We stayed in this house in August 2022 and thought it was great then. It was great again for our stay in August 2024 for IMG move in. The living space is very big. The kitchen has lots of amenities. The pool is great and the back area has a great view of the canal. The house also has a very big screened in porch and lots of patio furniture for sitting outside. We hope to stay at this house again.

Really love this property and the location is perfect with only a short drive to the beach. Pool is adaquate and the house has everything you need to stay for longer periods. I have no doubt we’ll be back!

Lots of space in a relaxing neighborhood

We enjoyed our spring break in Bradenton at Salty Sea Life! House was very clean and had everything we needed. Great location. Short 7 min drive or 15 min easy bike ride to beach. My husband even jogged to the beach a couple times. Street is very quiet and we enjoyed sitting in the lanai and by the pool. Would stay here again

Check-in was super easy, our code was ready at 4. We loved the openness of the house! You could look straight through from the front living area to the canal out back. The screened patio was great in the evening for grilling and breakfast in the mornings. Location was GREAT, if you stay here do check out the Cortez Clam Factory at the entry to the neighborhood, easily walkable. A couple things I want to point out, the beds are really firm (like most) and pillows are not the best. Kitchen is LARGE and could be layed out better, we cooked almost daily while here. We found quite a few dead bugs on around the edges of the floors when we arrived which tells me that the cleaning crew wasn't there that day or they didn't do a thorough job. Not the worst thing but didn't expect to find so many of them. The listing doesn't mention this (or at least I didn't see it) but the pool is not heated, this was a huge bummer because it was a bit colder than normal so we couldn't use the pool because the water was VERY cold. One last thing, being on the canal is nice, but the current and wind was blowing garbage to our end so it wasn't great to look at and I definitely wouldn't fish there, even catch and release.

We spent 10 days at the Salty Sea Life. The house is in a great location, a short drive to Anna Maria Island, and a short walk to a local restaurant/tiki bar called the Clam Factory. Unfortunately, we had some issues in the house that were not able to be resolved during our stay. The light switch for the ceiling light/fan in one bedroom didn’t work. There were a lot of palmetto bugs/roaches. The bugs were predominantly in the bathrooms and occasionally in the bedrooms and living room. Thankfully, they were never in the kitchen, but we encountered multiple bugs of various sizes daily. We never entered a room without scanning the floor first and weren’t comfortable walking around barefoot. The rental agency was planning to have a pest control company treat the home after we left. It would have been a 5-star stay without the bugs. We loved the open layout of the house and the washer/dryer. The screened-in patio and the pool overlooking the canal were very enjoyable as well.

Incredible property witth great location. Wonderful get away for boaters and fishermen. Will definitely book again!

Very clean and spacious. Pool and canal front view very nice. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay here again.
