About this house rental
Spacious vacation home in Bradenton Beach - just across the street from the white sand and blue waters of award-winning Coquina Beach!
Al's Dream is the downstairs lower-level unit of a two-unit complex that makes up Cottages by the Sea.
This beautiful home was recently renovated with the charm of the old south and the modern amenities that travelers want to have the perfect vacation! Comfortable seating, sleek fixtures, and new appliances will make Al's Dream, YOUR dream!
The kitchen is fully equipped to make everything from that morning cup of coffee to be enjoyed on the big southern front porch, to a family dinner made up from your catch of the day and Farmers Market finds.
There is plenty of seating indoor and outdoor to gather as a family, or a group of friends to celebrate the sunshine and sea!
The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, with a master bathroom. Take full advantage of stepping out from the back door onto the deck and pool area where you can enjoy a nightcap or get in one more chapter of your beach reads!
The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed, and right off the living room is the third bedroom with two twin beds.
The beauty of this home extends to the lush backyard with a "SHARED" pool, outdoor seating, and gas grill.
The location in proximity to the beach is superb! Right across the street, a 2-minute walk... and you have found paradise! The large front porch is private for your use only! Kick off your flip flops, grab a sweet tea and enjoy the abundance of Gulf breezes.
While there are plenty of bed linens, beach towels, and bath towels, there is a washer and dryer to save your suitcase from sand on the way home!
The upstairs unit, called Angie's Place, is sweet as can be, with just as much personality as Al's Dream. The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit has a private balcony off the kitchen with views of the Gulf and a balcony off the bedroom overlooking the pool. Rent both units and sleep 10 of your friends or family comfortably.
PLEASE NOTE: The pool and backyard area is "SHARED" by both the (lower-level unit Al's Dream) and the (upper-level unit Angie's Place).
There are beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, floaties, and toys located on the side of the beach cottage. All beach accessories are also shared by guests.
PARKING:
2 parking spaces available in front of the home for each unit, for a total of 4 vehicles being able to fit.

This is our second year staying at Al’s Dream! We love the location and the house itself! We look forward to staying there again soon!

Great location and great place. Steps from beach, small but nice pool. Few minute walk from a couple of shops, restaurants and bars. Would stay here again. Only negative, and I would say this about a lot of rentals, is the kitchen gear could be a bit better. Knives were dull, the sharpener did not work really at all. That poor tomato. Coffee makere buttons were all worn off,

This was an excellent experience! My teenagers loved the fact we were so close to the beach plus having a pool in the back yard. We were able to make so many wonderful family memories & with teenagers who don’t want nothing but to play video games usually this was amazing! Thank u!

It's a great location with lots of beach chairs and floaties available to use. But there were so many little irritants that our group agreed we would not stay there again. It is very cluttered with nick knacks and decor items - every inch of wall space and floor space filled - but not with practical things. Bookshelves had decor items - no actual books or games - and made the space seem crowded and tight. Wooden ducks on dressers are not necessary and just get in the way.There was just 1 towel bar and a tin basket/holder for the blow dryer in the 2nd bathroom - but no hooks for a hand towel or extra bath towels - and no shelves for storage in the bathroom. The master bedroom had a dresser that was almost impossible to open because the knobs were driftwood instead of handles. The lightbulb for a lamp in the queen bedroom was burned out and no extra bulbs. Window blind handle bent. There's a fishing pole on the living room wall that's dropping weights and hooks and we found those in the couch cushions. The outlet covers in the twin bedroom and the master bedroom are loose and not fully connected to the wall. And the pool was so hot that we could not sit in it at all. I know it's summer in FL but partially draining it and adding cold hose water to regulate temps seems like it should be standard.Like I said - just lots of little irritants. We didn't contact the management company because it was a weekend - and we still had a great girls trip. Just giving our honest review.
