Our stay at Tarpon Flats was wonderful! Laura is a tremendous host! She is quick to respond, accommodating, understanding and working with her is super easy. The home is as advertised. The kitchen is well equipped, neat, clean and current. The entire house was very clean with a nice supply towels; bath and beach. Check before shopping for incidentals as they are available on the property. The five minute walk to the beach was easy and the wagon for hauling our beach things was appreciated. Enjoyed our stay and we're coming back! Thank you, Laura!

Great stay steps from Bradenton Beach

We throughly enjoyed our stay! The house was clean, well equipped with plenty of amenities in the kitchen, beach equipment, lots of towels and beach towels, a washer and dryer. The couch was so comfortable and great to laze on in the evening. We enjoying sitting on the front balcony/porch having a morning coffee, this side of the house is east and bay side facing so you can watch a beautiful bayside sunrise. Communication with the host was flawless and we would definitely stay again.

Excellent Spring Break!

AMI is our yearly destination for spring break. This was our 10th year. We’ve stayed at condos and multi-family houses throughout Bradenton beach. This was our favorite space. Communication with Laura was top-notch. Location, accuracy, affordability, all exactly what we needed. Well-stocked kitchen, beach necessities, laundry, etc. Looking forward to our stay for spring break 2026!!

Great Location but...

The pictures show the property accurately but you miss all the fine details. The location was good. Bay views and breezes. A short 3 block walk to the gulf where the beaches are beautiful. the house itself is spacious and has a great shower (only 1). On our second day the faucet in the kitchen stopped working which was replaced the next day. the kitchen was well equipped. The main bed was extremely soft and low to the ground which didn't work for my husband. He switched he'd to another bedroom and that seemed to work for him. The floors let my feet black and I sent a picture to the manager and never heard back from her. The sink and faucet in the bath were very wobbly which was fixed as best as possible. The pipes under the sink were not correct so the handyman came back again and fixed that. The screened in porch had a torn out screen which was removed and never replaced. Most of the window had no screens and had to be propped up to keep them open. The tile floors were cracked and chipped. The bathroom cabinetry was old and in need of replacement. The garage door opener didn't work properly, but that was fixed also. Out door lighting was askew. The stairs heading down to the grill had feces on them. the screened in porch had outdoor debris inside that wasn't swept out. the fence in the side yard was broken down and laying in the neighbors yard. The tv and internet was spotty at best. Outside needed a good cleaning also. Good Luck if you rent.

Easy access to the beach with a short little walk. Host has a wagon to get your stuff to the beach. There’s a great crosswalk on 25th street. Other beaches are just a short drive. The interior was clean and comfortable. My wife and I enjoyed sitting out on the back balcony and enjoy the evening.

Great stay

Overall this was a great place! Location was great..could see the Bay from the balcony and the beach was a 3 block walk. Close to everything- however we rented a golf cart for the week so that made getting around 100% easier. Neighbors we encountered were all very friendly. If I could give recommendations for anything it would be that the bathrooms could use some updates. And the beach chairs werent the best - but we brought our own also. AMI is amazing and we had the best time and will be back.

Met basic needs but…

The house met our basic needs but needs some work. One of the doors to the front balcony wouldn’t shut properly nor lock. During our week long stay we had to prop a dining room chair against the door to keep it shut. Reached out about the issue, the manager responded via messages very quickly but the problem was never fixed. Another major issue is the “master” bathroom. This bathroom has the only shower/tub. So with 5 people having to share was a timely inconvenience. The biggest problem with the bathroom is the “contemporary” glass blue sink. The sink had a green mold growing from the handle and the sink was very loose. My wife and I refused to the sink for any reason. Often going to the kitchen to brush our teeth. We did love how close to house was to the beach and the screened in back baloney with the hammock. We definitely appreciated all the beach gear.

Wow! What a great time our family had on this vacation. This house is in a great location and is a close walk to the beach or for a short stroll to view the bay. Our family loved the restaurants and experience of the places that Laura suggested. Laura has prompt communication and is a wonderful host. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
