Description
This is a fully-equipped vacation rental:
All bed and bath linen are provided. There are bath towel sets for 10 guest and hairdryers in each bathroom. Need more towels? Just ask.
The kitchen is fully equipped for 10 guests. Every small appliance is provided. Like coffee? There are Keurig, drip, french press and espresso machines. We love to cook and we equipped the kitchen as if we were going to live there. (Yes, there are sharp knives in a designated drawer!) If you don't see what you need - just ask.
We have not forgotten what it is like to travel with infants and small children. There is a pack-n-play for each level, 2 highchairs, 2 strollers, a crib, and a baby changing station (just bring or buy your own disposable changing pads). There is also a children's portable picnic table for use inside or on the veranda - great for eating and playing. Sometimes small children find it difficult to sleep alone or in a strange place and want to sleep with their parents, so we placed a 6” mattress cot in the master bedroom’s 2-door 10’x5’ (9’ ceiling) closet opening onto the master bedroom that guests have told us solved this age-old problem.
We recently installed top-rated hurricane doors and windows that dawhisperutside noise to a wisper. There are blackout shades on all windows and entry doors to make it easier for children and adults to fall asleep or sleep-in. All bedrooms have motion detector night lights as do each bathroom and hallway.
There are phone/tablet/ computer charging stations in each bedroom and main living level.
The living area and all bedrooms have Amazon Echo Dots for "Drop-In" intercom, weather reports, music, etc. Just say "Amazon" to get started.
The beach is a 2-minute stroll from the house (see photos). Beach carts, chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, and cooler are provided.
The private elevator makes bringing in groceries and luggage a breeze - it is accessible from the carport to all living levels.
The heated saltwater pool is private for the exclusive use of your guests and you (guests can set the temperature up to 85 degrees - any higher will destabilize the salt solution).
The master bedroom suite seats 8+ on the veranda facing the Gulf of Mexico; great for watching spectacular Gulf sunsets and just chilling out. The serene blue-green Gulf waters...the brilliant orange and blue sunsets...the smell and sound of the surf...will lower your blood pressure and make you feel good to be alive!
There is off-street parking for 6 cars (2 under the carport).
There is a designated smoking area on the grounds with seating and umbrella for protection from the sun and elements. Just ask us when you get here where it is on the property.
My husband and I love the beach - Negril, Jamaica, and Ocean City, New Jersey are our favorites. When we retired, we looked for a place that had the best of both beaches - we found it in Bradenton Beach. It is safer than Negril, and less crowded and less commercial than Ocean City. My husband says it reminds him of the New Jersey shore in the early '60s.
The beach is 170 steps from our door (Jen’s gait!) and is never crowded, not even during the peak winter season. It almost feels like it's our own private beach.
There is plenty to do here. The restaurants are great. Want to explore the Island? Everything on the Island is accessible via the free air-conditioned trolley running every twenty minutesor by free jitney services.
Historic Bridge Street, with its restaurants, bars and grilles, live music, shops, and historic pier, is a 20-minute walk from the home. Don't want to drive on a night out on the town? Free jitney services will take you to-and-fro day or night. They work for tips.
For those who want to fish, Anna Maria Island is known as one of the best fishing locations in Florida. There are a fishing pier and party fishing boats down the street. Serious about catching fish? Consider chartering a private fishing boat from one of the Island’s licensed captains (it is often said they know where the fish are!).
Like to shop? World-famous St. Armand's Circle and Sarasota are minutes away. Prime Outlets (130 designer and brand-name outlet stores) is nearby, but not too close to threaten your vacation budget!
Have kids, or just want to act like one? Busch Gardens in Tampa is about an hour away, and Disney World 2 hours.

Policies
appreciate the exceptionally clean condition they find the home in when they arrive (See the 100+ reviews on the
HomeAway.com site, HA 336569).
Check-out is 10 am, and check-in is 4 pm, which means our cleaners have, at best, 5 hours to clean the home. All
we ask of our guests is that they treat our home as they treat their own.
1. GARAGE – No vehicles of any kind may be stored in the garage.
2. PETS - No Pets, or friends' visiting pets, are allowed on premises unless TENANT receives prior written
approval from OWNER in advance of stay. If permitted, there is a nonrefundable pet fee of $350.00.
3. SMOKING - No Smoking is permitted in the HOME, verandas, or garage. There is a designated area on the
grounds for smoking. Please ask the OWNER when you get here to show you where.
4. DIAPERS must be double-bagged in sealed plastic bags.
5. WINDOWS and DOORS - all windows and doors should be closed when using air conditioner or heater
(dah!).
6. INDOOR FURNITURE – Please keep indoor furniture, cushions and pillows indoors to keep them from
insect infestation. This is Florida after all.
7. BEACH SAND – We know how much our guests appreciate how clean the HOME is when they get here, so
please help by rinsing sand off your body, clothing and feet before entering the HOME, and rinse the beach
equipment before placing in garage (this retards rusting of equipment, making guests' stays more
enjoyable). Showers and hoses are located in the carports at rear of Units A and B.
8. TRASH PICKUP MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS – By Bradenton Beach City Ordinance, all trash,
including pizza boxes, must be in sealed plastic trash bags and placed in the green bin (no loose trash in
bin). Place bin out front at the curb on the north side of the HOME(to the right of the pool fence) with handle
facing the street before 7am on Monday and Thursday.
9. RECYCLING PICKUP ON THURSDAYS ONLY - By Bradenton Beach City Ordinance, all metal, glass
and plastic containers are to be rinsed and placed in blue bin . Place bin out front at the curb on the north
side of the HOME with the handle facing the street before 7am on Thursday.
10. WHEN AWAY FROM THE HOME – We believe we all must be kind to our Earth, so please set the air
conditioner to 78° whenever you leave the HOME, and turn off all lights except one or two. All doors and
windows should be closed and locked.
11. PATIO DOORS and WINDOWS – Please keep all door and windows closed when the air conditioner is in
use. We know these are little things, but even little things help our Earth.
12. SLIDING SCREENS FOR DOORS – Please use the sliding screens whenever you have the patio doors
open. Again, this will help keep termites from infesting the HOME as well as keep palmetto bugs from
infesting your personal items. And to answer your question,”yes, palmetto bugs are large cockroaches!”
Yucky! And Florida “love bugs” swarm several times a year and are a real annoyance especially when they
get into the HOME.
13. OUTDOOR LIGHT – Please keep exterior lights attached to the HOME off when you are not outside.
Florida has six different kinds of termites, and although they are most aggressive in the spring, summer, and
fall seasons, they do swarm year-round, and are attracted by light and heat, that is why we have landscape
lighting shining away from the home.
The following procedures are offered in the same spirit as the POLICIES, namely, to give our guests a home as
clean as their own. Your following these procedures will help us to do so, but know we don't want you to get
stressed out by them.
It would be a great help for our cleaners if you would:
1. Strip the beds (sheets, pillow cases, quilts and/or bedspreads) and place them on the floor near the washer.
Please leave in place the mattress covers and pillow covers.
2. Do the same for used bath towels, etc., and place them in a separate pile on the floor in front of the washer.
3. Our cleaners will clean the refrigerator. No need to remove any items, our cleaners will remove them for
you.
4. Everything else in the kitchen should be washed and put away.
5. Please clean the grill grates and the grease catch pan.
6. DIAPERS should be double-bagged in sealed plastic bags.
7. The manner of disposing of trash and recyclables is governed by Bradenton Beach City. All trash must be placed in string-tied sealed plastic trash bags. Only string-tied sealed trash bags should be placed in the blue bin on side of the home. Pizza boxes are to be placed in string-tied sealed plastic
bags. RECYCLABLES shall be rinsed before placing in the blue bin. Please do not place recycled items in separate plastic bags. Again, this is a municipal requirement. BEACH CHAIRS, RAFTS, TOYS, UMBRELLA, and CARTS should be rinsed of sand and placed in the garage where you found them. It would be appreciated if you would sweep sand from garage.

Amazing Home! Amazing Hosts!
Jen & Joe are amazing hosts that really go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable! Their house is beautiful and the location is a perfectly short walk to the beach and other great amenities. We will definitely be back!

Home away from home!
Our family of six just returned from a week in Florida at Bradenton Beach. This home was a wonderful place for us. We "VRBO" when we travel all the time and the personal touch of having the owner's next door was a wonderful change of pace for us. Jen and Joe greeted us upon arrival to make sure we were familiar with everything. They got us started with a wonderful recommendation for dinner that night (saving me the research and guesswork!). After that we cooked most meals at home. The kitchen is so well stocked, it made cooking a great experience ... not often the case in a rental! The rest of the home was the same ... a lot of little thoughtful details to make our stay perfect. We were well equipped for our beach days with plenty of chairs, umbrellas and beach towels along with a wagon, beach cart and cooler to get it all there. It was nice to have everything we needed without having to buy it on arrival. It is obvious that Jen and Joe really care about their guests and want to provide the best experience possible. From a seasoned VRBO guest, I highly recommend this property. Thank you Jen and Joe for a wonderful vacation!
Stayed June, 2020
Just Wha We Needed!
Check-in was seamless. The home was exactly what we expected, quick walk to the beach, and a relaxing week after the stress of 2020. The owners are truly kind and ensured we had a great stay at every turn.

Owner Cares!
Joe and Jen greeted us warmly when we arrived and said "goodbye" at the end of our lovely stay on Bradenton Beach! This home is on a nice quiet street but is very close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We highly recommend this property on Anna Maria Island!
Stayed April, 2020
Amazing Owners
Through the entire rental/vacation process the owners, Joe and Jen, have been extremely helpful and easy to work with. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 crisis we needed to cancel our vacation rental. Joe and Jen were extremely gracious and offered to change our rental dates or refund our stay. While the property is beautiful and the location wonderful, we chose to change our rental dates due to the quality of the owners. We look forward to our stay in the future and would recommend this property to everyone.

The owners were quite gracious when we were forced to cancel our upcoming vacation due to the corona virus. I expected a big hassle but that didn’t happen. Thank you for being so kind and considerate.

Jen and Joe were gracious and generous with us as we cancelled our May 20 beach trip. We were devastated but felt we needed to cancel in light of the covid-19 crisis. Thank you Jen and Joe and we hope to rent from you as soon as possible. Dan and Kathy Kemplin

We had to cancel our vacation due to the current crisis. The hosts were immediately responsive and helpful. We look forward to returning to this wonderful place when all of this is finished.

Outstanding!
This property is perfect. Amazing location close to the beach and wonderfully equipped. They even thought of the little touches for our 2-year-old. Joe and Jen are wonderful, caring people; they did everything to ensure that we had a great time. When our trip was interrupted by our current events, they continued to be gracious and generous and even made sure everyone was able to depart when they needed with anything needed. This spot and this couple are truly a dream come true, and we are so grateful. We can’t wait to return for a full week!
