Pirate’s Cove is a luxury vacation home that places you near the beaches and waterways of Bradenton Beach.

*Disclaimer: Please note that the stovetop currently has a minor issue—two of the five burners are not functioning. We are actively addressing this and expect it to be resolved shortly.*

The elevated home also comes with a full kitchen, the perfect place to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Or make use of the outside grill and enjoy a meal next to the private pool. Pirate’s Cove also has splendid views, as you can see the surrounding beaches and Skyway Bridge from the roof top deck. Enjoy your morning coffee and watch the sunrise from one of the bedroom balconies.

Pirate’s Cove places you close to Historic Bridge Street, where you can experience local restaurants, bars, and shopping.

35’ Private Dock that fits up to a 26’ boat. IMPORTANT NOTE! Due to tide fluctuations the draft of the boat is an important consideration when reserving this property. NOT all types of boats will work well during low tide. The water line can range from 3” to 36” based on high and low tides. If tidal flow is a noted concern, your planned boat requires significant draft, or the captain of the boat has limited experience navigating high and low tidal artificial waterways/tributaries, then we suggest a vacation rental that provides for more significant water depths. Here is more general information on tidal flow from noaa.gov: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/ Please plan according to your boats draft and tides when docking your boat at this property. Please see the Anna Maria Island tide tables link for more information before you arrive: https://www.surf-forecast.com/breaks/Anna-Maria-Island/tides/latest . There will be no refunds for boat access to this property as tidal flows should be considered an act of god, similar to rain, high or low temperatures, etc.

The home has exactly what we needed in all aspects such as having an equipped kitchen, plenty of bedrooms with each it’s own bath, open space for time together, quiet location and easy walk to the nearby beach. Our grandson caught a fish on the home’s dock with his third cast and believe me he was so happy! The outdoor space was loved by all especially the spacious hot tub, pool, tv, eating area and balconies! Having the use of the golf cart made it very convenient when people were going to different destinations! Being older than a lady will admit the elevator was a dream come true! Combine all the amenities with such a clean environment and caring rental company gives this home a five star rating!!

We had the best time!

Our family stayed at Pirate Cove for a week between Christmas and New Years. What a beautiful home! The layout was perfect for us with a huge stocked kitchen and in suite bathrooms. There was really no sun in the pool area but we loved the roof top sun deck! Island Real Estate was amazing to work with. They were so on top of all our needs. We would highly recommend this home.

Worth every penny

Pictures don’t do it justice. Beautiful, design is unique but makes sense. Has an ELEVATOR that we used for groceries and packin/unpacking. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, beautifully appointed. Appliances were FANTASTIC. pool and spa were amazing. Thought about squatters rights but don’t want to get arrested. Would stay again. Like next week.

Check in was very easy, we had issues unlocking the door at first. I called the office and they immediately help me remotely unlock the door. The view from the canal was wonderful. We had golf carts to drop people off at the beach, but it's also an easy 5 or so minute walk. If you have kids, the pool might be a bit small. We had five kids with us and they were on top of each other when they all swam. There is a large tanning shelf if you just like to hang out there. All of the beds and bedrooms were very comfortable. We were easily able to fit our family of 11 without any issues.I wish the fridge was bigger or there was a second fridge. The fridge is counter depth, so it limits what you can put into the fridge. It was a challenge with a larger group to fit everything we needed into the fridge. You also have to make ice the old fashion way, with trays. Once we realized that we just bought bags of ice. Overall it was a comfortable stay and a fun location for our family.

Hi Kara, Thank you for your detailed and helpful feedback! We’re so glad to hear check-in was smooth, and that your family enjoyed the canal views, comfy bedrooms, and the convenient location to the beach. It’s great to know the space worked well for your group of 11. We appreciate your notes about the fridge and pool size—those are definitely important considerations for larger families, and we’ll take that into account as we continue to improve the experience for future guests. Thanks again for choosing Pirates Cove, and we’d love to welcome you all back anytime!

A Perfect Coastal Getaway on Anna Maria Island

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible property on Anna Maria Island, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a stunning view and a beautifully maintained home that exceeded all our expectations. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from the pristine beaches of Anna Maria Island. The property is spacious, comfortably accommodating our large group of 14 adults. Each room is elegantly decorated and thoughtfully furnished, providing a luxurious yet cozy ambiance. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the living areas were perfect for both relaxation and socializing. The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances, making it easy to prepare meals for our group. We enjoyed several evenings dining al fresco on the patio, taking in the breathtaking sunset views. The pool area was another highlight, offering a private oasis for swimming and lounging. What truly set this property apart was the exceptional attention to detail and the outstanding service. The property was immaculately clean, and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring that our stay was seamless and enjoyable. Overall, this property provided the perfect setting for our coastal getaway. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing vacation on Anna Maria Island. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful House in a Great Location

The house was amazing and in a great location! The pool was warm and everything was clean. The only downside is the communication with the property manager was poor. I called the day we arrived to get into the property because we never received a code and no one ever called me back. We were lucky that the back door was left unlocked otherwise we never would have been able to get in!
