Al's Dream! LOCATION - Just Steps to the Beach! Shared Heated Pool
Spacious vacation home in Bradenton Beach - just across the street from the white sand and blue waters of award-winning Coquina Beach!
Al's Dream is the downstairs unit of a two-unit complex that makes up Cottages by the Sea. This beautiful home was recently renovated with the charm of the old south and the modern amenities that travelers want to have the perfect vacation! Comfortable seating, sleek fixtures, and new appliances will make Al's Dream, YOUR dream!
The kitchen is fully equipped to make everything from that morning cup of coffee to be enjoyed on the big southern front porch, to a family dinner made up from your catch of the day and Farmers Market finds. There is plenty of seating indoor and outdoor to gather as a family, or a group of friends to celebrate the sunshine and sea!
The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, with a master bathroom. Take full advantage of stepping out from the back door onto the deck and pool area where you can enjoy a nightcap or get in one more chapter of your beach reads! The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed, and right off the living room is the third bedroom with two twin beds.
The beauty of this home extends to the lush backyard with a (shared) pool, outdoor seating, and gas grill. The location in proximity to the beach is superb! Right across the street, a 2-minute walk... and you have found paradise! The large front porch is private for your use only! Kick off your flip flops, grab a sweet tea and enjoy the abundance of Gulf breezes.
While there are plenty of bed linens, beach towels, and bath towels, there is a washer and dryer to save your suitcase from sand on the way home!
The upstairs unit, called Angie's Place, is sweet as can be, with just as much personality as Al's Dream. The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit has a private balcony off the kitchen with views of the Gulf and a balcony off the bedroom overlooking the pool. Rent both units and sleep 10 of your friends or family comfortably.

The property was perfect! We could not have been more happy with the area. Steps from the beach and bay, with a short walk to shops and restaurants. The home was completely comfortable and homey.
This was an excellent experience! My teenagers loved the fact we were so close to the beach plus having a pool in the back yard. We were able to make so many wonderful family memories & with teenagers who don’t want nothing but to play video games usually this was amazing! Thank u!
Such a great location and cute nostalgic feeling of old Florida. Easy walk to the beach. Had everything we needed. Can’t wait till next year to come again!!
Great location and great place. Steps from beach, small but nice pool. Few minute walk from a couple of shops, restaurants and bars. Would stay here again. Only negative, and I would say this about a lot of rentals, is the kitchen gear could be a bit better. Knives were dull, the sharpener did not work really at all. That poor tomato. Coffee makere buttons were all worn off,
This rental was everything we were looking for as a family. Clean, comfortable, great location and so much more. Just a short walk across the street to the beach and a few houses from the bay gave us the best of both worlds. We would definitely book again!
Was a great place for friends and family to come together and make memories! Had everything we needed to clean, cook, and have fun. Especially the heated pool! A one of a kind. Also loved security alarms to the pool, as I have small child who gets into everything so made trip feel much safer. Would definitely stay again!
Home was clean and well supplied... we appreciated being able to stay with flexible date scheduling and not having tonstay a full week.. Location was nice to access the Pier street shops and food. The only downfall for us was the proximity to to public beech and how busy that area was... however, that is a prefernce to dor us.
This place was perfect for our little family’s spring break. The place was clean and cozy, the temperature controls worked well so it was always very comfortable, the semi-private backyard pool (that we shared only with the family upstairs) was also very comfortable, the kitchen was very usable, the in-unit washer/dryer was wonderful, and the location was incredibly convenient to the beach and the “main street” restaurants. This was my family’s first time to Anna Maria Island, and we plan to come back and hope to stay at this house again!
Location was great! Right next to bus and beach. Kids loved the pool! Steps away from the beach! House was very clean. I would stay there again. My only complaint was the front bedroom was near the air conditioner which was very loud.
Great location with both gulf and sound just steps away, quiet neighborhood. The listing did not specify that another unit was attached upstairs with the pool/backyard being a shared space, but this was fine as it was only occupied for a few days during our stay.
My family and I truly enjoyed our vacation. The home was super cute and clean, very close to the beach. The only thing that I wish it worked was the heated pool, only one out of our 4 nights the pool was warm. Other than that we had a great time!
Loved the private pool and backyard. Lovely front porch for morning coffee. Quick walk to the dock or the beach. Close to everything you’d need- walking or trolley! Nice that family has the upstairs unit. Only slightly odd thing- owner was around a bit including using the outdoor shower once- a bit awkward. would stay here again!
Wanted to enjoy AMI for Spring Break and found this little gem of a property. Loved the proximity to the beach (beach access directly across Gulf Dr…literally like a 1 minute walk) and the fact that it had a cute pool to enjoy when the rest of the crew wasn’t quite ready to head out. We had 2 teen girls and me and my husband. Plenty of room for us all and great to have the 2 baths for the group. The kitchen was fully appointed, there were 2 outdoor propane grills for meals in. And for dining out, there were plenty of great restaurants within comfortable walking distance (5 min). Loved our stay!
We like the location of this to the beach and also to Bridge street. We had family upstairs too. A couple things the back deck isn’t good for young children with no rail, we love the buzzer on the back door, but the front door isn’t good for small kids, they can open the front door very easily. More bathroom towels would have been nice. However we were very pleased and had a great stay
Great cottage for our family. We rented the lower level . Loved the area and easy beach access. People renting the upstairs unit were not with us, but there were 4 adults with no kids so no issues. But I can see where others say you can hear every thing upstairs .. flushing toilets, washing machine. One recommendation…Time to upgrade the mattresses. Loved the rocking chairs on the front porch. Looking forward to renting again. Ohhh and our daughter got engaged on this trip! Lovey photos of the newly engaged couple using the cottage and the backyard as the backdrop. 😊
