Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Bradenton Beach

We had an amazing week at this beautiful beach home! Everything was exactly as described. My family usually packs up everything, down to household items like paper towels, hand/dish soap, toilet paper, laundry supplies, etc, and drive to our destination. We flew this time (first time to AMI/ Holmes Beach) and didn’t have room to pack all of that. Not to worry- it was all provided! Beach equipment- all provided! Now, I was a little skeptical upon booking about that walk to the beach, as we are used to staying directly on the beach. However, that was an easier walk to the beach than any place we’ve ever stayed! And location!!! We practically had the beach to ourselves, which we enjoyed! It was so peaceful. Mark is a very responsive host. He checked in with us a few times during our stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. If you’re considering this property, book it. You won’t regret it! 10/10 recommend FamilyTides and AMI/ Holmes Beach! Thank you to Mark and his wife!

Amazing historical home in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. It was a great option for traveling back and forth from the beach, the island and fun excursions. Excellent choice! Brenda was an outstanding host, couldn't have asked for a better host. Thank you Brenda!

Beautiful home and surrounding area, Pristine home in brand new condition. Expertly furnished, lots to do for teenagers, they loved the ice bath! Well stocked kitchen. The host was very responsive and helpful would definitely recommend this location and home. Happy vacationing.

We were able to check in a little early! Location is PERFECT! Able to park and walk less than a block to the beach. I took my 9 month old as well and was really easy for me to bring her back from the beach for a nap or to play in the pool!

This was our first Airbnb experience and we really enjoyed our stay. We were 15 minutes away from beautiful beaches. It was super close to stores. The one issue I had were the sugar ants in the kitchen. I could not leave any food on the counters at all. I am from Florida so I understand the bugs but it can be inconvenient for longer stays. But other than that our stay was great and we would stay there again. I highly recommend this place.

We had a wonderful time. The house was more spacious than pictures shown. Location was amazing!

From the minute you get there the grounds are beautifully kept, crisp and lush. Inside was immaculate and the fenced, private backyard with pool did not disappoint. Tropical landscape, a variety of comfy options for relaxing or dining and the pool was perfect! We paid extra to have it heated and it was totally worth it…especially for my young children(3 and 7) to swim and not shiver:-). This place has a nice light, airy, relaxed, indoor outdoor vibe! My parents traveled with us as well and also loved it! The very short walk to the beach was perfect and opened up to this beautiful, seemingly private beach. You could see the public beach down a bit where there were quite a few umbrellas, but no one around where we were. Very nice! The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet as well. Communicating with the host was very easy and she always responded. We had a great vacation and will definitely be back.

Easily one of the best Airbnb stays that we’ve had. The photos don’t do it justice, it looks like one of the popular home decor magazines. Everything you could think of was available. From the appliances to the linens, everything was high-end. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Bradenton!

My flight got in earlier than expected and Caroline was very accommodating in letting me get into the unit earlier. The place was as pictured and very clean. She had a binder with lists of recommended places and activities to do while there. Very appreciative of Caroline and absolutely loved my stay.

Great value for money! Walkable to restaurants and coffee shops, safe neighborhood, clean quiet space.

The house was clean and neat and well stocked with what we needed. Area was very nice and close to the beach. The only complaint I have is that the porch needs to be replaced. It was very scary and dangerous to walk on. Steps could be better also, but the porch was BAD. Unfortunately it kept us from sitting out on it and enjoying the nice weather.

This place was great for what we needed. It was extremely clean and pretty spacious for being a studio type unit, also loved the private entrance and how close it was to the beach and plenty of restaurants nearby. And very fair priced, will definitely come back.

Outstanding host and place, definitely will book it again. Perfect location, peaceful environment. One block from ocean.

Cozy guest home, with all the right amenities you need when visiting Florida. Great location near downtown Bradenton as well!

My husband and I stayed two nights at Serenity of the Manatee. We really enjoyed this beautiful, peaceful, and cozy place that is only 30 to 35 minutes from beaches. The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed; however, a small stove will be a great addition for longer stays. We would definitely stay here again.

The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet. The place itself was clean and well furnished. Overall very comfortable stay!

Very quaint little town. We brought the bikes and were able to bike everywhere. Very peaceful with minimal crowds. Hit the spot on the get away we wanted. Thanks!

Scott’s place was very nice for a weekend. The location is perfect. The accès to the beach was fast. Scott’s place was very clean and looks exactly like the pictures . Very responsive for any questions or help. Recommended

We truly loved staying at this beautiful condo! It was super-super clean, modern-designed, had everything we needed, and even much more! Full spectrum of laundry/cleaning/bathroom supplies in abundance. The space is very cozy, stylish, and the location was really convenient - walking distance to Publix, good restaurants, and other useful places. Andrew and Angel are great hosts and kindest people! Responded immediately and positively to all our questions. Can’t wait to get back and stay here again! We feel lucky to find this place! Thank you Angel and Andrew!

I gave these people a five star review, even though we never got to stay there. Unfortunately, with hurricane Helene, it caused us from being able to even access the island. These people deserve a five star rating for the communication they kept up before the storm even hit and letting us know as soon as they knew, that we would not be able to stay there. They went above and beyond with communicating! Hoping that things could be recovered quickly for them and the rest of the island.

Great place to stay and so close to beach. We had such a great time will definitely book again.

Jean & Mike's beach condo on Anna Maria Island was a wonderful get-away for us after a very long winter. We loved the beach decor and all the little things that made us feel welcome and comfortable. It had everything we needed for an awesome beach vacation - chairs, umbrella, towels and a cool beach cart to carry our stuff. The pristine beach was only about 300 steps away. The condo itself had everything we needed. The bed and couches were comfy; the master bath spacious; the kitchen well-equipped. We enjoyed eating on the screened porch that overlooked a small park and being able to walk to nearby stores and restaurants. We loved watching the sunset from "our" beach or at the AMI Beach Cafe down the beach while listening to live music. Jean was a great host. She responded quickly to our questions and had plenty of recommendations on things to do and places to eat. Jean & Mike's place is one of the best AirBnBs we've stayed at and will definitely consider it the next time we visit AMI.

This was a great place and had everything you needed! My family really enjoyed it and the host was amazing to work with and responded back really fast! I would go back here!! Also the beach, omg it’s beautiful!! White sandy beaches, beautiful blue water, we even found whole sand dollars!! Worth checking out and staying!!!

Awesome vacation! Literally just steps to the beach, with front row seats to the clear green/blue ocean and magnificent sunsets. The condo was comfortable and lovely with everything we needed. Dan & Crystal were wonderfully communicative and offered great local suggestions too. Perfect mix of a peaceful and fun getaway... Highly recommend!
