Lakefront Condo · IMG Academy 5 Min · Anna Maria Island 15 Min· Pools & Hot Tubs
This is one of the most consistently loved Bradenton vacation rentals on the Gulf Coast — a spacious, beautifully maintained 2-bedroom condo inside Shorewalk Vacation Villas, with two resort pools, two hot tubs, and Anna Maria Island just fifteen minutes from your front door. Guests come back year after year. Once you stay, that will make complete sense.
Whether your trip is built around IMG Academy, a week of Gulf Coast beach days, or a warm snowbird escape, this is the kind of place that feels like yours within an hour of arriving.
THE SPACE At 1,250 sq ft, this second-floor Gulf Coast condo rental gives you genuine room to spread out and settle in. Being on the second floor means no foot traffic above or below, elevated views, and the kind of cross-breeze that makes Florida mornings genuinely enjoyable. The open living and dining area seats four and flows directly onto the screened lanai — the kind of outdoor space that turns a morning coffee into an hour well spent. Every room is bright, comfortable, and set up for real living, not just sleeping.
The kitchen is fully equipped from top to bottom — full appliances, complete cookware, and everything you need to cook and eat in like a local. Publix and Aldi are both a short walk away. The master bedroom has a king bed, walk-in closet, flat-screen TV, and an ensuite with double sinks. The guest bedroom has two twin beds with a full bath nearby — ideal for kids, a second couple, or teammates traveling together. In-unit washer and dryer, high-speed WiFi, Smart TVs, and beach chairs for your Anna Maria Island days are all included.
THE RESORT Shorewalk Vacation Villas is a full resort destination built around the water. Two heated pools, two hot tubs, tennis, pickleball, basketball, bocce, shuffleboard, scenic lakeside walking paths, a clubhouse with billiards, and BBQ grills — all within beautifully maintained grounds that most guests genuinely never want to leave. Restaurants, groceries, and shops are all within easy walking distance of the front door.
5 MINUTES FROM IMG ACADEMY IMG Academy is one of the most prestigious sports training institutions on the planet — and this Florida beach condo sits just five minutes from its gates. Families traveling for tournaments, recruiting visits, and showcase events return here because it offers something no hotel can: a real home base with a full kitchen, two resort pools, two hot tubs, and a private lanai to decompress on after a long day on the sidelines. This is IMG Academy accommodation that actually feels like a vacation.
15 MINUTES FROM ANNA MARIA ISLAND Anna Maria Island vacation days start here and end well — fifteen minutes to Coquina Beach, Bean Point, and the clearest turquoise water on the Gulf Coast. Pack the cooler, grab the beach chairs we provide, and make a full day of it. Lunch at the Sandbar Restaurant on the water, or Skinny's Place for what many locals call the best grouper sandwich on the island.

We love our stay. The condo is beautiful and well equipped. Everything is very close (grocery stores, restaurant, shopping, etc.). We loved the fact that we could used two different pools onsite and we also visited the local beaches. We'll definitely stay here again the next time we visit family.

Thank you Kelli for reviewing your stay. It was wonderful hosting your vacation and we look forward to seeing you again the next time you are in Bradenton. Happy holidays.
The accommodations of the condo was as described the living room TV is a little high on the wall so you end up with a stiff neck if watching too long. As for the amenities the large Pool was dirty we seen a Band-Aid on the bottom of the pool on Monday our last day we left the pool cleaning guys were at the pool and the Band-Aid was still there after they left. We seem to be the only people that were harassed about pool passes multiple times during each day it seemed like we were the only ones that were asked for them Others had rafts and balls in the pool drinks on the apron and not and nothing was said to anyone.Parking was another issue the whole time we were there we were unable to park in front of the building we stayed at I was constantly searching other lots for parking spots and every night they had a card game tournament till 3am we could hear people talking and laughing the whole entire time.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, we truly appreciate it. We’re glad the condo met your expectations overall, and we’ll review the TV positioning for added comfort. We’ve shared your comments regarding the pool and amenities with the HOA for follow-up.
We were surprised to hear about your experience with the clubhouse staff, as they’re typically known for being very friendly, but we’ve passed this along for review. During your stay, a few large community events temporarily impacted parking availability, this is not typical, and parking is usually much more accessible.
We weren’t notified of the noise during your stay, but had we known, we would have promptly reached out to surrounding owners to address it.
Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate it and hope to host you again.
Love the beautiful condo! Condo was decorated beautifully with comfortable beds. Great location to everything and the beaches were just a short drive away. Also the complex and condo was very quiet. Had a very peaceful, relaxing time there! Really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there again!

Thank you Michelle for your review. It was lovely hosting your vacation and stay. We'd look forward to hosting you again the next time you are in the area and visiting IMG.
The condo was very clean, updated & perfect for our family! The pools were clean and well maintained. The only issue we experienced was the very rude member at the pool grilling us on why we were there.

Thank you Kyle for your kind feedback about the condo and amenities. We’re glad to hear that the condo was a great fit for your family. We sincerely apologize for the negative interaction you experienced at the pool. This type of behavior is unacceptable, and we've already brought this up to the association's attention. They've sent a memo to all owners and their guests reminding them to treat every guest with courtesy and respect when in the pool area. Thank you again for allowing us to host your stay and we hope to you see you again soon.
We had a wonderful stay at Ervin's condo. The condo is beautiful and modern. The complex has 2 pools, pickleball courts and is about a 15 mins drive to the local beaches. It's also within walking distance to the grocery stores and restaurants. We plan on coming back in the winter and we will definitely stay with Ervin again.
