We had a great time at this property. We had three separate families and had plenty of room for everyone. The proximity to entertainment on the island was phenomenal! Would highly recommend.
This house had everything you need and then some, its beautiful views on the river to the sunset views on the roof to all the added features inside made this a memorable rental vacation. Will definitely look to rent again in the future.
The house was amazing. It was great to be on the water so the kids could fish and watch the boats including many dolphins sightings!! It was a short walk to town and the beach. The house had everything and it was fun to watch the sunset from the top level. We will definitely be back!!
The house couldn’t have been more perfect!! It was clean, and was just as described in the listing. The proximity to the beach and all the shops and restaurants were all walkable. Such a cute area! First time staying in the area, and we will be back!
Had a wonderful time at this home. We had a party of 14, so everyone had a room to sleep in and en-suite bathroom which was amazing! The pool was phenomenal. Alternating days at the beach and the pool was perfect! The short walk to Bridge street for dinner, drinks, ice cream and souvenir shopping made for the perfect spring break.
The house is even better than described - it seems like everything is brand new. Every bedroom is beautiful and there are more bathrooms than we could count. The pool/hot tub area is amazing. The location is perfect - just steps from Bridge Street and the pier, and a short walk to the beach. The area is very safe and family oriented. Bradenton Beach is in the process of recovering from the hurricane and their progress is remarkable. Many restaurants and shops are open and eager to do business. We would definitely return here again!
We had the opportunity to stay in Bayfront Retreat over the long holiday weekend. The house was big enough to share with 4 families and offered plenty of room for both kids and adults to spread out. The dock allowed us to bring our boats, the location on the waterway was perfect and the pool provided endless hours of entertainment both during the day and at night. Communication with the rental team was great and they were available whenever we needed. We would highly recommend this property and look forward to visiting again in the future!
House is far more beautiful and spacious than the pictures. Every room having a bathroom is priceless! Note: 1 bedroom a queen, not king. Having beach towels, beach chairs and beach carts was so helpful! Several places to eat within walking distance, along with beach access 3 blocks away. And the pool! Lovely! We didn’t catch many fish, but it was nice having the dock right there. We would definitely stay again!
The property worked perfectly for our family reunion! Very seldom do you find a large rental house where every bedroom has its own bathroom. The house had just that and it was a perfect reflection of the pictures posted online. We could walk to a number of restaurants for dinners allowing us to never access our vehicles. The only time we needed to drive was to hit the grocery store only 2.5 miles up the road. We would 100% return to this property in the future.
We were all so excited when we entered the home. The pictures don't do it justice! It's bigger than we expected and was well kept. We were all very pleased with this home and definitely recommend to anyone thinking about staying here. The management company was also excellent to deal with. We had a little issue with the elevator (probably user error) and they were there to fix it so quick we couldn't believe it! They were definitely great to deal with!
I’ve stayed in mini VRBO properties. The property manager at this location Hass to be the best. We arrived on Sunday evening and had trouble with the elevator. That was one of the biggest factors in our decision to rent this house. I called the property manager and someone came over Sunday evening. The pictures online were very accurate and everything in the house was fabulous. If you ever plan to go to Anna Maria Island/Bradenton Beach rent this property.
The view and location were perfect. Unfortunately the elevator was not working the entire time, one of the main reasons we chose the house for my parents. Also the pool lights/heat/spa werent not working so the little ones couldnt enjoy the pool due to temperature/safety at night.
Stayed in this beautiful home for three nights and the accommodation was everything we could have hoped for. Property was well maintained and the location was right on the waterfront. Our whole family loved the pool area and the roof terrace provides an exceptional vista of Anna Maria Island, the harbour and the Gulf of Mexico. A truly beautiful property!
The heater for the pool and hot tub was not working properly when we got there. The hot tub drained completely several times. Heater finally worked after a technician came out late in the evening.
