About this property

AMI is back! Many island stores & restaurants have reopened, with more to come!

Modern amenities blended with a touch of old Spanish charm! Clean, spacious, cool and comfortable 4-bedroom home, big enough for the whole family to stretch out (1,650 square feet, plus over 1,600 square feet of screened in outdoor living space as well).

Enjoy dinner out in the screened courtyard, or sit back with a cold drink by the pool or spa after a long day in the beautiful Florida sunshine! The screened in saltwater pool and spa area offer over 1,600 square feet to stretch out and is a nice reprieve from the flying Florida critters that like to harass in the evenings. And with a heated saltwater pool and spa, an evening swim or a relaxing spa session may be in order!

Literally steps away from Palma Sola Bay where you can see Manatee swimming in the marina or grab a rod and reel and sit by the water's edge and relax. Or maybe you'd like to take a cruise around Palma Sola Bay on one of our Beach Cruiser bikes?

If you love to cook, you'll be happy to know that the kitchen is fully stocked with hardly a utensil or need overlooked. Pull out the blender for a homemade PiƱa Colada or cook a nice meal - you'll have everything you need.

When the day is done and you're feeling content, slide into soft sheets, fluffy pillows, and a big comfortable king sized bed with your favorite book! Or catch-up on your favorite shows with complementary Directv or access your Netflix/Hulu/Amazon account from our smart TV (Master Bedroom).

Tuck the kids and their tired little eyes into one of our three guest rooms. Guest rooms one and two are equipped with two twin beds each (XL twin beds in guest room 2), and guest room three has one queen sized bed and a smart TV for Netflix/Hulu/Amazon access.

Palma Sola Retreat is in a wonderful location. Steps from Palma Sola Bay, and a short seven minute drive across the bay to the beautiful white sand Gulf beaches of Anna Maria Island.

On the Bay, be sure to check out the paddle boards and kayak rentals which are on location, rent jet skis or look into beach horse riding!

Nearby Robinson's Preserve is a great place for a hike or bike ride with the family, or maybe a morning run?

Have time for 18? Hit one of the area's many beautiful golf courses!

Winter Break with Family

Great family stay at this property (4 adults/2 kids). Very clean, spacious, good layout and generously equipped with all the kitchen, pool and beach toys you need. Decor and furnishing all in great condition. Covered/heated pool and spa were much enjoyed even in 70 degree temp. We are pretty familiar with the area and Palma Sola was a good location compromise to be 15 min from the Anna Maria beaches and 30 from Sarasota museums, aquarium etc. Hosts were very responsive. Cute fishing/manatee viewing 2 blocks away. Would definitely consider staying again with the family!

Good vacation property

Great venue, close to Bay, shops and vacation amenities. Pool great but a little chilly in December. Quiet, friendly neighbourhood. House offered all facilities required for a relaxing vacation. Would certainly go back.

Perfect stay

Everything about this place is awesome. The house is spacious and it comes with a screened pool, 3 bikes, beach toys and plenty of fresh towels and amenities. There are plenty of trails for biking and or jogging. Our favorite is Robinson Preserve that can be reached either by foot (almost 2 miles) or by car to the watch tower. James and Regan made sure our check in was smooth and were responsive with our needs during the stay. We will consider staying here again next year!

Great family vacation

We had a wonderful time. The property was just as listed. Very convenient to beaches and shopping areas. Clean and well stocked. The owners were very responsive to questions. We were even blessed to be able to check in early which helped us out a lot. The pool area was great and was our main source of entertainment. My teenage sons also enjoyed riding their scooters in the neighborhood. There is also a marinara within walking distance. We were able to fish and watch the manatees come in. We would definitely recommend this place! We canā€™t wait until next time. šŸŒ“

Excellent Getaway

This home is beautiful, clean, spacious and we even were able to check in early which really helped. The pool and spa are so nice!! We loved spending time in the screened in pool area the most. Even on days it rained, we were able to be outside since half is covered from the rain. The owners are always available, caring and provided so much at this home for us. We enjoyed our stay so much and it was just what we needed. Only 5 mins to Anna Maria Island too. Lots of options to eat in Bradenton too. Great location! Oh and right down the street you can watch manatees daily and the most beautiful sunsets! So grateful we found this home and gave it a chance! Does not disappoint.

We couldn't have been happier with our stay! Not only was the home clean and spacious, the neighbors were welcoming, the neighborhood felt very safe, and the location was super convenient. Everything we needed was within 15 minutes. As if that wasn't enough, the hosts were extremely quick to respond to my messages and so very kind. Without hesitation I'd recommend this home and hope we have another chance to stay in the future!

Spring Break 2024

If you are a family with littles looking for an ideal VRBO, this is it. In addition to being beautifully decorated, the hosts provide a wealth of extras that just add to the stay: a book nook/bed in a closet with many Disney books, pool toys, sand toys for the beach just minutes away, Disney DVDs, and toys in the house. There is everything you need to take the littles to the beach: sand chairs, cooler, sun tent, and umbrella. No need to bring the Pack-n-Play, they have one! Just can't sy enough about how all these things help families traveling with littles!

Great location and communication

Great location 10 minutes from the beach. Safe quiet neighborhood for running and kids biking in the street. Thanks to the outdoor screening, patio and house were clean and completely bug free. Hot tub and heated pool were a win and main reason we booked. House was spacious and had all the things you need from condiments to trash bags to pool toys, towels and life jackets. Beds were comfy and the closet converted to an extra bunk was perfect for our 2 yr old! Due to cold temps, manatees werenā€™t in the bay but according to locals, they normally are which is a short walk from the house. Communication with James was great and he even gave some local recommendations for us. We are coming back next year and would very likely stay again if we come to the same town.

Don't pass this one up!!! Awesome Property!

Me and my family rented this property for the week of Thanksgiving 2023 and had a fantastic time. We loved the Spanish forward vibe of the house / courtyard and the pool / hot tub were outstanding. It says saltwater pool and hot tub but you do not taste salt at all or feel that on your skin. I was a bit worried about that when booking but it was not an issue at all. The location of this property is located in the middle of everything with shopping / groceries / dining all within a stones throw of the house. The area / subdivision is very well kept and safe to walk or ride bikes around the area. Everything in the house was labeled very well and the kitchen was stocked with most of the things you will need to make any kind of meal. We had a multi course Thanksgiving meal for 8 to give you an idea of what we had to work with so there is no shortage of kitchen items. Anna Maria island is only a few minutes away which has some very nice beaches and great island viby stores and restaurants. Lastly, the communication between the host and us was great. They answer their phone every time we had a question (even on Thanksgiving) and called back to make sure we got what we needed. Me and my family highly recommend this property to anyone thinking of booking in the Bradenton area. I am sure we will book again the next time we are staying in this area.
