About this property

Sandcastle 3 · 8 Restaurants Nearby · Gulf Front

3BR · 2BA · Sleeps 8 · Gulf Front · Private Veranda · 8 Restaurants in 5-Min Walk · City Pier · Cortez Village Views · Heated Pool · 10-Ft Ceilings · Granite Kitchen · In-Unit Washer/Dryer · Undercover Parking

Eight restaurants within a five-minute walk. The city pier two blocks down where sailboats pass in front of Cortez fishing village — the spot where artists and photographers set up for a reason. Bridge Street's shops, cafés, and Key West-style boutiques all within easy strolling distance. Sandcastle 3 is a Gulf-front Bradenton Beach vacation rental where most guests report not needing their car for the entire stay.

The private veranda overlooks the beach directly — the right spot for morning coffee and evening sunsets over the Gulf. Ten-foot ceilings open the interior up considerably for a three-bedroom unit. The kitchen has granite countertops, maple cabinets, and stainless steel appliances — fully equipped for a week of meals at home.

Three bedrooms sleep eight. The master suite has a king bed. Both guest bedrooms have queen beds. The living room sofa bed handles the remaining guests. Two full bathrooms. An in-unit washer and dryer. Heated pool on-site. Undercover parking for two cars.

The free Anna Maria Island trolley stops nearby for exploring the full length of the island. For guests who want to fish or simply watch the water, the city pier is two blocks away — one of the better vantage points on the southern end of the island for watching the boat traffic between the Gulf and Tampa Bay.

Sandcastle 3 requires a one-week minimum stay with undercover parking for two vehicles. Not pet-friendly.
