it was less than 20 minutes from the airport, as well.
My family and I loved this property and would definitely stay there again.
We enjoyed our stay so much! The host did a wonderful job at preparing the home for us. We have a 3 and 7 year old, who lived in the pool. There were floats and toys there that they enjoyed. My 7year thought the coolest part was, being able to watch a movie outside while she was lounging in the pool. We spent most of our time out there. We did get bit up the first night, from the no-see-ums. After a little bug spray it was the most enjoyable time. The location was great. Close to the beach, stores, and restaurants. It was wonderful, and we would definitely stay again!
We really enjoyed our stay in Bradenton, FL! The Shell House was beautiful and comfortable. There were two large living areas as well as an outdoor seating area and tv. There was a fenced in area for our dog. The pool was wonderful. Everything was very clean. The house was only a couple of miles from the beaches on Anna Marie Island and several restaurants. The owners responded to all our needs. I would definitely stay there again.
The positives: Communication was OUTSTANDING!!! With every question or concern we had they were quick to answer. The home has a fantastic layout, the small table and chairs were perfect for our granbabies to eat their meals and snacks and having a tile floor made cleaning up after them very easy. Beds were comfy, AC kept us cool on the hot days. The pool was smaller in person than in pictures but was a perfect size. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again!!! Things that would've made our stay a bit more enjoyable: storage containers or saran wrap/foil for leftovers, a pancake flipper type spatula, labeling the Roku remotes-was tricky finding the right remote for the right tv. What bummed us out: the mural by the pool you see in pictures is no longer there. We were looking forward to photo opportunities. Restaurant to check out: Tide Tables is on the water just down the road towards the beach on the same side as the home before you cross the bridge and they have THE BEST Grouper Bites!!!
The one complaint we have is the back yard was not maintained well. Our dogs were in weeds and tall grass for most of our visit, really annoying pulling little stickers from plants out of their fur every time they had to potty. Other tan that, the neighborhood was nice to walk our dogs in early in the morning or late in the evening. Short drive to the beaches. Inside of house was very clean and beds were comfortable. The kitchen could use more cooking utensils and a larger frying pan. The owners were great to work with and responded quickly! Great place to stay for families or couples vacationing together!
The only issue was the traffic noise.
