2 Side-by-Side Homes + 2 Heated Pools + Spa Near Anna Maria Island & IMG Academy
Palma Rosa and Palma Janoli are two adjacent 3-bedroom, 2-bath vacation homes in the Palma Sola area of northwest Bradenton, Florida, rented together as one reservation for groups of up to 17 guests. The homes sit directly next door to each other, giving families and groups the convenience of staying together while still having two separate kitchens, living rooms, outdoor spaces, and sleeping areas.
Together, the homes offer 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 private heated pools, a spillover spa, 2 screened lanais, 2 garage game rooms, beach gear, and plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Free Level 2 EV charging is available at Palma Rosa. The location provides quick access to Anna Maria Island beaches, IMG Academy, Robinson Preserve, De Soto National Memorial, restaurants, shopping, and Gulf Coast attractions.
Two Homes Right Next Door
Guests reserve both Palma Rosa and Palma Janoli for the same stay. The homes are on adjacent lots and can be easily accessed from one another using the front or back entrances.
This setup works especially well for extended families, multi-family vacations, sports groups, wedding guests, and other larger groups who want to stay close together without squeezing everyone into a single house.
Each home has its own:
Private screened pool
Full kitchen
Living room
Dining space
Washer and dryer
Gas grill
Garage game area
Driveway and parking
Separate bedrooms and bathrooms
Pools, Spa & Outdoor Living
Both homes have private heated pools and screened outdoor living areas.
Palma Janoli features a 32' x 15' heated saltwater pool, 7' x 7' spillover spa, sun shelf/tanning ledge, covered outdoor dining area, and multiple seating areas overlooking the water. The pool and spa were completed in 2023 and continue to be one of the home's standout features.
Palma Rosa features a private heated pool, spacious screened lanai, covered outdoor dining and lounge space, and a 58-inch Roku TV overlooking the pool area.
Both pools are heated to approximately 86°F at no additional charge.
At Palma Janoli, guests can heat the spillover spa to approximately 104°F on demand using the controls provided at the property. Because the spa spills over into the pool, it cannot remain heated continuously. It generally takes about 1 to 2 hours to reach temperature after it is turned on, and we can also help schedule it to heat automatically at preferred times.
The pools use electric heat pumps. Cold weather can affect their ability to maintain the desired temperature, and the heaters will enter freeze-protection mode and will not operate when outdoor temperatures are below approximately 50°F. Refunds are not provided for weather conditions or other circumstances outside our control that affect pool temperature.
The pools are professionally cleaned and maintained on a regular schedule. As with any residential outdoor pool, leaves or other debris may occasionally fall into the water between service visits. Pool nets are provided for guest use.
A removable child-safety fence is available at each pool. Guests are responsible for properly setting up the fences and ensuring the gates remain secured. Please contact us before your stay if you would like assistance with setup. Pool safety features are provided for convenience and are not a substitute for active adult supervision of children in or around the pools and homes.
Glass is not permitted in the pools or on the pool decks. Plastic drinkware and dishes are provided. Glass in or around a pool may require the pool to be drained and professionally cleaned, and guests may be responsible for resulting costs or damage.

We stayed at the 2 house with our boys and their family’s. The houses were perfect!! They had EVERYTHING that was needed. I have never stayed at a VRBO that was so well stocked. I would definitely stay here again. We had a wonderful time.
This property was wonderful for our family reunion! Both houses were equally well equipped, beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and perfectly located close to Anna Maria Island. Both pools were clean and very comfortable temperature. The instructions provided by the hosts were very clear. The safety gates provided by the pool at the white house were greatly appreciated and were in constant use!! We loved everything about these houses and would gladly stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Kate Kramschuster
Hello! We are a family from Wisconsin that fell in love with the Florida Gulf Coast on our first family vacation. After returning whenever we could, we purchased these two side-by-side homes and updated both, including adding Palma Janoli's pool and spa in 2023. Someday we hope to retire here, but for now we enjoy visiting and sharing the homes with others. Together, the homes accommodate groups of up to 17 guests.
We are available to answer any questions you may have during your stay. We are passionate about travel and making memories and hope our homes provide a comfortable place for your group to make amazing memories of your own.
Why they chose this property
We love that these two homes let larger groups stay together without squeezing everyone into one house. Families and friends can spend time together around the pools and outdoor spaces, then spread out between two kitchens, two living rooms, six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and separate sleeping areas. The quiet Palma Sola neighborhood is also close to Anna Maria Island, Robinson Preserve, De Soto National Memorial, IMG Academy, shopping, restaurants, and other Gulf Coast attractions.
What makes this property unique
Two side-by-side homes give groups up to 17 guests two private heated pools, two screened lanais, two kitchens, two living rooms, two game rooms, and separate sleeping spaces. Palma Janoli features a new heated saltwater pool with spillover spa and sun shelf. Palma Rosa adds a covered poolside living area with outdoor TV and free Level 2 EV charging. Both homes include beach gear and easy access to Anna Maria Island and IMG Academy.
