This property is one block from the exciting shops and restaurants of Bridge Street and the Bradenton Beach Pier, yet nestled away from the noise and traffic on a quiet no-traffic street. New landscaping compliments your incredible water access. A home office with high-speed wireless, 55" LCD panel and extra seating let's you get in some work while you play. And an enclosed laundry room with new washer/dryer (2024) helps you clean up in comfort. This is not a shared property; you have exclusive use of the entire property and pier. The upper unit has all new furniture, bedding, linens, flat-screen televisions, refrigerator, microwave and a 1 Gbit/s high-speed internet connection for those looking to telework in a warm and welcoming climate. We (the owners) can confirm great connectivity with national services like Amazon Workspaces, Microsoft Azure and other cloud-based environments. Or better yet - tell your boss the internet was broken and you couldn't work on vacation. We won't tell! You will have a two-minute walk to the historic Bridge Street pier and entertainment district. Enjoy nightly live music, drinks, shopping and people watching or fish off the public pier any time without a license. Our private pier is great for fishing. We have pulled keeper grouper, snapper, mullet, trout, snook and redfish in our pajamas. If you cast net, you can score bait for offshore trip or even pull some mullet for dinner - our ten-year-old can score 4-5 large mullet in one throw of a net. Send us pictures of you doing even better! Our pier will accommodate large boats up to 40 foot, in water that is more than 4-5 foot at low tide, with a 4-corner tie-up. This can save you hundreds - or even a thousand - per week in marina fees. Our street is adjacent to a public marina, which means - unlike every other stretch of Bay water in Bradenton Beach - you will have access to a deep channel and the ICW without risk of getting grounded. There are only 7 such properties in Bradenton Beach, and you will have exclusive use of one. Our parking can accommodate trailers up to 40'. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Apartment (2 Bedrooms) | Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113520000/113514700/113514649/1e85bc34.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 Blocks to Beach: Tropical Retreat in Anna Maria Anna Maria - Kitchen - Washing machine - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-05&endDate=2026-03-06&selected=113514649&PinnedHotelID=113514649&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Apartment (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113520000/113514800/113514715/56222607.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fish, Swim & Unwind: Anna Maria Apt Steps to Beach Anna Maria - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-05&endDate=2026-03-06&selected=113514715&PinnedHotelID=113514715&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Apartment (2 Bedrooms) | Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93540000/93532500/93532492/6ddacbc4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Covered Deck & Bay Views: Bradenton Beach Abode!

Found this little gem on VRBO. It’s directly on the bay. Great location. It’s a bit different when you get inside but very cool. They have it set up nicely. A couple things to watch out for. If you don’t like stairs this isn’t the place for you. Master shower takes some maneuvering to get in and out of. Besides that it was good. ##### Dan C.

The owners are incredible. We came in the day before Tropical Storm Debby and they made sure we stayed safe and were very accommodating when we felt we needed to leave the property until water levels went down. The house is very quaint and had everything we needed. Our son loved having the dock in his backyard and fished morning & night. He caught a lot of catfish,pin fish, mangrove snapper, toad fish and a blue crab! ##### Ericka S.

Restaurants within walking distance. Walkable to beach. Short drive to restaurants, public beaches, CVS, Publix, etc. Ceiling fan in bedroom needs to be fixed or replaced.

On the Bay to watch the pelicans, egrets and other birds, the boats traveling by, gorgeous sunrises. Easy walking distance-even with recent knee surgery—to a nice white, sandy beach. Also an easy walk to Bridge Street shops and restaurants. A few glitches due to damage caused by Hurricane Milton and Helene—permanent fix to internet and power while we were there, but our host kept us up to date and communicated all the way through. Even though the dock hadn’t been completely repaired after the hurricane damage, there were still fish to be caught. Cottage was well provisioned, washer and dryer were clean and easy to use, new bbq delivered shortly after we arrived, comfortable outdoor furniture to sit by the bay and watch the boats. One highlight was watching the drawbridge going up for some of the taller boats…gorgeous sailboats, commercial fishing boats, yachts, sportfishing boats, barges, all the pretty boats. We loved our month in Bradenton Beach at the cottage! ##### joan T. Stayed 29 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy S. 29 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem! We found our new vacation property! We've stayed at several properties on the island the last few years and love everything this place has to offer. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and it was great to have two full bathrooms. The location is perfect! It is walking distance to the beach and Bridge street. The unit is literally on the bay. We loved being able to sit by the dock and watch the boats in the bay and the bridge go up and down. There is a lot of outdoor seating options & you have a perfect view of the sunrise from the upper deck porch or the patio/dock. Jonsie and Patrick were excellent communicators. We are already looking forward to our next visit to the area and will definitely stay here for all of our future visits! ##### Amy S. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kim s. 29 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Long weekend getaway Darling property, right on the bay, close to everything. Very clean. Loved sitting down by the bay and watching the dolphin and pelicans. We were able to walk everywhere. Bridge street is a 2 min walk. Gulf, 5 min walk. Very comfortable couch/ tv area. Our friends were able to pull right up to the dock to pick us up one day. Great perk! Owner optimized every square inch of the property! Management is very responsive. We went out for all our meals. Kitchen is small but adequate for a couple. We would have liked a larger coffee pot but the keurig was an added bonus. There isn’t a dishwasher, this too was fine with us as we didn’t dirty many dishes. We will definitely be back! Loved this lovely bayside property! ##### kim s. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Erica M. 12 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Bradenton Beach property Loved the location to downtown Bradenton and the beach. The location to the bridge made it a little louder than I would have liked for a quiet relaxing vacation. The property appears much larger outside than inside. The actual home is small. The kitchen was very tiny and made it difficult to cook and to purchase food as there was no storage space available. The microwave was on top of the fridge which I could not reach without being on a step stool (which is provided). The master bedroom "hot tub" was a jacuzzi tub that did not work. The laundry room was located outside of the house under the staircase. That made it very difficult to do laundry when you come home from a day at the beach. Fishing was great. Contact with the property manager was excellent. We ran into a couple plumbing problems and they offered to fix it right away. Overall great experience. ##### Erica M.

Accommodations were good, although the layout is a bit difficult to maneuver. My biggest complaint was with the unsafe conditions. This was primarily because of the windows in the unit. At one point when I tried to close the window behind the couch, the top released from the casing and hit me in the face causing a significant cut on my nose and bruising on my cheek. Another time, a window in my daughters bedroom swung open from the casing without being touched. I told Jonsie about this and she mentioned that they tried fixing the windows in the past with new latches. Obviously they are still not working correctly. When I suggested I should get some sort of reimbursement for what happened, she never responded and I haven't heard from her since. There were also other safety issues with multiple broken floor tiles throughout the unit. Walking barefoot through the unit is at your own risk. If you decide to stay here, be careful. ##### joel b.

It was close to everything we wanted to do and had everything you need for a day at the beach including a cart to haul it with! We will securely be back and have even recommended it to our friends! ##### Barbra S.
