Bradenton, Florida
Modern, cilean and bright pet-friendly HEATED POOL home mins from Anna Maria's famous soft sand beaches. There’s lots of room inside and out to relax and enjoy everything Florida's Gulf Coast has to offer including beaches, golfing, fishing, boating, tennis, pickleball, and plenty of nature. World class beaches are only minutes away but you may just want to stay "home" (and away from the traffic and crowds) enjoying your own private pool, lanai and cozy living space. Watch TV on the large sectional sofa, sunbathe, float in the pool, or enjoy sharing a meal at the dining table that comfortably seats 8. The house has 3 - 4 spacious bedrooms. One has a king-sized bed, TV, walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. The 2nd bedroom has a queen bed with French doors leading out to the screened-in lanai and pool area. The 3rd bedroom has 2 twin beds and, like all the bedrooms, high quality mattresses and bed linens, ceiling fans and room darkening window shades for a good night's sleep. Use the 4th room to watch TV, read, or as a 4th bedroom with a trundle that can be turned into two twin beds or a king.
Working remotely No problem! The house has high speed WiFi throughout.
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything a cook could need including quality pots and pans, serving dishes and cooking utensils. There's also a microwave, blender, toaster oven, plenty of plates, bowls, glassware and silverware. Use the outdoor gas grill. Or if you’re not in the mood to cook, grab plates and enjoy pizza or carry-out from one of the many restaurants nearby.
The screened-in lanai has plenty of room to stretch out and relax on one of the chaise lounges. We provide floats and plenty of pool toys for the kids.
*Please note: out of respect for our neighbors, we ask all guests to enjoy themselves inside after 11 pm. So please no loud music, conversation or splashing in the pool after 11 pm*
There is also a washer-dryer available for guests to use. There's plenty of parking in the driveway or on the street right in front of the house. And bring your boat - there's a boat access to the Gulf of Mexico only five minutes away!
If you're bringing a pet, you can relax knowing the back yard is completely fenced in.
We've tried to to think of everything to make the house your home-away-from-home for a tropical vacation including nice linens, extra pillows and blankets, kitchen supplies, pool and beach toys, beach towels, beach chairs, and coolers. We also provide guests with a detailed list of our favorite activities and restaurants in the area. And for guests bringing pets, we provide a list of dog-friendly places, too.
If there's anything you need to make your stay more comfortable, just ask!
*If you would like the pool heated during your visit (it is OPTIONAL) there is an additional fee.*
NOTE: We highly recommend guests buy travel insurance so they’re covered in case they have to cancel outside the refund window.
This was such a carefree stay. The house is set up for fun. There is plenty of beach gear for the kids to use and even cute beach bags. There were plenty of soft towels and pillows and blankets. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved the outdoor space. The way the patio is tucked in makes everything feel very private. There is a fan you can use to circulate the air if need be but a quick jump in the pool accomplished the same thing. We took walks in the neighborhood and everyone was sooo friendly. There is the best, most helpful binder with great recommendations both on and off the island for things to eat and do. Beach tips: weekends are packed! Get there before 9am or risk spending most of your time looking for parking. Weekdays are much easier to find parking but I’d still recommend going before 11am. And if you go to Manatee Beach (without traffic it’s a straight shot about 10 mins away) and eat all you can eat pancakes right on the beach!! We have been to the area a number of times and this house was our favorite we’ve stayed at off island. Highly highly recommend. And if you encounter ANYTHING slightly off (we had found some lightbulbs that were burnt out) contact the owner immediately. She had them replaced within the hour. Super receptive. And she can’t make things better if she doesn’t know it’s broke. She was the sweetest.
House was nice and specious for 8 people. Nice sitting area outside and refreshing pool. I would tecommend this House.
We had an amazing time! Staying at a functional, well stocked house is essential when traveling with a family. The kids loved being able to take a dip in the pool after spending the day at the beach. Having the flexibility of cooking at home instead of going out was also a great option! We would definitely consider staying a this property again when we visit Anna Maria in the future!
Great location convenient to AMI and central to Sarasota and Tampa areas. The house was well setup for rental needs and very clean! We enjoyed the pool and covered back porch. Caroline, the host, was responsive with any questions we had before and during our stay.
We came from the North in search of a warm, sunny, quiet place, with a pool, child and dog friendly, and close to the beach and area attractions. This house is exactly that, as described and pictured. Clean, comfortable for 2 of us for 3 weeks, and worked well when one of our sons, his spouse, and their 6 and 2 year old children joined us for a week. The space is well designed for families and stocked with everything you might need. We spent lots of time outside on the covered porch and pool area. The backyard is fenced and nicely landscaped, so that the pool is sunny but surrounded by greenery, and it feels surprisingly secluded. It is in a quiet neighborhood-we liked that it was not in the middle of the crowds on Anna Maria Island. The owner, Caroline, lives nearby, is responsive and has helpful ideas about things to do. She has also written a thoughtful guide to the area with lots of great suggestions. There are so many things to do- the beach, of course, and Bradenton and Sarasota attractions are an easy drive. Palma Sola Botanical garden is a pretty place to walk and has outdoor yoga. Bishop’s Point is a short walk. Perico Preserve and Robinson’s Preserve are good places to hike, and the Nest at Robinson’s is great place for kids to climb and play. DeSoto National Monument has a nice path along the beach. Anna Maria Island (drive to Pine St. to park. You can order donuts online from The Donut Experiment and pick up, then use public access to the beach). Pine St. also has a few little stores and a public pier on the bay side. The Bradenton Saturday street market is fun. Kefi Coffee is nearby, has great food, coffee, and a nice large, covered patio that is child and dog friendly. Bishop Museum downtown Bradenton has a manatee rescue/rehab aquarium. And Jeremiah’s has tasty ice cream on the way out of Bradenton. Our favorite place to eat was the Star Fish Seafood Co. in Cortez. It is both a fish market and a dockside restaurant with really fresh fish, simply prepared, fun trinkets for kids, and a great little aquarium. We saw lots of Pelicans and a few Dolphins from the dock.
The house is fully equipped and supplied. It has comfortable seating and a Smart TV. It is 5 minutes from Desoto National Monument. A mile walk to Bishop Point provides a view of the river. 2 miles from Robinson Preserve. AMI is about a 7 mile drive.
The house and area were very quiet and laid back which was perfect for us to chill and relax. Shopping and restaurants are close by. The house was well equipped with almost anything we needed. The host was very responsive and helpful. We felt she really cared about her home and about us.
I really enjoyed visiting there.
We had a great stay. Everything was as described in the listing and our host was wonderful.
Great place to stay close to AMI
From the time I booked my trip the owner answered all my questions. She was such a big help! The house was impecable, equipped with everything you need to have an unforgettable vacation. I would recommend to rent this house 100%. Thank you once again. Blessings!
The property was super clean and everything we needed was provided. The owner was attentive and responsive if we had a question.
We chose this property based on cost and proximity to places we visited growing up vacationing on Anna Maria Island. We spent most days in a rotation between the pool and the beach with a few adventures scattered throughout. This house had all the basic supplies anyone would need to have a fun and relaxing vacation.
This is our second time renting this house and it will not be our last. It’s clean, spacious, and well-furnished. The patio and pool are perfection.
The house is absolutely lovely and totally set up for everything. Everything looks quite new and it is very clean and well furnished. The kitchen is more than fully stocked. There's a washer and dryer. There are actually 4 bedrooms, all a decent size. The 4th is like a kids away room with a bed in it as well. The neighborhood is very quiet and very close to everything. The pool was amazing and very clean and temperature perfect. The patio is amazing.. we basically lived there for most of our time:-). It was very relaxing and enjoyable. We truly enjoyed everything. The host is quick to respond and is very considerate of people's budgets.
Location of this house is excellent. Access to great restaurants and beautiful beaches within 5 mins drive. Caroline was fantastic, communication was excellent. House was very clean and provided everything you could possibly require for a stress free break.
