Finding a vacation rental for a big group is hard. Most “large” homes just stack bunk beds into too few rooms and hope you don’t notice. Our Bradenton homes were built for the opposite: real space, private bathrooms, resort-style backyards, and room for 21 to 22 people to spread out and still come together. Whether you’re bringing four families, a tournament team, or three generations under one roof, this is where large groups actually want to stay near Anna Maria Island.
Why groups choose our large group vacation rentals
Room for everyone, comfort for everyone
Each home sleeps 21 to 22 with a layout that keeps a big group happy: private suites so couples and families get their own space, oversized dining tables so everyone eats together, and enough bathrooms that no one waits in line. Fully equipped kitchens, comfortable beds, and the small details (beach chairs, cribs, high chairs, stocked supplies) that other rentals forget.
Resort-style backyards
Heated saltwater pools and hot tubs at every home, privacy-fenced for comfort, plus game rooms, theaters, pickleball, basketball, ping pong, cornhole, and outdoor entertainment. After a beach day, nobody wants to leave the backyard.
Built for the way you travel
Youth sports teams & IMG Academy tournaments
We’re a favorite home base for sports families. Our homes sit just minutes from IMG Academy (Tropical Vibe is only 2.3 miles away), with separate living and entertainment spaces where players can rest, study, and unwind between games, and dining tables big enough to seat the whole team for meals. Soccer showcases, tournament weekends, and travel teams come back to us year after year because one house keeps the whole roster together.
Family reunions & multi-generational trips
These homes were made for reunions. Mermaid Manor’s single-floor layout makes it easy for grandparents to navigate, while game rooms, pools, and theaters keep the kids busy. Couples get private suites, and everyone gathers around the island or the dining table. From 80-year-olds to toddlers, every generation has a good trip.
Need even more room?
Mermaid Manor and Mango Manor are a quarter mile apart and sleep 44 together. See our family reunion rental that sleeps 40+.
Corporate retreats & group getaways
For teams that want to get out of a sterile conference hotel, our homes offer something better: space to work and space to bond. Big kitchens and dining areas for shared meals, comfortable common areas for sessions, fast WiFi throughout, and pools, theaters, and game rooms for downtime. A retreat your team actually remembers, minutes from the beach.
Holiday gatherings & special occasions
Thanksgiving dinners cooked in a full kitchen, holiday gatherings around a 15-foot island, milestone celebrations by the pool with an outdoor movie screen. When the whole family comes together for something special, these homes have the space to host it right.
Wedding rentals near Anna Maria Island
Planning a beach wedding on Anna Maria Island or a celebration in Bradenton? Our homes keep the wedding party and out-of-town family together under one roof. Mango Manor and Mermaid Manor each sleep 22 and Tropical Vibe sleeps 21, so one home can hold the whole bridal party, and two or three homes together can host up to 65 guests.
Every home has six bedrooms, plenty of room to spread out for hair and makeup, a big kitchen for the rehearsal brunch, and a private pool for the day after. Mango Manor and Mermaid Manor are about a quarter mile apart, so a large wedding group can split between them and still be steps away. The Anna Maria Island beaches are 10 to 15 minutes from each home.
Girls trips & bachelorette weekends
Looking for a bachelorette house in Bradenton or a girls trip rental near Anna Maria Island? Every home has six bedrooms, a private pool and a hot tub for late nights, so the whole group stays together instead of splitting across hotel rooms.
Spend the day on the Anna Maria Island beaches, catch the sunset over the Gulf, then head back for movie night on the 20-foot outdoor screen at Tropical Vibe, the home theater at Mango Manor, or the cabana game room at Mermaid Manor. Island restaurants and beach bars are about 15 minutes away. See our Anna Maria Island restaurant guide for where to eat.
Spring break in Bradenton
Spring break is our busiest season. Most of our spring guests are families and multigenerational groups, many from the Midwest, looking for one house big enough for everyone near Anna Maria Island. There are no fixed Saturday-to-Saturday stays, so you can match your trip to your school calendar.
Pool heat is free November 1 to May 31, so the pool stays warm on cooler March days. Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) is about 20 minutes away, and Tampa (TPA) and St. Pete-Clearwater (PIE) are about 50 to 55 minutes. March books early, so check dates as soon as you know your break. See our Anna Maria Island spring break guide for weather, flights and travel tips.
Summer vacations
Warm Gulf water, quieter beaches and a private pool for every afternoon. Tropical Vibe is a two-minute walk to G.T. Bray Park, with a splash park, playgrounds, pickleball and tennis, which makes it an easy pick for families with young kids. See our guide for why families pick the island in June, July and August: Anna Maria Island summer vacation rentals.
Golf trips & guys weekends
Bradenton makes an easy base for a golf trip, with courses across Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota a short drive away. After the round, everyone comes back to one house instead of a row of hotel rooms.
Mango Manor has a private pickleball court and basketball court plus parking for 8 or more vehicles. Mermaid Manor has a pool table and a poker table. Tropical Vibe has a 20-foot outdoor movie screen for the big game. All three have a private pool and hot tub.
Bringing the dog
Up to 2 dogs under 50 lbs are welcome for $50 per dog per night, with pre-approval. No cats.
Teams are welcome here We say yes
Many vacation rental hosts will not book sports teams. We do. We have hosted teams at our Kentucky and Bradenton homes, the experiences have been great, and we are happy to welcome yours. Contact us before you book and we will help you choose the right home for your group.
