Paradise Bay Motel - Motel in Bradenton - 4406 102nd St W, USA

Pay me my money that you owe me. I was contacted by Mark Yousef, the owner George Youssef’s son concerning a hole in the ceiling in room number 12. He and I agreed that I would repair the whole and to send him the bill. I responded to the motel at 5 PM on Sunday, June 25, 2023. I repaired the hole, flawlessly, and the owners son informed me that I could not get payment until his father returned from a trip out of the country because he did not have access to his fathers account. I spoke with George Youssef nine days later once he returned, and he informed me that he is not going to pay me due to some air-conditioning issues, which I have nothing to do with. The reason Mark called me on Sunday afternoon when he did was because the tenant Eric in room number 12 refused to make rent payment because the hole had been in the ceiling for quite some time this is very shady bad business and Paradise Bay Motel should pay me my money.

I followed the rules !!!! First off i am a single mother with a one year old and came to this motel to get away from a domestic violent situation. Me and my baby stayed to ourselves didn't bother anyone. The on site managers were nice and helpful but were allowed to do as the owner told them. While i was there the ac unit exploded and caught fire at 11:30p.m. I was scared to death. I stayed there for 10 days for the amount of $636 and 100.00 of that was a deposit i would get back when i left. There was a burn hole found on the comforter in the room i was staying in and i don't smoke i vape. I felt bad about it so i left a new comforter that was my own and the still kept the deposit and told me i was no longer allowed to come back there. I could go on and one but i left the place in good condition. They find excuses not give your deposit back and as a domestic violent survivor using monies from an agency that 100$ would have helped me and my daughter. They have a no vacancy sign up when several unit are available because they do racial profiling. Sorry so long but this place needs to be known for my comment as well as all the others. I will pray for you ISIS(OWNER)

I found this place and booked based on the recommendation of my cousin who stayed here before. I believe these new owners must have bought the place recently and they were amazing and super responsive. I did have to call in my reservation well in advance as they do get booked up fast (!!). The space was clean and safe and the location is AMAZING! Near the water and in a super cute and quaint Anna Maria Island, near all the hot beaches, restaurants and malls. I definitely recommend trying to get a room here, they come set up with full kitchens and all. I already booked my next stay! Can't wait!!

My boyfriend and I met with the owner George to look at what he said was a 1 bedroom apt for $350 weekly/$1400 monthly utilities included. We look at the place and it was an efficiency. The kitchen had a rv sized stove a full sized bed 2 dressers and a dinette table with 2 chairs. The wall unit was on the back wall behind the fridge. We explained to him that the place were in now is bigger and we are paying $200 less a month. And all of our belongings wouldn't fit in there. We asked if he had anything bigger.His response was that there wasn't going to be anything bigger anytime soon and was pretty rude with us after that.

Owner tries to get everyone to be manager/housekeeper And offers money off rent. Treats tentants very poorly. Upped rent without notice. Does not want anyone talking to each other. Moves you around to different rooms without asking you. Always felt like we were walking on tiptoes. You did something she didn't like she would kick you out and keep your money. Not bad stuff either but things like walking from car to room without shirt on for a guy just coming in from beach. Room was nasty. I had to reclean it and table clothes are made of cut up shower curtains as well as roaches all in units.

While renting while renting for Mark and his family at the Paradise Bay motel I was asking if I can have my security deposit back he then took it upon himself to call the police department file charges against me with the sheriff's for asking for my security deposit back and at that point my husband's bike was left on the property what you're giving 30 days to pick up and he's supposed to secure instead he let it get stolen or stolen himself and got rid of the bicycle now he won't return calls or nothing

I have NOT experienced any negative issues with Paradise Bay including Isis (the owner ) thus far..... I have lived here more than 6 months and cannot be happier... if you mind your business, follow the motel rules and regulations, pay your rent on time and when you leave (with advanced notice), you leave the unit like you found it (clean) you do get your deposit back. As for the roaches and bed bugs that I have read about on here, I have not experienced this at all.... This is Florida people!! . ... I have stayed in $150.00 a night hotels and had roaches!!!! I chalked it up to being in Florida. ....overall, I feel very safe and content here at Paradise Bay and plan on staying here as long as possible. ..

Stayed on-site for 6 months the owner ISIS is awful treats everyone like a criminal won't fix anything and if something is wrong blames you for it and then asks you to leave .. There are cockroaches and bedbugs in certain units she doesn't even want the on site manager to be friendly .. No one can talk to each other. threw out people with children in two different units just because she wanted snow birds in three of the units .. People have died due to heroin in unit 3 . Isis will not rent to anyone black which is racist and deserves a law suit . doesn't like to return money for deposits or even unused rent ... Terrible place to stay
