About the host: Thank you for taking the time to get to know a bit about me and my family! We are a family of 4 from the Midwest who love beach and tennis. We found Bradenton after our boys attended tennis camps at IMG. The laid back atmosphere and beautiful beaches brought us back year after year. We are excited to have the opportunity to host families visiting Anna Maria and Bradenton as this has been our #1 vacation spot for years.

Well stocked kitchen great veiws

Great location plenty of things to do and shopping for beach ware was excellent.Steps from the ocean any and all activities from paddle boards to electric bikes. There is even a free trolley that goes up and down Anna Marie island.The beach was clean and well groomed.There is great golf courses from professional to beginners.Our condo was so we’ll stocked it felt like we were at home.The bedrooms were clean and the beds were comfortable.Our condo had a washer and dryer that made life a easier.The furniture was real leather and comfortable.This condo was great for our family of four but could easily have at least six people.There was a nice pool but the beach is the place to be at.The condo faced so that you could see sunrise and sunset.Every morning we walked the beach and saw dolphins.The birds that we saw were amazing.The area is very safe for children to play on the beach.Our children were never bored because there was always something to do.By the time night fall came the kids were ready to fall asleep.

Sunshine Getaway is Sensational

Carol is the Super Host of all Vacation Rental Hosts. She made sure our family reunion week was Incredible from the first time I contacted her about Sunshine Getaway. Our family had the best week in Bradenton in June in this beautiful well appointed home. It was an amazing house for little ones with toys, pool toys, crib, high chair even a potty chair. Our family with a wide range of ages all loved everything about Sunshine Getaway and felt right at home. We especially enjoyed the lovely swimming pool with full cage enclosure. The pool was sparkling clean and ready for fun the minute we arrived. The covered seating area, propane grill, hammock and ping pong table made it our favorite place to gather and enjoy out time together as a family. We spent hours everyday in this beautiful oasis. The kitchen and family room had everything we needed to enjoy family meals together. The beds were very comfortable and every room was well appointed with beautiful furnishings, pillows, blankets ect. She even had two air mattresses that were top quality and very comfortable. Great water pressure in all of the showers. The 3.5 bathrooms are all really beautiful with lots of extras. The garage has so many extras in it for us to enjoy the beach and a basketball game that was a lot of fun. Air conditioning worked perfectly. We loved the large parking area for our 3 vans and beautiful front porch and yard. We all enjoyed the massage chair and all of the beautiful artwork, televisions, and lighting inside and outside. Carol guided us to the best beaches, we loved Coquina Beach and the plentiful parking and amenities. In summary Sunshine Getaway is a great vacation home in a great location. Carol is a Super Host, helpful, kind, very responsive and she was determined to make our vacation perfect. Which it was! The 10 adults in our family highly recommend Sunshine Getaway and our Host Carol. We would love to return soon to this lovely vacation home.

Fantastic and actually relaxing for parents

The home was easily accessible from the airport and entry was exactly as described. Carol is responsive and always accessible. My children loved their bunk bed room and the living room. The house well clean and had so many cooking tools. Eating in was helpful with young kids and budgeting and healthier! We are already planning a return visit.

So Pleased! Beautiful house. Great customer service. Perfect location.

This was the first time our family booked a vacation rental. So thankful we got to work with someone like Carol. We loved our stay. Carol was extremely kind and very easy to communicate with, and the booking was trouble-free. The kitchen was better equipped than my own home. The listing was exactly as described and better. The owner provided everything we could possibly require for our stay at the house and our trips to the beach. Also, loved the welcome book with helpful tips and places to eat and visit. We felt very welcomed. Would highly recommend this wonderful stay.

Wonderful place to stay near Anna Maria Island and Bradenton area

My family had a wonderful time staying at Carol’s place during our family vacation! My parents were very comfortable staying in the downstairs master suite. My kids loved the heated pool to come back to relax in the evenings. It is in a very convenient location near DeSoto National Memorial Park, Robinson preserve, and a Publix grocery store. The house is in a quiet family friendly neighborhood and we are already planning our next trip to come again! Carol has thoughtfully planned everything that one might need.

We had a great stay at Sunshine getaway in Bradenton.

This is our second stay at Sunshine getaway and it won't be our last. The property is up to date, clean and conveniently located near shopping and the beaches and restaurants of Anna Maria Island. Thank you Carol! You are the best hostess! See you next year!

Beautiful home

Four families stayed together in this beautiful home for 4 days. We had a lovely time. The house is toddler friendly for the most part. The patio and pool were screened in. The kitchen was well stocked and labeled. The host was readily available for questions and immediately took care of any issues that we had. She gave us suggestions on where to go that were on point with what we were look for. I would highly recommend staying here if you were planning to visit Anna Maria Island/ Tampa
