Island Daze · Pet-Friendly · 1 Block to Gulf

4BR · 2BA · Sleeps 8 · 1 Block to Gulf · Pet-Friendly ($150 Fee) · 2025 Renovation · Gas Grill · Cornhole · Beach Gear Shed · 4-Car Parking · Boat & Jet Ski Parking · Walk to Bridge Street · Washer/Dryer

One block from the Gulf. A short stroll to Bridge Street. Parking for 2 cars. Island Daze is a Bradenton Beach vacation rental that covers the practical side of a family or group trip.

The home was completely renovated in 2025. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a single-level layout that keeps everyone on the same floor. The master suite has a king bed with an en-suite bathroom. Two guest bedrooms each have a queen bed. The fourth bedroom has two twin beds — right for kids or two guests who don't need to share. Eight guests sleep comfortably without anyone on a sofa.

The backyard is where the group ends up after the beach. Gas grill for cookouts. Cornhole for the afternoon. A storage shed stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys — grab everything on the way out and leave it when you come back. The large living area has a 55" smart TV for movie nights when the day winds down.

The fully equipped kitchen handles meals for eight. In-unit washer and dryer. High-speed WiFi throughout. The free Anna Maria Island trolley stops nearby — Bridge Street's restaurants, bars, and live music are a short walk, and the trolley puts the full length of the island within easy reach without moving your car.

Pets are welcome with a $150 non-refundable fee. No fenced yard — worth knowing if you're traveling with a dog that needs a contained outdoor space.

Island Daze requires a one-week minimum stay with parking for up to two vehicles.

*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due

The location truly was amazing, very short walk to the beach and to little shops and restaurants. Seemed like a very safe area. Beautiful house, super clean and very well stocked, even found some superglue that I needed to use. The best part was their provision of beach stuff! Anything and everything you could want, big beach cart, lots of nice beach chairs, boogie board, tons of beach toys, beach towels, a little cooler, etc. So helpful! A little hose around the side so we could rinse off all the sand. I would definitely stay here again, this might’ve been the best overall house we’ve ever stayed in. Just a note for those who are going to stay, bring some extra toilet paper, paper towels, and coffee if you drink it. But they provided a lot of stuff like laundry detergent, dish soap, tin foil, plastic wrap, trash bags, etc. Parking was not a problem as you can park a few cars in the grass if needed. The entryway little room was great for holding all the beachy sandy stuff and shoes and such. Both showers worked great, very nice water pressure and easy to use. We cooked a good bit there and had no problem. I felt like it was a great price also. The beach was not crowded at all, and the area was generally quiet at night. Easy to get Walmart grocery delivery when arrived. I called and spoke to a very friendly someone before we came so I knew exactly what I needed to bring and what I didn’t. Highly recommend this place! It was my spouse and I and our 2 small children

Our first time using VRBO or any vacation rental company. We had an excellent stay. I said in another rating email, that the only ding I have is that the parking for the property should be marked with signs for the property. I was always worried about getting towed away. The house was very nice and clean. Had a small issue with WIFI because name and password did not match the email sent to me. The staff was helpful and responsive. We would absolutely stay in the property again.

Perfect weekend!

We were in town for my sister’s wedding. We stayed for 4 days/3 nights at the property and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was close to the venue (The Beach house Restaurant) and within walking distance to the beach. Plenty of shops around and very close to Bridge Street, that has several bars and restaurants for night time activities. The property itself was very roomy with lots of space for our group of 6 (5 adults and 1 teen). There were all of the beach accessories that you could ever ask for! Wakeboard, sand toys, beach chairs, beach canopy, beach mat…ect. Although we did decide to go out to eat and order in food the kitchen was properly stocked with all the items that one could ever need. We’re already on planning to return to this house and explore the island again.

Awesome Location/Spacious Property

After the tragic storms that hit this area of Florida I was pleasantly surprised to walk into a fabulous well appointed property with no visibility to any impact from the storms. The location close to the beach and Bridge Street and all its charms was amazing. My companion Lucy my mixed breed beagle enjoyed all the comforts of home. With all the space in the property I wish now I had invited some friends to join me.

We had a great stay! The home is all completely remodeled and very clean. Walked across the street to the beautiful beach and down to the pier every day. Our neighbors were very nice. Trolly stop is just down the street as well. A very relaxing vacation!

Great house great location

Overall we enjoyed our stay! The neighborhood was super quiet despite being close to the main road & the bridge. The next door neighbor was so sweet to our family. It is close to Bridge St. where there is a mini golf course, shopping & dining. Oma’s pizza & two scoops ice cream is close walking distance. We accessed the beach right beside the Beach House Restaurant which takes just a few minutes to walk to. Right behind the house is a small playground & pickleball court (not part of the house, but behind the fence). The police station is also right behind the house so we felt very safe but never heard sirens. Pets are allowed in this home but the home was very clean-no evidence of pet fur or smell. This is the first time we have stayed at a beach home & they didn’t have spices so if you are doing a lot of cooking & there are certain ingredients you need or special cookware, bring it. The house is much more spacious than the pictures show. It is very open when you first walk in. To the left are 3 bedrooms 1 bathroom. At the very back is the master suite with a bathroom that includes the washer & dryer. You access the back door from the master. Parking to the public is allowed on the east side of the street & sometimes it was completely empty. No one ever blocked us. We had one car in the paved driveway & the other in the yard. The golf cart trolley comes right to the house and takes you where you want to go (with some restrictions of course). Communication was quick. A gem!
