About this house rental
A Must See home only 5 Minutes to the beautiful and pristine beaches of Anna Maria Island and 1 of 30 homes in a boutique-like subdivision of well-maintained homes. Bamboo hardwood floors, granite countertops, plantation shutters, crown molding, dusk to dawn landscape lighting, oversized kitchen cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a private and heated salt water pool, tranquil pond and lush landscaping views from this stunning home will make you realize that your perfect Florida vacation starts right here!
Fully furnished to accommodate your group of up to six people, we know you will fall in love with the open floor plan and soaring ceilings! The living room is cozy and comfortable, perfect for unwinding in the evenings with some television on the brand-new HDTV. Of course, the entertainment doesn’t stop there as the house has high speed Wi-Fi throughout. One of our favorite features is the sunroom that leads to the pool area. With two overstuffed chairs and ottomans, it’s the perfect place to curl up with a book or enjoy an afternoon snooze.
The oversized kitchen is fully equipped and has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and all the kitchen accessories you will need to manage mealtimes. The dining area seats 6 people for a more formal gathering, or head outside and enjoy your meals poolside! The breakfast bar is also a nice place to sip your morning cup of coffee and plan the day’s adventures.
The master en-suite bedroom features a king sized bed, custom walk in closet and a double vanity in the spacious bathroom. The other guest rooms have a queen-sized bed, and two twin XL beds. The second bathroom has a shower tub combination. A good night’s sleep will not be a problem in these newly outfitted bedrooms!
Perhaps the best and most anticipated feature of Sea La Vie is the private saltwater pool! Float around and take in views of the lake and the lush Florida landscape that makes this home your private oasis. Spend your days and evenings outdoors with a BBQ on the gas grill and dusk to dawn landscape lighting so you can enjoy the views even after sunset.
We can’t wait for you to enjoy this special and inviting home in beautiful Bradenton, FL. The location is perfect to truly enjoy not only going to the beach, but everything else the Bradenton and Sarasota area has to offer!
NOTE: There is 1 parking space inside the garage.
Maximum Parking: 3 vehicles

It seemed the place had not been cleaned recently. The patio tracked black soot or something each time we were out by the pool. Also it didn’t have any condiments. It is the second time we stayed and I think it’s time to updated the bedding sets and sofa be cleaned or replaced. All and all the location is great, we had a great time and the weather was perfect. We look forward to coming back to the area but will consider a different rental.
5.0
Returned this year, because Sea la Vie is convenient to everything we do. All the island experiences with mainland convenience. Looking foward to returning....only nitpicky thing is to maybe bring a fan---the 2 extra bedrooms(not master) get a little stuffy/warmq.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this home. My husband and I, as well as our two kids (ages 8 and 2 and a half), stayed for seven days and had an amazing time. The home was incredibly clean and was just as shown in the pictures in the listing. Quiet neighborhood, lovey pool, short 5-10 min drive to all the best beaches on Anna Maria Island. Also, short drive to Sarasota which offers many things to do. The company that manages this property was also great! We had a little issue connecting to wifi and they immediately responded with a fix. They went out of their way to ensure we had a nice stay and we truly appreciated it. We will definitely stay again next year if available and I assure you, you will not be disappointed if you book this beautiful home.
5.0
This property was beautiful! We really enjoyed the pool and the space in the home. Garage parking was a nice bonus! The location is great, the view of the pond was beautiful. Beach was a short 10 min or so drive and also close to groceries and stores. Plenty of beach supplies and towels. The only downfall/complaint was the lack of dry goods in the kitchen (had to buy cooking spray and some seasonings, nothing provided) also only got 1 extra roll of toilet paper for a week between 4 people. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

This was the perfect place to stay the house is perfect and the pool is great. Close to beaches, shopping but in a peaceful residential area where we could watch the eagles that reside right outside the property and of course the herons and ducks. Would recommend this for anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay.

The house was perfect! Very clean, comfortable, easy access to town and beach. Well equipped in the kitchen, for the beach, pool, bathing, etc. The communication with the manager was great! We had a few questions and needs and they were very accommodating! We look forward to coming next year!
5.0
From seeing this property online, to closing the door at the end of our vacation, this rental was perfect!
The house is exactly as shown, spotless, great position, quiet neighbourhood, everything you could want or need available.
The very few times we needed to speak to the management company, they were responsive and sorted everything almost immediately (and these were very trivial things mostly caused by us not sorting the tv properly!!)
We would thoroughly recommend both the area and this property to anyone who loves Florida as much as we do!!
5.0
Great vacation!
We loved this property. Having a pool all to ourselves really spoiled us for the week. The house has a great central location and we were able to get to the beach within 5-10 minutes by car. We would absolutely stay here again if we visit the area in the future.

Wonderful Stay
We had an amazing, relaxing time at this property. The place was very clean. Check in was easy. Had everything you could want or need. We were 5 miles from the beach. Bradenton Beach was our favorite. We took day trips up to Clearwater and down to Sarasota, but Bradenton was the best of all we visited. The house is on a lake with a resident family of Eagles, so beautiful to watch while hanging out in the pool! I highly recommend this property.

Best Place Ever
Could not asked for a more perfect place to visit with my Florida Family. The house was immaculate, the accommodations were stunning, plenty of room to visit, and the pool area was so inviting. 4 minutes to the pristine Coquina Beach and restaurants on Anna Marie Island. Can’t wait to go back! Only complaint was the front steps were too steep for someone with mobility issues and may want to consider grab bars in the master shower. It was quite slick. Other than that, it was paradise!

Beautiful home
My family loved our stay at Sea la Vie. The house is beautifully decorated and very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked. Lots of clean bath towels and beach towels. The landscape and quiet neighborhood was especially nice. The pool was great! We’d love to stay here again.

Great place
The property was just as it was listed. The only thing was the number of bathrooms for 5 adults. We needed at least another 1/2 bath. All in all it was a great vacation. Location was close to lots of things to enjoy and places to eat.

Wonderful and Relaxing Vacation
This house was exactly what we needed. We wanted a place of our own just in case the beaches were too crowded. Luckily they were not and we still had a lovely house just a short drive from the shore. My 4 and 2 year old daughters loved the pool and my wife and I really enjoyed the overall size of the house.

Thank you again!

Wonderful!
Our visit was everything we hoped for! The house was amazing, just as described. Location was great, had to add extra travel time at this time of year but we had easy access to beaches, walking trails, restaurants, etc.

We loved it
Sea La Vie! is a beautiful house in a very good location, close to Anna Maria Island and nearby beaches. The house itself is very well furnished and decorated in a "Beach" theme. The pool is very nice, and the multi-windowed room that overlooks it is a great place to read or to just sit and enjoy quiet time. The property management company was quite easy to work with. One helpful hint: The primary tv remote only works when the cabinet doors below it are open.

HERONS WATCH
The house was perfect, beautifully decorated and everything you need was there. Loved the pool. The only reason we would not stay there is it is far away to walk to anything. Wish we could move the house and pool to Sarasota

Beautiful home in very quiet neighborhood
The home was beautiful and comfortable. The bed was great. The kitchen was very well stocked. It was clean and looked just like the picture. The big con for us was the area. You had to drive quite a ways to get anywhere. There was a golf course close by but anything else you had a long drive with lots of traffic.

Renter’s dream!
I fell in love with this property as soon as we pulled into the driveway! The landscaping is beautiful! Gorgeous tropical plants and trees surround the home and the large pond in the back is the icing on the cake! I was equally as happy when I stepped into the home. Beautifully decorated, with comfortable furniture and beach themed accent decor. It has an open layout with the back room consisting of 3 sets of sliding doors giving you a great view of the pool or pond from any seat. The master bedroom’s bed was very comfortable and had a walk in closet to die for!
The kitchen had everything that one could possibly need and we really appreciated having a high chair and pack n play that were like new for our young Grandson.
For those who love to eat out I would check out downtown Sarasota for some great options, as well as Anna Maria Island. We made reservations for most nights so we had little to no wait times.
Great place to rent for 6 people, 7 if one is a baby. Thanks again to the owners and the property management company!

Tranquil getaway
Beautifully maintained and well equipped property in a great location. In fact, for the first time ever, we had no need to contact the property manager with issues or problems - because there weren't any!!
Very easy access to Anna Maria Island and beaches - but also easy access to shopping malls and interstates for Tampa and Orlando trips. We loved it!!

great place for a family ! so beautiful !
We have been there for three weeks and had a more than pleasant stay. Everything was so lovely designed. the equipment and enviremont were really perfect for us (2 adult,2 kids age >11). Anna Maria island beach was very close to the house by car. Every room was very clean, very well designed ! Cortez road is not far away too, where you can get everything to you need.
Overall :-) ...great place to stay for us (german family).

Wonderful home, beautifully appointed, with plenty of privacy. In addition, there was an eagle family nesting in a communication tower next door which gave of some entertainment.

A true "Home from Home"
My wife Pam and I are lucky to have travelled all over the world and have stayed in many 5* hotels and homes. Without doubt this ”home from home” stands in the very top echelon in our accommodation 20 year list to date.
There is nothing to want for; every requirement for the perfect stay is catered for and the quality of everything is 100% clearly chosen by a careful and artistic eye.
Thank you for making our stay and holiday special and we would have no hesitation in recommending the Sea La Vie home at Heron's Watch, Bradenton to any prospective holidaying family.
Additionally the local support of Alex and his team, the “Island Dreams” representative for Sea La Vie, was first class and nothing was too much trouble (on the rare occasion we needed something clarified).
Thank you again and we are sure to return.
