Historic Beachfront Bungalows

Bungalow Beach Resort features 15 restored 1930s-style cedar bungalows on Bradenton Beach, directly facing the Gulf of Mexico. Each bungalow includes hardwood floors, private entrances, and kitchenettes. Some units, like Sandpiper #201 and White Pelican #301, offer Gulf views, full kitchens, and washer/dryers. Expect weathered decks and sliding glass doors due to the beachfront location.

Tropical Grounds & Pools

The resort's gated grounds include 30 types of exotic palms, a 10x24 heated pool with a waterfall, and a cabana area. Guests staying in the Island Pool Home have access to a private heated pool. Two charcoal grills are available in the courtyard, and lounge chairs with umbrellas are provided on the beach.

Nearby Attractions & Dining

The resort is 1 mile from Bridge Street's shops and restaurants, including Smoqehoues Craft Sandwiches and Gulf Dr Cafe. Mote Marine Aquarium, Ringling Museum, and St. Armands Circle are within a 30-minute drive. Walt Disney World and Busch Gardens are two hours away by car.

Island Activities & Transport

Anna Maria Island has three piers, 70 restaurants, and free trolleys running until 10 PM. Activities include parasailing, dolphin tours, and fishing charters. The resort is 25 km from Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. No fast-food chains are on the island.

Services & Accessibility

The resort offers ADA-accessible features like shower chairs and raised toilet seats. Check-in starts at 3 PM, and check-out is by 11 AM. Smoking is permitted only on exterior patios. The front desk provides oversized chess sets for guest use.

“This Bradenton Beach bungalow setup offers an appealing mix of beachfront access and self-sufficient stays, suited to both couples seeking a getaway and small groups. I noted the practical layouts, complete with appliances and utensils, enhancing the independence of the experience, plus the added convenience of beach amenities and a prime location for exploring the surrounding area.”
