Front row to the Gulf.

Shell Cove 9 delivers what beachfront really means — step out your door and you're on the sand. This upper-level condo sits directly on Bradenton Beach with unobstructedGulf views from the private balcony. No roads to cross, no boardwalks to navigate. Just the beach, the water, and miles of sand stretching in both directions.

The balcony is where the days begin and end. Large enough for outdoor furniture and dining, it's where dolphins appear at sunrise and sunsets arrive every evening. The second-floor position gives better views and more privacy than the ground-level units without the elevator wait of a high-rise.

Two bedrooms sleep six. The master has a queen bed. The second bedroom has two twin beds. The living room sleeper sofa handles the remaining guests. One full bathroom with tub and shower combination. Flat-screen TVs in both bedrooms and the living room. The kitchen has granite countertops, stovetop cooking, microwave, and dishwasher — no full oven, worth knowing for guests who plan to bake. In-unit washer and dryer.

Beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and a cooler are stored in the unit — walk to the sand in seconds with everything already provided.

The free island trolley stops nearby.

Please note: this is an upper-level unit accessed by stairs only — there is no elevator.

One vehicle parking space included. One-week minimum stay.

    This was my second time staying at Shell Cove but my first time in condo #9. It was clean and exactly what we needed for the two of us. The views were amazing and we loved leaving our sandals by the door and walking straight down to the beach. There were 4 beach chairs, an umbrella, and beach towels at the condo! The traffic from the road was loud in the early morning. A sound machine to help cut down on the road noise would have been helpful. We did have to buy more toilet paper and there was an issue with the dishwasher but it was quickly fixed. The host was excellent and provided plenty of information ahead of time! We would stay again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great place to stay if you want a peaceful, relaxing, vacation on the beach. The unit was very clean and spacious enough for the four of us. We loved having the beach right outside our door. It was so much nicer than our stays at high rise condos where you have to wait for an elevator, then carry all your beach gear through a lobby and pool area, and then across a boearwak to get to the beach.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view and beach access were beyond awesome! It is small so I’m not sure you could say 6 people would fit comfortably. Kitchen is tiny with small size appliances. There is no oven. Nicely decorated. The most comfortable beds. The cleaning crew needs tutorials on how to clean well. The dishwasher didn’t work well. Never took the detergent from the detergent slot during cycle. Washing machine smelled of mildew. I feel the information should include that the upstairs units have no elevator so be willing to carry everything upstairs. This is important for elderly clients. Over all, we had a great time and would stay here again. See

    We really enjoyed staying at ShellCove! It was just steps from the beautiful beach. Check in was easy and the location is convenient. It is small but cute and comfortable, and it fit our family of four perfectly. We did have a problem with the bathroom sink draining but that was fixed promptly. The dishwasher needs to be reattached, it kept falling out on me, but overall our stay was wonderful! The sunsets are epic, we enjoyed them every night :)

    You don't need 1,000s of sq feet of space when the beach is literally just out the front door. We've stayed at Shell Cove before and its out go-to. Perfect amount of space for a small family and the sunsets are gorgeous!

I was a little cramped for 2 adults with 2 older kids but we made due. Very nice overall, but wish it had an actual oven. Will definitely stay again.
