We were very happy with all accommodations. Perfect for our stay and close to everything we wanted to see or needed. We would definitely stay again. Thanks
It was the perfect place for us to stay while attending a wedding and reception on Anna Maria Island. We liked the convenience of the location and took advantage of the quick walk to a beautiful beach. We liked the heated pool, especially renting in January. We would stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was the perfect place and size for just the two of us. We walked the Cortez bridge every day for exercise along with great walks on the beach. The property was in a perfect area which was close to everything and walking distance to a lot of places! We walked to Bridge street every night. We just love this area and will definitely be back.

Thank you, Joyce! Sounds like the perfect Bradenton Beach week, walks across the Cortez Bridge and evenings on Bridge Street are exactly what The Villas by the Sea #3 was made for. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
Easy to find and get in on our own! Short walk to the beach, provided two beach chairs, and beach towels! Pool was warm and nice to swim in with temps in mid-60s! Short walk to Bridge St for food, drinks, and shopping. Great off street parking and perfect location for a short drive to Anna Maria Island!!

Thank you, Holly! We’re happy The Villas by the Sea #3 worked well for your stay—glad the check-in was easy and you enjoyed the beach access, chairs/towels, warm pool, and the great location near Bridge St and Anna Maria Island. We’d love to host you again!
The unit was very clean. It is located in an excellent location. Within walking distance to a lot of places. The unit has plenty of towels, wash cloths and dishes. The area around the pool is small but a nice area to sit around and relax. They will send you a code to get in. When they say 4:00 they mean 4:00 not a minute sooner. We will definitely rent this unit again.
