Golf Getaway

We were a bunch of retired guys who worked together and had 4 days of golfing in the Bradenton area.The property was very well equipped, especially in the kitchen. One of the guys loves to cook and he couldn’t believe how well it was equipped. He lacked for nothing.

Great Beach House

We were in town for a family Thanksgiving. This was the closest rental to our relatives and it was perfect. Great location. We needed four bedrooms and it was roomy for everyone. Very clean and well cared for, you can tell the landlords have real pride in ownership. Bikes and kayaks round out everything you could ask for near the water. Highly recommend this vacation home!

A place to stay

We just need a place to stay a few days to go to a family and friends get together to say goodbye to my brother. That having been said, it would be a great vacation house, and cheaper for 4 people than a hotel in the area.

Birthday Celebration

We had a great stay. Place as advertised. House very well equipped - abundant plates, glasses and various kitchen accessories including a nice outdoor grill allowed feeding our group a cinch, while bikes, kayaks and beach chairs were very much appreciated. Games and blocks were well used by the toddler in our group along with a visiting cousin. Our host Lauren was easy to communicate with, and patiently helped resolve an issue we had with VRBO. Thanks for a very enjoyable stay Lauren!

Hidden gem

I cant give this place 5 stars bc that would be a 100% house and we all know that unusual! But this place had everything! Tons of games, Tupperware, coffee pots etc they just about thought of everything and the huge living room wow thats nice! The tubs were a little outdated however that dont bug me at all also could have a little lighting out back on the patio however the neighbors house lights it up enough to see. Over all tho i would rent this little gem again!

College recruiting colleagues

The house had a great layout for the group of coed colleagues staying together. Plenty of space, rooms, furnishings. It had great amenities with laundry, and a closet full of games and access to bikes. Although we did not get to enjoy the property much because we were working a lot, it was a great experience and House. Highly recommend, Lauren was also willing to mail back a few things that my colleagues had left in their rooms which is never expected, but greatly appreciated!

Awesome property for big and littles

Communication with the property manager was excellent. She responded very quickly! We found the property exactly how described. We had littles (2 under the age of 3) traveling and her property was equipped to handle our young travelers (pack n play, high chair, dishes, cups, utensils). The property is well appointed with everything you would need for an extended stay (everything listed was provided) as well laundry detergent, dish washer detergent, trash bags). We loved the decor (especially the large lighted anchor which was useful for finding our way home in the evening). The house had plenty of space for our party to spread out and lots of space for the little ones to crawl and dance w/o fear of knocking into something. There were plenty of outdoor activities for older kids. We were very impressed with this rental and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again when staying in the area...We enjoyed our time here VERY much. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property with us!

A well appointed home

With five adults in one house, the concern is always that there everyone will be on top of one another. Not the case here! With several spaces for eating and gathering--both indoors and outdoors-- we had plenty of room. My sister enjoyed the solitude of the upstairs room away from noise. Unfortunately, we didn't have the time or weather to enjoy the endless options for entertainment but trust me, there is no chance of being bored. The kitchen was particularly well equipped as well. The host was responsive and helpful although we had no issues to contact her about, just logistics. Can't wait to go back in a warmer season!

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Brandt

Host profile image
Hi! I am Lauren, your host. I was born and raised in Bradenton, Florida. Bradenton is a wonderful town that has so much to offer. Our family enjoys exploring the outdoors, fishing, and traveling the United States.

Why they chose this property

We bought this home to raise our son in a beautiful, safe, and family friendly neighborhood. We love the quick and convenient access to the Manatee River, the occasional visit from a dolphin or manatee, and the views of the sunrise and sunset from the balcony.

What makes this property unique

The Anchor Estate is a beautiful home that is big enough for large families while still being affordable for small families. You and your family can enjoy the yard games, relax in the sun, or fish off the dock. There is something for everyone at our home!
