FULL DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the Laughing Pelican Pool Home!
Lovely pool home located in a quiet safe neighborhood in West Bradenton. This home has a private in-ground pool with outdoor seating which is the perfect spot to relax with a cool drink after a day at the beach. There is an outdoor grill for a BBQ by the pool on days you are not at the beach. The living room is spacious and newly decorated with seating that is perfect for watching shows or news on the large screen TV. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, wall-mounted TV, en-suite bathroom, and walk-in closet with ample space to unpack. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the third bedroom has two twin beds. There is a large open kitchen that is fully stocked with dishes, stemware, and basic appliances to enjoy meals made at home. The kitchen has a large eat-in bar-style area or choose to have meals on one of the two outside tables.
Feel like venturing out for a day? Only 7 minutes from state-of-the-art GT Bray Recreation center featuring a fitness center, group exercise classes, an Olympic-sized pool, kiddie pool and splash pad, teen center, skate park, clay tennis courts, pickleball, and a gym to play basketball and volleyball.
PLEASE NOTE- For extended stays of 60 days or more we require a mid-stay clean be done by our cleaners. A member of our team will reach out upon your booking to coordinate the fee and scheduling.
There is a Publix grocery store on Manatee Avenue that is 6 minutes away (1.2 miles) The Shoppes of Paradise Bay plaza is just 1.9 miles away ( 4 minutes) and offers grocery shopping, restaurants, a Starbucks coffee shop, and a Dollar Store. The Sarasota/Bradenton airport is a 20-minute drive (10.5 miles) south and downtown Sarasota and St Armands Circle is about a 30-minute drive south which is a great place to watch a sunset from a rooftop bar with causal and upscale dining and shopping. You do not need to go that far for dining options as Longboat Key, Bradenton Beach, and Anna Maria Island all have great places to eat and things to do by the beach. Do not forget a trip to downtown Bradenton which is on the Manatee River and also has bars, restaurants, and Village of the Arts. The Village of the Arts is an eclectic live-work community made up of colorful historic cottages that house everything from award-winning restaurants to specialty shops, studios, healing arts, bakeries, and Bradenton’s best art galleries.

The house was beautiful, lanai was neat, pool
Was clean refreshing and location was perfect. Highly recommend this property it was near the beaches, home was clean, beds were very comfortable. All things for the beach were there - wagon, rafts, umbrella, sand toys, everything you would need to spend the day at the beach. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back next year!

The interior of the home was beautifully decorated. Modern kitchen and appliances. I was disappointed with pool area. Patio furniture was outdated and rusty. Outdoor deck could use a pressure wash. Patio chairs were broken and could only use 2 of them.

This was a Christmas getaway to visit family. We wanted to be close to to Anna Maria Island and beaches with a friendly price point. The location was perfect you could easily drive to the beaches in 10 minutes. The house was very very clean with a beautiful kitchen and very well stocked. The master bedroom was large with a comfortable king bed. The 3rd bedroom with 2 twin beds was extremely small and the twin beds were not very comfortable for my 14 year old or sister in law. My suggestion if renting this home 3rd bedroom needs to be used for small children. There is a pull out king in the sunroom we would have used however the mattress needs to be replaced.
Overall we had an excellent stay, we would highly recommend this property. The pool is great, wish the weather would have been a little warmer but we still had a great time. The property management is very attentive to details and requests.

We were here for a soccer tournament at the IMG. House was 15 minutes from the facilities and had all we needed to relax and regenerate for the next day. Wish we had a longer stay to enjoy some sunshine at the pool!
Next time!

Decor, layout, pool and location were all great! Communication was great too. This is the ONLY place we have ever stayed with double sinks in each bathroom! Huge bonus for couples traveling together! Would definitely recommend!

I was supposed to have a couple friends fly in from out of state but one of them came down with Covid so it was just myself staying there. But it was so relaxing!

The pictures accurately portray the home! We enjoyed our stay and the proximity to all of the beaches. All communications with the rental company exceeded my expectations. They responded to any issues/questions that we had immediately. We very much enjoyed the fact that the home had great beach chairs and a cooler for us to use. We would definitely stay at this home again!
4.0
The location was great for us, easy access to a variety of destinations. The pool area needs to be power washed. The pool itself is a nice size, lots of seating areas. Only the main bedroom has as tv, the other two do not. This may or may not be an issue for some. A few things as far as the cleanliness of the home. The dishes in the cupboard were dirty, pots and pans had dried eggs leftover. The bathroom shower had long hair on the shower walls. There were spots in random places on the walls that need to be wiped down, looked like handprints and whatnot. Everything was normal use, however, if you're paying for a professional cleaning service, you may want to know. Tons of beach chairs in the garage, very helpful.

We went to Florida for the month of February and the home was perfect for the long stay and for having our adult children visit. As others have said, the home is as described but the kitchen was nicer in person. The pool and pool area was a big hit. Being that is was February, we heated the pool which was necessary to fully enjoy it. The location was excellent and made it easy to get to places without having to take the very crowded Manatee or Cortez roads too often. We went to several beaches on Anna Maria Island which were very easy to get to. I would highly recommend this property.

Clean and convenient! Grocery stores and restaurants were so close. The home is in a well kept established neighborhood. The sunroom and large patio made for extra space. Great layout. Lovely updates. Very close to the island/beach life. We were there for a lacrosse tournament at IMG. Too close for us to use the pool but it is very nice. 4 adults and two teens stayed there and we had plenty of room. Nice bathrooms. Expect to wash bath towels. Only one set per guest issued but they are very nice. Owner left a great comprehensive book of things to do.

We recently stayed two weeks at this home. It had a modern beach feel to it. The house was very well stocked with what you need in the kitchen to make some meals at home. There were plenty beach/pool towels/toys/chairs. The beds were extremely comfortable, as was all of the other seating both inside and out. The extra refrigerator/freezer in the garage was a plus. The air conditioned porch is extremely nice to enjoy when you don't want to be outside, but still want to enjoy the outside feel. The management staff was polite, friendly, accommodating. The house was exactly as pictured in the listing, possibly even better. Plenty of stores/fast food/ restaurants nearby. The beach is just a 12 minute drive. No complaints at all. We will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful property
Property beautiful, pictures or spot on. My family and I had a very good time, been a property owner myself, they did a fantastic job. And would recommend this property to friends and family. My only complaint was the pool was not as clean as it should be. I don't put any blame on the property owners. But believe Property Management keep a close eye on it. Besides that property was great had a good time

Beautiful Home for Vacation
We absolutely loved our time here for our family vacation. The house was exactly as pictured. Every room was extremely clean with all of the amenities you could possibly need. Our children loved all of the pool toys, board games, and beach toys available. The beach wagon was amazing to use on our daily trips to the beach. Check in and out were smooth and easy with help always available if needed. The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. This home has everything you need for a wonderful vacation and stay.

Great family property in a fabulous location
Great house and great location!!! We had seven total people in the house (3 adults and 4 children) and had plenty of room. The location was great as it was halfway between our kids hockey camp in Ellenton and the gorgeous beaches (truly spectacular beaches) of Bradenton. The kids really enjoyed the pool and enclosed patio area. The whole house is updated and super clean. A bonus to have a washer and dryer in the garage!! Quiet neighborhood with a grocery store less than a mile away. The beaches were 15-35 minutes away based on traffic.
The owner left a book with descriptions of the beaches and places to eat which was very helpful. The management sent us all the information for an easy check in and were easy to contact if anything was needed. The owner of the property even contacted when she found I had left my books and I greatly appreciated that!!!
Highly recommend this place if you want a clean, updated house in a great location!

The house is beautiful and very spacious.
I loved the house. So nice and very comfortable. I mostly loved the outside porch being closed in with an AC, my girls spend the e entire time there. Perfect price, perfect area...very close to the beach also not far from downtown Sarasota. My 4th time in that area and it has become an annual thing for my family. Definitely would book again.

Adorable place
It was clean and so cute. Everything was great and they had everything we needed to be able to cook while there. The pool heater was on and wasn't supposed to be and the pool was like bath water because of it but they sent someone out to get it cut off. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice house in quiet neighborhood, good location!
The sun room worked quite well, as several of us needed a place to sit with our laptops to work periodically. I would suggest offering to heat the pool for your guests, as many rentals do as part of the deal. Also, having sheets that fit the bed in the master would be a good idea. Finally, while I understand not guaranteeing occupancy until 4pm, renters need to realize that people will arrive at various times, and asking just to store our luggage in the garage so we can have room to pick up others at the airport is not an unreasonable request. Overall though, the house was nice and worked out quite well. I would recommend it to others.
5.0
Very pleasant stay
We were hesitant to rent a new listing with no reviews but glad we did. Nicely updated and equipped spacious home. Relaxing days on floaties in the heated pool (maybe too heated by the 3rd day with no way to adjust the temp ourselves). Comfortable bed. Convenient to shopping and restaurants. Parking in the garage was nice too.
