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.

*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 patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a coffee maker, and a phone.

Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: This place meets what we were looking for with a large family reunion. This size of the open kitchen and living room helped us celebrate a birthday. The outside corn hole game was a plus. The location was easy to get to the beach during the day and then to Bridge street at night. Suggestions would be a cutting board, kitchen washcloth, makeup mirror, and another outside chair. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

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.
