The only home directly across from IMG Academy — and one of the best-equipped large group homes in Bradenton.
Whether you're here for a tournament, a showcase, a recruiting visit, or a Gulf Coast family vacation, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home gives your group the space, comfort, and amenities to make the trip unforgettable.
For IMG Academy families & teams
IMG Academy hosts 30+ sports events annually — tennis, soccer, baseball, football, basketball, golf, and more — drawing families and teams from across the country. When your athlete is competing, you want to be close, comfortable, and not paying hotel rates for a group of 8–10.
This home puts you steps from the facility, with: • Free on-site parking for multiple vehicles • Fully equipped kitchen for team meals and early morning prep • Game room to unwind after competition • Heated pool for recovery and relaxation • Washer and dryer for longer tournament stays
We've hosted lacrosse families, tennis parents, soccer teams, and recruiting groups — and we understand what tournament travel looks like. Book early: IMG event weekends fill 3–6 months in advance.
The outdoor space
The private heated pool is the centerpiece — guests swim morning, noon, and night. String lights, a BBQ grill, and fire pit make evenings outside the best part of the day. Fully fenced for privacy and pet safety.
Game room
Pac-Man full-size arcade, pool table, foosball, and board games. This space gets used every single stay — rainy afternoons, post-competition downtime, late evenings when everyone's too tired to go out but not tired enough to sleep.
Sleeping arrangements
• 2 King suites — each with private or en-suite bath • 2 Queen bedrooms • Bunk bed with trundle — great for kids or additional guests • Sleeps up to 10 comfortably
Kitchen & dining
Fully equipped for real cooking — stainless appliances, ample counter space, full cookware set. Everything you need for team breakfasts, family dinners, or meal prep between games. Large dining table fits the whole group.
Beach days — everything included
The Gulf Coast's best beaches are a short drive away — Coquina Beach (5 mi), Cortez Beach (6 mi), Manatee Public Beach (8 mi), and Anna Maria Island (7 mi). We provide beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and beach towels so you can go straight from the car to the sand — no hauling gear from home.
Pet friendly
Your dogs are welcome. The partially fenced backyard gives them room to roam safely.
Location
• IMG Academy: across the street • Coquina Beach: 5 mi • Anna Maria Island: 7 mi • SRQ Airport: 5 mi — easy for families flying in • Sarasota & Bradenton dining, shopping, attractions: 10–15 min • Robinson Preserve (kayak & hiking): 8 mi
Whether your group is here to compete, cheer, or simply enjoy Florida's Gulf Coast, this home has everything you need — and we'll make sure the stay is seamless from booking to checkout.
