About this property

Blue Bayou - Charming home with heated pool, tiki and OPTIONAL BOAT DOCKAGE

  • Old and new Florida charm coexist for a relaxing and comfortable stay in this clean, charming, newly renovated home tucked in a treasure location between all that is tropical, beach, and water. Our location is unique in that you do not have the expense of staying directly on the water yet have access to a dock (just steps from the property) for boat dockage. There is a neighborhood bridge with a 84” clearance at king high tide.

    Coming with boats and trailers? Not a problem. Thanks to the exuberant amount of parking on this property, you can arrive and unload your gear, trailer the boat to the boat ramp 2 blocks away, park the trailer back at your doorstep, and dock the boat steps from your temporary abode. Being a boating family, one of our greatest goals was to make access to the water as easy and cost efficient as possible.

    The prize of this home is the backyard oasis. The myriad of sunny days, 249 per year, is the inspiration for this tropical getaway within a getaway. Beginning with the refreshing saltwater pool (heated for an additional fee) and ending with the stately 390 square foot tiki hut with ambient lighting, the in-betweens will delight also such as the propane firepit for cool evenings, the outside shower for a convenient rinse (especially after a salty day on the water), the convenient outside-access half bath, and spacious turf for cornhole and other game-playing. This oasis will continue to pull you outdoors for entertaining and relaxing with a grill and grill tools for preparing your catch of the day, a full-size fridge for easy access to libations and snacks, a teak table for dining for 8, and lounge seating and a large TV under the tiki.

    Palma Sola Bay Beach - less than 2 miles
    Holmes Beach - about 6 miles
    Anna Maria Island - less than 7 miles
    Bradenton Beach - about 8 miles

    Please help us be respectful to the residents of this wonderful community by honoring a quiet time after 10pm.

    DISCLAIMER - PLEASE BE AWARE THIS HOME IS NOT WATERFRONT BUT DOES HAVE ACCESS TO A DOCK ACROSS THE STREET FOR BOAT DOCKAGE ONLY.

    ** Pool can be heated upon request and additional fee of $35 per day.

Our 2nd time staying at the blue bayou with our 3 kids. Just as lovely as our first trip. Dock access is the highlight of our stay. Our son fishes on and off all day and loves every minute. The property owners added some fun outdoor games we enjoyed as a family. The softest bath towels ever!! So clean and comfortable. Very quiet neighborhood. Can’t wait to come back next summer already!

This is an AMAZING rental! It is very clean, has all you need in the home and the outdoor area is fantastic. The owner gives you a few laundry detergent pods, dishwasher pods and snacks to get you started, which we found very helpful. The home was spotless and owners were quick to respond with any questions. We hope to stay here again! HIGHLY recommend!

Our family of (4) loved this place! So clean and exactly how it’s pictured. The owners clearly take pride in this property and hosting guests. This property couldn’t be in a better location.

Our family had a fabulous stay! The spacious backyard was perfect for our group—we enjoyed both the sunshine and the ample shade under the tiki hut. The screened-in porch, complete with a bathroom and second fridge, was a standout feature. The house itself was exceptionally clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. The hosts were communicative, responsive, and very helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone!

My Family came down for a Soccer Tournament at IMG. The location could not of been better for that. 15 minutes to IMG, 15 minutes to the beaches, great restaurants were all in close proximity. My children loved the pool (Heated), the Tiki Hut, and outdoor living area. It was perfect for the down times and evenings after dinners out. The hosts were amazing as our travel home was delayed and they were more than helpful and flexible with our Check out plans (They even mailed back home a clothing item my daughter left behind). We are hoping to come back if we ever play down at IMG again or decide to vacation in the area.

This lovely home has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. The outdoor space, yard games, tiki hut with tv, pool, and grill was amazing! The indoor space was comfortable and decorated beautifully, the kitchen contained everything you could possibly need. We utilized the nearby dock access for fishing and also an easy walk to the river. We used the bikes and beach equipment available at the house. Location is great with a short drive to the beach and shopping just minutes away. We enjoyed everything about our stay and can’t wait to return!

Paradise!

We had a wonderful trip and the house was fantastic. We’ve stayed in many rentals and this was by far the most stocked and cleanest. They even provided more outdoor items (for beach and pool) than listed. We utilized all of the things and went to nearly all of the recommended restaurants and all were fantastic! The house was as close to everything we wanted to visit and the backyard was great for our family! I even had contact with the owners (our issues not house issues) and they were so kind, responsive and helpful! I cannot say enough good things. Book the trip and enjoy paradise!

Spring Break @ The Blue Bayou

This was a FANTASTIC property for our family! We loved the location in Bradeton. It was off the beaten path so we didn't feel the crowds of spring break but close to everything! The backyard is private, so big and set up so well. You can enjoy everything from the pool, a game on the tv, a fire and a bags tournament. They thought of everything! The house is also wonderful. We didn't spend much time in the house though. We spent most of our time in the backyard and screened in porch. We would stay again for sure!

Amazing Place!

We chose this location because of the backyard. It did not disappoint. The pool, the Tiki hut and the turf grass were perfect for us. This house was as advertised. It had been remodeled completely and was extremely nice inside and out. The location was close enough to the beaches to make a quick trip but far enough from the crowd to make it very enjoyable. We also enjoyed fishing off the dock we had access to. The host did an excellent job of responding to any questions we had.

BIG Thumbs Up!

Delightful home that was spotless and has an amazing backyard. It was nice to have bikes to ride and lots of beach supplies. The heated pool was warm, even in chilly weather. Great communication with the host. Beds and pillows were comfy. Loved the short distance to Anna Maria Island where we soaked up the sun on its beaches, took in a sunset & enjoyed a dolphin boat tour. Our 7 yr old grandson loved the Pac Man Arcade game. We had everything we needed for our 3 week stay. Thank you Brian & Tonya for our lovely, relaxing vacation.

Vacation Paradise!

Spectacular! Hands down the best VRBO we have ever rented. Such a charming, clean and comfy beach styled house. The owners did such a great job making us feel right at home. The interior of the home was amazing but the backyard was even better. From the pool to the tiki and all the backyard activities… I’m not sure you could find a better backyard to relax and play in. Not only was the house amazing but the location was perfect for anyone looking to be close to the beach, AMI, restaurants, grocery stores and so much more. We will definitely rent this again for our family getaway! 10/10!

Perfect Stay!

We booked a bit last minute and found this amazing gem. Our party included four adults and one child. This home has delightful decor and perfect spaces for everyone including an amazing backyard. It truly felt like our own little resort. The location is fantastic for fishermen, runners, and viewing wildlife (manatee-near the dock and boat launch about .5 miles away). We went to the beach a couple of times which was about six miles (Holmes Beach) and Siesta Key (further south). My son fished off the dock and boat launch. He caught a 27" snook at the boat launch. We also visited DeSoto National Memorial which is worth a visit. Thanks to the hosts for providing everything we needed to make memories!

Perfect vacation home with amazing back yard oasis

Our family had the best time over our spring break vacation at the blue bayou. From the time you pull into the driveway, you’re welcomed with that coastal vacation vibe that helps you relax. The house was perfectly clean, the decor was coastal/old Florida style (which I love!), the air conditioning system was strong, the reclining couches were very comfortable, the water pressure in the showers were strong, the beds were comfortable, the floors felt great on your feet, the door locks were nice and strong which made me feel more comfortable with our toddler, there were plenty of towels, the laundry was conveniently located in the garage, attached to the master bedroom, the turf and white rocks were so aesthetically pleasing to the eye, the tiki hut is the perfect place to relax, the Tommy Bahama outdoor dining ware was a thoughtful addition to vacationing, the pool/toys were perfect, there’s even a yellow cabinet full of family dvd’s, a PlayStation, board games, and a super fun building maze that my 3 children bonded over while building together. The unexpected highlight of our stay was definitely the awesome dock within walking distance that my son caught multiple catfish on. The manatees put on a show for us every time we visited! So fun! I really appreciated the beach chairs and tent for our beach days! The neighborhood was quiet and close enough to several beautiful beaches. We hope to return soon as we have special family in Bradenton nearby.
