Canal Home w/ Pool, Hot Tub & Pac-Man

There's a moment on every great family vacation when everyone stops scrolling, stops planning, and just exhales. At this NW Bradenton canal home, that moment happens about five minutes after you arrive — when the kids spot the Pac-Man machine, someone fires up the grill, and you realize the hot tub is already waiting for you. This is that kind of home.
Set at 1911 79th St NW, Bradenton, FL 34209, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom vacation rental was built for groups who want space, amenities, and the kind of Florida experience that doesn't require leaving the backyard.
🏠 Layout & Sleeping Arrangements

The home comfortably sleeps up to 9 guests across four beautifully appointed bedrooms and an additional sleeping area in the living room. The primary suite is a true retreat — a King bed paired with a private en-suite bathroom, giving the adults in the group their own sanctuary. The remaining three bedrooms each feature a plush Queen bed, ideal for families traveling together or friend groups splitting up rooms. The living area accommodates an air mattress for that extra guest who just couldn't be left behind. Two separate living rooms mean there's always a space to gather and always a space to unwind.
🌊 The Backyard Will Blow You Away

Most vacation homes have a nice backyard. This one has a backyard that becomes the highlight of the entire trip. Step outside to your completely private pool — open year-round and exclusively yours — surrounded by patio seating and a gas grill ready for whatever you're cooking tonight. The private year-round hot tub sits just steps away, perfect for evening soaks under the Florida stars. The partially fenced yard adds peace of mind for families, and the canal behind the home is the feature that puts this property in a category of its own: fishing poles are provided so guests can fish directly from the backyard. This is real Florida living, not the postcard version.
🎮 Entertainment That Keeps Everyone Happy

When it's time to come inside, a Pac-Man arcade machine is ready to host a tournament. Board games and kids games round out the entertainment lineup, making rainy days just as fun as sunny ones. With two living rooms to spread across, there's never a fight over the remote.
👨‍👩‍👧 Built for Families

Traveling with little ones A Pack-N-Play and high chair are already on-site, so you can leave the heavy gear at home and focus on making memories instead. Beach chairs are provided — just grab them and go when Anna Maria Island calls.
🍳 Kitchen, Comfort & Convenience

The fully equipped kitchen features a dishwasher and a conventional coffee machine to fuel your mornings. A washer and dryer on-site means longer stays are effortless. Shampoo, body soap, and conditioner are stocked so your packing list stays short. The 2-car garage protects your vehicles from the Florida sun and keeps things organized throughout your stay. Great WiFi throughout the home keeps everyone connected.
🗺️ Location: NW Bradenton's Best Kept Secret

The 34209 zip code puts you in one of Bradenton's most desirable residential corridors, minutes from everything worth doing on Florida's Gulf Coast. Anna Maria Island and Coquina Beach — with their powdery white sand and crystal-clear Gulf water — are just a short drive away. Robinson Preserve, just blocks from the property, offers 487 acres of hiking and biking trails, a kayak launch, and a stunning observation tower overlooking Tampa Bay. Palma Sola Botanical Park is a free, serene 10-acre escape with exotic fruit trees and shaded shell paths. The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature brings interactive exhibits and a planetarium for rainy-day adventures. Downtown Bradenton's Riverwalk, the Village of the Arts, and LECOM Park (Spring Training home of the Pittsburgh Pirates) are all within easy reach.
This home is perfectly positioned for families seeking a true Florida vacation, multi-generational groups who need space and amenities, friend groups ready to fish, grill, and relax in style, and anyone who wants a private pool and hot tub experience in a quiet, residential neighborhood close to world-class beaches.
