Sunshine Retreat with heated Saltwater pool. Minutes to gulf beaches and IMG

A beautiful 4 bedroom 2 bath home situated in an extremely quiet neighborhood in NW Bradenton. No parties/events. All music and conversations must be kept very low. This ideal location is minutes away from IMG and the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island. The world famous Siesta key beach is just a short, beautiful gulf drive away. Less than one mile from grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. Close to Pirate city and spring training baseball at Lecom park (formerly McKechnie field) which is only five miles away. If you enjoy hiking and observing nature then this is the place for you. Just 2 miles from Robinson Preserve where you can hike miles of trails or Kayak through the mangroves.

This newly furnished house comes complete with WIFI and cable TV. There is a 65" 4K TV in the family room and a 4K TV in each bedroom. There is a King bed in the master bedroom, queen beds in two of the bedrooms and two twin beds in the fourth bedroom. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need: Pots and pans, utensils, new stainless steel appliances, coffee maker, Keurig coffee maker and more. Enjoy the warm Florida sunshine by the pool in the full privacy fenced in back yard. The saltwater pool is newly installed and heated. All beach gear (towels, beach umbrella, coolers, beach chairs) is also included for hours of fun on Florida's beautiful tropical beaches!

Perfect House for a Lax Tournament

We came for a lacrosse tournament in Bradenton and this was perfect! We had instacart delivered when we arrived and cooked the first night. Close to Anna Maria Island for dinners out. It had chairs for the tournament and for the beach! Quiet neighborhood so our girls were able to go to sleep early. We had a great stay!

The home was clean and comfortable with all the essentials, plus more, provided. There were beach chairs and a beach cart that we could use for going to the ocean. The beds were comfortable and we were able to sleep well in the quiet neighborhood. We loved the pool, which was fenced in and private. We felt like we were in our own little paradise!
