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.
Located in Bradenton Beach, this vacation home is near theme parks and near the beach. Travelers eager for a bit of culture can stop by John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Coquina Beach and Bradenton Beach. Looking to enjoy an event or a game while in town? See what's happening at IMG Bollettieri Tennis Academy or Longboat Key Public Tennis Center. Discover the area's water adventures with jet skiing and snorkeling nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with horse riding and ecotours.
