65 5-star ratings for Beach-view Bridgeport condo says it all! Perfect location next to Beach+Restaurants+Bridge Street+Free Trolley with Large Pool!! Relax...

End perfect day w/ walk across the street to BeachHouse Restaurant or a couple blocks south to "Hot spot" Bridge Street dinner!
The Sunset View Retreat is located in the highly valued Bridgeport Condos. Sightings along the Gulf of Mexico beach and inter-coastal waterway include Manatees, Rays, Dolphins, many kinds of fish, huge Pelicans, Blue Herons, Egrets, Osprey, Terns, Gulls, and other amazing creatures. Some people even get married at the beach area and stay in the home with family! Common sites along the beach areas include Sea Turtle nests and bird nesting sanctuaries during special times of the year.
“Anna Maria Island’s Hot Spot” is now Historic Bridge Street on Bradenton Beach, the southernmost city of Anna Maria Island. Bridge Street, where the original wooden bridge was the only means of access to the island, where a beautiful fishing pier is in its place today, leading to an active street where you can Shop~Dine~Play from beach to bay. Bridge Street offers a walkable community with spectacular water views from the both the pier and the gulf beach and only a couple blocks from Beach View Retreat.
The Beach View Retreat offers everything you need for your beach stay! Just bring your food, clothing and toiletries. Beach chairs, beach umbrella, and beach toys for the kids are available in our garage level storage room including beach chairs and toys. Dishes, pots, pans, linens and towels are all provided - just bring your swimsuit and enjoy!

In less than 2 minutes, you will be spending your day on the beach, or venture out a bit further and hang out fishing in one of the many great spots nearby. Sightings along the Gulf of Mexico beach and inter-coastal waterway include Manatees, Rays, Dolphins, many kinds of fish, a wide variety of birds, and other amazing creatures. Common sights along the beach areas include Sea Turtle nests and bird nesting sanctuaries during special times of the year. Once in a while, you’ll come across a Gulf-side wedding!
While some prefer the isolation of the nearby beaches, others opt toward more people at the public beaches. If that is your desire, venture to Coquina Beach at the south end of Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island, or Manatee County Beach at the west end of Manatee Avenue in Holmes Beach, or Anna Maria Pier at the east end of Pine Avenue for the intercoastal/Tampa Bay access. Anna Maria Pier is a special place where many times you can see fish, rays, dolphins, and manatees swimming underneath you as well as fish from the dock and have a nice meal or an ice cream cone at Two Scoops Ice Cream Shop. (The Pier is currently under repair, Winter 2017.)
If you're in the mood to tour around the rest of the island, catch the free trolley around the corner and it will take you to any of the beaches, restaurants, shops or grocery stores along Gulf Drive anywhere on Anna Maria Island. Take the trolley to the old historic Bridge Street area of Bradenton Beach to enjoy the Key West style restaurants and shops. If you enjoy painting or photography, the sunsets are among the best in the world.
Enjoy live music nightly and dinner at Manatee Public. By timing it right (usually 7 pm), you can enjoy sea creature (fish, eel, and shark) feeding by the owner while enjoying Ice Cream at Holy Cow Ice Cream.
A lovely sunrise can be enjoyed along the Coquina Baywalk. Bean Point and Coquina Beach are great beaches to visit along with Sunset Park next to our home.
Just across the Cortez bridge on the south side of the island, is the old school Florida fishing village of Cortez, where restaurants have excellent seafood and some have live music. Swordfish Grill is our favorite on the dock.
We have 3 favorites for breakfasts: 1) Rod & Reel Pier, 2) Ginny's & Jane E's, and 3) The Donut Experiment (fun for the kids but not completely filling).
Eco tours and on the Gulf and Intercoastal via boats, kayaks and jet skis are always nice. The Ringling Museum in Sarasota is great.
The Regina is a sugar barge that sunk just off our beach during a storm in 1940. It is in about 20 feet of water just 150 feet or so off the beach. It is marked with a buoy. The Regina is 10th Florida Shipwreck Underwater Archaeological Preserve.
There is a small reef of rocks about 150 feet northwest from the Sunset Park Beach directly west of our home. I like to swim out to it and then dive down 8-10 feet to see colorful fish like the striped Sheepshead, etc.
Our kids love going to the Bridge Street Pier or taking the free trolley just outside the door up to Anna Maria Pier and looking for fish in the water (especially in the morning to early afternoon when you can see well through the clear water), talking to the fisherman, and eating at the restaurant or getting ice cream at Two Scoops. The Blueberry Pie ice cream is my favorite... The Trolley stops every 20 minutes from about 6 am to 10 pm.
Come enjoy the unbelievable location of the Beach View Retreat near corner of Gulf & Cortez!
The whole home is yours. You will have a great time including sitting on the covered patio listening to the waves of the Gulf of Mexico lapping up on the beach.
The best way to find our home is through your GPS system or an online map system. The address of the home is:
Beach View Retreat
501 Gulf Drive North
Suite 203
Bradenton Beach, FL 34217
Park across from the stairwell in space #203 under the west building side closest to the beach and Gulf Drive.
Walk up stairs or take the elevator across the parking lot to the top floor to Suite 203 in the northwest corner of the building.
There are two main bridges across from the mainland to Anna Maria Island. Cortez Bridge is on Cortez Rd right next to the home. Manatee Avenue is the other bridge but two miles north of the home so once you get across the bridge, turn left = south on Gulf Drive to 501 Gulf Drive North at the corner of Cortez Rd. As most key islands in southwest Florida, the island is very narrow east to west so the main road going north to south is Gulf Dr.
Please use only 2 parking spaces. One dedicated parking space for Suite 203 is on the west side of the building next to Gulf Drive. There may be one other parking space with the parking hanger near the swimming pool. For that space, only park in a space that is NOT marked with a designated number, which are committed to that home owner. Remember that the second space is "First Come, First Serve." Thanks!!
If you're in the mood to tour around the rest of the island, catch the free trolley around the corner and it will take you to any of the beaches, restaurants, shops or grocery stores along Gulf Drive most anywhere on Anna Maria Island all the way from Coquina Beach at the south end to Pine Avenue and Anna Maria Pier at the north end. Take the trolley one stop down (or stroll along the beach the one mile) to the old historic Bridge Street area of Bradenton Beach to enjoy the Key West style restaurants and shops. If you enjoy painting or photography, the sunsets are among the best in the world.

The view is amazing, could use some small updates to bring it all up to excellent. Host is very responsive to inquiries. It’s obvious some residents do not like short term renters staying for vacation, but that’s to be expected with older residents. Great area and friendly host.

The view was stunning. The condo was clean and pretty. The only thing I did not like was the traffic noise on Saturday night. Boy, AMI likes to use their horns. The place is in walking distance from The Kokonut Hut and Wicked Cantina, which are my favorite. The Beach House Restaurant is on the opposite side in walking distance. Beach access is convenient and directly across from the condo. Great location to watch the sunset!

My family (mom, dad, daughter age 16, son age 12 had a wonderful time. The condo was very clean and the PERFECT location. Being able to walk to the beach in literally a minute was amazing! We will definitely be back!

Trip was enjoyable. We have been to the island 5 times in the last 4 years. The location of the condo is located on the busiest intersection to get into the island… so sitting outside trying to have a normal conversation is near impossible. Beach is across the street which was nice and convenient although was always a pain to cross the street. The heated pool is nice. The beds and furniture were beyond uncomfortable along with the linens and pillows. An serious upgrade is in order. We did have an issue with the storage locker as it would not open but the property manager had it handled promptly. All in all it was fine but for the price expected a little more.

This property is the perfect location! The beach across the street is absolutely wonderful. My kids loved the beach and most of the time there were only a few other people at the beach, so it was nice to have space to spread out. We did take the free trolley to get ice cream at two scoops which was good but generally we were at the beach. My daughter's enjoyed collecting shells and at one point we went snorkeling and found live sand dollars (which we put back in the ocean). We also saw dolphins jump out of the water! There are a lot of restaurants and things around which is nice but with kids aged 15, 6,3, and 1 my main objective was the beach. We did swim at the pool which was also nice. Everything was great! Hope to stay there again in the future!

We had a lovely time in AMI - The view was amazing. The place is big enough for 2 people and our dog. It was a little noisy on the patio as the traffic is pretty heavy but it really did not bother us, you didn't hear it inside. There is a lot to do within walking distance and there is a free trolley to go to other beaches. I would highly recommend this property.

Also, the area had quite a few restaurants that have Gluten Free menus. Rex was awesome and was very communicative, and the place was decorated for the holidays when we arrived(very nice touch!)!
Will definitely rent from Rex again either this property or another!

The property is fine.
Red tide is definitely not pleasant to contend with but we made the most of our trip!
