Family-Friendly Bradenton Retreat with Private Pool

Beach days. Pool days. IMG tournaments. Easy airport access. Welcome to your Slice of Happiness! ☀️🌴

Escape to your own private Florida getaway in Bradenton—close to the beaches, minutes from IMG Academy and SRQ Airport, and within walking distance of everyday conveniences like Target, Publix, Chick-fil-A, Sonic and Taco Bell.

After a day exploring the Gulf Coast, come home to your private screened-in backyard oasis. Take a dip in the sparkling heated pool, relax on the lounge chairs, enjoy dinner on the shaded patio, or fire up the grill and settle in for the evening. It’s the perfect place to slow down and enjoy time together—without the crowds.

🏡 Your home away from home

Our 3-bedroom, 2-bath home comfortably accommodates families, couples and groups traveling together.

The primary bedroom features a king bed, TV, walk-in closet, private walk-in shower and double doors leading directly to the lanai.

The second bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed, TV and closet.

The third bedroom is designed with families in mind, featuring three twin beds in a triple bunk setup, along with children’s books, toys and a bean bag chair. A clean pack ’n play with sheets is also provided for our littlest guests.

The open-concept living area gives everyone space to relax, with a large TV on a swivel mount and plenty of room to spend time together.

The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from quick breakfasts before heading to the beach to dinners enjoyed at home. You’ll find a new oven, Keurig and drip coffee makers, toaster, blender, slow cooker and Instant Pot combo, along with the everyday essentials you’ll need during your stay.

🎲 Little extras that make a family vacation easier

We love games and have stocked the house with a variety of games, puzzles and books for both kids and adults. We want you to feel like you can actually relax here—not like you’ve simply rented a place to sleep.

🏖️ Everything you need for a beach day

We’ve got the beach gear covered! Guests have complimentary use of:

* 4 beach chairs
* 2 beach umbrellas
* Beach towels
* Beach toys
* Beach wagon

Pack lighter, head to the beach and enjoy your day.

🌴 Our favorite part: the backyard

After a day in the Florida sun, come home and make the most of your private screened lanai. Enjoy the pool, lounge chairs, shaded seating and grill area while the kids swim and everyone unwinds.

The pool can be heated for an additional $20/day. Pool temperatures may vary depending on weather conditions.

The grill is available to use at no additional charge. We simply ask that guests clean it after use. A $35 cleaning charge applies if the grill is left uncleaned. A backup propane tank is also available for your convenience.

❄️ NEW: Air conditioning unit installed June 2026!

We’d love to welcome you to your own Slice of Happiness in Bradenton—where beach days, pool days and family time come together. 🌴☀️

About the host

Hosted by Abby Gorecki

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Abby & Kyle! Our home base is Wisconsin, but Florida has become a second home to us—and we’re so excited to share a little piece of our happy place with you.

When we’re in Florida, one of our favorite evenings is dinner at Ugly Grouper followed by watching the sunset on the beach. We love traveling, too—our most unforgettable adventure was exploring the islands of Moorea and Bora Bora. And when we’re not traveling, you’ll find us usually at home with our family and friends or at a beer garden enjoying music.

One of our favorite features of this home? **The built-in pool stools!** There’s something pretty great about sitting poolside with a drink, soaking up the Florida sunshine, and having nowhere you need to be.

We hope you’ll love this home as much as we do and leave with some wonderful Florida memories of your own. 🌴☀️

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it gives you the best of both worlds: easy access to Bradenton’s beautiful beaches while still offering the peaceful, home-like feel of a residential community. We love being close to everything you need while coming home to a neighborhood that feels quiet, welcoming, and relaxed.

After a day of exploring the beaches, restaurants, and local attractions, it’s nice to have a calm place to unwind. For us, that balance is what makes this neighborhood feel like the perfect home base for a Florida getaway. Lastly, we have family that live nearby, so we love to visit often!

What makes this property unique

We designed our home to feel like your own little slice of happiness in Florida. We designed it to be comfortable, welcoming, and made for slowing down and enjoying time together. Our goal is to have you feeling at home the moment you walk in the door.

What makes it special is the combination of a peaceful residential setting, a private pool, and thoughtful touches (such as games and books) throughout the home that make it easy to settle in and feel at home. From relaxing poolside to enjoying dinner together after a day at the beach, this is a place designed for making memories, not just spending the night.
