Beautiful spot, very clean
I stayed here with 8 friends on a golf / fishing trip and it was a really great spot. We had tons of space. The dock was great for fishing. The pool and yard were well kept and spacious I would highly recommend

Amazing amenities and view
We spent a long weekend at this property with 9 of my girlfriends. This home had everything we needed. The kitchen is fully stocked, bathrooms with plenty of towels and lots of pool towels as well. The outdoor area is truly an oasis. Sunrises from one side of the house and sunsets from the other. I cannot recommend this home enough.

Beautiful Get-away
Exactly as listed...a beautiful home with everything we needed. Rented the pontoon boat and enjoyed a day on the water along with a stop at a restaurant for lunch. Pool was exactly what we needed, so relaxing along with floats. Evening hours spent playing games which were there. The owner was very helpful with any questions we had and very quick to respond. We will return.

Amazing house with even better views!
We could not be happier with our stay. The home was perfect for our large family and kids. The owner was awesome and came to the property and it was great hearing the history of the property. Pontoon boat on site was the biggest plus. We will be back!

Family Time
Wonderful property, well stocked kitchen, spacious interior ... large landscaped yard with pool and use of kayaks. The owner allowed us to rent the pontoon boat and took the time to come over to show us details regarding same and where to go/dine from the water. Very responsive. Our family had a great get away - even teenagers weren't bored!

Multigenerational Family Trip
Went to Sarasota for Graduation. Perfect home for 3 generations of family to stay. Beautiful property on a baby peninsula into the bay, island right across the way where birds came to roost for the night. Lovely to just sit and watch the bay, but also awesome pool and really enjoyed adding pontoon boat rental. Able to cook most meals at home. Great location for accessing Sarasota and Bradenton schools/restaurants/beaches but also didn’t have much desire to leave the house.

Paradise on the Water
Our stay which included teens, parents, grandparents and a friend was amazing! The house is perfect for our group of all ages…even better than the listing as you can never fully capture a gorgeous view in a photograph! The pool, fishing dock and pontoon boat rental made our stay adventure packed. The house is beautifully decorated and spacious for larger groups. The owner kindly extended our check-out time as we had a later flight and recommended some great places to eat. We all would absolutely recommend this property and are hopeful we can head back this way to stay again sometime in the future.

Friends and Family Wedding weekend
We had a wonderful week at the beautiful Bay House retreat! The home was beautiful, the grounds were stunning, and the owners responded so fast when we needed anything. We are definitely looking forward to staying here again...hopefully in warmer weather when we can enjoy the gorgeous pool and rent the boat. They truly thought of everything and we could not have been more appreciative. We loved it!

Our favorite rental property yet!
We absolutely loved this property and will definitely come back. It was perfectly clean and perfectly private. The pool was warm for spring break, as promised. We’ve been promised these things at all our previous rentals, but this one actually delivered, and that’s why we will be back!

Fantastic All Around
Our stay was for a staff retreat. The house was perfect for our needs. The amenities were beyond compare, and the location on the bay could not be beat. Everyone had a fantastic stay at the Bayfront Retreat. The location is in the middle of everything in Bradenton and a short trip to Sarasota and the beaches. The kayaks afforded everyone an opportunity to get into the bay and enjoy the serenity of the waters.
