Vacation rentals with a kayak in Bradenton

We enjoyed our stay in Tampa at Chris’s home. House was exactly as described and in pictures. The pool and hot tub was a great addition. Chris was very responsive and accommodating. We enjoyed our short visits from Joseph the cat and friend .

Chris was a very responsive host. During our stay he spent a day working on his boat in the back. He was very friendly, but also respected our privacy. The house met all of our expectations and our kids loved the pool. The neighborhood was great to walk through and each house offered fantastic curb appeal. With 3 kids under the age of 6, the 10-12 minute walk to the beach was a little long, but Chris’ wagon and beach supplies helped! The golf cart would have been ideal, but without a place to park near the beach we didn’t have much use for it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the entire family agrees we’d love to go back. Thanks Chris!

What a Gorgeous and unique Airbnb. I loved the history behind the house and its tie to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It truly felt like a little piece of history. The view out the kitchen window alone was worth the stay. Most peaceful cup of coffee I’ve had in a long time. The beds were comfy, the decor was modern yet meaningful. We partook in the kids game selection. We truly enjoyed our stay. I look forward to our next visit. We even meet and chatted with Wylan on the day of our departure and honestly couldn’t have been a nicer more welcoming host. A big thank you again for opening your home to us!

House was clean with lots of things to do on property. Private area and relaxing. Accommodated my 10 guest.

Beautiful, well maintained and stocked property(toilet paper, trash bags etc)!! We enjoyed fishing off the dock as well as relaxing in the hot tub while the kids played in the pool! The beds were comfy home was clean and comfortable! Didn’t hear a complaint from anyone! We loved that the home was located walking distance to restaurants!

Super unique home, great location, close to everything, but also tucked away. The home had something for everyone, fishing, lots of space and very cool antiques. The home was very clean and inviting. Pete and Tammy were great, we look forward to visiting again. Thank you for everything!

What a great place for our stay in the Tampa area. Easy access to the airport, Ybor and other areas of town as well as to the interstate to get to other places in the region. The house was exactly what we needed, very clean and comfortable. The place had so many amenities we didn't even have a chance to try them all. We'll definitely be back our next time in Tampa.

Very nice place. Felt at home. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and to the bay.

Our stay was great. Having the Golf Cart was so handy we didn’t have to rent one. The house is nice and clean the bedding towels. Everything was nice and clean. We would definitely stay again.

If you are looking for a historic, old-school Florida home, this is it. The only reason it isn’t a perfect score is that the hurricane closed most of the shops that make Pass-a-Grille quaint. We were able to support a few local restaurants, and the local traffic was very light. We wouldn’t have changed our trip, but it would have been good to know. It seems like businesses are working hard to get back on their feet. Overall a good experience. I appreciate Lisa’s great responsiveness.

Hosts was accommodating and quick to respond. Nice, quiet, hidden, place to kick back and relax after a long day!

We love this little cottage! The view from the back is phenomenal - we even saw a couple gators. The set up is so good for pets. The cottage has everything you need and the primary bed is more comfortable than a hotel bed. 10/10 and would def stay here again!

We had such a great stay at Kristin’s place! It was super cute, really clean, and had everything we needed. Kristin was amazing — super responsive and helpful with all of my questions. The AC worked perfectly, which was such a relief with the April heat, and the shower was awesome too. There was a little construction nearby, but honestly, we barely even noticed it, and Kristin made sure to let us know about it ahead of time. The private dock felt so peaceful and tucked away, and the gazebo made the perfect spot for our wedding ceremony — it was seriously magical. Kristin made us feel so welcome and at home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to have our special day. We’re so grateful and would definitely stay here again!

Anna was extremely helpful and accommodating for our last-minute trip with the kids. Her place was super cute and very clean and well kept and we would be happy to recommend it to friends and family or return ourselves. Thank you so much, Anna!

Great gathering place for an extended family to get together. Very short walk to a stunning beach Great for kids. Perfectly located next to a park as well which was great.

The Alafia River House did not disappoint. Check in was easy with helpful photos & directions. The neighborhood is pretty quiet but yet close to everything too. The house is tucked in right on the river, the yard is lush & Florida tropical, it is the perfect place to sit & read, eat a meal or take a nap. Watching the chickens and surrounding nature are an added bonus. The home is old with character, but so clean & refreshing. All the things you need and more are carefully stowed in antique furniture. Martha is easy to contact, but you shouldn’t need anything. The kitchen is up to date & has all of the extra things that you probably forgot to bring. My husband and I had a sweet trip & the Alafia River House was a gem. Thank you Martha.

This is the third time we’ve stayed at Bridget’s tropical cabin oasis and we just love it! Bridget is always welcoming and communicative with every visit. She leaves a welcome basket with delicious treats, snacks and wine along with breakfast staples including coffee cream, eggs, cream cheese and bagels which we always enjoy! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. A large great room with skylights and windows let in the gorgeous tropical foliage. The master bedroom has an adjoining bathroom and a very comfy bed with a beautiful skylight above to enjoy the stars. We choose to stay at this beautiful cabin as it offers quiet, restful old Florida charm and is around the corner from the airport, The Ringling Museum, Asolo Theatre, restaurants, shopping and a short drive to St. Armand’s Circle with more restaurants and shopping on Lido Key and our absolute favorite beach. We are so lucky to have found this wonderful airbnb! Highly recommend!

As I indicated in the earlier part of the review, the location, grounds, and cabins were amazing. We had a large group of canoers stay in what we called the lodge - with 5 bedrooms and 2 bunk rooms. Though there are only 2 showers in the same bathroom for such a large number - we made it work. Megan and Marc left each cabin (we rented the lodge and 2 tiny cabins) with a half dozen or more organic, home raised fresh duck and chicken eggs. Nice touch! Launching from there and paddling was amazing on horse creek providing solitude and peace. They worked with us on a complicated checkout with some staying on while others left. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a country experience.

Glamping at its best ! Was here for the rodeo with friends and family . We had the boathouse Cabin. Very pristine and clean with a super comfortable mattress. I loved waking up to the sunrise overlooking the river with my morning coffee. Hope to return here again,

We appreciate home because it offers plenty of space for the family to hang out. This includes a spacious Florida room, two separate outdoor sitting areas for BBQ, and access to the Alafia River for fishing and kayaking. Plus, Gisselle was very responsive to any issues that we had.
