About this house rental
2BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · 2 Blocks to Gulf · Covered Deck · Outdoor Shower · Gas Grill · Kayak & Paddleboard Launch Steps Away · Washer/Dryer In Unit · Military Discount Available
Two blocks from the Gulf, tucked between the Intracoastal Waterway and the beach in Bradenton Beach. The water is in every direction here — the question is just which way you want to face it today.
The covered deck is where the evenings happen. It's a private outdoor space for unwinding after a beach day — cold drink in hand, gas grill nearby, outdoor shower around the corner for rinsing off the sand. Not a view deck, but a genuine outdoor living room that guests consistently call a favorite part of the stay.
Inside, the layout is open and comfortable. The living, dining, and kitchen areas connect naturally — the cook stays in the conversation, the dining table seats six, and the 55" smart TV handles movie nights. The fully stocked kitchen has everything needed for full meals at home. A washer and dryer in the unit means a week-long stay with a family of six doesn't require overpacking.
The master suite has a king bed and its own en-suite bath. The guest bedroom has a full and twin bed configuration — flexible for families with kids of different ages. The living room sofa sleeper handles a sixth guest comfortably.
Next door to the property is a kayak and paddleboard launch onto the Intracoastal Waterway — no driving, no trailer, just walk over and get on the water. A local park within easy reach adds a fishing pier, basketball court, and playground to the activity options without leaving the neighborhood.
The beach is two blocks away with a direct access path at the end of the street. The free Anna Maria Island trolley stops nearby for exploring Historic Bridge Street, restaurants, and the full length of AMI without moving your car.
Bliss & Tonic is a two-unit property — Down and Up — both managed by Island Vacation Properties. Traveling with extended family or a larger group? Book both units together and everyone gets their own private space while sharing the deck, grill, and beach access. It's one of the better group setups on the island.
A 5% military discount is available for all active and veteran military guests — always, not just on request.
Bliss & Tonic Down requires a one-week minimum stay with parking for up to three cars. This property is 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.

10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Everything was very seamless, host communicated effectively and reached out several times to make sure everything was going well. The unit was clean and ready for us and was just like the description. It was really perfect for our family of 6--4 kids aged 12, 10, 8 and 3. We absolutely loved the covered deck/porch, the pass through window from the kitchen to outside made eating out there so easy! Some things that I wanted to note that may help future guests because the information wasn't readily available. As far as staples for the house, they provide you with a handful of dishwashing pods, some dish soap and sponge as well as a few trash bags, 4 rolls of TP, and a roll of paper towels. The kitchen was well equipped for anything you may want to cook or prepare. There were no storage containers for leftovers so keep that in mind. As far as pantry basics, there are none so you will need to bring your own salt/pepper, spices, extra paper towels most likely depending on the length of your stay, etc. They have a keurig and a regular coffee pot but you will need to supply your own coffee filters (standard 12cup paper filters---we did leave a pack of 200 behind so hopefully they keep them there for future guests). Not a complaint by any means, but we've stayed in VRBOs before that had these things so it's just good to know if you plan on shopping before arriving like we did. They have a full washer and dryer that we used a lot, just remember to bring some washing detergent!
