About this house rental
Come and enjoy this beautiful house in the small and peaceful boutique neighborhood “Heron’s Watch” in West Bradenton, only 3 miles from the famous beaches on the Gulf of Mexico.
Villa Sandpiper offers many lovely details. The overall decor is beachy with European touches in calm colors and home owners continue to update the home, most recent changes include new interior paint and floor tile in 2020.
Relax in the bright and airy living/dining area with its high ceilings and watch TV on the 55” screen with sound bar. Free long-distance phone (within the US) and 200 MB Internet WiFi keep you connected to those who had to stay at home.
Sip a drink on the screened-in patio and have a barbecue by the gorgeous new heated pool (fully caged).
After a good night’s sleep in the king size bed step out of the master suite through sliding doors onto the patio/pool area. The large en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower was remodeled end of 2019 and offers a double sink and tub, and together with a walk-in closet makes this bedroom a luxurious retreat.
The second bedroom has a queen bed, dresser and wall closet, the third features two twins in XL size (an additional 5” as compared to normal twin beds) in which adults will also feel very comfortable.
All mattresses are of superior quality, back supporting and with natural, breathable bamboo fiber.
The second bathroom has a bathtub/shower combination, vanity and wall closet.
All towels are of high quality from Pottery Barn and if you need to wash/dry them, use the fully equipped laundry room.
The kitchen is very well equipped with new countertops of elegant granite and the stainless steel appliances are of high quality.
The garage offers space for one car inside, more parking for up to 2 cars is available on the driveway in front of the home. Also available are some pool toys by the outside pool bench, or beach chairs inside the garage.
Shopping for groceries is an easy task, as you will find several big stores nearby. You don’t want to cook dinner? Many of your favorite cuisine restaurants are only a very short drive away. Finally, Sandpiper's location is also ideal for all golfers and athletes alike, as IMG Academy and multiple golf courses are nearby!
NOTE: There is 1 parking space inside the garage.
Maximum Parking: 3 vehicles

The property is in a quiet safe neighborhood and is a 10 minute drive to the beach. Perfect for families. The pool was clean and enjoyable. The house is well stocked with amenities and beautifully decorated. The cleanest rental we have stayed in so far, you will not be disappointed. Treat yourself and family.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. I always look for certain things when searching for a house and this one met our criteria. So, if you are like me and do this also…
1. Cleanliness ✔️
2. Plenty of space ✔️
3. Nice showers (weird I know, but I like a good shower lol) ✔️
4. Decent size pool ✔️ (a must with 4 kids lol)
5. Beach stuff ✔️ (this is another must for us because we fly in. So, if there is not any beach supplies I move on to the next house. Would have been helpful to have had a beach buggy to carry everything, but I was just grateful for what we did have).
Overall, the house (for us) was so cozy and nice. We really enjoyed that we were so close to the island, stores, and surrounding areas. Would definitely stay here again.

This house was the perfect beach getaway ideally situated 3 miles from Anna Maria Island.The small neighborhood was well kept with manicured lawns & kind neighbors walking their dogs. The nearby restaurants were delicious with extra praise to Five Nine Grill & Tavern. Staff & food were 5 stars.
The house was decorated in a subtle beach vibe, immaculate & well-appointed with every kitchen gadget you could ever need. The main bedroom was perfectly sized with a comfy mattress & ample ensuite. The house is equipped with door alarms for those that may have little ones heading in the direction of the pool. These can be turned off according to your preference. The pool was lovely & clean. Plenty of seating & a dining area to eat alfresco after a day of relaxing. The two other bedrooms were comfortable, but somehow our 2 children ended up in the same room.
The property managers, Island Dream Realty, were friendly & responsive. Even at 3am when a sprinkler head spontaneously erupted outside the main bedroom window. Thinking it was a heavy rainstorm in a sleepy stupor, I finally realized the issue & called Island Dream to notify them. Minutes later, they returned my call & instructed me to shut off the sprinkler system. The landscapers arrived the following morning & made the repairs. I would want the same responsiveness if it were my home not only due to the water loss, but for the prompt repair.
Highly recommend this property & Island Dream.

We were so pleased with the property and the area in general. The house was tastefully decorated and furnished with everything you could possibly need and it's just a short, pleasant drive to Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key and Sarasota. I highly recommend Villa Sandpioer and hope to visit again!

It was amazing two weeks our kids loved the house, lots of beach toys and pool toys.
We would definitely come back. On arrival it was spotless we were only missing a pack and play and management arranged it in no time!!! We would definitely recommend for family with small kids.

This is a beautiful home, pool area is also beautiful and pretty private. Kitchen is well stocked. There is a gas grill outside to use, we didn’t use it but it was nice that it was there. There are beach chairs and beach toys in the garage to use. On the Negative side, bed pillows uncomfortable, guest bedroom mattress uncomfortable ( rock hard) , and guest bathroom shower was narrow and did not have good water flow. And you have to wash all the towels and put them up before you leave.

Super comfortable room in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. Very close to shopping and the beaches on Anna Marie Island. We had a great time!
10.0 / 10.0
We stayed a week with 2 adults and 3 kids (13, 11, 8). Very cute, clean, roomy. Good communication before arrival (no need for anything while we stayed). Comfy beds!
The pool was amazing and always the perfect temp for the humid 90 degree days. We used it daily. We really appreciated the many sand toys and pool noodles. We were at the beach nearly every day, and the kids loved the toys. Anna Maria Island was about a 7 minute drive and there was always somewhere to park, especially Cortez and Coquina beaches.
The little welcome package was nice. There was dish soap, a paper towel, a few pods of laundry detergent, roll of toilet paper. There was just one tiny travel size bar of soap for the whole house, so we did need to buy hand soap for bathrooms. Which was fine. Just an FYI to future guests.
If you’re a TV watcher, like we are in the evenings, the Roku only had Disney and a few other lesser known apps, and no way to add other ones (like Prime Video) without a pin. We didn’t try and ask for the pin as we did bring our own Roku along. Just another FYI.
A good amount of extra blankets, sheets. Good amount of towels. There was brooms, mops, vacuum. Didn’t find any cleaning sprays.
Overall an excellent stay! Would stay again!

Our first trip to Bradenton Beach
The house was immaculately clean, having the caged in private pool was huge for our family. Neighbors were friendly but not invasive. Everything you need for a great week was provided. Stores and restaurants are extremely close. The only negative was the master bedroom mattress was not comfy, woke up with back pain throughout the night. Overall would definitely stay here again.

Nice home! Nice location!
Everything was very nice. Only complaint was that it was rarely, if ever, under 60 degrees outside over the three weeks we stayed, yet the pool heater was never on.

As advertised
The property was as advertised. Very clean and well appointed. Very well decorated as well. The beach is very close but during certain portions of the day traffic can become a nightmare this is due to a drawbridge that opens frequently for boat traffic. We had one or two very minor issues while we were renting the property that were very quickly rectified by the rental agency. Highly recommend this property.

Kids Want to Move Here
We had a wonderful stay. The home was clean and just as pictured. We were glad we brought towels for the beach because there were only a couple of towels that we used for the pool. The surrounding area was a bit run down but the neighborhood the house was located in was nice. It was close to the beach and that was an important factor for us.

Great home
Overall the experience was wonderful. House was very clean and well maintained. The master bedroom bed was a bit uncomfortable but the rest of the beds seemed to be ok. The kitchen was well stocked with items to cook. Pool was wonderful and house was 5-10 minutes to the beach. Close to grocery stores. Would recommend to others.

Beautiful property on a small lot. Good points are the heated pool, the location, everything was clean and worked.Bad points were limited lighting in the family room; the TV has several services available but no ESPN, History, HGTV, or broadcast channels (really bad for a sports fan); and there was no garage door opener.All-in-all a great vacation property that could be even better with a few additions (TV service and garage opener).

Beautiful Home
We stayed at the Sandpiper Villa in December. It’s located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood about 15 minutes away from the ocean. The property was in immaculate condition and beautifully decorated with a coastal theme. Kitchen was fully stocked with plates and utensils. Bathrooms had plenty of towels ready to use. Outdoor area was fabulous: pool is beautiful and heated which is a huge bonus during the colder months. We loved staying at the Villa and would recommend it to everyone. 10/10 experience!
