Ocean View Villa | Bradenton Beach Vacation Rental
Immerse yourself in the Florida island life at this beach side vacation rental just steps to Holmes Beach and within walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, and more. Homes Beach is an active beach side community located approximately 8 miles from downtown Bradenton and offers a wide variety of water sports, sightseeing, and an appetite-quenching array of restaurants to dine at. Walk through the front door of this unit and enter into the main living space which is furnished with a large sectional sofa for lounging and watching TV on the 55" Flat screen TV. The kitchen is open to the main living area and is completely updated with new cabinets, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. There are two bedrooms one furnished with two twin-size beds and the other with a queen-size bed, which also has access to a small back patio.
Every Island attraction is right at your fingertips during your stay here. Whether you want to sink your toes in the soft white sands on the beach, or pause to watch the sunset over the tranquilly Gulf of Mexico Ocean, you’ll only have to walk a short distance. Come and experience for yourself why Anna Maria Island is considered Florida's hidden gem!
The free Island Trolley is ready to take you to the north end of the island to visit the village of Anna Maria, where two historic piers offer opportunities for fishing and dinning. Shops restaurants, galleries, and even a museum and community theater can also be found on the north end of the island.
Holmes Beach, you can get off the Trolley to enjoy more excellent shops and restaurants, as well as a marina, library, free community tennis courts, and several gyms open to visitors.
You will also want to explore the rest of Bradenton Beach. Historic Bridge Street was once the location of the very first bridge to the mainland. Today's Cortez Bridge, just a bit to the north, is made out of sturdier stuff than the original wood structure, but the original street is still there, and it is a fun place for shopping, dining, live music, a weekly open-air market (in season), fishing, and even miniature golf!

First, I want to say thank you to John Stutsman. John was extremely professional, very helpful, and very responsive to our needs.
The unit we stayed in was clean but a bit old. I would recommend that the bedding be replaced. That said, we are planning on making reservations for next year and at the same unit.....because it is feet from the beach.

The rental was true to the pictures posted online. The unit was clean. Kitchen supplies were well stocked such as pots and pans, cutlery etc... the bed was comfortable. Plenty of hot water w a nice big shower. The living room area is very comfy. Unit is less than a block from the beach, great location. The washer and dryer are onsite but not in the unit, it is around back. I didn’t see a smoke detector in the unit, which seems odd.
Overall, very nice unit I would recommend it to others looking for a beach rental.

The condo was well equipped, clean and neat. Our favorite part though was the quiet street and the close proximity to the beach. We appreciated the easy self check in and out. The only thing I would suggest is better beach equipment. The one chair that was there was rusty and wasn't really a beach chair it was a folding straight chair. we traveled in a two seater car and were relying on the chairs to be there. Maybe a deck box to keep beach equipment in to prevent rust would be an idea. We did have very noisy neighbors for the first 3 nights. They didn't have much respect for the quiet time on the island, coming in at 1 or 2 am very loudly. The next renters however, were very kind and a pleasure to have next door. We loved the island and look forward to returning soon!

Thank you for the feedback! We are always striving to improve our properties and make our guest stay more enjoyable. This property is located right next to the beautiful soft sands of Holmes Beach which include picturesque sunsets. This particular unit is located at the end of a three unit property. There are no units above you and it only share one cement block wall with one other unit.

It was cute and clean and quick walk to the beach.The only thing I could say to improve is we had 4 people in our group for 5 days and only 4 wash clothes and not enough towels but we made do. I also think toilet paper should have been supplied. Yes we was told about the toilet paper but I think it should be supplied. But we will be back love it so much. Thank you

Also, very convenient to have nearby shops and resataurants. . We had stayed in the area before and knew about events like the drumming at Nokomis beach. We look forward to coming back!

We had a great week staying in Ocean View Villa. We had everything we needed and even some things we didn't know that we needed. The Villa is very close to the beach and a great location on the island. The only issue we had was the mattress on the queen sized bed. There is nothing wrong with the mattress, it was just too soft for us. We prefer a firmer mattress. We ended up sleeping on the twin beds which were more comfortable to us.
With Irma heading that way the week before our vacation, I was in contact with the owners/managers several times through emails and phone calls. They got back to me quickly and kept me updated on the rental. They were so gracious and helpful and they worked really hard to get it ready. We will definitely stay here again!

The rental was clean and beautiful. I only had two issues.... 1- the grill was very small and only 1 side of it worked. 2- the dryers did not dry our clothes very well. We had to hang them up over night to dry. Other than that it was a good place to stay. Very close to the beach and walking distance to shops and the trolley .

We are in our 50's. My wife and I stayed here with another couple for 5 days in November '16. This is a great value for a 2 bedroom / 1 bath, small apartment across from the beach - Very clean and neat, and almost all completely remodeled and redecorated, with furnishings freshly updated... Open layout of kitchen and living area was very nice and functional. We used the Big screen TV across from sectional sofa in the evenings, but initially had a little trouble with remotes. Bathroom was nice and adequate for 2 couples vacationing together. Wi-Fi signal was good. Beds were really comfortable. We used large front patio for breakfast and just sitting around outside during the day before and after the beach. If this place were mine, I'd probably add some more tropical plantings, upgrade outside living furnishings, and then jack up the rent... But then I probably wouldn't have rented it because we were sensitive to price, and many other units abuse you with fees. We took our bikes along, parked them on our small back deck, and used them all the time...Rode all over the island. This is an amazing location for an active outdoor beach vacation. Its 2 blocks from services and shops but its still very quiet and convenient, and steps from the beach. You can park beside the apartment and walk to everything. We found the property manager to be very responsive. He's a great friendly young guy. We almost didn't rent because of the angry guy that posted those 2 bad reviews. This would have been unfortunate. Everyone in our party raved about the place and praised me for renting it for us. Truly an amazing and memorable vacation. Couldn't have been better. We will be back.

We found this property online and took a gamble with no online reviews at the time - so glad we did. It's a small place, but we couldn't have asked for more. Very recent renovations made for a bit more luxury than we were expecting. Great kitchen, nice bathroom, great front patio, excellent wi-fi and a nice huge TV. Expect small (the bedroom doors bump into each other), but it was big enough for our family (two parents and a teenager) to very comfortably hang together for our several day visit. It's so close to the beach it's practically beachfront, and the beach itself was spacious and hardly crowded at all. Highly recommended.
