About this property

On The Water - Large Resort Home perfect for family reunions - It's Paradise!

This home is on a quiet dead end street directly on Palma Sola Bay with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico and local bays where dolphins are seen often. The house has spectacular views of the bay leading out to Anna Maria Island. It has six (6) bedrooms, four (4) bathrooms. Located in northwest Bradenton, the drive is usually less than 15 minutes to the island beaches. It is also just a short bike ride, run or kayak paddle away from Robinson Preserve. The house is surrounded by tropical landscaping, has a heated swimming pool, a large hot tub, and a private dock. It is a great place for family reunions or a retreat to nature. This is a great off island property that has lots of parking.

The home has a large master bedroom, located on the 2nd floor with french doors leading to the deck / balcony area overlooking the pool and the bay. It has a king-size bed and large full private bathroom. Note that all of the bedrooms have plenty of closet space, tvs , fans, etc. Adjacent to the master bedroom is a room with 3 twin beds along with an office desk overlooking the pool and bay. On the other side of the house, there are two more bedrooms also located on the 2nd floor with its own stairway access. One is a king bedroom that has a toddler bed, the other is a large bunk bedroom with 5 twin beds and 1 full bed. This room can sleep up to 6 kids, if needed. There is a shared bathroom between these two uptair bedrooms. A door connects the bunkroom to a closet that is also the closet for the master bedroom.

On the 1st floor, is another king bedroom perfect for grandparents or those who cannot manage the stairs. The 5th bedroom also on the 1st floor, has a queen bed with a toddler bed. The two downstairs bedrooms also share another large bathroom.The 4th bathroom is located at the rear of the house and doubles as the pool / patio bathroom, as it has two doors, one from the living room area and the rear patio area. The pool bath towels are usually in this bathroom.

The home has a beautiful kitchen that is fully outfitted for everything you would need. Bedrooms have their own tv and there is also a large tv in the living room, and outside patio. Spectrum provides the cable and the high speed Internet.The entire house has beautiful tiled floors, several rooms having wood finished ceilings. The dining room can handle up to 16 guests with the two added bar / eating areas in the kitchen. The living room area has seating for 10 to 12 guests. The laundry room has full-size washer & dryer located off the kitchen, and cabinets for extra storage.

The billiards / pool table room is directly off the front of the house. There are also plenty of board games, variety of books, and a stereo. We have a foosball table and a game table. The outside heated swimming pool(solar and a heat pump) and covered patio area is quite large and overlooks the bay. It has plenty of lounge chairs, several patio tables, a large BBQ grill area, and a pool refrigerator. We also have a Ping Pong table and an outdoor TV.

This property is fabulous and has a large back yard area overlooking the bay. The water is beautiful and has numerous fish, we occasionally have manatees and dolphins right by the dock. There are also a variety of ducks, blue herons, osprey, eagles, roseate spoonbill(my favorite), white pelicans in the winter, and other wild aquatic birds. The dock is great to watch sunsets from, go fishing, or simply enjoy eating out on the picnic table located right on the dock. This vacation home is just 'off island' and you can be on Anna Maria island beaches in roughly 15 minutes - depending on traffic. The property is close (within a 5 minute drive) to a variety of restaurants, grocery stores, shops, movie theaters, golf courses, bowling alleys, etc. Publix is a great grocery store and offers delivery.

This vacation home offers everything for that well deserved tropical getaway. Our past guest love the natural setting and prefer this location to the island with less traffic and your own paradise you may not want to leave. We also have lots of parking which is a great value you won't find with other properties.

The landscape lights at night creates that resort feel. This is a quiet location and great place to relax with family and friends. Please curtail any loud noise after 10PM.

If you need bikes, kayaks or other items please contact one of the local vendors in the area.

Includes one wet slip. Bring your own boat or rent one. Slip is limited to one 23 foot boat. Water depth is around 2 feet on low tide. If you have 2 boats let us know and we can usually accomodate 2 boats.

Mobility info - There is a step down to the pool and family room areas.

This is a general description and some things move around or change from time to time.

The outdoor space around the pool area and porch have an automated misting system for keeping the mosquitos away. The misting is only a few seconds and the times vary but are around 6:20AM, 6:45 PM, 8PM, and 2 AM. While there is never a guarantee there will be no bugs, this sytem is pretty good to allow you to enjoy the outsides.

We are happy to share this house and this recent review is what we try to acheive -"We could not recommend anyplace higher. We rent a VRBO each year for our family get together and this one has certainly been the best yet!"

Team trip
We stayed there as a youth (16 year old) girls soccer team and it was perfect! We travel every month and stay at lots of different rental homes; this home had everything we needed and worked perfect. You WILL need bug spray but everything was as described and great for a large home.

Perfect Spot!
Our stay was perfect! We had several soccer players at the IMG Showcase Tournament and this was a perfect place to relax between games. We were 20 minutes from the field and it was nice to have a retreat to relax and stretch out vs a hotel. Also great to have a nature preserve in walking distance with miles of hiking and running trails! We would definitely stay here again.
