Getaway Retreat A · Firepit · 1 Block to Bay

2BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · Pet-Friendly ($150 Fee) · 1 Block to Bay · Kayak Launch · Firepit & Gas Grill · Private Sundeck · Two-Car Garage · Beach Buggy & Gear · In-Unit Washer/Dryer · Tropical Yard

One block from the bay — and the bay here means a kayak launch, playground, and basketball court within easy reach of the front door. A Getaway Retreat A is a Holmes Beach vacation rental with a two-level layout, a private sundeck for morning coffee, and a downstairs outdoor area with a gas grill and firepit for the evenings.

The two-car garage is underneath the building — covered parking for both vehicles, which is a genuine rarity in Bradenton Beach. The downstairs sitting area has the grill and firepit alongside it, making the outdoor space functional at multiple levels throughout the day.

Two bedrooms sleep six. The master has a king bed. The second bedroom has two twin beds. The living room queen sleeper sofa handles the remaining guests. Two full bathrooms. An in-unit washer and dryer handles the week's beach clothes. The kitchen has new appliances throughout. High-speed WiFi included.

The storage area has a beach buggy with chairs and full beach gear — grab everything and head to the beach. The tropical yard has comfortable seating for the afternoons when the pool is calling less loudly than the shade.

The beach is a walk from the property — the bay is one block, the Gulf beach is further. Worth knowing if beach swimming is the priority. The free AMI trolley stops nearby for getting around without a car.

Pet-friendly with a $150 non-refundable fee. Parking for two vehicles in the garage.

*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 vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a sofa bed, and a private yard.

We loved our visit to Bradenton Beach!!! The lil beach town is so quaint!! The lil park a block away was so nice! The white sands and beautiful water! The beach cart was handy and the toys a hit!! Lil issues were: needed a separate app to communicate with property management. Suggestions: leave directions for washer/ dryer combo and tv remotes.

We had lunch in the park as the manatees swam by,after we spent the morning at the beach. It was a great place to stay. Maybe some beach chairs and umbrella would have helped enhance the experience.

Management was impossible to get ahold of without calling the emergency line. Information in the property information in the app was incorrect about checking in (key pickup process was explained when we had a keypad) and the directions are linked to the incorrect location (a few blocks north of the actual house.

Great location. Near the Beach.

Everything was great! Just a few items I would add to the property. A vacuum. I swiffer wet jet. More tp and paper towels. I had a hard time keeping up with sand, with just a broom. I full size iron. And an umbrella for front porch. Lastly i believe the write up said there where beach chairs, and a wagon. We could not find any. The people on the front had some. Luckily we have friends close by bowered chairs and wagon from them. Thank you for the stay. We had a very good time.

The rental was cute and beachy and relaxing. I rented it for my daughter and grandaughter.

The neighbor in back if the house was off-putting. He was inebriated on more than one occasion and trying to interact. When they first arrived he started to follow them up the stairs until my daughter asked him what he was doing. Also the washer dryer did not work. We had to call for wifi access but the island rental office gave us the wifi the next day. My daughter and grandaughter just went thru the hurricane and had no electricity at home so it was a nice relief to have that. And the apt is really cute and cozy.

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: We have stayed on Anna Maria Island for 12 years and have always used IVP, so when we had to stay only 4 days instead of a full week I reached out to them for advice. One property recommended to us was this one, and we absolutely loved it! Nice quiet street 5 minute walk from the beach, couple minute drive to any restaurant or grocery. The unit itself was in a beautiful quiet neighborhood, very near the bay and a beautiful park as well. Everything was beautiful in the unit, very updated and clean, private deck was awesome! A large variety of beach chairs and cart and toys as well on site. Couldnt have asked for a better vacation rental. Once again IVP came thru and of course there was excellent communication all through the planning process and the trip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I booked this place last minute with no issues. The app makes it super easy and convenient. This rental is an older home with not all of the bells and whistles of something new. With that said, it was clean, quiet and a great location. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had all of the basics. My husband and I either walked or took the trolley up and down the island. The grocery store is a 15-20 minute walk and the bleach is just 2 beach blocks. The most AMAZING sunsets! The only negative was the beach chairs were the worst. For those of us who love the beach, Upgrading the beach chairs for guests would be my only suggestion.

Nice Family Gathering

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While we enjoyed our stay with our family, we felt the unit wasn’t very clean. Overall, adequate, but things like the grime running down from the stove vent on the wall behind the stove, dirty baseboards, door frames and areas around door knobs. These things are true signs of how well cleaning is being done. We greatly appreciated the number of bathroom towels and wash cloths. Also the number of beach towels for our use and the beach chairs made available. The door to the balcony was difficult to open, and we couldn’t open it completely. It is evident that work is being done to make improvements on the property.
