Driftwood Cottage, Bradenton, FL

Our Brand New vacation home is a beautiful sanctuary for families looking for a relaxing getaway to Bradenton & Anna Maria. Merely 6 miles from Anna Maria and with 1924+ square footage, there is plenty of space to spread out, and is perfect for 2-3 families. After spending the day on the beach, return to a backyard paradise: relax in the pool, gather, and dine together.

Our home is close to everything- beach, golf, and world-renowned IMG sports academy- all within a 10-15 minute drive from the house. Holmes Beach and Manatee Public Beach are both 5 miles from the property. We are within walking distance of Palma Sola Bay fishing pier and 2 neighborhood parks. Guests can easily walk to Portosueno Park and Palma Sola Point to see manatees hanging out in the waters and watch sunrise and sunset. Robinson Preserve and Desoto National Memorial are both only 3 miles away, great for afternoon kayaking and biking.

Our ideal guests are families with children. If only adults are staying, we accept a max of 8 adults and all guests must be over age 25 years old.
