AG Casa Marina 2318 Gulf Drive North, Bradenton Beach, FL 34217

"This is a nicely updated older structure on the beach. We stayed in unit #5 and it was plenty of space for 6 people. We ate every meal on the 2nd story balcony with an unobstructed view of the gulf. Parking is tight for a truck with space for only one vehicle per unit but the other guests were courteous by staying centered in their assigned spots. We used the heated pool every day during our winter stay and cooked a few of our meals on the grill area of the shared “backyard”. We also appreciated that the outdoor shower had temperature control when washing off sand after hanging out on the beach. I definitely recommend if you’re looking for a nice place for vacation."

"The location is good but the comfort is limited. This unit is directly on the beach, which is the highlight of this Airbnb. We would be remiss if we did not leave a review to help future guests. Caveat #1: this is a two bedroom with a daybed and trundle in the hall. There is no door and the bed is directly in front of the household toilet. This was NOT conducive for a sleeping/napping 1.6 yr old. Caveat #2: We have two babies. One baby is fine but the crib is in the main bedroom walk-in closet with NO door. Walking to and from the master bath was a problem (lights and noise). Caveat #3: The ONLY seating in the WHOLE house is a 3 cushion couch and dining room chairs. Everyone has to sit in dining room chairs that sit straight up, which is NOT comfortable. There is no other seating in the house besides beds. Caveat #4 whoever takes care of the cleaning does not care how the kitchen is put back together. We had dishes in four different cabinets. At one time we thought we only had four plates and three coffee cups. There are no mixing bowls. Caveat #5 The description on the website says that there is new furniture and appliances throughout; this is completely not true. Everything in the house is showing wear and tear. Caveat #6: The stove does not have a digital display and therefore you are guessing that you input the right numbers for the temperature. Likewise for the timer. You can put in numbers but you can’t see the numbers. The oven does not cook to temperature! Watch whatever it is you’re cooking because you will probably need to add more time. The burners on the stove top are either boiling hot or off; “low” did not work. The letters on the stove are even worn off so it is definitely not brand new as stated in the description. Caveat #7: The icemaker does not work well so you will want to plan on buying ice from the start. Bottom line— We left early. No where to relax at night was very bad! We ended up ceasing our social time because the beds were the ONLY comfortable places to relax after a full beach day. All in all, worth it for the location but not worth it because of comfort and / or 2 children under 2."

"We had a great time at AG Casa Marina. The kids loved the heated pool, playing in the super fine sand and the beach. The view from our balcony was priceless. The location was great, close to everything. The apartment had a newly renovated kitchen and bath and you could tell they are working on bringing the place back to looking great. Some areas need improvement around the house and parking was tight but overall a great."

"We love this place, it's perfect for our family. It's not pristine, think of it more like an older beach cottage. To us, that's part of the charm. Right on the beach, walk right out the door onto the sand. We have three kids and that makes "beach time" all the time."

"LOCATION LOCATION!!!! I stayed in unit 2 with my son and mother...It was comfortable for the three of us.. everything we needed was already in the unit from dishes to towels when we arrived.. We had trouble with the lock on the door and within an hour a gentleman was there to fix it.. the pool was perfect for my son he loved it... the pool man came and cleaned it while we were there.. the unit is very comfortable for a short or long stay.. and did I mention LOCATION.. its RIGHT ON THE BEACH... with plenty of privacy.. The owner came to make sure we didn't need anything.. the whole experience was great. from the time we booked all the way to lounging on the beach with no worries.. I cant wait to go back!!! Great place to stay!!! Kim Pennsylvania"
