Shorewalk Vacation Villas

We were locked out of this villa for over an hour. The property advertises a 24/7 emergency maintenance line — I called it repeatedly, texted, and left messages. No answer, no callback, the entire time. Standing outside in 90° heat with no way to reach anyone who was supposed to be on call was genuinely alarming. If you’re considering this property, ask yourself what happens if something actually goes wrong. For us, it took 50+ unanswered calls to find out. Additionally, terrible location, amenities, and subpar rooms Do your research before booking. We won’t be back..

We got locked out of our room because they didn’t change the lock batteries and now we’re stuck outside with a child and no one will answer the phone to help us. Their emergency line doesn’t work and no one at the office will answer. If I could rate a 0 I would. VERRY DISAPPOINTED!!!

I first stayed at Shorewalk over 20 years ago. It had the wow factor then , but now, sadly its beginning to look rundown, and desperately needs money injecting into it. The apartment we stayed in, although, had been recently decorated , needs new bathrooms and a kitchen. They are very tired and the water pressure is so slow, it trickles from an outdated shower. It's such a shame, because its well placed for visiting stunning, Bradenton beaches and a vibrant Bradenton centre. We found on arrival, in an apartment we rented through British Airways, there was only one set of sheets , which were on the bed, 1 bath towel each and 1 hand towel each. Although we arrived late at night, there was no arrival pack , no coffee, tea, milk or sugar, which would have been very welcome. 1 tea towel No salt or pepper No basic cleaning products. You do get charged quite heavily for cleaning at the beginning of your stay, well over £100. Of course its self catering, but you do expect some basics, if only to make a cuppa when you get there ! The pool is lovely but the tiles aren't very clean , and heaven help you if don't have a quick shower before you get in. Some scary lady , jumps out from no where and shouts at you to obay one of a dozen rules plastered all over the fences!
