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.

Great beach getaway

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!

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.

Perfect for large families. Location was perfect!

We fell in love with this little gem. We had a family of eight. Plenty of room for everyone. The location was perfect for walking to everything we needed. The police station was only a couple houses down. Very safe area. All the beach supplies we could need comes with the rental. The kids loved the cornhole game. We definitely stay here in the future.

Great Vacation Stay

We had a wonderful time at this house. It was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The beach chairs, umbrellas and cart were a great help. The walk to the beach is quick and easy. There are shops and restaurants close by to walk to. The only thing I would question is the description says there is parking for 4 vehicles and you could bring your boat or toys to park. The driveway only fits one vehicle and the street was always taken up by other vehicles of people coming to the beach. I would definitely stay here again!

Although the weather didn't cooperate during our stay, we enjoyed many mornings on the patio. We walked on the beach, only steps across the street. We love the location, parking space, and the cottage. There is plenty of space to sleep, entertain, and eat. The staff quickly responded to a minor repair to the toilets. This is our second time renting here. We will come back.

Great rental!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was perfect for our family vacation. They were updating the irrigation system and yard while we were staying there, so while it was nice they were making updates, we were not aware that would be going on. When I had reached out to the management company, they were very accommodating and took full responsibility for not letting us know. The entire inside of the house has been updated, so the house looks even better than the pictures. The shed had a nice grill, beach gear(chairs, blanket, easy up tent, toys, etc) and a bags set. It was a perfect location to the beach and down to bridge street as well, so we did a lot of walking. Our stay was great and we will definitely stay here again.

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

Great place, comfy, clean and good location by the beach.

Overall we had a great time. It was clean, beds and couches were comfy (and appeared new), has a washer/dryer, it was close to the beach (1.5 blocks ~ 5 minute walk), and there was everything we needed for the beach too (beach towels, umbrellas, beach cart, chairs, kids toys, floaties/noodles, cooler). Washer/dryer works great too! And there's TV's in the rooms. Place had a lot of room (there were 7 of us total) and the main area was big enough and had enough seating for all of us. Also really close to Bridge Street and all of the fun stuff to do around there (shopping, food, coffee). And close to the main road if you want to drive somewhere, otherwise there's a trolley stop right up the street. The place is a bit dated (it's an older house), but we felt that we got the right expected value for what we paid. The parking could be an issue depending on how many vehicles you have. There's one main paved parking space, but the other 'parking spaces' are on the street, which is free parking for anyone else who wants to park there (since it's close to the beach, they were always in use). We only had one car, and two golf carts (which we parked in the yard), so it wasn't that big of an issue for us. Also, the pictures kind of make you think it's an entirely fenced in back yard/space for privacy, which is not the case, it's open towards the street. Overall, we were happy, they were super responsive with anything we needed, and if we come back, we'd definitely stay here again.

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!
