Gulf-Front Condo with Sunset Views

Front Row to the Gulf
Shell Cove 9 delivers what beachfront really means—step out your door and you're on the sand. This upper-level, two-bedroom condo sits directly on Bradenton Beach with unobstructed Gulf views from your private balcony. No roads to cross, no boardwalks to navigate, no lobbies or elevators to wait for. Just you, the beach, and miles of sugar-white sand stretching in both directions.

The View Makes the Difference
The balcony becomes your favorite room. Large enough for comfortable outdoor furniture and dining, it's where you'll watch dolphins at sunrise and sunsets every evening. The second-floor position gives you privacy and better views without the foot traffic that comes with ground-level units. Guests consistently mention the sunsets—there's a reason people return to this specific condo year after year.

Everything Ready for Beach Life
The kitchen includes appliances with stovetop and microwave for meal prep, granite countertops, A small dishwasher and everything you need for cooking at home. The living area features comfortable seating, a 50-inch smart TV, sleeper sofa for extra guests, and opens to that Gulf-view balcony. In-unit washer and dryer means you pack light and keep up with beach towels and swimsuits without leaving the condo. Both bedrooms offer ceiling fans and flat-screen TVs. The master bedroom has a queen bed, while the second bedroom features two twin beds—ideal for kids, friends, or flexible sleeping arrangements. One full bathroom with tub/shower combination serves the unit.

Beach Gear On Hand
Beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and a cooler are stored in the unit. Walk to the beach in seconds with everything you need already provided—no rentals, no purchases, no hauling gear from home.

Location Advantages
You're in Bradenton Beach on Gulf Drive with restaurants, shops, and the free island trolley within walking distance. Publix grocery is a short drive for stocking the kitchen. The Kokonut Hut (Gulf Drive Cafe) serves breakfast on the beach, The Beach House works for appetizers and cocktails, and Wicked Cantina handles Mexican cravings when you need a break from seafood. Tide Tables serves fresh-caught grouper when you want the full Gulf Coast experience.

What to Know Before You Book
This is an upper-level unit accessed by stairs—there's no elevator. The kitchen has stovetop cooking but no full oven (microwave and all other appliances included). One vehicle parking space is provided. The property requires a one-week minimum stay and accommodates up to six guests.

Whether you're escaping winter, planning a family beach week, or looking for a quiet spot to work remotely with Gulf views, Shell Cove 9 delivers straightforward beachfront living without the high-rise experience.

Wake up to waves, go to sleep to sunsets. Book your week at Shell Cove 9 and claim your spot on Bradenton Beach.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

This was my second time staying at Shell Cove but my first time in condo #9. It was clean and exactly what we needed for the two of us. The views were amazing and we loved leaving our sandals by the door and walking straight down to the beach. There were 4 beach chairs, an umbrella, and beach towels at the condo! The traffic from the road was loud in the early morning. A sound machine to help cut down on the road noise would have been helpful. We did have to buy more toilet paper and there was an issue with the dishwasher but it was quickly fixed. The host was excellent and provided plenty of information ahead of time! We would stay again!

Great beach vacay

We really enjoyed staying at ShellCove! It was just steps from the beautiful beach. Check in was easy and the location is convenient. It is small but cute and comfortable, and it fit our family of four perfectly. We did have a problem with the bathroom sink draining but that was fixed promptly. The dishwasher needs to be reattached, it kept falling out on me, but overall our stay was wonderful! The sunsets are epic, we enjoyed them every night :)

Perfect Size and Location for Small Family

You don't need 1,000s of sq feet of space when the beach is literally just out the front door. We've stayed at Shell Cove before and its out "go-to". Perfect amount of space for a small family and the sunsets are gorgeous!

Great location

Excellent communication with manager. Easy check in and check out process. If you have low back issues, the beds are not comfortable and made for a week worth of poor sleep. We bought our own laundry detergent, and hand soap for the bathroom/kitchen as neither were provided. I’m hoping they’re kept in the rental for future guests to use. AMI is a perfect escape!

Great Condo with Excellent View

We have stayed at Shell Cove before and it didn’t disappoint either time. It is right on the beach with a very short sand trail leading back and forth. The condos are not fancy, but cute and quaint. They have just about everything you need. Ours included beach chairs and an umbrella. We will definitely stay here again!

Perfect vacation

5++. Condo is exactly as pictured, no surprises. Directly on a fantastic beach with balcony view of the beach. Beautiful sunsets. Condo was clean and well stocked. Many restaurants and a Publix within 2 miles. Trolley comes past if you don't want to drive. We found we had a broken umbrella and only one beach chair. Contacted management and within an hour 4 new chairs and an umbrella were delivered to our door. This was an absolutely perfect trip, wish we could have stayed longer.
