The condo was spacious and in a great location. Not super clear on the listing, so just a note that it is on the second floor so you need to go 2 flights of stairs. The pools were heated and nice. Nicely located to spend time in Bradenton, Anna Maria, or even Siesta Key.
My daughter and I had a wonderful stay here for her soccer team tournament at IMG. Property was clean, adequately stocked with kitchen items including a few pantry items (ie salt, pepper), and communication was excellent with owner and local contact. Owner graciously let us have a late check out so we could get cleaned up before our evening flight home. Restaurants and grocery store nearby. Closet full of beach items (ie chairs, umbrella, sand toys) much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!
The owner was very responsive and accommodating. We had everything we needed and if we didnât, there were stores close by. We loved Detwilerâs Market! They had chairs and extra items for the beach, if needed. The condo was clean and had extra pillows and blankets too! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again! Great place and just down the street from IMG.
Nice unit that met all our needs. Very clean and convenient to Anna Marie Island as well as grocery stores, Walmart and a variety of restaurants close by. Would highly recommend this unit. It was great to have the laundry in the unit as well.
Once again, we enjoyed our stay in Shorewalk. The location is ideal and we very much appreciate the 2 heated pools (wonderfully warm at 86degrees) and the 2 hot tubs (both worked most of time while we were there). There are very strict rules regarding use of the facilities, and we did have a few confrontations with one or more of the staff specifically regarding the kids âjumpingâ into the pools however, we, and our grand children, were able to enjoy ourselves, despite these unpleasant encounters. We will definitely keep Shorewalk in mind as we plan future vacations to Floridaâs West Coast.
Wonderful Stay at Donna's Apartment
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Donna Kirk's VRNB apartment and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The apartment was beautiful and well-maintained, and everything was clean and organized upon our arrival.
The location was also fantastic, with easy access to local attractions and amenities. Donna was a gracious and attentive host, providing us with clear directions on how to obtain the key and promptly responding to any questions we had during our stay.
Overall, I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in the area. Thank you, Donna, for making our stay such a memorable one!
Overall, my dad and I were very happy with our stay. I didnât pack my hair dryer because the amenities listed one as there but there was not one anywhere to be found in the condo. That resulted in wet hair when it was time to go out to dinner. Thankfully, it wasnât cold weather.
Also, the TV in the smaller bedroom wouldnât connect to anything â antenna, cable box, nothing. *A notebook or a paper of some kind explaining how to use the televisions in the master bedroom and living room would have been helpful as it took my Dad quite a while to figure out how it worked as itâs a different system than what he has at his place in Michigan.
But, the pool was lovely, the beds were comfortable, and the location was superb. Would consider renting again but would bring my hair dryer.
We had a good visit and enjoyed the use of the condo. The location is great and near stores and restaurants. The condo is clean and the mattresses in good condition. The closets had plenty of hangers and extra blankets / pillows and towels. Lots of drawers.
Suggestion to owner - As we used the kitchen a lot, it could use some changes to the pots and pans (scratched) knives (very dull), provide kitchen dish soap, new kitchen sponge, dishwasher pods, kitchen faucet leaks when closed in middle position, oven door handle quite loose! No soap dish in bathrooms, bar stools go down when we sit on them.
Overall we had a good stay. We would recommend the condo for a family!
Good rating, but a couple of pointers for the owner: It would have been nice to have basic kitchen spices (salt, pepper, sugar, etc.) and small soaps, shampoos, etc. supplied. We have used Vrbo in the past and these items were provided and appreciated. We had to go out to purchase them upon arrival this time. Also, there were no garbage bags. The vertical blinds, which I'm sure were very nice when new, were damaged prior to our stay and should have been repaired. The biggest disappointment that I want to bring up is that in the listing for the condo, it stated that there was a tv in both bedrooms. Upon arrival, we found that the guest bedroom tv was not hooked up to cable and was, therefore, useless. A tv in the guest bedroom was important to us and we chose this particular condo for this reason. It is misleading that the owner's description does not mention that the guest bedroom tv does not have cable.
The condo was well furnished and roomie enough. Beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the porch/lanai. Replaced a bulb over the stove...no big deal. Grounds are very nice: pools, pickle ball, library.
This was our first experience with Shorewalk and definitely will not be our last. We frequently played table tennis and Pickleball on site. At first we did not think we could find others to play Pickleball, so we joined G.T. Bray Recreation Center, a short 1.5 miles away. Thank goodness other couples or individuals chose to join us to become regulars during our four weeks. The pool is an outstanding 85 or 86 degree delight. Right around the corner is Publix. Our two favorite restaurants were Thai Palace and Tide Tables. The condo was a great size and nicely furnished. The kitchen was well stocked, however, I would recommend replacing a couple of the. larger coated pans due to scratches. Sometimes the internet would slow down or shut down, but the property manager suggested unplugging the router and rebooting it and that worked. The TVs in the bedrooms were not working. If a set box is set up it could be connected with an HDMI cable. The screened lanai was lovely. The vertical blinds were not my favorite window coverings, since some panels were missing. Next year we will visit the beach more frequently, but you need to be patient driving there due to traffic, depending on the time of the day. I heard that going in the morning is the best time in order to avoid traffic. An excellent vacation and reprieve from our NY cold winter!
Extremely clean, well equipped, and a well screened back porch. Kitchen had all the necessary tools to cook a quality meal! Donna is responsive and easy to communicate with.
The condo was very clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. The kitchen items were few and not much in cooking supplies. Also would suggest mattress pads and better quality sheets. The condo is located in an easy access to shopping. Like the heated pools, tennis court and the grills available. Would love to stay again! Craig and Paula
