Waterfront vacation rentals in Bradenton

We LOVED our stay at One Shell Cove, and hope to be back! You couldn't ask for a more beautiful location or view. The kitchen was so well-appointed that we chose to buy fresh shrimp and grouper and eat outside while listening to the waves crash. The entire condo was spotless, and the king bed was comfortable. We used the beach chairs provided and swam in the perfect Gulf waters. The condo is walking distance from a Circle K and several restaurants. Although it's on a public beach, the area was quiet and peaceful and we were not disturbed. I would highly recommend this condo and its wonderful Host!

Cute as a button! Super homie! Steps to the beach! Had everything we needed. The place was just as described and walkable to almost everything. Great location! Fabulous house! We will definitely be coming back to stay with Debra. The sunroom is absolutely the best spot in the house!

Such a great location! The breeze trolley stops right out front and made it super easy to get around. The place was super clean and quiet. The pool right out the door was perfect! We plan on coming back next year and will for sure stay in one of Lisa’s properties. She was so easy to communicate with and very responsive. Loved our stay!

Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—just steps from the beach with stunning views and peaceful surroundings. Cindy was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend

If you’re looking for an ocean get away, this place is perfect. The view is gorgeous with super easy beach access. Absolutely stunning views of the ocean from the balcony. The inside is simple and inviting with local recommendations provided. Would absolutely stay again!

Perfection! Scott was such a responsive and accommodating host. Scott knew we had an early flight, and he let us check in as soon as their place was ready. Scott even made sure there was a pack n play for our little one, which exceeded our expectations. The location directly on the beach made sunsets after a busy day so relaxing. We got to see a lot of seabirds and dolphins right from the balcony. Everything we needed was there. The place was very clean throughout with a fully functioning kitchen and all necessary beach supplies. We made unforgettable memories for our first Florida family vacation, and we could not have asked for a better location with the best host. Thank you so much!

Had a great time staying here! We can for a long weekend and Lara was super helpful to accolade us for showing up early and wanting to get our beach vacation started! The until was so cute and perfect for 2 people. The beach is literally steps from your door. Made it easy to go back and forth if we forgot something inside or if we needed to take a couple trips to get all of our beach gear set up. There wasn’t a ton to do near on treasure island so we took a quick 20 minute uber into St. Pete’s which has so much to do, great restaurants, and awesome night life!

love the place and Staci!! I recommend it to a friend!

Stop what you are doing and BOOK THIS PLACE!! Clean and spacious home ✔️ Fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, glasses, condiments, spices, etc) ✔️ Tons of amenities like hot tub, fire pit, egg chairs, hibachi grill, golfing area, etc ✔️ All the beach equipment that you need (chairs, tent, snorkel, masks) ✔️ PLUS the best Host who was always quick to respond to any questions and even installed a new thermostat while we were there because the old one was messing up the temp and we like a cool 70 degrees at home ✔️ And if that wasn’t amazing enough, the host also took us on TWO BOAT TRIPS!!! All we paid for was the gas and any drinks or snacks that we wanted to bring (plus a tip since the boat tours were the highlight of the trip). Vlad knew all the best spots for private island time, snorkeling, and dolphin watching!! In all honesty I spent a fair amount of time trying to decide if I wanted to write an accurate review or gatekeep this hidden gem… I decided not to gatekeep.

We had such an incredible time staying at this property! It has everything! Plenty to do even on rainy days. Can’t say enough about it. We had 8 adults and a baby and king beds for everyone which is hard to find. So private in the back yard and unique!

beautiful inside and out! Loved the lake view and the wonderful outdoor furniture ! Highly recommend! I will be back for sure!

Our stay was amazing! We planned a getaway with friends to one of our favorite spots—Anna Maria Island and Bradenton Beach—and this Airbnb was perfect. Two of us arrived early, and the host was incredibly responsive and flexible, allowing us to check in two hours early. That was a huge help after our flight, and we really appreciated the clear instructions and thoughtful local recommendations. The house was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. We loved the pool, grill, and the fact that beach chairs and towels were provided—it made everything so easy. The space was perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with friends. Thank you for the warm hospitality and making our trip so memorable. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing beach escape!

Claudia’s place was one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at while visiting AMI. The home was beautiful and the master bedrooms en suite felt like your own personal spa! If you’re traveling with babies or toddlers there is no safety fence around the pool, but there are alarms on every door leading out to the pool area. Claudia was very accommodating and even let us to check in early which allowed us to have a whole extra day to enjoy the pool. We really enjoyed our stay here and we highly recommend booking with Claudia!

This place is a GEM! We had an incredible time. The place looks like new, its super clean, and very well located. The backyard facing the water, with the hot tub and the dock was absolutely amazing. Mara’s house had everything we needed, fully equipped kitchen, beach chairs and umbrella, a speaker, even tanning lotion and repellent. It’s like if she thought of everything. The place was very close to ana maria island, to the boat ramps, to bradenton beach. We truly enjoyed our stay and recommend it 100%. Hope to be back soon.

what a great Arbnb. Cliff and Sue's place was great and will definitely stay again when we go back to the Sarasota area. Exceeded our expectations. Truly felt like home away from home. If anyone needs a great place to stay while in the Sarasota area this is the place to be. Centrally located to all places. Anna Maria Island was just 20 min away, same with Sarasota downtown and about 30 minutes to St. Armand's Circle. Siesta Key was also about 30-40 minutes away. Very close also to the sky bridge leading to the St Pete/Clearwater beaches area. House was pristine, very clean with all the essentials you need to begin your stay. Loved the 'take a little leave a little' touch where guests can leave (instead of throwing away) some of the essentials needed in the house. Thank you Cliff and Sue for a great stay. There isn't one thing I can negatively say about this Arbnb.

Thanks so much for a wonderful place to stay during our vacation! This was our first time in the Bradenton/AMI area, and we were blown away by this house. It was gorgeous, super spacious, and had everything we needed. Jeff and Shandra were amazing hosts - they responded to our messages super quickly whenever we had questions. The area itself is so charming and serene. The pool was perfect after a day at the beach. We used the kayaks a few times and even spotted some dolphins! We’d definitely come back and stay here again!

David’s home exceeded our expectations and was an excellent choice for our stay. It was conveniently located near all the beaches, restaurants, groceries, and shops, but not in the midst of the bustling city center. David even provided us with a variety of beach essentials and even bikes for our convenience. The home was spotlessly clean and well-stocked with blankets, towels, and cookware and dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning in the future.

I escaped MN to find this hidden gem! It was everything I could have asked for and more! I enjoyed the pool throughout my stay and catched a glimpse of a few dolphins. The bed was extremely comfortable and the unit was quiet. There was SPF and aloe in the bathroom cabinet which was perfect because I needed both! Walmart is a short uber away for all of your grocery needs. Doc’s next door was great to walk to for a quick dinner and drinks. The only hiccup I experienced was that pest control needed to enter the unit to spray and didn’t give Alison much notice so she could ensure I was out of the unit. I can’t wait to come back to this gem next year!

the only few little issues for us was not having enough trash bags and paper towels to last the week for 4 people. We were given 2 trash bags and 1 small roll of paper towels. Also, no coffee pods for the keurig, which was disappointing. Otherwise it was a very nice place to stay. nice quiet condo. do plan on renting a vehicle, especially if you have kiddos.

The location was close to everything we needed. The apartment was quiet, clutter free, clean, and comfortable. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen had enough dishes for our needs. We really appreciate that it’s dog friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at the Westwind was great. Very clean and up to date amenities. Had everything you need to head to the beach including beach chairs, coolers, and towels. Everything was very positive. Just as described and pictured.

Totally exceeded my expectations!!! Rosana was amazing! Her condo was exquisite. Loved the personal touches and hospitality that was extended. Can't wait to come back!!!

Heidi and her place is the the most organized and best operated Airbnb we stayed at. Starting with communication from the moment we booked to very last detail. The place has everything you will ever need, very clean. Beach is right out of the door, pool is great and plenty of floaties, boogie boards and toys for kids. Heidi ordered new pack n’play for our infant, left drinks in the fridge and first morning surprised us with muffins and juice left at our door. Plenty of recommendations and very friendly communication through out the stay and beyond.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Daniel’s condo in Bradenton. It was very clean, updated, quiet,and spacious with great amenities in the complex. We highly recommend this rental to couples or families. Daniel also provided perfect communication and local recommendations. Very convenient area with great access to grocery and 15 minutes to beaches at Anna Maria Island.
