Our family enjoyed our stay at Whispering Palms. The home is conveniently located near Bradenton beach. The kitchen is fully stocked, there were tons of towels available and the car port had anything you could possible need from beach chairs, floats, a beach wagon and bikes. With 4 kids in tow, we enjoyed the open floor plan and space to spread out. The TVs in each room was also a plus. The dock was also perfect for fishing and loading and unloading the boat we rented for a day. We will definitely be back.

We stayed at this beach house over the 4th of July and had an incredible time. The location was unbeatable. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed. It was the perfect spot to relax and celebrate with friends and family. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Great property in a great location. We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space and a great layout for 4 couples. We were able to enjoy the pool. The dock worked out great for our boat that we took out every day while there. I would highly recommend staying here.
