Nicole and Dustin are amazing hosts. My 98 year old passed away and our family was in Bradenton for a Celebration of Life for him. To complicate an already difficult time, Hurricane Helene hit the Bradenton area on the day we were to fly into Tampa. Nicole kept us informed of the weather and was totally supportive when we had to move our rental time back 2 days. Then when we checked in we found a sympathy card from Nicole and Dustin!! Then shortly after we arrived Dustin came by to welcome us personally and answer any questions we had. The home itself was exactly as described. Very clean, great amenities, very comfortable and very convenient to everything in Bradenton. I can't say enough about how grateful and appreciative we are for Nicole's and Dustin's flexibility, hospitality and kindness. Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!!

We had a great stay at Nicole & Dustin's duplex home. Everything was as described and it was fully stocked with everything we needed. It was great to have the bikes, laundry and beach items. We love the location as it is very close to the Cortez bridge to have easy access to all the beaches. Nicole was very responsive, friendly and communicative. We would highly recommend others to stay here!

Nicole was extremely accessible and very detailed and friendly. This place was in a great spot! The house was very clean and instantly felt at home! 5 out of 5 we found a home away from home!

What a quaint, beautiful villa! It was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home! Nicole was SO helpful, often checking in to see how our stay was and if we needed anything! She provided us with so many recommendations on neat places to see and go and great restaurants too! The only thing that would’ve made our stay better would have been to be able to stay longer😊 I would recommend these hosts and this villa to anyone!
