Had a great stay! It was 2 couples and everyone enjoyed themselves. We walked to some of the restaurants and even did some shopping. One day was spent just sitting on the porch and watching the cars go by and the beach views. Note that the weekends get pretty busy and traffic is right in front of you. But didn’t bother us. Would stay here again!

A weekend getaway—can’t beat the location! And the view! Just fabulous!! The beach is steps away, right across the street—and so close to great restaurants. LOVED sitting on the front porch watching the traffic go by, taking in the view of the ocean, and of course the sunset! Property owner was quick in responding and offered great customer service. I would for sure stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Host profile image
U. S. C. G. master licensed captain Mike, advanced international scuba diver that is knowledgeable about the area he lives in. Mike is friendly, has enjoyed raising a family, working, and living in beautiful Bradenton for over 29 years, only a couple miles away from this beautiful panoramic beach view property and has no plans to leave.

"Our goal & wishes at Salty Living Island Rentals is that you have what you need and sincerely enjoy your stay... When you leave take mostly good memories, a few sand dollars, and many dreams of returning…"
Mike

Why they chose this property

Capt. Mike, owner of Salty Living Rentals & Property Services (SLRPS) Purchased this 2 story / 4-plex located right in the center of beautiful Bradenton Beach because of its location and proximity to the Beach, City Parks, and the Bay. The property has plenty of room with 5 on site parking spaces (for 4 apartments), two assigned parking spaces for the upstairs villa, one accessible from the front (west) & / or one from the rear (east, separate entrance) of the building. Addition daytime public parking is on the east side of the building a short 1/2 block away for a wedding or day time visitors.

What makes this property unique

When you stay here you can park your car and forget it (recommended). Everything you need is right here within walking distance or a short FREE Island Trolley ride away, including Historical Bridge Street, Bradenton Beach city pier and much of the BEST the island has to offer.
The Sand Dollar white sandy beach has natural wading pools just past the surf. Sometimes there is almost no surf at all, which is popular with relaxation seeking rafters. Wave runners, sail boats, kayaks, beach or charter scuba (ask diver, Capt. Mike or the local dive shop), and other watercraft rentals are just a short walk down the beach. Just let Capt. Mike know what type of water sport or leisure activity you wish for before or during your stay and he'll be happy to guide you in the right direction…
Wedding parties can walk from this location for all beach wedding arrangements.
