Sandcastle 3 · 8 Restaurants Nearby · Gulf Front

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

Incredible location. The place is actually much nicer than the pictures show. The noise from Bridge street was a little loud but nothing major. The only issue that stuck out was a smoke alarm going off. Hardwired system so taking it down and removing the batteries didn’t stop it. Called the after hours maintenance and they said someone would be out soon and no one came and then I had to call in the morning to get it resolved. The guy that showed up just said "yeah they say that sometimes". Other than that the stay was great. I would highly recommend this unit.

A Perfect Stay!

We can’t say enough about this incredible condo! It was absolutely perfect for our family. The condo was in the most ideal location; right on the beach, minutes away from shops and restaurants! The beach was breathtaking! We loved watching the sunset over the ocean from the screened in balcony. The condo was well equipped with everything you may need during your stay. It was clean, airy, and exactly where a vacation should be had! We will most definitely be back!!

Perfect getaway location

Beautiful unit on the beach. Steps from restaurants, bars, shops. Clean beach, gorgeous views. Grocery and pharmacy a short drive. Unit included beach towels and (no need to drag yours) chairs and umbrella. We’ll be back!

Very nice condo with all that we needed for our stay. Would have preferred the pool had a little more sunshine but it did provide a place to sun when the wind was rather fierce

Perfection!

This unit was absolute perfection! The view of the ocean is fantastic, the decor is very tasteful and the fully equipped kitchen made it very convenient. Watching the amazing sunsets from our balcony was an added bonus we didn't expect. We were here with our family and there was plenty of room for everyone. Being right across the street or within a very short walking distance from several restaurants was a terrific perk! We didn't have to drive anywhere! We have vacationed in the Carolinas for years but Anna Maria Island has stolen our hearts and this is our new destination of choice.
