Ave A Retreat · Pet-Friendly · 2 Blocks to Gulf

Two blocks from the Gulf, pet-friendly, and tucked behind a private fenced yard — Avenue A Retreat is the kind of Bradenton Beach vacation rental that feels like it belongs to you for the week.

The layout is simple and comfortable. Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, sleep four easily — and the sofa sleeper in the living room means you can bring a group of six without anyone drawing the short straw. Both bathrooms are full. A flat-screen TV in every room means everyone has their own space when the beach day winds down.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook in — full-size appliances, cookware, and all the basics. The full-size washer and dryer mean you can pack lighter and stay fresher. No coin laundry, no waiting — it's right there when you need it.

Outside is where Avenue A Retreat earns its name. The screened porch is set up with a table and chairs — a shaded spot for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or a meal without the bugs. Step out from there into the fully fenced backyard with a grill to give you everything you need for a proper cookout. The yard is private, quiet, and completely fenced — which means your dog has room to run while you stay exactly where you are.

The beach is a two-block walk. The free Anna Maria Island trolley stops nearby, putting Bridge Street's restaurants, shops, and the historic pier within easy reach without ever needing your car. Whether you spend your days in the Gulf, exploring the island by trolley, or grilling in the backyard with your dog, Avenue A Retreat puts you in the right place to do all of it.

The location was great for walking to the beach or a few close restaurants. The house was cute and sufficiently stocked. My small dogs could fit through the backyard fence, though.

The house itself is lovely. A very good layout for two couples. The yard needed a bit of work. did not have good curb appeal as we arrived. Dead plants in the front in planters that could easily be removed and sprucing up. Backyard needed trimming and sprucing to truly enjoy the space. The location was perfect for restaurants and beach. All in all I would return.

VERY clean and close to several good restaurants and shopping. Our pups loved the fenced in back yard. The house is about 1 block from the bay to the east, and about 4 blocks from the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Great sunsets!

Get the perfect little Beach Retreat

High quality mattresses and bedding allowed for amazing sleep. Very quiet Dead End Street and only 500 ft short walk to the an amazing powder white sand beach. A really good value. Would also be great for two couples. Only one half mile from drugstore and Grocery on one side and nice little concentration of little bars and restaurants on the other, easy walking or biking distance. I will give it the best compliment: I would go back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was as described. On a dead end road that normally would be quite but they happened to be doing construction next door. We had issues with the a/c and internet but the rental company was very helpful. The ending up offering us a beachfront condo which was great. Would consider staying in the future.

Lovely house, close to the water.

Two hurricanes had hit here pretty recently and many homes are in the process of being rebuilt. This home, however was spotless! A bit of yard damage, but that will come back soon enough. It's an easy walk to the beach. Several very good restaurants are open and nearby. Many of the cute little shops are open. The 2 bdrm 2 bthrm home has plenty of room, screened in porch, fenced yard, nice kitchen. Our only difficulty was communicating with landlord and/or property manager ahead of our booking, but they were probably dealing with hurricane issues and in the end everything was great. Would definately rent here again.
