Rented in Mar 2008 for a month. Came back in Nov 2008 for a month. Returned in Feb 2009 for 3 day Lifestyle before renting in Bradenton for month of March 2009. Bradenton was nice, three miles from lovely beaches, but our hearts were set on TV. Went home, sold our house and moved down Sept. 1st. Bought a house in 2 days(never expected that)! Just saying today that it's like a permanent vacation here. We just love it. Can't imagine anyplace better. You won't be sorry!
