Cottage holiday rentals in Bradenton

Very responsive, helpful hosts and a wonderful location with lots to offer.

Cozy, comfortable, yet two stories with plenty space to stretch out, scenic view with a hot tub, nice balcony view for coffee in the morning. Can’t go wrong.

We had the best time - it was everything we could've wanted in a rental! This was our first time staying in Holmes Beach and we loved it. The house is close to everything in town. We used and enjoyed all the wonderful amenities that Craig provides - the golf cart (a must!), beach cruisers, beach wagon, umbrella and chairs. The pool, hot tub and hammock were also a highlight for us. We can't wait to come back!

We had an amazing experience at Laura’s cottage. The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect, close to beaches, shops, and restaurants, yet in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we felt welcome. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and we really appreciated the photo shoot areas around the house. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful 5 night stay at Amy's for my first visit to Florida. The space was clean, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and the outside space was a peaceful area to spend our mornings. The hot tub in the evening was a perfect way to end the day of exploring. Short driving distance to the beach and other lovely neighbourhoods. We would absolutely recommend, and would be happy to stay again.

Small but cozy place. Perfect location to walk to the beach or to get something to eat.

From the moment we arrived at this top-rated “Quaint Cottage,” we knew we’d found something special. This charming retreat sets the bar for excellent stays. Inside, every detail felt outstanding—from the freshly laundered linens and plush towels to the fully equipped kitchen that made cooking a breeze. Madeline’s communication was first-class, offering clear check-in instructions and local recommendations that turned our weekend into a seamless escape. Every little touch—from the high-speed Wi-Fi to the thoughtful supply of beach chairs and umbrellas—was superior… the gold standard of hospitality. Location-wise, you couldn’t ask for more: just a quick four-minute stroll to Crescent Beach’s powdery white sands, turquoise blue water and deep red, yellow and orange sunsets. Within steps you’ll find a lineup of dining options—fresh seafood at waterfront restaurants, laid-back bars serving sunset cocktails, and cozy cafés perfect for post-beach coffee. In every way, our stay was awesome!

This is a BEAUTIFUL place. There was a lovely welcome basket with toiletries when we arrived. Lots of fun board games. The back patio with hot tub are incredible, at night it is amazing. The host was really proactive in communicating with us, and was a pleasure to work with. Very, very quiet inside as well. With 2 bunk beds in the 2nd bedroom, you have lots of options. My son kept begging us to stay another day! We would highly recommend this location to anyone.

I had a pleasant stay at Dallas’ little cottage. I was traveling alone with my medical foster and felt incredibly safe, even after arriving pretty late. There were guests in the house up front, but were quiet and respectful. The size is perfect for solo or a couple. The decor was tasteful, house was clean (no pet smell) and having a fence was convenient. Loved how walkable the neighborhood was too! It is an older house with typical character-filled imperfections, but I love that vibe and the warmth it gives. As a heads up to anyone unsteady on their feet, the floor does slope in some areas. The only star I knocked for description was for the additional pet rules posted in the house that weren’t in the online listing at the time of booking/stay. Biggest one to note is that pets are not permitted to be on the furniture (understandable, but a surprise). With a velcro dog, that put me in a predicament. If your needs match with the rules, it is a solid choice!

We LOVED staying at Christopher’s. The apartment was exactly what we needed. The neighborhood is adorable and so close to downtown. Christopher was an absolute gem of a host who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. So grateful! Would return.

We absolutely love staying at this property! It is our third time booking. The cottage is always impeccably clean and in a very safe area. It is stocked with everything you need. We love Coral Cottage! And Barbara is very friendly and so responsive. Dunedin is an amazing, quaint little town with so many wonderful food choices. Cafe' Alfresco is our personal favorite. Barbara's cottage is just a couple blocks from downtown Dunedin and only a 15 minute drive to Honeymoon Island State Park or Clearwater beach. I always pick up a piece of jewelry as a memento when we go on a trip. Just kitty-corner from the Airbnb is a charming jewelry store filled with beautiful, unique pieces that are reasonably priced. Romantique Jewelers. Just ask for Kimber, she's a doll! Don't hesitate to book this property for your next trip!!!

While staying in Indians Rock Beach, the apartment was just what we needed. It was a perfect size for the 3 of us. And so close to the beach. We took his recommendations and went to Cooky Coconut while the sun was setting. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Great amenities for the beach we were grateful for. Overall great experience!! Hoping to visit again. Thank you Eric!

The location was great. Place was tidy and clean also checking in was super easy. Tons of things to do nearby. Neighborhood was quiet. Host was super responsive and made our stay perfect! Would book this again it’s just as you see!!!

Beautiful little house, only a 1 block walk to the beach. Many restaurants, bars, shopping areas all within walking distance. The sound of the pickle ball players and laughter in the park while sitting on the back patio was a very nice touch! Overall fantastic experience, we will be back!!

Absolutely perfect Airbnb in every way! The location could not be better. We laughed because we had dinner reservations at Pia’s Italian restaurant and realized it was right across the street. Talk about convenience! This was hands down the cleanest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. Uncle Finley left us a thoughtful welcome package with a bottle of wine, beer, water, orange juice, and more. It’s clear he’s put real care into every detail to make the stay extra comfortable. Phone chargers were exactly where you needed them (no hunting for outlets), there were doggie bowls and doggie bags for our pup, Uncle Finley was super responsive to questions and genuinely committed to taking care of both his guests and this beautiful home. We’d come back in a heartbeat. Don’t hesitate just book it! Tip: In addition to Pia’s homemade pasta with pesto sauce, I’d also highly recommend the restaurant Pearl by Chef Karim for an unforgettable meal! The Pearl is a testament to culinary excellence.

Nicole was very responsive! 1 of the beach chairs was broken and she had chairs delivered same day. Loved having beach cart and beach towels to use. House very clean. Great location close to the beach. Would definitely stay here again

Excellent stay Excellent hosts Thank you for hosting us

Place was great for me and my 3 daughters. Super cute old house with adorable kitchen and pool house. Had some trouble getting Into the pool house when we arrived but host was there in a flash to help us out. There was even a cooler, beach chairs and ice packs available for our use. Very convenient

This was a great stay for our family of 5 while visiting the Sarasota area. Beds were comfy, extra pillows and blankets available, very well stocked kitchen. AC worked great. We did have a small issue with the bunk beds not being made and a coverlet that was dirty. The host was quick to respond and even refunded part of our cleaning fee to compensate us. We were pleased with how it was handled. Don’t miss visiting The Ringling (plan to spend all day), Caspersen Beach (for shark teeth), the point of Anna Maria Island (for tons of huge shells and beautiful beaches with lots of wildlife). We also really liked this little neighborhood. Be sure to walk around the corner to meet Sheldon the tortoise.

This was our second year of spending a month at Aileen's place. Again, it was so perfect for my husband and I. We did have guests stay for a couple of nights and the air mattress is REALLY nice! Everything about the space is so wonderful. Clean, cute, everything you would need for a month. It is also close to so many beaches (Fort Desoto Park ( our favorite), St. Pete's beach, and Anna Maria Island beaches. It's close to all that Bradenton, St. Petersburg and Sarasota have to offer. We felt right at home the day we arrived and it was hard to say good-bye. We definitely hope to visit again!

I travel regularly for work. I’ve stayed at dozens of AirBnbs throughout the country. This was my best experience by a mile. I was legitimately sad to leave. Can’t recommend this spot enough!!!

Fabulous time at hidden cove - only thing to keep in mind is there are only 2 beach chairs so if you’re with a bunch of beach bound guests that could be a consideration. Loved our stay and would definitely stay again when we want to be in the Bradenton area.

Great stay, very comfortable and close drive to the beaches and to downtown Bradenton.

Host is very responsive, courtesy, and went out her way to make my stay comfortable as much as possible.
