Great house with room for all. Pool was a pleasant place to relax and enjoy time with family. Close to great beaches & awesome restaurants.

My family and I had a lovely trip. The house was great, the backyard is really what makes it. You are close to everything especially Anna Maria Island, only about 20-25 minutes away. If you feel like staying in, the pool and hot tub are a great way to spend your trip. I brought my dog along who had suddenly been diagnosed with cancer two days before our trip. Unfortunately, the day we got there we had to make the decision to let him go. Thankfully, there was an emergency vet 1 minute from the house right on the corner that was extremely compassionate. While the situation wasn’t ideal, it was very helpful to have the vet so close. We made the best of the trip, and would definitely stay at the Barefoot Bungalow again!

The outdoor area is perfect and the house was clean and beautiful. However, the gorgeous kitchen was horribly equipped making cooking very challenging/frustrating. Something that could be easily fixed. Our only other surprise was that the game room is not part of the main house (it is in a detached garage). Looking back at the property details, we can see how it could be interpreted different ways. We were planning on the extra space for at least 1 of our grown children to sleep and that was not possible. We made due and had a great time overall.

House was lovely, the owner really thinks about entertaining all ages, my little son loved the tree in front of the house and the swing, my teen loved the amenities in the garage. The property is clean and well maintained

Wonderful stay! Owner was very communicative. Lots of amenities to use like towels, laundry stuff, iron and things. Couldn’t figure out light switches since there are so many or how to turn on lights in pool or backyard. Fan in the bunk bed room made a loud noise when on and can get hot in there. There is a 10pm quiet, which is understandable but very strict even on a weekend. Hard to have a large group hanging out in backyard after 10. Great location with many things near by for groceries and things! Great stay overall.

We made a special trip to Bradenton to see the Bishop Museum and Planetarium. Staying at Barefoot Bungalow was very convenient and enjoyable. The house was very nice and the backyard was beautiful and relaxing!

Thanks. We really enjoyed our stay

This home offers a very comfortable stay in a location that's convenient to downtown Bradenton, the Riverwalk and Anna Maria Island. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the inside of the home. The outdoor space wasn't quite as pictured on the listing, but that was mostly rectified toward the end of our stay when a landscape maintenance company came out and did a great job with trimming and cleaning up the overgrown landscaping. We would have loved having it this way for the entire stay! The pool & spa are very nice, though I would say the photos on the listing don't accurately capture the current condition of the outdoor furniture. The wood chairs aren't very comfortable, and were very difficult for our parents (who are in their 70s) to sit on. We ended up ordering a couple of lounge chairs online and having them shipped through Amazon. On the inside of the home, there were several issues that needed attention (kitchen faucet needed repair, 2nd bath showerhead wasn't working, blender didn't work, pots & pans were in poor condition). Every single issue was addressed immediately by the owner/manager. Theresa was even so kind as to immediately ship us new cookware. All necessary repairs were taken care of, leading to a very comfortable stay. Definitely 5 stars for communication and responsiveness. Very, very comfortable beds and linens, which is always at the top of our list. The neighborhood is nice.. just a few blocks from the Manatee River. We enjoyed that there's a neighborhood park only a block away. This is a fabulous place to walk dogs, and we always felt very safe in this neighborhood. Other positives of this property are that you have extra refrigerator and freezer space in the game room area, fka the garage. You don't realize how important this is until you stay in a rental that only has one fridge! Another big plus here is that we literally didn't see ONE insect, spider, or any other creepy crawlies inside this home during our entire 6 week stay! Just a few things prevented us from giving this home a 5 star rating. As other reviews mentioned, the inside of the dishwasher had quite a bit of mold. We cleaned it at the beginning of our stay (took only about 10 minutes and some elbow grease to get rid of the mold), but I can see how it will continue to be a problem until it's replaced, as it remains full of water at the end of the cycle. Overall, very pleased with our stay and would definitely love to stay here again in the future!

small famliy fun nice clean we love the hammacks.

We live over in New Port Richey, FL so we wanted a vacation away with grown children and grand children. It was great for swimming, playing games, barbecue and beautiful beaches not far away.

The house was beautiful and looked just like the pictures! We did encounter some problems such as the hot tub not working for most of the trip, the pool was low on salt and was giving an error on the panel, the grill was out of propane and we were told we needed to refill it ourselves, and the dishwasher was completely filled with mold which we didn't realize until we had been eating on the dishes for 2 days. Again, I was just asked to run the cleaning cycle myself. We had a great trip because we made it great and the house really was beautiful, but I was disappointed with some of the amenities we had been looking forward to, especially since it wasn't very hot out our first 2 days and wanted the hot tub.

Very functional for 3 families with kids. Loved the pool and the space! Great rental, and great management.

Really enjoyed the pool!

Risa was a great host and did a great job at communicating with us every step of the way. Any questions that we had she got back to us promptly and was very respectful of our time and experience there.

We enjoyed our stay. Close to stores and beaches.
