Six-bedroom beach houses that sleep 21–22, minutes from the Gulf. Built for reunions, tournaments, corporate retreats, and the trips your whole family talks about for years.
Three large homes, minutes from the beach
We own and operate three six-bedroom homes in Bradenton, each a short drive from the white sand of Anna Maria Island.
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 homes
Room for everyone, comfort for everyone
Each home sleeps 21–22 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.
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.
