Stayed in this beautiful home for three nights and the accommodation was everything we could have hoped for. Property was well maintained and the location was right on the waterfront. Our whole family loved the pool area and the roof terrace provides an exceptional vista of Anna Maria Island, the harbour and the Gulf of Mexico. A truly beautiful property!

This house had everything you need and then some, its beautiful views on the river to the sunset views on the roof to all the added features inside made this a memorable rental vacation. Will definitely look to rent again in the future.

The house was amazing. It was great to be on the water so the kids could fish and watch the boats including many dolphins sightings!! It was a short walk to town and the beach. The house had everything and it was fun to watch the sunset from the top level. We will definitely be back!!

We will continue to work diligently to maintain the high standards you've come to expect. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Had a wonderful time at this home. We had a party of 14, so everyone had a room to sleep in and en-suite bathroom which was amazing! The pool was phenomenal. Alternating days at the beach and the pool was perfect! The short walk to Bridge street for dinner, drinks, ice cream and souvenir shopping made for the perfect spring break.
The house is even better than described - it seems like everything is brand new. Every bedroom is beautiful and there are more bathrooms than we could count. The pool/hot tub area is amazing. The location is perfect - just steps from Bridge Street and the pier, and a short walk to the beach. The area is very safe and family oriented. Bradenton Beach is in the process of recovering from the hurricane and their progress is remarkable. Many restaurants and shops are open and eager to do business. We would definitely return here again!

The view and location were perfect. Unfortunately the elevator was not working the entire time, one of the main reasons we chose the house for my parents. Also the pool lights/heat/spa werent not working so the little ones couldnt enjoy the pool due to temperature/safety at night.

Hello Danielle,
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're truly glad to hear you enjoyed the view and location—it’s one of our favorite features too! We’re very sorry to learn about the issues with the elevator and pool amenities during your stay. We understand how important these features were for your family, especially for your parents and little ones, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can address these concerns and improve the experience for future guests. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back under better circumstances.
We had the opportunity to stay in Bayfront Retreat over the long holiday weekend. The house was big enough to share with 4 families and offered plenty of room for both kids and adults to spread out. The dock allowed us to bring our boats, the location on the waterway was perfect and the pool provided endless hours of entertainment both during the day and at night. Communication with the rental team was great and they were available whenever we needed. We would highly recommend this property and look forward to visiting again in the future!

Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us, Stephanie. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back soon!
The home was absolutely beautiful. Very clean. Very large. We had family members up to 10 and there was more room than needed. The pool and hot tub were great. Spent most of the time there. It was enjoyable watching the boats going in and out of the bay area. We all plan on coming back to this home again.

Carla, your heartwarming feedback makes our day! We appreciate your family for choosing to stay at our beach home and nothing is better than relaxing in the tranquil pool on that property. We would love to host your family again on your next island adventure!
House is far more beautiful and spacious than the pictures. Every room having a bathroom is priceless! Note: 1 bedroom a queen, not king. Having beach towels, beach chairs and beach carts was so helpful! Several places to eat within walking distance, along with beach access 3 blocks away. And the pool! Lovely! We didn’t catch many fish, but it was nice having the dock right there. We would definitely stay again!
