House is great for large groups. The heated pool was a hit with our granddaughter. Having two kitchens was very convenient for us. Tony was always quick to respond to any questions. Neighborhood has a great park at end of street. Also only about 6 miles from beach.
This house was perfect for our family! We loved having the heated pool! There were plenty of beach accessories for our large party. The kitchen had everything we needed. Tony was always quick to respond, even shipping my purse asap that I left hanging by the door. We had such a great week!

Amazing July stay. Perfect for our big group.
We stayed at Tropical Vibe in July and it was a great choice for our family trip. The house was huge, very clean, and set up well for a large group. The kids spent every day in the pool and hot tub, and the outdoor movie nights were a big hit. The giant TV in the game room was perfect for watching sports in the evenings.
The location was excellent. It was a quick drive to Anna Maria Island, and having GT Bray Park right across the street was a bonus. We used the pickleball courts, the walking trail, and the playground almost every day.
The beds were comfortable and the two kitchens made meals easy. We also appreciated having plenty of space so no one felt crowded. The mosquito treated backyard was a big help since we spent a lot of time outside at night.
The hosts were very responsive and made sure everything went smoothly. We would definitely stay here again.
We had an amazing stay here! Plenty of space for everyone and the atmosphere was great! Close enough to everything on Bradenton and Anna Maria! The hosts went above and beyond and were very helpful! A

A perfect stay for our group of 15. Truly unforgettable.
Our group of 15 stayed at Tropical Vibe and this home made our entire trip memorable. The house was spotless, spacious, and very well set up for a large group. We had plenty of room to spread out and the game room and giant TV became our nightly hangout spot. The best part of the trip happened on our second night. We surprised my parents with a poolside celebration for their anniversary. We used the outdoor movie screen to play a slideshow of family photos while everyone relaxed by the pool. It was a moment we will never forget and the space could not have been more perfect for it. The pool and hot tub were used every day and the kids loved the outdoor games. The park across the street was a bonus and we walked over several times for pickleball and the playground. The location also made it very easy to get to Anna Maria Island. The beds were comfortable, the kitchens were fully stocked, and the home felt very welcoming. The mosquito free backyard was a huge plus since we spent so much time outside in the evenings. The hosts were very responsive and thoughtful throughout our stay. We will definitely return to Tropical Vibe for future family trips.
This house is absolutely fabulous!!! We had a large group of 15, ages 3 to 63, and every single person was accommodated in every way and more! The space is incredible!! The check-in process was so smooth and easy! The owners and crew were absolutely fantastic from prior to arriving until we left the rental! They were very responsive and took care of anything we needed! They were very friendly and the home was very clean! The kids loved the pool and the area was great! We 100% give this place a 5-star review! It was a wonderful vacation and week!
We spent a week with a large group and had an incredible stay. The home was gorgeous and had the perfect beach house feel, it was bright, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated. It was fully stocked and in an ideal location just minutes from the beach and close to restaurants, Target, Publix, and Walmart. The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. We especially loved the backyard. It was spacious and relaxing, with a great pool, hot tub, games, and a comfortable patio area where we spent a lot of time. The best part was that there were no mosquitoes because the owners treat the yard regularly, so we didn’t need a pool cage. The game room was a favorite hangout spot, and the large dining table was perfect for group meals. Tony and Christine were amazing hosts and have clearly thought of every detail. We would absolutely stay here again.

Walk to the Park , Short drive to the beach
This This home was absolutely perfect for our large family vacation. Anna Maria Island was more beautiful than ever, and this house made our stay unforgettable. It was immaculately clean, incredibly well equipped, and much larger than it looks—actually HUGE! We loved the spacious layout, the peaceful tropical backyard, and the incredible pool. The big screen game room was a huge hit! With the beach just 10 minutes away and every store imaginable within a mile, the location couldn’t have been better. The hosts were fantastic, and we will definitely be back. Thank you!

Great Location, HUGE Home!
Great stay, highly recommend. Our large group had more than enough space to spread out and relax.
The house had everything we needed for a fun and comfortable week.
The location was spot on, just a quick drive to the beach and minutes from all the essentials like Publix & Walmart, and tons of great restaurants.
The neighborhood felt very safe and walkable, and having a park right across the street with pickleball courts was a huge bonus. We loved being able to walk over and play a few games.
The backyard really stole the show. Did I say no mosquitoes!?!
The game room was another favorite, and watching movies on the 150 inch TV felt like our own private theater.
Lastly, Tony was an exceptional host, responsive, thoughtful, and clearly committed to creating a five star experience. We’re already talking about coming back.
We had a great time at this place. The decor is just so vibey and the pool and fire pit was a hit. We didn’t get to use the outdoor TV (we weren’t sure where it was or how to set it up, but we also didn’t ask about it).

Thanks for the great review Lydia! Instructions for the projector and screen are available upon request. We don’t leave it out to avoid the risk of damage. We hope you come back again!
The house was clean, quiet, and very fun. Tony went out of his way to take care of logistics and answer any questions. In fact, we accidentally had a food delivery a day early and he still made himself available to take care of it. I recommend the property without reservations.

Thank you so much for the great review Savannah! We hope you come stay with us again.
We loved this place. It was close to everything you needed. We loved the local grocery store Detwiler's. They have the best fresh veggies and watermelon. If you plan on staying here i would definitely say to check out Coquina Beach. It was vey clean, had picnic tables to enjoy lunch at and the beach was not crowded at all. The house offered 2 usable coolers and had pool noodles, boogie boards and even beach chairs to use. I would recommend this house to anyone. It was very spacious for our party of 12. They even offered a crock pot which we used for our taco bar night. The neighbors were very friendly and the neighborhood was very quiet.

Thank you Brittany! I was a pleasure hosting your group.
Every year we visit as a large group with our kids and struggle to find the perfect place to accommodate. This year we found it. Tony and Christine’s place was absolutely perfect for us. It was so spacious and the kids absolutely loved the pool - especially the little waterfall feature. There were so many things to keep them entertained - from the pool floaties to the games and the big bean bag chairs, it was perfect. The location was great with a beautiful park just steps down the road and the beach a short drive away. Tony and Christine were amazing hosts with superb communication. Any issues that we had, they addressed immediately and went above and beyond to ratify. Overall we had a great vacation. If you’re looking for a great spot to stay with tons to do you’ve found it.
“This is better than Turks & Caicos!” - 10Yr oldMy kids loved the heated pool, ping pong table, and large tv. We are a family of 6, and appreciated having plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have their own room. Manatee Beach on Anna Maria Island is an easy drive with plenty of parking, rentals, food and public restrooms. We loved this beach. We played mini golf at Smugglers Cove, and fed the baby alligators. The Ugly Grouper is a must for a delicious meal in a fun environment. I appreciated the beach towels available so we did not have to pack them. The house was supplied with everything! We had a wonderful stay. Tony was always quick to respond to any questions. 10/10 recommend!

What a cool house. Loved the decor and that it was different than any property I’ve stayed in before. The house is much bigger once you come in, there is plenty of room for a large group, the pool/outdoor area is stunning, and the hangout room with the 4 tv’s is so cool plus just a great place to hangout with everyone. Will definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Tony
Hi we’re the Rossini family. We're a blended family of 5 with 3 kids. I started our Hosting company "Bourbon City Rentals" in 2021 with the goal of leaving my 8-5 job and to gain some financial independence. I quickly found success in hosting as it aligns with my background in the service industry, my love for people, & travel. I truly love to host and help family’s make memories that will last a lifetime. We found a niche with larger properties, and we specialize in seamless vacations for large families and groups. Unlike others who just cram extra beds into rooms, we've designed this home with intention balancing spacious gathering areas with private retreats so you never feel overwhelmed.
Why they chose this property
Tropical Vibe, hosted by Bourbon City Rentals, is a 6BR luxury retreat built for groups of up to 21 — where resort-style amenities meet the comfort of a private home. This is not a house where extra beds were crammed in to hit a number. Every space was designed with intention so large groups can gather, relax, and have fun without feeling crowded.
Outside, a heated saltwater pool with LED waterfall and tanning ledge anchors a backyard built for fun — 6-person hot tub, smokeless firepit, 20-ft outdoor movie screen, cornhole, ping pong, and life-size beer pong. Inside, the 150-inch LED TV game room with Golden Tee arcade sets the tone, with a 75-inch smart TV in the living room and 50-inch smart TVs in 4 bedrooms. 2 full kitchens, a quartz island, dual fridges, and a custom 10-ft dining table make feeding a crowd effortless. Just 2 minutes on foot to GT Bray Park and minutes by car to Anna Maria Island — Tropical Vibe is the ideal base for family reunions, milestone celebrations, and group vacations that deserve more than average.
