Bliss & Tonic Both - Sleeps 12 · 4BR · Bay Decks · Beach

4BR · 4BA · Sleeps 12 · Two Covered Bay Decks · Two Full Kitchens · Two Living Rooms · Kayak & Paddleboard Launch · Fishing Pier · Outdoor Shower · Gas Grill · 6-Car Parking · 5% Military Discount

Two complete homes. One address. Two blocks from the Gulf.

Bliss & Tonic Both is the full duplex — Bliss & Tonic Down and Bliss & Tonic Up rented together — giving large families, multi-generational groups, and reunion travelers the rare combination of shared space and private space under one roof. Four bedrooms. Four bathrooms. Two fully equipped kitchens. Two living rooms with 55" Smart TVs. Two covered bay decks where the morning coffee ritual happens at the same time, just one floor apart.

Each unit has its own master suite with a king bed and en-suite bath. Down's guest bedroom has a full and a twin. Up has a den with a trundle bed for additional guests. The living room sofa sleepers in both units mean the full property sleeps twelve comfortably — with a washer and dryer in each unit so the whole group can pack lighter and stay longer.

The bay decks are where Bliss & Tonic earns its reputation. Covered, spacious, and overlooking the Intracoastal — guests describe the mornings here as the best part of the trip. Dolphins and seabirds are regular visitors. In the evenings, the shared gas grill and outdoor shower round out the outdoor living setup that makes this property work for groups who want to spend time together without being on top of each other.

Steps from the property, a local park delivers what most vacation rentals can't: a kayak and paddleboard launch directly onto the Intracoastal Waterway, a fishing pier, a basketball court, and a playground. Guests have fished off the pier, launched kayaks before breakfast, and let the kids run the basketball court while dinner was on the grill — all without getting in the car.

The Gulf is two blocks away. Bridge Street is minutes out — Daiquiri Deck, Beach House, and the full stretch of Bradenton Beach's restaurants and shops within easy walking or trolley reach. Six off-street parking spaces means the whole group arrives in their own vehicles without coordinating.

A 5% military discount is available on both units — contact IVP directly to apply.

Bliss & Tonic Both requires a one-week minimum stay for the full duplex. Not pet-friendly.

*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due.

Very nice and cozy place.

Enjoyed our stay very much with our grown kids and grandchildren. Conveniently located to the beach and stores. Perfect for large family get togethers. We liked the 2 separate units for privacy when needed. Also felt very safe. Ample parking. Would stay there again!

Amazing family vacation

We had three generations of family stay at this beautiful property. Each unit was gorgeous and had everything we needed for a week long stay ( we brought our own little coffee pot when we saw you only had a keurig) the bottom unit ac was not working but a repairman was sent right away and soon had us cooled . Loved that the house had balconies on both sides of the house so we could see sunrises AND sunsets . We will definitely be back!

Wonderful!!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay for Spring Break with another family! We took the top unit and our friends were in the lower. It was immaculately clean, and the beds and linens were very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked well. We loved the location, just a few blocks from the beach. Our favorite was hanging out and playing cards on the porches. Our boys loved the nearby park for shooting hoops. Some suggestions would be a cart for hauling things to the beach, a few more towels, hand soap in the kitchen and bathrooms, and hooks to hang towels in the bathrooms. We had plenty of beach chairs which was much appreciated! Overall really great stay and we would highly recommend!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spent a week at this property in June 2025 - it was the perfect location and comfortably accommodated our group of 10 (ages 13-80). We loved that it was only steps from the beach or the bay, was super clean, and was very comfortable. Thanks for a great week!

Clean and comfortable house in a good location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented both the upper and lower unit for a multi generation family trip. The house was super clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for everyone. The location was quiet but only a 2 block walk to the beach access. We could see both the sound and ocean from the top floor! We loved it - a couple of minor plumbing issues were quickly resolved by the rental agency. We would stay again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Bliss and Tonic House was a perfect dwelling place for my family and I. We rented both condos for my big family and it was very spacious and accommodating even when we entertained our local family! The location was perfect with walk ability to the beach and local things around. The condos are kid friendly, clear and up to date with everything we needed. We hope to come back!

Spacious property with lots to offer…

Our family rented this property for two weeks with it offering various amenities including large places to store vehicles, golf carts, and beach equipment, and large living spaces including its deck outlooking the beautiful soound and ocean and the friendly quiet surrounding neighborhood. The house including a excellent sleep arrangement being able to sleep our family and friends of 9, and having the capability to sleep more utilizing the pull-out couch. The house was able to serve us providing all kitchen amenities, all linen amenities providing us with many towels for the beach. The house had spacious food storage with us being able to store food upstairs and down. The beach equipment wasn’t very useful to us but we decided to rent new equipment locally. We had no problems with the house, and we had a great vacation stay at bliss and tonic.

Roomy w/ Great Views of the Bay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family split both units with friends. Our family of 7 fit very comfortably in the upper unit! My husband & I shared a master, 3 kids shared the 2nd bedroom, and 2 kids comfortably shared the little room off the porch that included the twin w/ trundle! We were so grateful for the extra space! We had stayed in Dolphin Dance last year, and while that one had an ideal, near-beach-front location, it was a little cramped. Bliss & Tonic has the perfect amount of space to accommodate a larger party! The condo was well-stocked with towels + the needed essentials at arrival, and the washer/dryer worked amazingly. The pantry was HUGE & easily fit our food. The closets were also large & spacious. The location was a quick 2 blocks to the beach, & we loved biking to restaurants & stores! Our friends rented the lower unit. Their AC went out the first day & a half, but IVP was very prompt in sending over a maintenance man to make repairs. They were also very prompt at any other requests we had. Our friends on the lower unit had this to share: "The condo was well-equipped with plenty of towels (including beach & bath) & kitchen supplies. We loved all the windows and light. The porches & porch furniture were great. The condo was thoughtfully decorated & included plenty of storage. We loved the beach wagon & supplies. Truly, we only needed to pack a carry-on suitcase & arrive for a week of beach fun. The condo was just a few blocks from the beach as well as a local park (bring a basketball for the basketball court!). It was a quiet street. My only suggestion would be for the owners to renovate the porch to enclose part of it into a bedroom on the first floor condo to match the 2nd floor condo. We really could have used that extra bed/room that our friends had upstairs. Other than that, we loved the layout--so open, airy, & easily accessible."Note: The lower unit was a little bothered by loud footsteps from the upper unit. The sound reverberated.
