About this house rental
3BR · 2BA · Sleeps 8 · Gulf Front · Private Veranda · 8 Restaurants in 5-Min Walk · City Pier · Cortez Village Views · Heated Pool · 10-Ft Ceilings · Granite Kitchen · In-Unit Washer/Dryer · Undercover Parking
Eight restaurants within a five-minute walk. The city pier two blocks down where sailboats pass in front of Cortez fishing village — the spot where artists and photographers set up for a reason. Bridge Street's shops, cafés, and Key West-style boutiques all within easy strolling distance. Sandcastle 3 is a Gulf-front Bradenton Beach vacation rental where most guests report not needing their car for the entire stay.
The private veranda overlooks the beach directly — the right spot for morning coffee and evening sunsets over the Gulf. Ten-foot ceilings open the interior up considerably for a three-bedroom unit. The kitchen has granite countertops, maple cabinets, and stainless steel appliances — fully equipped for a week of meals at home.
Three bedrooms sleep eight. The master suite has a king bed. Both guest bedrooms have queen beds. The living room sofa bed handles the remaining guests. Two full bathrooms. An in-unit washer and dryer. Heated pool on-site. Undercover parking for two cars.
The free Anna Maria Island trolley stops nearby for exploring the full length of the island. For guests who want to fish or simply watch the water, the city pier is two blocks away — one of the better vantage points on the southern end of the island for watching the boat traffic between the Gulf and Tampa Bay.
Sandcastle 3 requires a one-week minimum stay with undercover parking for two vehicles. Not pet-friendly.
*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 views from this union are Beautiful. We enjoyed eating our meals on the balcony that has a screen that keeps all the bugs aways. Beautiful sunsets in the evenings. Closest we have been to the beach. Unit is updated & more beautiful than the pictures show. Beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Reviewer Comments:
The beach view from condo was beautiful and decor in condo was tasteful. We liked how easy it was to get to the beach. The week we were there was chilly- we were told the heater/pump in the pool was not working so we didn’t use the pool. We weren’t crazy about being across the street from the shops- the music and traffic noise in the back bedrooms was tolerable but annoying- parking garage was not well lit at night. We didn’t feel the condo was worth what we paid- we have stayed in much nicer condominiums for lesser amounts. There was room for improvement in cleaning- back of spare bathroom door had finger smudging (not sure what is was but not pleasant to look at) and kitchen and spare bath had tiny red ants/bugs everywhere- if you left anything out on counter they were in it. Traps that were in unit did not resolve the issue and we did not call rental company because we didn’t want to mess with anyone coming into condo. Would also recommend getting a spatula to mix with, crab crackers for crab legs and garlic press. Overall a nice stay but would not rent unit again.
