ChelseaFive of us visited from Tampa for a relaxing girls' weekend away -- it was perfect! The house was well stocked and every room was comfortable. We walked to dinner and to the Gulf Island ferry for an AMI day trip, then enjoyed the yard, swam, did some putting and sat around the fire pit. 10/10 weekend!

NamWe had a wonderful five-night stay at this lovely property. The house was immaculate—sparkling clean, tastefully decorated, and truly felt like our home away from home. The ambiance was both welcoming and peaceful, making it the perfect base for relaxation.What stood out most was the host’s exceptional hospitality. Whenever we needed anything—no matter how small—they were responsive, thoughtful, and eager to help. That level of care went a long way in making our stay effortless and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-kept place with exceptional hospitality!

SierraWe absolutely loved our stay at this home! It was perfect for our family of 11, spacious, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly well-stocked. Luxury touches, such as the high-end grill and refrigerated drink drawers, added that extra wow factor.The swim spa was a standout feature. We spent countless, joyful hours there, and it quickly became the highlight of our trip. Every bed in the home was comfortable, ensuring restful, peaceful nights for all.The location couldn’t have been better. We were within walking distance of parks, bars, and restaurants. One of our favorite dining spots was Pier 22, a beautiful waterfront restaurant right on the Manatee River.For beach lovers, Manatee Beach on Anna Maria Island was just a 15–20 minute drive away, depending on traffic. We visited several times to swim in the crystal-clear Gulf waters and catch one of the most breathtaking sunsets we’ve ever seen. We even had the magical experience of spotting manatees swimming by—truly unforgettable!

KathleenThere was a family of 7 and we had an abundance of space. Each bedroom having a designated bathroom was excellent. We walked to close by restaurants and enjoyed the river view along the river front. We rented e bikes from a local company that we really enjoyed. Highly recommend. Beautiful home.

CherylMy family was in FL for my elopement. This home was perfect for our party of 12! Plenty of room without being on top of each other. Kids loved the spa pool. I LOVED the view running along the pier every morning. I looked forward to the sunrise and seeing some dolphins. We also walked to a couple of great restaurants and ice cream shops. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. The location was perfect for our needs being close to Anna Marie island and St. Pete. I would definitely stay here again. The only tiny item would suggest would be adding a Keurig coffee maker in addition to the coffee pot for convenience.

KristiThis home is beautiful, and was perfect for our big family. The porch is so welcoming. We really loved sitting out front and being together.We had a large crew and the number of beautiful bedrooms and full bathrooms ensured everyone had privacy.The area is so fun - walking distance to a riverwalk that offers so much to do, from biking to exercise area, sand volleyball and a park. Plus, we saw so many dolphins. Great restaurants and cute shops. Everyone loved the coffee spot around the corner too. So charming!We were able to cook great dinners and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed.It really was a perfect spot for our crew. Added bonus that we had family rent another one of Randy's rentals right next door so we could bounce back and forth.Randy was so responsive and thoughtful. Every detail was accounted for as we traveled from PA for a long weekend.Hoping to be able to get back for another stay.

BryanThank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely place. It not only lived up to the expectations and photos but surpassed them. The layout was wonderful, and the furniture and bedding were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the backyard provided a great place for activities or relaxation. Our family ranged from 3 to 78 and we would all stay here again in a heart beat. Randy was very responsive anytime we reached out during the process. If you’re considering this home, just book it, you won’t be disappointed.

ChristineMy family absolutely loved the Betts House and the quiet neighborhood adjacent to the Manatee River where it is nestled! The home was so beautiful inside and out and very nicely decorated. We especially loved that all the rooms in the home were so spacious, creating many options for areas to sit and read a book or socially gather with a small group. And the amazing wraparound front porch and additional side yard sprinkled with a sauna, fire pit and putting green were a bonus!! The 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms were beautiful and spacious as well. All the beds were extremely comfortable and the bathrooms with the updated fixtures were outstanding. Additionally, there is a riverwalk and an historic main street aligned with wonderful restaurants, bars and boutique shops to frequent within walking distance so that you never need to move your car. We highly recommend this amazing home and plan on staying here again the next time we are visiting Bradenton…. it will not disappoint!!

TimmyThe property was pristine. Updated recently - with no corners cut. They have thought about all provisions and convenience a traveler would - and provided it all.

Thanks, Randy!

Kelli Or A.The Betts House is fabulous! From the amazing backyard to the fully stocked kitchen and the extra special touch of the throw blankets on the couches and in each bedroom (it was quite chilly during our stay) this home was so warm and welcoming.

TerraRandy was the most responsive host that I have ever had. I had multiple questions for him (sorry, Randy!) and he replied almost immediately every time. His home is beautiful, comfortable, spacious and in a great neighborhood. The spa is the cherry on top, and our 5 teenage girls spent hours in it every evening. Thank you, Randy! We would love to book in the future!

MicheleRandy’s house in Bradenton is beautiful. It was perfect for our family wedding week. Getting into the house was problematic until Randy solved the problem which took til late in the evening since we were to meet family in St Pete that night. A hurricane 2 weeks prior left the house with no wifi which we did not know til we arrived. We were told to bring in a delivery of a new wifi box and connect it ourselves. After reading that you needed to download an app, I contacted Randy and he said he couldn’t be there until the next day which was the day of our daughter’s wedding with all of us getting ready. He tried again to offer to connect it a couple days later but by that time most of our family was leaving. We had way too many conversations about that. We were also asked to take the people who stayed there before us trash out. Which was a first for us. The house was perfect but there were too many issues that we have ever had to deal with at a vacation rental.

DebraGreat home and location! Home was as described and had plenty of space for our four families that came together for a soccer tournament. Loved the various sitting areas, common areas and outdoor spaces. Walking distance to great restaurants, highly recommend Pier 22 and Oak & Stone rooftop. Riverwalk trail was a great start to our day. Items or needs brought up to the property manager were rectified or addressed almost immediately along with great communication. Will definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises! Thanks for sharing your home.
