Sail Away Cottage was built in 1920 — one of the oldest homes on Anna Maria Island — and moved to its current location in Bradenton Beach in the 1980s. The bones and character of a century-old beach cottage are intact. The island-themed updates are throughout. From the elevated position, you can hear the Gulf waves without seeing the water directly — and on a clear day, there's even a peek of the Gulf from the right angle.

One hundred and seventy steps to the sandy beach. That's the walk from the front door to the sand — specific enough to plan around, short enough to make spontaneous beach trips genuinely easy.

The private backyard is the outdoor living space. A heated pool sits in the center, framed by new tropical landscaping that screens the yard from the street. A large deck wraps the pool area — the right setup for morning coffee, afternoon sun, and evening cookouts. An outdoor shower handles post-beach cleanup before coming inside.

Three bedrooms sleep six. Two bedrooms have queen beds. The third bedroom has two twin beds. Two full bathrooms throughout. Flat-screen TVs in all bedrooms and the living room. High-speed WiFi included.

Three-car parking is included — generous for a Bradenton Beach property of this size.

Sail Away Cottage requires a one-week minimum stay. Not pet-friendly.

    The home on the inside is very nice - beds are comfy - close to everything we wanted to do - groceries- restaurants- beach - we had a very enjoyable stay !! The deck does need some very much needed repair - the pool needed some attention the day we got there - it was not clean and we were told the pool was tended to twice a week - on Fridays and Wednesday - we got there on a Saturday and it did not have any chlorine in it - and we spent 2 hours cleaning it and filling it to where it needed to be to pump water - the filter was full of leaves - the pool guy did come on Wednesday and did fill it with chlorine - much better - it was a great time just laying back and enjoying the October weather !!! We will be back!!!

    House was super clean.. Right next to the beach with public access and in walking distance of pretty much anything... Had a great time... The back deck could use a little work but other than that we had a great time.

    It was just right for us. The construction next door was a little distracting. And the girls weren’t thrilled to hang out in the pool when the work crew was there. But overall it was wonderful.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sail away cottage was exceptional! Location is just a few steps from the beach. House is tucked away with tall trees and tropical plants which was great for privacy. House was very clean and accomodating for our family. Our only complaint was the Mosquitos being out of control all day.Made it tough to enjoy the backyard especially in the evening. Overall highly satisfied with property and would visit again

Reviewer Comments: The house was great, there were a few things that could be improved the deck needs new deck boards and the two bathroom sinks could be replaced due to having cracks in them, other than that the house and location is great

    Everything was as pictured. The living area was larger than expected. We loved the gate off the back porch since we had an 18 month old with us and it was added security with the pool.We were able to walk to numerous restaurants and we were very close to the beach.Easily communicated with the vacation rental agency. Only negative was the mattress in bedroom 2. It really sags in the middle. We would return!J and SOn numerous

    Definitely a house you can relax in. We had 6 people during our stay and never felt crammed in together. The twin beds in the 2nd guest room are not very sturdy, so I was a little nervous putting my boys in there. Good communication with rental service even when we arrived very late. Overall very pleased with our stay.

    We were completely satisfied with our stay at Sail Away Cottage. Pictures are accurate, description is spot on, house is clean. Close proximity to the beach was a big plus for us. Quiet neighborhood and the beach wasn't crowded. Close to many different restaurants. Check-in was efficient and communication was clear. Such a hidden gem. You won't be disappointed with this booking.

    Great house in the perfect location for a family. Quick walk to the beach and 15 minute walk to Bridge Street and all it has to offer. Pool was just the right size and the landscaping was beautiful.
