Runaway Bay 250 · Beach Across Street · Pool
2BR · 2BA · Sleeps 5 · Gulf Across Street · Lighted Crosswalk · Large Pool · Pickleball Courts · Fishing Dock · Workout Room · Beach Wagon & Chairs Provided · Free Trolley at Entrance · Bridge Street Nearby · In-Unit Washer/Dryer
The Gulf is directly across the street from Runaway Bay 250 — and the lighted crosswalk makes the trip safe for families with young kids at any hour. This is a northern Bradenton Beach vacation rental where the beach is genuinely close, the complex amenities are the strongest in the portfolio, and guests have been coming back year after year — some for over a decade.
The complex delivers more than most: a large pool, pickleball courts, a fishing dock, BBQ grilling stations, and a workout room. The free island trolley stops right at the entrance — guests consistently report not needing their car for the entire stay. Bridge Street's restaurants and shops are nearby for evenings off the property.
The condo comes ready for the beach. A beach wagon, chairs, and towels are provided. Floats, noodles, toys, and additional gear are available. Games and cards for rainy days are inside. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed for a week of proper cooking — one guest made Christmas dinner here and noted it had nearly every item they needed. The private balcony is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping with muted waterway views — the right spot for morning coffee.
Two bedrooms sleep five. The primary suite has a king bed. The second bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bed. Two full bathrooms, both with walk-in showers. A full-size washer and dryer in the unit. High-speed WiFi throughout.
Runaway Bay 250 requires a one-week minimum stay with parking for two vehicles. Not pet-friendly.
*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

Clean, updated comfortable furniture. A well stocked kitchen with everything you need. We prefer coffee pot over Kuerig, so agency got us one.

Absolutely wonderful condo & location to stay while in Anna Maria Island. The condo was beautiful. It was super clean, very cute decor and had everything we needed. We felt at home day one while staying here. The response from the host was amazing. Quick to respond with questions we had plus gave us ideas for places to see. We've rented other condos, and the furniture & experience here was the best!! I highly recommend this condo for your next stay in Anna Maria Island!!

250 Runaway Bay met our needs. Great location across the street from the beach. Well stocked beach supplies. Kitchen supplies (cups, plates, bowls, utensils, etc) were well stocked. Decent pool. Comfortable furniture. Supplies (paper products, etc) provided were lacking compared to other rentals I have had. Unit had a musty smell to it.

Excellent location with an easy walk to the beach, pool, tennis/pickleball court, and workout room. The unit was nice, clean, and had all the amenities desired. The wifi and beach equipment were top shelf. The only downside was the weight machine in the workout room needs to be repaired.
We have stayed many times on the island but this was by far our favorite! The location was perfect for us and the condo was above expectations!
We had a couple of questions before we arrived and the owners were quick to respond and super helpful.
When we arrived, we found a condo full of everything we needed. There was plenty of beach chairs, fishing buckets, beach toys, balls & a wagon to pull it all. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook all week. Also worth noting everything was good quality, not flimsy as found in other rentals. The coffee machine is a keurig for planning purposes. The sitting area and bedrooms were spacious. The outdoor area was peaceful. We would have liked to use it more but it was so hot! The beach was about a 5 minute walk with public access right across the street from the complex. We used the pool & pickle ball court too. The fishing dock was neat to watch the birds & other wildlife at all hours of the day.
I would highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to visit the island! We hope to return back next year!

Good time
The location was superb and it was nicely updated. A little disappointed with the lanai - very small and a bit smelly due to the mangroves. Other than that, it hit all of the desires for a rental.

We loved our stay at Runaway Bay #250. Very clean and comfortable! There were nice beach chairs, floats and noodles provided by the owners, plus a beach buggy to get it all to the ocean! We would definitely stay in this condo again! Very relaxed and enjoyable. The trolley made for easy access to Bridge street restaurants. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!!!

We stayed in runaway the 3 weeks before, and had to find another condo in the same complex, luckily we found 250. We felt at home straight away it had the feel of living in the jungle with the view on the patio backing onto the river, with palm trees beautiful plants and trees for privacy. We enjoyed several of the events they has planned within the complex.The pancake breakfast was yummy. We also loved how close it was to town, the beach the bus stop. The pool area was great 👍. Last but not least you can’t forget to mention the gorgeous sunsets 🌅.

WOW we had such a great experience. To the owners -Our condo was beautiful!! It was so clean and centrally located. Also, the decor made us feel like we were at the beach! The balcony was private and beautiful with the palm trees and the water below. Island Vacation Properties were the best! They went above and beyond to accommodate us. Anytime I called with a question the staff was so kind and helpful! We will definitely be back! :)
