About this property

⚓Gated Estate: 2 Houses, Outdoor Turf Area & Game Room⚓⛳

75 Palms by Anchor Down Holiday Rentals

Step through the gates of this private Bradenton estate and you'll find not one home but two, wrapped around a pool courtyard built for a crowd. A large activity turf area as well as a pickleball court, three-hole putting green, and a game room keep the fun going long after the beach trip winds down. Sleeping up to 23 across eight bedrooms, it's a rare Bradenton holiday rental made for big family reunions.

Location
75 Palms sits on a private, gated lot in Bradenton — inland from the beach but close to everything. Walk to Robinson Preserve and the De Soto National Memorial or make the short 15-minute drive to the Gulf's blue water and white sand beaches. Publix is five minutes away, and Sarasota/Bradenton Airport is short drive, with Tampa International about an hour out. Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and Tampa are all within easy reach too, making this Bradenton holiday rental a convenient home base whether you're beach-bound or exploring the wider area.

Property & Access
Both the main house and guest house are single-story with no stairs to navigate. The main house offers a total of 5 bedrooms. The guest house has three bedrooms each open directly to their own private patio entrance — a nice setup for grandparents, teenagers, or anyone who wants a little separation from the main gathering. A large circular driveway plus double-gated front and back entrances give you room for up to 10 vehicles, with plenty of space for an RV or boat/caravan. The garage is not available for guest use.

Tech & Entertainment
The game room is the heart of this property — recently updated with a single 98-inch smart TV, a billiards table, foosball, arcade games, plus desks with spare monitors if anyone needs to log on or set up a second gaming system. Every bedroom has its own Roku TV, and whole property Wi-Fi runs at a fast 1 Gbps, so streaming and video calls keep up no matter how many guests are connected at once.

Kitchen & Comfort
The main house kitchen is fully equipped with all-new appliances and a bar that seats a crowd, backed up by a Keurig, drip, and espresso machine plus a grinder to keep coffee drinkers happy. A blender, toaster, and crock pot round out meal prep, and extra refrigeration is everywhere you'd want it — Two Full size fridges are located in the main house, two drink coolers, & a mini fridge at the outdoor kitchen, and another fridge in the guest house along with another mini fridge. Both houses have their own washing machine and dryer, and high-quality towels, linens, and beach towels are provided throughout. A pack 'n play and high chair are on hand for the youngest guests, and board games are stocked for a quieter night in.

Where to begin? The property is as advertised! Magnificent main house with well equipped bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen. The game room/great room is amazing. Great for kids and adults. The grounds are well maintained and the exterior wall provides next level privacy. The Host was responsive and easy to reach with routine questions. A wonderful home for large gatherings. A perfect home base for our son’s wedding. Highly recommend this property!

We had a great stay at this rental home in Bradenton, Florida! The house provided plenty of space for our family to relax and enjoy time together. The pool was definitely a highlight—clean, refreshing, and perfect for both kids and adults. We also appreciated the proximity to the beach, which was convenient and made day trips easy.While we thoroughly enjoyed the home, we did feel that a few areas could use a bit of TLC to bring it up to the standard you’d expect at this price point, which is more in line with a luxury property. With a few upgrades, this home could easily go from great to exceptional.Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we made great memories here!

Wonderful Wedding Experience

We visited Bradenton for a wedding and reception for about 60 people. We ended up finding out that we were allowed to have a reception at the house and it was the perfect fit. Twenty of us stayed at the house, we had our ceremony on Holmes Beach and then came back to the house for a reception. There was plenty of room for the DJ, Caterers, bar items, tables, etc. it was literally perfect for our day. We are so thankful for all of the amenities and the memories we were able to make using this property! We will be back.

Family vacation 2024

The house turned out to be great for our family. Unfortunately, this house came up on VRBO as being the first one listed for Anna Maria Island, Florida. The house is actually in Bradenton, Florida almost 1/2 hour from Anna Marie Island. The house was well stocked other than dish towels. The children had plenty to do with the pool, the game room and toys that we brought. The house seemed clean but all of us woke up with bed bug bites that did not exist on our bodies when we went to Bed. The bedrooms probably all need to be fumigated.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with the air conditioner, hot tub, and the debris around the property. I am not sure why the review says you never got a call back? My Maintenace guy Rich was over at the property several times during your stay and the AC vendor also came out twice to look at the system for yall. Additionally, we experienced significant debris due to the tropical storm, which impacted the property during your stay. We also have the pool guy service the pool and hot tub twice a week to ensure things stay up to par during guest stays. I am sorry you dealt with these issues during your stay and apologize that you feel we didnt do enough to make things perfect during your stay.

Main house does have cockroaches and should be fumigated. Never did receive any working coffee pot in main house. Couldn't use the Hot Tub (should have been disclosed to us, as according to the pool guy he has been working a couple of weeks. Outlets in the kitchen didn't work and couldn't find breaker. Dishwasher does not work properly. Towels/sheets, etc. are a little long in the tooth and need updating. The place seemed a bit tired and may need a freshening. Could not get early access, but the cleaning company was waiting in the driveway at 9:45am for our departure. When corresponding with the host (via text) they didn't even know when our stay was ended. They offered to fix coffee maker, etc. and never did. I reached out prior to completing this survey and they offered a 25.00 discount. As a frequent VRBO customer, I would NOT recommend this VRBO.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that several aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. We take concerns regarding pests very seriously, and the home is serviced regularly by pest control. That said, we will certainly have the property reinspected and treated again out of an abundance of caution. We also apologize for the inconvenience surrounding the coffee maker and understand your frustration that a replacement was not delivered during your stay as intended. Regarding the hot tub, we regret that it was unavailable during your visit. We understand this was disappointing, and we agree that clearer communication could have been better in this situation. We are also reviewing the concerns you mentioned about the kitchen outlets, dishwasher, linens, and general upkeep with our maintenance and housekeeping teams to ensure improvements are made. As for checkout day, our cleaning team’s early arrival was intended to prepare for incoming guests and not to rush your departure, though we understand how that may have felt uncomfortable. We also apologize for any confusion in communication regarding your reservation dates. We appreciate your candid feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve the guest experience moving forward.

Excellent Property for a Large Group

This property suited our large group very well. It feels like a contained private compound being surrounded by a cement wall, and in a very nice quiet neighbourhood. There were plenty of bedrooms and beds, lots of bathrooms and the best equipped VRBO that we have ever stayed in, including kitchen equipment, dishes, cutlery, appliances beach towels, and indoor towels. The outdoor space is large and very enjoyable. Lots of tables, chairs, lounges. A large pool, separate hot tub, putting green, covered barbecue area including sink and refrigerators, and the grassed area allowed for our large group enjoy a lot of fun and laughs. The games room is large and equipped with pool table, foosball table, and large TV with plenty of seating. Location is close to anything you need and near beach areas. The very few issues we had were addressed very promptly. Overall the property and management company get 5 stars.

We never used the kitchen in the guest house. Outdoor kitchen area was great!! We hardly left the place! Kids enjoyed the hot tub, pool and game room. Keep in mind this has a main house with a rather large guest house. Everyone had their own space! Publix is 5 mins away. Anna Marie island took over an hour to get there with traffic. Bummer. Could use some cheaper coolers to keep bevs on ice around the pool. We left a cheaper corn hole set there. We like throwing bags and drinking beer! No see em bugs were bad. Bring bug spray. Great place and recommend it!! Maybe some bicycles would be a great addition too.

Soccer Tournament Getaway

Our group traveled to Bradenton for a soccer tournament. We had a large group to accommodate. The house was the perfect size for what we needed, and for a large group. Everything was clean and new. We could tell it was newly renovated and it was beautiful. The large eating areas (inside and out) are great for groups. There is a lot of storage and space to spread out. The game room, pool and hot tub were great for entertaining the kids and parents. It allowed us to spend most of our time at the house (besides the soccer fields) The house is extremely well stocked. We had everything we needed. The extra fridge in the laundry room was perfect and needed for this large of a group. There was a pack and play and a high chair for the little one in our group. A couple things to note: -there are beach chairs outside in storage (we did not find those until the last day) - there is a lot of tupperware, which was amazing since we were doing a lot of cooking and storing - bug spray, one night we got a lot of bites outside We will be booking this house early for next year! Thanks.
