About this house rental
Gorgeous bay views from this beautifully furnished tropical retreat are waiting for you! Enjoy 180-degree panoramic views of Palma Sola Bay in this recently updated 3BR/2BA home! With over 150 feet of bay frontage located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this private tropical paradise is just what you have been looking for! Enjoy a dip in your private heated pool or watch nearby dolphins play while rejuvenating in the gas-heated hot tub. Don’t forget to bring your boat to your deep-water private slip!
Our standard rental is from Saturday to Saturday in the winter & spring seasons. In other months we rent for less than 7 nights and check-in/out days are flexible. Our calendar is up to date and will allow you to book less than 7 nights when allowed. Please feel free to contact us for shorter terms or different check-in/out days if not available on the calendar.
As you enter your vacation home, you will first notice the breathtaking views! Visitors have been known to audibly gasp when they first see this amazing view. Being on the point with the water just feet away, it is like you are on a private island with the water almost appearing to come into the house.
After absorbing the view, you will notice that the living area is a large open design with a coral fireplace in the center with realistic LED flames. There is ample seating at the large six-person dining table and, for a more casual meal, sit at one of the two bars. Enjoy the large-screen television while comfortably seated in one of the reclining sofas or living room chairs. The house is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi and three cable televisions.
The open kitchen is well equipped with all you need to enjoy your fresh catch at home, and you can store the leftovers in one of the two full-sized refrigerators.
Wake up in your master bedroom to bay views, or enjoy your morning cup of joe on the lanai through your private access. The master bedroom has a comfortable king-size bed and a large-screen television. The newly renovated spacious master bath has two sinks, a large shower, and a walk-in closet.
The second bedroom is equipped with a queen-size bed and television, while the third bedroom has two full-size beds with bunks aloft. These bedrooms share a bath with a combination tub and shower.
As you enter the pool deck you will be able to completely take in the panoramic views that this arched bayfront lot provides. Frolicking dolphins are commonly seen, as well as occasional manatees. Armed with a few live shrimp, you can catch fish for hours right from the dock! The expansive deck has plenty of seating both in the sun and covered for any occasion. Enjoy the hot spa or heated pool 365 days a year (an additional fee of $25/night applies for heated pool). Whether it is morning or night you will find yourself spending most of the time in this beautiful setting.
Continuing from the deck, you will find a large dock with a 30-foot walk-around slip (although larger vessels can be accommodated). Easy tie-up with no bridges makes this deep-water dock ideal for those bringing their boat. The dock has recently been renovated with power, lights, water, and a fish-cleaning table for your convenience. Trailer parking can be arranged for a minimal fee at a nearby marina.
Our vacation getaway is located 2.5 miles from the gorgeous Anna Maria Island beaches. Nestled between Anna Maria Island and Bradenton, in just a few minutes you can be on the beach or go into town for a Walmart run. There are plenty of great places to dine, shop, and enjoy the sunny west coast of Florida.
We tried to think of everything you will need for your vacation paradise, including high-speed internet, a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, beach towels, a 2-car garage, and even games for the whole family to enjoy! All you need to bring is your bathing suit and some sunscreen!

First time at this house but it won't be the last. Boating was very central to gas, bait, food, ICW & the BAY. Very easy waterway access. The house, pool & hot tub were spot on. The owner was prompt and professional to questions before and during our stay.
GREAT PLACE

The property is lovely. We were able to enjoy the pool, view and dock. We saw manatees, dolphins and lots of fish right from the dock.

We had an amazing stay early June coming from Colorado. It was a perfect set up for our family of 7 (5 kids) who could swim, fish off the dock (including a bonnethead shark), and enjoy relaxation time. The house was close to beaches, restaurants and exploring the area. Owners were super helpful and easily accessible. We could not have asked for a better place to create memories. Thank you.

This is a beautiful home and property right on the point of the inlet. You sit on the back porch and watch dolphins go by, boating dock was very accessible and easy to use. Owners were in contacts and very communicative which made this stay feel comfortable. Would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a peaceful vacation!

Normally we stay on the beach but we didn't even miss it. This place was exceptional. Great views, nice deck area around the pool, and house was perfect for us. Very clean. Owner was great when I had questions. Saw dolphins around the dock every day of our stay.

The property was great. It is situated at the end of a very quiet street in a nice neighborhood. The view was amazing. There was fishing equipment on site. I was able to spend some time fishing off the dock and caught small grouper and sheepshead. The house was great. The communication from the host was great. Check-in was super-easy. The location was good because you are situated between the city of Bradenton and a short drive to the beaches. I would definitely stay here again.

The property was as advertised and the views were even better! My family really enjoyed the pool, hot tub, fire pit, views, and fishing off the dock. Location is great near AMI.
The property manager was also great to work with!

Beautiful house, great location on a secluded culdesac that backs up to the Palma Sola Bay. 5 minutes to Cortez beach. Excellent communication with the host.

Stayed at this property while recovering from surgery. Although it was quite windy during our time there and stormed a few days, the view was very nice. Watched the pelicans dive bombing into the bay to catch their food and then perch up on the dock. This place was just what we needed; my only wish is that the weather would have been accommodating to be able to enjoy it more.

We loved the house and accommodation. The outside space was amazing. We saw dolphins, loved the wildlife, and enjoyed watching the boats come and go. A quiet location. Absolutely fabulous. Gy was really helpful and responsive

The listing doesn’t do the property justice. Great location, the house is well decorated and very livable. The waterfront view, pool and hot tub were perfect. Saw dolphins swim under the dock one day and a manatee hanging out off the corner of the lot the next. Owners were great to deal with. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again if we’re back the area.
5.0
Gy was wonderful to work with. The check-in process was super easy and smooth. The property was just as beautiful as the pictures and did NOT disappoint😊. We were able to see dolphins on multiple occasions off the dock and beautiful beaches were just 5 minutes away. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay!

Our stay was absolutely amazing! The property made us feel that we stepped into our own piece of paradise. The property was spotless and very well maintained. We swam in the beautiful pool and sat and enjoyed the hot tub. We enjoyed smores over the firepit and drank our morning coffee on the while watching the many dolphins. We enjoyed catching and releasing many kinds of fish. We never wanted to leave. We will absolutely be back to make even more treasured Memories.

This home was perfect for our family of four. The check-in process was easy, the home was spotless and it had everything we needed for the beach and pool. The neighborhood is quiet and the home is so close to Anna Maria Island, Lido Key, Sarasota, etc. We were able to travel across the bridge and onto Anna Maria Island in approximately five minutes with no traffic or problems. The best part of the home is the location on the Palma Sola Bay. We saw dolphins every day, multiple times per day. Sometimes they would come right up to the dock and swim just a few feet from where we were standing. We also loved the manatee visits and the resident pelicans and cormorants who visited every day. We swam in the pool both day and night. We watched the bay change colors as the storms rolled in (and quickly passed). This place is amazing. The wifi is great, the a/c is cool and comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked, and the grill works great! Communication with the owner was easy. Rent this home...it's worth it!

Love this house. Great views, very private and quite neighborhood!

Can’t say enough about the location of this property. House was as the listing portrays. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the back patio, pool and spa. Enjoyed having coffee on the patio watching the sun rise and watching it set in the evenings. It can get breezy and chilly out there on the bay, so we used the hot tub quite often. Had one issue with the hot tub during our stay and Gy had someone out the very next morning. He was very responsive and attentive. The kids caught tons of catfish and we saw dolphins nearly every day in the bay. Manatees showed up toward the end of our stay. It was only a short drive to the beach (depending on traffic conditions). Plenty of parking of Coquina Beach. We would love to return again some time.

From booking ...to stepping in the home...Wow....the views were amazing. We saw dolphins 3 times. The beds were very comfortable. The pool and hot tub was exactly what we needed for rest. It felt like we were on an island. Everything you would need to use is at this house. It's one of the best places we have ever stay. Just a couple miles to corte...coquina....or manatee beaches. Also....very close to town. We had food delivered one afternoon. We never left the house that day. Loved your home. We want to rent it again and bring 2 of our other family members.

We had the absolute BEST time as this was our first family vacation! The property was immaculate and the views were stunning. Thank you so much for sharing this gem with us as it was truly a dream come true for us all!
5.0
This home was clean and beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice. The location felt safe, convenient to explore the area and offered new dining experiences. The check in process was one of the best we’ve ever experienced - easy and accurate. Gy, the owner, was beyond accommodating and so easy to communicate with. We did have the pleasure off seeing dolphins nearly everyday, several times a day, right from the dock. We also saw manatees from the dock and while kayaking. We had a terrific vacation and would definitely recommend this owner and property.
