Nestled in Bradenton Beach, this charming house for $328 per night is a great option for your next trip. Enchanting, seashell-pink, Gulf-front 3br/2ba vacation getaway on Anna Maria Island. This freshly renovated 1,032 sq ft, Key West-style single-family home was originally built in 1940, and still glows with all the charm of a quintessential “old Florida” beach cottage. Yet, it’s been beautifully renovated inside and out; transformed into a sleek, stylish, contemporary seaside paradise. Located in the Cortez neighborhood at the South end of Bradenton Beach, this dream home is just twenty steps from the white sand beach.

The granite breakfast bar offers stool seating for four, below glass pendant chandeliers that resemble champagne flutes. These professional interior decor details invoke an enchanting ambiance of underwater waves, currents, and bubbles, dancing through sunlit space The dining area, situated between the kitchen and living room, has a natural driftwood hue cafe-style table with Hamptons-blue upholstered seating for four. Fix a fresh fruit salad for lunch, grill some fish tacos for dinner.

The cottage is built on pillars, with parking below. The paver parking area is beautifully landscaped with native plants. Guests can park 2 cars as well as boats/trailers. Stairs from the parking area lead up to the front entry (No elevator.) The Neighborhood: Swim in the turquoise Gulf of Mexico where dolphins play daily. Bring your fishing gear to cast a line off the pier, or rent a boat to get out on deep water and fish. Walk to 14 different restaurants! Prime location offers an easy stroll to boutiques, entertainment, grocery market, and pharmacy. Nearby are boat rentals, sunset cruises, as well as jet ski, bike, paddleboard, scooter, and kayak rentals. This seven-mile barrier island is Florida’s best-kept secret. There’s a saying here; “when you're on Anna Maria Island, you don’t go to the beach… because on Anna Maria Island, you’re already at the beach.” The Island in the Sun is Florida’s best-kept secret. With Gulf temperatures averaging 84 degrees and 360 days of sunshine per year the surrounding waters of AMI are known as “the nursery” because of the large number of dolphins that raise their young here. With the island’s laid-back charm and leisurely unhurried living, speed limits are restricted to 25 mph - 35 mph throughout most of the island. This tropical paradise also offers free trolley service for both tourists and residents. Be sure to visit Anna Maria City Pier! Built in the early 1900s, this 700-foot-long pier provides a great vantage point for watching sunrises and sunsets, bird watching, dolphin watching, and provides views of Tampa Bay and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. You can also fish off this pier. Bridge Street Pier, located on the southern end of the island in Bradenton Beach, honors the past while still embracing the future with its ‘Old Florida’ charm mixed with new restaurants, shops, galleries, and more. Enjoy the architecture and charm of Historic Green Village. Most of the restored buildings now run on solar panels and other modern energy-saving methods. The island, surrounded by water and interlaced with canals, is host to many amazing sea creatures - among them are Loggerhead Turtles, Manatees, and dolphins. Loggerhead turtles are a protected species and we have the Turtle Watch - a group of wonderful folks who search the beaches for nests and protect those nests until the eggs hatch (it is illegal for anyone to tamper with the nests). Manatees are also protected here in Florida - they are commonly seen in the summer when they leave their winter warm waters and migrate south.

The reason I gave accuracy of listing a 4 star is we had the impression it was only a gulf view from the rooftop. Nope. It literally is across from the Gulf. Gorgeous. We had 2 issues both dealt with promptly. Highly recommend

We were so excited to see the views matched the posting! The home was beautiful and perfect for the 4 of us.
The weather didn’t cooperate but we enjoyed the views and walking beach.
Beautiful, clean, safe!

Property was really nice, with a great view of the beach from three sides of the house. Really enjoyed the beachfront itself, very few people and beautiful sand and room to spread out and run around. Beach chairs were a definite plus! House was great, everything that we needed. Loved being able to walk to the little Downtown area for breakfast and coffee and dinner one night.
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay here! The rooftop was a perfect place to see sunrise/sunset. Perfect place to drink your morning coffee. The interior was beautiful, updated, and had everything we needed from towels to toiletries. The location is beachfront and a quick walk to restaurants, shops, and bars. Would definitely stay again!

We had a good stay. The property manager was quick to reply with a small issue we had. Would stay at this property again.

There were 5 (2 small children) of us and it was enough room but for adults it may be tough. The house is in a great location and most mornings- into the middle of the day there was no one or very few others on the beach area we were at (the public access is on both sides so we were in the middle and it felt like our own little paradise). They were doing some construction so the views from house included heavy equipment but that doesn’t deter the beauty. The roof top is great! My recommendation would be more storage in the rooms, maybe some drawers but other than that it was fine. My only issues (weren’t major) was we contacted the host through the app regarding the washing machine leaking, they responded to see what unit we were at but that was it.. we made it work while we were there since it was only 3 days but if we were there longer it would have gotten frustrating, also the chairs they had had broken straps so carrying stuff was difficult. Overall I would recommend this house, we enjoyed our stay and it was perfect for our little getaway!!

Wonderful family spot.
5.0
This house is very convenient to the beach and the surrounding communities. The rooftop patio is a wonderful place to watch the amazing sunsets. The covered parking is espcially appreciated at this time of year when the temps are so high. The home was very clean and furnishings are adequate.
The only issue we had was a lack of space for groceries .

This property was everything Terry described it to be.
It was our first time visiting Anna Maria Island, and we already can't wait to go back! At first we were wondering if we stayed in the right spot (Bradenton Beach), but after checking out the rest of the Island, we knew that we had chosen the perfect location. It was like we had our own private beach and were so close to Bridge Street where we could eat and shop. This definitely was a memorable vacation!

Everything was as suggested, the property seemed to have been recently renovated, the property manager was communicative and it was just what was needed. Thank you.

Absolutely loved the location and house. Clean and one block to beach. House has everything you need. Would go back and o am a resident.

The best thing about the property was that it was right across from the beach, which is what I wanted. It was clean, and the appliances were new. I believe the condo was just remodeled, but some things did not work yet. The fridge had no water or ice. The water pressure was very low in the bathrooms with the
exception of the shower in the master.
The fan and lights in the master did not work. One kitchen chair had 2 missing screws on one leg so it was an accident waiting to happen. It was a good thing I noticed it. There were other items we would have liked such as hot pads, more coffee cups, extra blankets and pillows, better quality paper goods, etc.
The VRBO contact did not send a handyman as promised so nothing was fixed for us.
The worst thing was Red Tide hit the beaches so we coughed, sneezed, and had runny eyes. We could not use the beautiful beach right across the road for a few days and had to find other beaches or things to do so our beachfront condo did not pay off. All in all, for the price of the condo, we expected more in the way of comforts, and certainly someone to fix all the things that were wrong. I rented from VRBO in the past and never had such problems.

Perfect location across from the beach. Beautiful sunset

This was a wonderfully property. The location was excellent - right across the street from the beach. Easy to catch island trolley to get to more places on the island. Wonderful walking on the beach and sidewalks. The inside of the house was clean and very cutely decorated. My favorite feature was the roof top deck. Great for the views both for morning coffee and evening beverages. The property manager Terry was always available if needed for questions. I would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely LOVED this property. Went for my 30th birthday weekend and it couldn’t have been better. The closeness to the beach, the cleanliness of the house, and the rooftop terrace were perfect. Definitely plan to stay again!

Loved the property and the location of it. So close to the beach. And the weather was perfect for our January stay! Anna Maria island was a delight for us to visit. There were so many positives for us that the few negatives were far outnumbered. We would not hesitate to stay again

The house was just as described and shown in the photos. The location was perfect. The short walk to the restaurants and shops at the pier was ideal. The rooftop deck was the best part by far. We will definitely be back!

This home was true to listing, we loved being across from the beach. Terry was very responsive. We will book with him again if we come back to AMI. Thank you Terry!

Our family of four including 21 and 14 yr old children stayed at this beach front property over Christmas 2022. It was perfect for us! View of beach and property is accurately described in the photos. It is updated and clean. The beds were very comfortable! There was one tiny snafu in that the main bedroom light and ceiling fan weren't working but we made it work with the lamps. It didn't deter our wonderful stay and we are already thinking of when we can book this cute beachhouse in the near future! Thank you for hosting us-we'll be back!

We came for a destination beach wedding. The online photos are very accurate. The place was very clean and updated. It is across the street from the gulf side of the island. The beach is sugar sand, clean and not a ton of people which we liked. The location is a 10 minute easy walk to the the Bridge Street area with plenty of restaurants and shops. We had 6 adults in our group and the quick beach and shopping options allowed for everyone to do their own thing without requiring a car. Fly into Sarasota airport- 20 minute drive(approx $30). A rental car is not needed if you are staying on the island. The AMI free trolley goes right by the house with a stop a few houses down if you want to explore the island. One in our group called the golf cart shuttle to go to dinner. It was free with a tip recommended. The area is very quiet after 10pm.
5.0
The house was in an amazing location. Had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The roof top deck was amazing with the views of the ocean. Extremely easy access to beach, and all the fixing needed for a relaxing day on the island beach. The only negative is the description of the property lead us to believe there were 2 king beds and on 2 different floors. There Is only 1 king and 3 double. No reason to complain though, everyone was comfortable! We are already planning our next trip down to the island!

Property is walking distance from the beaches, restaurants and shops. Place is clean.

Clean house
The property was very clean for being practically right on the beach. I had trouble getting into the place, but Terry fixed that right away. Our tv and Wi-Fi didn’t work, but that was the least of our worries on the beach. Our master bedroom light burnt out a day into our stay, but that wasn’t the end of the world as there were lamps on each side of the bed. We also didn’t have shampoo and conditioner in each of the bathrooms, but we packed our own so it was nice not relying on that. It would have been nice to have a dustpan to keep the sand swept up. We had a broom so we swept it to one area. Overall, this was a good stay.

We loved everything about this property. Location, space, views, amenities. The next time we visit, we plan to stay at this house. Absolutely nothing to say other than positive comments. Can’t wait to return!

Great House, Great Location!
We loved our stay at this property! The house was clean and well stocked with beach gear and other household items. We loved the rooftop deck in the mornings and evenings. It felt like home for our week’s vacation.
We rented bikes and enjoyed riding to Bridge Street daily. This property is now on our favorites list and we definitely plan to return!

Amazing property with fantastic views and a rooftop patio. Easy access to a sugar sand beach and multiple dolphin sightings. Spectacular sunsets from the pier allowed for incredible photo opportunities. Bridge street was just a 10 minute walk up the street and had several decent bars/restaurants. Would definitely recommend and return

Yes before he gives you the code to the house you must sign an outside lease agreement. I have stayed in dozens of Vrbo houses condos and apartments and never had to do this. A lot of rules that have heavy fines if you break them per his lease agreement. I found myself more stressed about the whole situation than needed. I felt like it was over kill and unnecessary which caused extra drama to the checkin process and always weighed heavy in my mind during the stay.
