Our stay at the Pelican Paradise was perfect! The property is cute, clean & creatively decorated. We enjoyed the close proximity to IMG for a soccer tournament (10 min drive) and convenient location to shopping/dining. The backyard pool area provided a great location for family breakfast, afternoon relaxation & evening swims. The game room also provided space for family fun. If you’re looking for a great space to enjoy family time, this property is for you.

Never Staying anywhere else. Loved this place!This was my first time in Bradenton to attend my daughter's soccer tournament at IMG which was only 10 away. The home is well kept, clean and stocked with all you need. I love the decor and the amenities provided. When you walk in you will feel right at home. As I inspected the home my daughter and her friend ran to the back to check out the pool and golf area. The game room was fun with basket ball, futsal and a game console which had Galaga and Pac-Man which I was ecstatic about. The rooms were a nice size. The oversized master bedroom has an exit to the pool which was convenient to watch the girls while I relaxed. In addition the master bedroom has a table for those like me that might need to catch up on business related work. The master bathroom was also a nice size. We ran into a little trouble with the TV's but Joseph was fast to respond and walk me through the set up for our stay. I really appreciated him taking the time to make sure all was well. If you deicide to stay here you will not be disappointed. As someone who chooses VRBO's over hotels for many years now for my family I can assure you that if you run into any siltation Joseph will be there to attend to your needs. I know personally for me the biggest concern is communication especially if I am staying somewhere I've never been to. Thank you again!

Our stay here was top notch. The home is in a very nice area and very well equipped for traveling with a family. We appreciated how close it was to IMG, shops, restaurants and the beach! The weather was cooler than normal and I was very appreciative of the hosts ability to accommodate my request to turn the pool heater on even though it was not Dec. He was so kind about it and checked in to make sure all was perfect. I would certainly look to book this again.
