About this property

Fully updated Direct Beachfront 2 bed, 2 full bath condo w/heated beachside pool

Located directly on the Gulf of Mexico on Anna Maria Island in the city of Bradenton Beach, this beachfront condo is in a prime location right next to Historic Bridge Street. Anna Maria is a hidden gem in Florida and Bridge Street is a hub of activities.

The Condo has many recent updates with an open kitchen with "sit down" counter, two large bedrooms, two full baths (the master shower has a rain shower head and a handheld wand), fully equipped kitchen, in suite full size washer & dryer, high speed WiFi (400mb), cable, multiple "Smart" TV's (55", 43" and 32") and Roku for your streaming services. We have it decorated with a beach theme that is designed for comfort. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy the view. Fully contactless check-in with a ring camera doorbell for your safety.

Gulf View is a small complex (only 10 units) located directly on the beach. It does not have an elevator. Parking is under the building with two (2) floors of five (5) condos on each floor. Our unit is on the top floor.

The pool is on the gulf side with great views of the beach and ocean. Walk directly from the pool deck on to the beach and into the Gulf of Mexico. It is a short 65 +/- (depending on the tide) steps on the soft sand to the ocean from the pool deck. Take a swim in the heated beachside pool reserved for Gulf View guests. Park in your reserved, covered parking spot that is big enough for two (2) cars. Secured access by a regularly changing code. There are several Ring Cameras on the property for security.

Everything you could want is within walking distance! There are approximately ten (10) restaurants within a 4 minute walk! You can also take a ride on the Free Island Trolley that runs from 7:30 am until 10:00 pm up and down the island. The Circle K convenience store is across the street for those last minute items.

Bridge Street is a short 50 yards from the complex. It is the hub of activity with several restaurants and bars - many with live music, ice cream shops, bicycle shops, beach shops, boutiques, mini-golf, fishing and much more. Bradenton Beach Marina is also a short walk where you can rent a boat, take a tour boat ride, ride parasails or rent jet skis.

You can walk soft white sand south to Longboat Pass or north all the way to Bean Point. You will likely see manatees and dolphins right outside your condo in the Gulf. We have a beach storage unit with several beach chairs and beach toys for your use.

At the end of the day, you will see awesome sunsets from your huge (150 +/- square foot) private, screened lanai. With large sliding doors from both the family room and the master bedroom, it is a great place to unwind. The pool deck has a very nice Weber barbeque grill, several lounge chairs with umbrellas and tables for guest use.

Anna Maria Island is about 16 miles due west of Exit 220 on Interstate 75. You can fly into Sarasota / Bradenton (22 min), St Petersburg (55 min), Tampa (65 min) or Punta Gorda (75 min) Airports as well. Orlando is a short 2 hour drive.

Beautiful Views and Great Location
We had a wonderful time staying at this condo. Everything went very smoothly, from check in to check out. Mike was very helpful and was quick to respond. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. The location is also a plus for my family. We loved being so close to Bridge Street and a bunch of local restaurants. We loved being so close to the beach and my kids also enjoyed the pool. We had such a great experience renting from Mike that we have already rebooked for next year!

Another wonderful stay!
Second time at the condo and it was just as wonderful as last time. Don’t quote me but I believe they got a new fridge and stove since last time we were there (2023). You can tell the owners really take pride in making sure everything is up to date, clean, and their guests are comfortable. We look forward to coming back in the future! You definitely get your money’s worth with this place unlike other places we had stayed at where you basically pay a ton because of the location.

Location is very convenient. Short walk to restaurants, shops and the pier. The condo is very clean. The view of the gulf from the large lanai is a highlight especially for sunsets. We saw dolphins from the lanai. Mike was quick to respond to our questions. I highly recommend this condo.

Beautiful condo on the gulf!
We loved our stay on Bradenton Beach at Gulf View. The condo was updated, clean and supplied with all that we needed. We met so many fun and interesting people there that have become our friends. The only downside was the absence of an elevator and the Moose Lodge next door. Hopefully we can stay there again!

Wonderful condo. Amazing view. Perfect location for families.
We stayed here for a week with our nine-year-old son. The location is perfect. It is close to plenty of restaurants and of course, mini golf. The beach is great. The pool is very warm. The sunsets were amazing. The condo was fully stocked. It was also very clean. Everything we needed was there. Mike was very responsive with any inquiry. Easy. And just as described.

The View is Amazing
We love Gulfview. Have stayed at 2 separate places in the past 2 years. Both very similar. Mike was great to work with. The view and amenities are wonderful but over the year have definitely noticed a decline in upkeep of the building and surroundings. Not a deterrence for a return but still a concern. Will definitely be back at Gulfview in the future.

Another Amazing Stay!
This is the second time we’ve stayed in this unit. With this location, you are in the center of it all, with great beach access, a great pool, and within walking distance of great restaurants and shops. Check-in was super easy, the checkout process was just the same. Mike is super easy to communicate with and ensures your stay will be as carefree as possible. The Moose Lodge is right next door as well which makes grabbing a drink or snack super convenient while hanging at the beach. We became members after our stay last year and it proved to be a good decision.

Great property and location
Perfect location. Well stocked, plenty of beach towels and beach chairs. Very comfortable beds. Small condo complex, only 10 units with private pool and private beach entry, so you almost feel like you have the place to yourself. Very clean, balcony overlooking the gulf for perfect sunset viewing, and shades on the balcony to help with afternoon sun. Covered parking for two cars was a bonus. Directly across the street from a Circle K, which was very convenient. And one block from the shops and restaurants on Bridge Street.

Amazing Stay!
This is our fifth time coming to AMI and even though we enjoyed our stay, we never found a place that we wanted to come back to. That was until this year. The condo was amazing! The bedrooms were spacious, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the view…wow! It was so nice to sit on the balcony every morning and in the evening to watch the sunset (something we didn’t get to do all the time as our son would go to bed early). I loved it was screened in too. The AC was a major plus for me as I get cold easily from window units that we’ve had in the past. The master bedroom had a huge walk in closet that was wonderful to store our luggage. Being able to park our rental under to shelter from the weather and hot sun was a big plus. Mike’s communication was wonderful. All in all, we had a wonderful time and already booked next year’s trip as we definately found someplace to keep going.

Wonderful Vacation
Everything about our stay was fantastic! The location was phenomenal. You can walk to various restaurants, shops, and bars, etc, in a couple minutes. The beach is right outside your window. It is so peaceful and relaxing sitting on the lanai and looking at the Gulf. Almost anything you need for the beach is on-site and specific to this unit. The owners, Mike and Dianna, are wonderful to work with. The electricity in the neighborhood went out one morning for a brief amount of time, and they contacted and checked on us before I could even call them. They care! The condo is decorated in a fun and beach-like style that makes you forget about all of the normal headaches of day to day life. This was our third year in a row on the island, and Mike and Dianna’s condo helped to make it our favorite stay by far! We highly recommend renting from these great people and would love the opportunity to stay here again in the near future.

Great view, good location.
We really enjoyed the view and it was a great location to walk around to lots of restaurants and shops. The condo was well updated and spacious. I did not expect the master closet to be so large, that was a nice surprise. Mike communicated with us to make sure we had what we needed. The building is very close to shops and dining, it is directly next to a very busy part of the road, so it was quite loud with the road noise. There were some rude tenants staying in another unit the week we were there (unit 104; many inconsiderate and dangerous behaviors on the beach). They also left the gates open constantly and another condo owner reprimanded us for this even though we shut the gates when we came and went. So, that was frustrating, but not Mike and Diana’s fault.

About the host

Hosted by Mike or Dianna

Host profile image
Dianna and I are empty nesters that love the beach and sun. We are Indiana residents that love the Indy 500, Indianapolis Colts, Indiana Pacers, IU Hoosiers and St Louis Cardinals baseball.

Please note, we only rent our condo via VRBO; we do not use any other rental service!

Why they chose this property

We have stayed at several spots in South Florida over the years and we feel this complex has the best feel of the old Florida that we love so much - Locally owned restaurants with lots of live music, great beaches and no high-rise developments. This small complex is the ideal area for families and adult groups alike. You are in the middle of everything with enough restaurants that you can WALK to a new one every night for more than a week! From outdoor restaurants to sports bars to white tablecloth - this area has it all.

What makes this property unique

In real estate, they say it is all about location, location, location. Well, this condo has it in spades! It is a prime spot in the middle of everything and direct gulf front.

Dianna decorated this in a "beach feel". She wanted the condo to be a place where you feet right at home and that you can relax and enjoy the beach.
