Great house! Close to the beach, free trolley, and many bedroom options.

Our family loved our stay at this Bradenton Beach home. It was a short 2 to 3 minute walk to the pathway to the beach which was great for our teenagers. We spent most of our time outside in the backyard and the space was great for our family. The undercover relaxing area was great when we wanted to get out of the sun or when the Florida afternoon showers rolled in. The hot tub reached a perfect hot temperature and we loved being able to switch to the pool when we wanted a change in temp. The layout was great for our family and the rooms where very large. We do wish there was a bathroom on the first floor for easy access from the pool but we could use the exercise going to the second floor after all we ate lol. All in all, a great stay and would book again.

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful and detailed review! We're so glad to hear that your family loved the home and made the most of its fantastic location and backyard setup. It sounds like the combination of the pool, hot tub, and relaxing undercover area added so much to your stay. We understand the wish for a first-floor bathroom, but it sounds like you turned it into a positive with the extra steps! We’d be thrilled to welcome you back for another stay—thanks again for your kind words!

Well appointed, especially kitchen. 3 generations for beach week.

This place was great for the entire family! Plenty of space to spread out in! The pool area with the outside games was a hit with everybody! We were easy walking distance to the beach and many restaurants, shopping and the trolley stops!

We had a great week in Bradenton. Lots of sun and fun . The house was spacious with great amenities. We had a few minor issues but most were addressed in a timely manner. May need a few furniture and mattress updates soon , but overall it was a great place to stay and convenient location. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Our group of 14 loved our stay at Coconut Grove. a beautiful home with ample space indoor and outdoors - for friends, family and children of all ages. The outdoor entertainment is great - pool, mini putt, foosball, ping pong, BBQ, etc. 1 block to the beach, with private access. The service was great, property management was a txt message or phone call away. Highly recommend

We would absolutely book here again! The backyard is the star of the show and where we spent most of our time. We had trouble with the key code when we arrived at midnight and the property manager resolved it within minutes. The beach chairs and wagon being provided was super helpful as well. This house won’t disappoint!

Beautiful house. Very large. Pool/hot tub were great. Bottom of the pool was difficult to clean debris (leaves,etc )out, but not a big deal.
Everything was as expected. Clean with plenty of bath/pool towels provided. Extras trash and recycling bags needed ( only one extra given ). Would definitely stay there again! Thanks!!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this location. Everything was just as described and our experience with the AMI locals team was great!

Orlando R. - Posted: 2/12/2022

This is a great house for a large gathering - plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and living space for everyone - could host a family or couples/friends. The kitchen/living room is good; the obvious highlight is the outdoor and rooftop area which is where we spent 90% of our time when we were there & not sleeping. Entire place was very clean & well kept.

Joseph - Posted: 11/13/2021

We are very happy with the service very professional and punctual. Our rental was amazing , we really enjoyed our stay.

Laura - Posted: 10/10/2021

Beautiful home, great location. Will definitely return for our next vacation!

Jason - Posted: 9/29/2021

It was great to have so much space with our family. The 6 bedrooms and 3 floors were enough for our huge family. Located near the beach and near a Publix, we were able to quickly run and get what we needed as the week went on. The private pool was awesome with a tv that played our Amazon music while we swam. The internet was in and out but who cares??? There’s a lot of books and games to play with. The concierge was very flexible with us and our family, ensuring it would be a relaxing and stress free vacation!!!

Cindy C. - Posted: 9/25/2021

The house was beautiful! And I noticed other properties nearby owned by AMI as well. The location was perfect, the pool was the perfect temperature, everything was well stocked for a weeks-stay, and it was spotless! Not a single complaint.

Perfect for a large family or two families. Views on third floor and roof top are beautiful. Back yard was very nice, plenty to do and just a short walk to the beach. Sunrise is wonderful on roof top. I would love to rent again but stay longer.

Don't worry about getting a car or anything unless you plan to leave far off the island. Everything was in walking distance and if not, the Trolleys and bus will get you there quick and they are free!

We had a great stay! The location was great and the house was very clean. It was great for our group of 8. Plenty of space to be comfortable! The pool and hot tub were very clean.

Great location for a family vacation. The beach is across the street, and very beautiful. The house is spacious and all the bedrooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. The outdoor seating area is huge, also has a pool/spa, bar and TV! Only complaints were the floors in the house not very clean. Our grand kids knees were dirty from crawling around on the floor along with all the adults feet. The house needs a second refrigerator for large groups. We had to use 2 coolers (one which was supplied with the house) along with the frig to keep all our cold stuff. We would definitely stay again, had a great time! Plenty of beach supplies and toys for all. There was 14 in our group.

Dawn P. - Posted: 7/14/2019

Since this was our first visit to the Bradenton Beach area, we were cautiously optimistic about the house and location. We were not disappointed!! Not only is this house well equipped, the location was ideal for our family that ranges in age from 10 to 73. The only reason I didn’t rated the cleanliness 5 was due to dog hair on the comforters and bed shams BUT that is just a personal preference and not necessarily an issue for others. I would highly recommend this house to those looking for a family friendly place for their vacation.

Bridgette E. - Posted: 7/13/2019

Wonderful house, beautiful beach, delightful vacation!

Helen V. - Posted: 4/13/2019

Great house for large extended family vacation. Close to beach and restaurants! We all loved it and would come again !!

Chris H. - Posted: 4/6/2019

Great location. Often felt as if we were on an island somewhere. Yet all we wanted in terms of eating in or out was easily satisfied. Beach was close and beautiful.3 teenagers never stopped their praises of the house. 3 others under 5 years old played in the surf and sand and loved it. Adults(8) were never bored and always were upbeat about the variety of things available to them. It was an experience that we will always remember and describe as “truly outstanding “. The house and its facilities made it all come together for us! The friendliness and professionalism of Claire and Emma added to the overall experience. THANKS FROM ALL OF US!

William S., Queensbury - Posted: 1/2/2019

Love how Bradenton Beach is growing slowly but some great places have opened up. One was this new build that we got to stay at for the week for soccer. It had all the amenities you could ask for. The spa does not get that hot and whomever designed the spa needs to know that the seat needs to allow the water go up to the chest not the belly button. Would stay again without question especially with the 20 person shower in both masters.

Gershon A. - Posted: 12/10/2018

James Y. - Posted: 11/22/2018

Very lovely house with large rooms, nice common area and pool. A few minor niggles on upkeep but overall we were quite happy.

Niels B. - Posted: 11/5/2018

This vacation home was great for me and my family. Everyone was comfortable and the house was so close to everything. Very open concept and amazing layout. The house came equipped with everything we needed; pots, mugs, plates, utensils, coffee maker and etc. The outdoor space was amazing and great for entertainment. Pool accessories were available along with beach accessories for adults and kids. Claire did an amazing job on making sure everything went smoothly as far as checking in and out. Definitely one for the books.

Zinthiana M., Valrico - Posted: 9/30/2018

The house is well kept and the location is great. 5 min walk to the beach. 30 seconds to a hipster BBQ place, 10 min or less to other eats. Grocery and Fish Markets all within 5-10 min drive. Staff was communicative. Know that pool guy and lawn guy come on certain mornings without notice. Rooftop terrace is the BEST for sunsets!!! All in all, I would DEFINITELY stay again!!!

William L. - Posted: 7/31/2018

Our family really enjoyed the house. They thought it was the best one we have rented. Comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, generous amount of towels, decent WIFI, relaxing pool area, unique rooftop deck with Adirondack chairs ( nice for sunrise and after sunset). Close to the beach (5 minute walk) and near the free trolley stop (2-3 minute walk). Our group appreciated having 4.5 bathrooms for 14 people. I think spending the extra money to rent a house with nice bedrooms and bathrooms and decor is worth it. You definitely need to bring a cooler or 2 for extra drinks and food because the refrigerator is average size.

Martha L. - Posted: 7/28/2018

Awesome week for 3 families on spring break -- 6 adults; 7 kids. The numerous beds and baths was perfect for our group. The pool was great entertainment for our kids -- hot tub was a bonus for us adults! AND the LOCATION to the beach was the best-- not even a 5 min walk to the white sand. If we didn't make it to the beach for the sunset-- the rooftop was the next best place. We cooked at home for most meals -- but when we did eat out we were within walking distance for a handful of places: Gulf St Cafe, Wicked Cantina and Beachhouse. BEST. SPRING. BREAK. EVER!!!!!

Kendra R. - Posted: 4/24/2018

Great house for family of 13. Kids enjoyed to pool and short walk to ocean. The kitchen was very well supplied to handle cooking for 13 people. Glad we booked this house for our family get together. Ice maker did not work but was fixed right away. Maintenance man came out in the evening to fix it.

David C. - Posted: 1/29/2018

Second time staying here. Great house

Terri T. - Posted: 12/18/2017

The house was well stocked and very homey. The layout was perfect. We had enough room to hangout together if we wanted but plenty of room to get away if you needed a little space. A quick walk to the beach and trolly stop. The rooftop deck was a nightly must for sunset.

Tammy P. - Posted: 12/13/2017

Beautiful home!! Great location. Huge king beds. Beach toys for the kids. We could not have been more pleased with this house!

Samantha V. - Posted: 11/5/2017

We had an AMAZING family vacation!!! Will never forget it. Especially sunrises from the rooftop deck! VERY CLEAN! Plenty of room for extended family and friends. Huge shaded area near pool was a needed getaway from the sun. Super sweet family friendly bar restaurant 0.3 miles south on the beach, sunset should not be missed!! Also, Mote Aquarium, Doughnut Experiment, and local artists shoppes. Again, don stay here, so we can next year.

Chrissy P. - Posted: 7/5/2017

Pictures do not do this home justice. Great views, decorating is fantastic...perfect place for large families!

Sarah K. - Posted: 5/22/2017

Spring break 2017 with three families. This was the perfect spot! The house had plenty of room to sleep, feed and entertain our group of 12. It was very clean, the kitchen was equipped with plenty of dishes, utensils and cooking needs, loved the pool and all the outdoor spaces. Super short walk to the beach and the house had plenty of beach chairs, toys and even a wagon to tote all to the beach in! We all thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bradenton Beach!

Anne B., kalamazoo - Posted: 4/10/2017

We had a 90th Birthday Party for my Dad at this beach house. Excellent layout for our large crowd. I was initially worried we wouldn't have enough space for all of us but this house is more than adequate. The kitchen easily held 25 people, plenty of counter space, large table and an L shaped bar with stools. Nice large sliding door off the kitchen which opens to a balcony overlooking the pool area. Bedrooms are spacious with king size beds and balconies off almost all rooms. Bathrooms are beautiful and plentiful. The rooftop patio is cool and a great place to drink your morning coffee while viewing the island 360 degrees. Pool area is big with a bar, grill, table and plenty of chairs for our large group. The pool and hot tub were great for our grand kids and the adults too when we were just hanging around the house. The beach is just across the street and a beautiful beach at that. I worried that it would be crowded since we were there at Spring break. This part of Bradenton Beach wasn't full of Spring breakers at all. We were so happy with the beach and the crowds were minimal. The location of this house is perfect. Not too far from shops or restaurants. We enjoyed the walks to Bridge St. everyday via the beach or the road, it's an easy walk. I would recommend this house to anyone with a large group or multiple families, it's large enough to get away from one another when a person needs space or private time. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Looking for the perfect rental? Look no further. We rented this property two weeks during our trip to watch the Pittsburgh Pirates spring training in Bradenton, which is only 10 miles away. This spacious, tastefully decorated, six bedroom home is perfect. Loved the location in the less crowded Bradenton Beach area of AMI. Just across the street from the beach, this home is close to the trolley, restaurants and within walking distance of (or a trolley ride away from) the Bridge Street shops and restaurants. The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of dishes, pots and pans, coffee maker, etc. (Bring extra paper towels, toilet paper and laundry detergent). Five of the bedrooms have their own private balconies. The two master bedrooms will blow you away with their own private bathrooms. The walk-in showers in the two master bathrooms are as big as one of my bathrooms back home! Each bedroom has its own television. The tv in the main area carries at least 200 channels (less in the bedrooms). The highlight of this home is the pool/spa area. Used the spa every day. Wish I could have taken it back home with me. Left sooner than the others, so called AMI Transportation to take me to the Tampa airport. Very dependable. Highly recommend them if you need a ride to/from the Tampa airport.

We went coo coo for Coconut Cove and loved this big beautiful house that is decorated with bright beachy colors and has amazing artwork in every room! The photos do not do the size of the house justice--and the back yard is also very large with the "bar area" completely covered for rainy days. The location is great--just across the street from the beach and .7 miles from the Historic Bridge Pier with restaurants and shops galore. Trolley stops are very close, but if it's slow to pick you up, you can call the on-demand "Monkey Bus!" (more fun than Uber). Beds and linens are comfortable/soft and internet is lightning fast (my husband works for Cisco). Pool and hot tub are spotless. Beach toys in the garage such as sand shovels and buckets, floats and pool noodles but we did not use them (no little people were with us). The crow's nest on the top has a view of both the ocean and the bay and was incredible for star gazing. I am an experienced renter of luxury houses. Even though this one was perfect, I would advise you to bring spices for cooking and extra paper towels, toilet paper, paper napkins, garbage bags and ice (the icemaker is slow) to be sure your stay is perfect (it's amazing how much of these items you can go through in three days). Our group discussed coming back to Coconut Cove for the one-year anniversary of the couple whose wedding we had all come to attend. Thank you Claire, for our amazing stay!

Cindy T., Dallas - Posted: 2/22/2017

We celebrted a family reunion with 6 adults and 7 children and found this house to be perfect with its many bedrooms and large social areas. We had a great time enjoying the pool and beach during the day, and cooking at night. The whole house is well equipped, including the kitchen and laundy. It is tastefully decorated, and the beds and bedding of excellent quality. Highly recommended!!

Charlotte P. - Posted: 2/21/2017

We went down with 6 couples to enjoy the fun & sun & we were not disappointed!! We had a terrific experience!! The views are breathtaking from every bedroom, balcony & deck. The location could not be better. The bedrooms / bathrooms were decorated beautifully with no detail left not taken care of. The kitchen was a great gathering place with everything you would ever need to enjoy yourself and entertain. The rooftop balcony was incredible with views of both the ocean and bay - sunsets were unbelievable!!! Our group really enjoyed ourselves immensely and plan to come back again next year. Just an awesome vacation!!

Brian B. - Posted: 12/5/2016

Best house family gathering place, something for everyone from , pool, fuzeball, rooftop sitting! A true gem , you can't lose with this house ! My Italian family loves it !! It was a home run!!

Cheryl W., Woodstock ga - Posted: 11/19/2016

Such a beautiful house!! There was more than enough room for our big family and so accommodating. It's close to a supermarket, publix, which makes everything much easier. The view from the top is breathtaking. It's walking distance to the beach and the pool/hot tub in the backyard was always being used. I hope to come back. Really great house with such sweet owners.

Erika A. - Posted: 11/11/2016

Rented this 6 bedroom home for a cousin reunion. There was 5 couples which was great for this house that had 5 king size beds. Those are hard to find. Everything was new and plentiful, i.e. Dishes, towels, bathrooms.... First time to Anna Marie Island and it was easy to get around. The free trolley stop was just around the corner and it went from one end to the other, you could walk across the street to the beach, nearby restaurants and bars. Pool and hot tub at the house was great also. Would definitely recommend renting this house again. Claire was a charm to work with.

Cynthia C. - Posted: 6/24/2016

We rented this house as our "bride's family home base" for a big wedding nearby. We're so glad we did it! We had families and kids in every bedroom and the house never felt cramped- the rooms are fresh and roomy, and there is ample common space, decking, and chairs so everyone can spread out. We were especially surprised by the HUGE and private backyard and courtyard area with the pool, hot tub, bar and foosball! The pictures don't capture the space. Plus it was super close to the beach and walkable to bars and restaurants nearby. The house itself felt like it was built yesterday and was tastefully and luxuriously furnished throughout. Finally, the owner was professional, responsive and pleasant to deal with throughout. I couldn't recommend the house more for a special occasion or a big family event!!

Kate E., Saint Petersburg Florida, USA - Posted: 5/3/2016

We had 14 people spanning 3 generations stay here for a family reunion over Spring Break. Having never been to Anna Maria island before, I was incredibly pleased with our choice of this rental home. First, with 6 Bdrms (5 being Masters with King beds in them), 5 bathrooms, a large kitchen/open living room area, 3 stories, several decks and balconies on all sides (and top) of the home, and a swimming pool AND hot tub---it met the criteria our large group needed. We really enjoyed that the home is brand new--only a few months old and it had clearly been professionally decorated with all brand new items/linens/furniture vs. someone's extra old stuff that often ends up in rentals. As someone who typically stays in 4-5 star hotels on vacation, I was a bit nervous about a rental home, so that was one of the greatest things about the experience to me---our group felt we had luxury accommodations vs. some shabby beach rental. There were many thoughtful touches, including a high chair, a well stocked kitchen (not just 6-8 plates and cups---there were tons of dishes/glassware!), plenty of extra linens and towels (and a washer/dryer), and a large supply of pool towels as well. The 3 story layout was nice as well (with bedrooms split between 2 of the floors) as you could divide up the families a bit so people had a private space to go to.....It was also very well located -- walking distance to a beautiful/uncrowded white sand beach and to many shops/restaurants etc. We rented cars which I would recommend to explore all of Anna Maria Island and to get to Bradenton and the airport easily so it was nice there was plenty of parking -- 2 car garage plus driveway space. Another stand out was that the pool (and hot tub) were sufficiently heated---this was key, especially in March. Overall, a fantastic stay and perfect for our group -- I would rent this again and not even bother looking elsewhere should we return to Anna Maria Island!

Cynthia K., Austin - Posted: 4/15/2016

I was honestly nervous at first because we thought the place was too good to be true. We had some trouble with another rental and Emma & Claire helped us tremendously (more than expected). It was exactly as pictured and absolute paradise for a week! We watched the sunset from the rooftop balcony almost every night- spectacular! Beach is just across the street with minimal traffic and someone is always willing to let you cross quickly. Super easy and quick to get to the beach with the wagon carrying our stuff. We walked down to 1st street for shops/dinner/putt putt. We enjoyed a mexican restaurant within walking distance. Weather was windy for half of our trip so we did go to the Tampa aquarium one day but it was nice to be able to walk to beach quickly and get back when the weather was chilly. The pool & hot tub were fantastic. Heating was perfect. It was amazing to be able to watch tv outside while enjoying the pool/hot tub!!! Seriously this place is amazing! This was our 1st time to Anna Maria Island and we loved the area. The beach was soft and sandy. This place will not disappoint. We only wish we had more friends/family to enjoy it with us! We needed a high chair and they were quick to get it to us. Excellent overall! Thanks again to Emma & Claire!

We were the first renters for this property, and Claire and her team made our Thanksgiving stay super special! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating; they made sure we were well taken care of! They brought in a roaster so that we could bake our Thanksgiving Turkey; installed a big flat screen TV on the pool deck just before we arrived because they knew we were a bunch of football fanatics! The covered pool deck was our “go to” place when we weren’t on the beach or at one of the local restaurants. And that pool deck: lots of seating, the great TV, Foosball, grill, dry bar, pool and hot tub with room to spare (we set up our corn-hole boards all under cover it’s so large) – we made a lot of great family memories on this deck! The whole property is truly top shelf. The views from the upper deck are even better than the picture on the website; you can watch the sunset over the gulf and the sunrise on the other side over the bay. It was a great place to hang out with a glass or wine, or grab an early morning and late evening workout. The bedrooms are large, the showers larger (you won’t believe the size the master suites!). The kitchen has everything you need with plenty of seating for our group of 14 between the dining table and stools around the huge center island. There’s also a neat boardwalk at the end of the street that winds its way through wetlands and ends at the bay with a covered swing; another great place to catch a sunrise! All this and the beach is just across the street! The beach is huge and was never crowded; there was always a front row spot any time of the day! Plenty of room for our family football game, beach soccer and errant Frisbee throws! We absolutely loved our stay here! Thank you Claire, Emma, Shawn and team!
