Gulf Coast Escape · IMG Academy · Dual Pools & Hot Tubs · Anna Maria Island
This is one of the most consistently loved Bradenton vacation rentals on the Gulf Coast — a spacious, beautifully maintained 2-bedroom condo inside Shorewalk Vacation Villas, with two resort pools, two hot tubs, and Anna Maria Island just fifteen minutes from your front door. Guests come back year after year. Once you stay, that will make complete sense.
Whether your trip is built around IMG Academy, a week of Gulf Coast beach days, or a warm snowbird escape, this is the kind of place that feels like yours within an hour of arriving.
THE SPACE At 1,250 sq ft, this second-floor Gulf Coast condo rental gives you genuine room to spread out and settle in. Being on the second floor means no foot traffic above or below, elevated views, and the kind of cross-breeze that makes Florida mornings genuinely enjoyable. The open living and dining area seats four and flows directly onto the screened lanai — the kind of outdoor space that turns a morning coffee into an hour well spent. Every room is bright, comfortable, and set up for real living, not just sleeping.
The kitchen is fully equipped from top to bottom — full appliances, complete cookware, and everything you need to cook and eat in like a local. Publix and Aldi are both a short walk away. The master bedroom has a king bed, walk-in closet, flat-screen TV, and an ensuite with double sinks. The guest bedroom has two twin beds with a full bath nearby — ideal for kids, a second couple, or teammates traveling together. In-unit washer and dryer, high-speed WiFi, Smart TVs, and beach chairs for your Anna Maria Island days are all included.
THE RESORT Shorewalk Vacation Villas is a full resort destination built around the water. Two heated pools, two hot tubs, tennis, pickleball, basketball, bocce, shuffleboard, scenic lakeside walking paths, a clubhouse with billiards, and BBQ grills — all within beautifully maintained grounds that most guests genuinely never want to leave. Restaurants, groceries, and shops are all within easy walking distance of the front door.
5 MINUTES FROM IMG ACADEMY IMG Academy is one of the most prestigious sports training institutions on the planet — and this Florida beach condo sits just five minutes from its gates. Families traveling for tournaments, recruiting visits, and showcase events return here because it offers something no hotel can: a real home base with a full kitchen, two resort pools, two hot tubs, and a private lanai to decompress on after a long day on the sidelines. This is IMG Academy accommodation that actually feels like a vacation.
15 MINUTES FROM ANNA MARIA ISLAND Anna Maria Island vacation days start here and end well — fifteen minutes to Coquina Beach, Bean Point, and the clearest turquoise water on the Gulf Coast. Pack the cooler, grab the beach chairs we provide, and make a full day of it. Lunch at the Sandbar Restaurant on the water, or Skinny's Place for what many locals call the best grouper sandwich on the island.

We had a fantastic stay! The condo is beautiful, spacious, and extremely comfortable. Perfect for relaxing and feeling right at home. Ervin (host) was professional, kind, and very accommodating, making communication easy and the entire experience seamless. We’re truly thankful for such a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this property.
We enjoyed our stay. The condo is very clean and well stocked with anything you may need. It's conveniently located to shopping, dining, and the beach. The pools are very nice - plenty of chairs and clean water.
We love our stay. The condo is beautiful and well equipped. Everything is very close (grocery stores, restaurant, shopping, etc.). We loved the fact that we could used two different pools onsite and we also visited the local beaches. We'll definitely stay here again the next time we visit family.
We had an awesome stay! The condo was super clean, spacious, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The washer and dryer came in really handy during our stay.The Shorewalk complex is beautiful and in a great spot. The local grocery stores (Aldi and Publix) and restaurants (Applebees and Outback Steakhouse) are within walking distance. We took a few photos when we arrived, but the place is even nicer in person.Ervin was great host, super responsive and easy to work with. Thanks for everything!
We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo! It was incredibly clean, spacious, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The washer and dryer were a huge plus. The host was fantastic, very responsive and helpful throughout our visit, even going the extra mile to recommend some amazing local restaurants (which we loved!). You can tell a lot of care has gone into making this space comfortable and welcoming. We're already planning to return in a few months, and we’ll absolutely stay here again if it’s available. Highly recommend!
The condo was better then the pictures and the host was very kind. We had great time using the onsite amenities. The clubhouse staff was super friendly. We are already planning on coming back in the fall.
Love the beautiful condo! Condo was decorated beautifully with comfortable beds. Great location to everything and the beaches were just a short drive away. Also the complex and condo was very quiet. Had a very peaceful, relaxing time there! Really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there again!
We had a wonderful stay at Ervin's condo. The condo is beautiful and modern. The complex has 2 pools, pickleball courts and is about a 15 mins drive to the local beaches. It's also within walking distance to the grocery stores and restaurants. We plan on coming back in the winter and we will definitely stay with Ervin again.
The condo was very clean, updated & perfect for our family! The pools were clean and well maintained. The only issue we experienced was the very rude member at the pool grilling us on why we were there.
Thank you for a great stay. The home was clean and exceeded expectations. Extremely close proximity to IMG which was where our event took place. Would absolutely stay again!
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful and spacious condo. The unit was modern, clean, and well-maintained. The amenities were wonderful. Everything from the pools, hot tubs, pickleball courts, and clubhouse staff was top-notch. It was also in a perfect location, close to beaches, restaurants, and grocery stores, which made getting around super convenient. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.
Clean, quiet, appeared to be newly decorated and very tasteful. Central location 15 min drive to beaches or Robinson preserve-which we really enjoyed, it’s a beautiful place to kayak, bike or walk. We enjoyed our stay.
Property was everything we imagined from the listing, close to shopping restaurants and water access. Host provided immediate assistance when we contacted him. No issues in renting this villa.
Very clean, beautiful furniture and such, the picture of the lanai was different then on the VRBO, ceiling fan in living room we couldn't figure out, an instruction book would be great .. communication was excellent with owner, overall a wonderful stay- one of the best I've stayed at!Commini
Everything about this place was perfect...... the communication, the location felt safe, the condo was clean and as beautiful as it is in the pictures. Very nice property in a convenient location. Super easy check in process also.!
I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into the unit. It was clean, looked newly updated, and had all the necessities for my trip. I will rebook when I return to Bradenton.
We had an excellent stay in this beautifully updated apartment. Only thing really missing from the apartment were beach towels for use by guests. We spent most of our days on nearby Anna Maria island but being so close to all the restaurants and stores was a big plus. We enjoyed bbqs by the pool most evenings and the entire property never felt too crowded, even when the holiday weekend arrived. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
We had a great relaxing time. The unit was very clean and comfortable. The location is very good. Beaches /restaurants about 10 mins away and a Publix really close. Erwin responded super fast with any questions we had. Loved it!
