Vacation rentals with lake access in Bradenton

Just as pictured. Very cute, comfortable spot in Brandon. We were there for a sports tournament and it was very convenient.

Steve was very helpful and responsive. Although his kitchen had adequate cooking facilities, the lodge next door had marvelous food and killer bloody Mary’s too! Highly recommend both Steve as host and the proximity to the cafe.

My family of 4 enjoyed our stay! It was very clean with plenty of room to spread out. Both of my kids had their own room. And the backyard was a relaxing retreat.

Dolphin Cottage was remarkably clean and the decor was beautiful. It looks like the house had been completely renovated. Everything (carpets, bathrooms, furniture, etc) seemed brand new and tastefully done. The sheets smelled great! The location of the house was very convenient to all major stores, and loads of restaurants. It was a short drive to downtown Venice and beaches. The screened in porch was a perfect way to start the day with a cup of coffee, and end it with a glass of wine, enjoying the sunset and view of the pond and wildlife. I would highly recommend!

We went to Tampa for a business trip, but didn’t want to stay in a hotel. We chose this place because of the location on the water and the kayaks. We spent almost all of our time on the water and fishing. The house was located close to everything you would possibly need, but once you were out back you forgot you were close to the city! The hosts were super responsive anytime I messaged with questions. The house was very comfortable. AC was cold. Comfortable bed. We would definitely stay again!

Joey was outstanding when it came to any questions we had for the house, very responsive. House is exactly as described and the views are outstanding. Joey even had some extras for our arrival.

We had a great stay at Renay’s house. The house and location are beautiful! Right on the lake with an amazing view. We enjoyed the heated pool every day and like that it is screened in. The actual house was fantastic - we could tell Renay put a lot of thought and effort into making her house a comfortable place to stay. It is very family friendly with an open living space/kitchen and tons of books and toys in the kids room. The beds were more comfortable than most rental houses which we appreciated! Renay was super responsive before and during our stay, we had an issue with the oven while we were there and she had someone in to look at it within a few hours. She sets the standard for what it means to be a super host. Thanks for a great stay!

Fantastic place! Love that it’s on a dead end, right on the water and plenty of things to do in the area. Erik greeted us when we arrived, also we appreciate his flexibility at check in. He recommended a local butcher and we took advantage of the grill on our last evening. The place was just perfect for our pups with a fenced in yard to let them roam freely. I enjoyed coffee on the deck most mornings. We will be looking to book this place next year for our annual hockey tournament trip. Thanks again Erik! We will be in touch for next year!!

We loved our stay. Such a beautiful place. Loved the laid back feel of Nokomis vs Sarasota. Clean, lovely pool, great communication, spacious suite. We had a magical time!

John was a wonderful host! His arrival instructions were detailed and super helpful, and he responded to all of my questions immediately! The Airbnb was lovely, super clean, cute and exactly what we needed for the weekend (and the backyard area was the perfect place to sit near the water and relax!). If you’re looking for a peaceful space that is still super close to everything you might want to do in Tampa, I highly recommend booking a stay here! We will definitely book here again the next time we are visiting Tampa.

They were great hosts. Amazing even. They were super responsive and left everything clean. The only non positive thing I can think of was sometimes there were roaches or bugs that made their way inside, it made sense since we were right on the lake. She left cleaning supplies and multiple types of bug spray and checked in on us often. We’re coming back to stay long term.

To clarify, we were not the typical guest. We lived about 10 minutes from Lakewood National and knew the community very well. We had just sold our house and were moving out of the country. We needed about 10 days to tie up a lot of loose ends. Ray actuality showed us the condo before we rented it. Lakewood National is a great community and close to all of the Lakewood Ranch amenities. The unit overlooks a beautiful Par 3 green for all of you golfers. For us, it was a great stay and Ray made it stress free.

Thank you Hey Vacay! The space was beautiful, fit the needs for our wedding prep, and we all around had an AMAZING experience. The Hey Vacay team was also incredibly accommodating and communicative. Would highly recommend for anyone else looking for a beautiful spot in a gorgeous, quiet neighborhood that's very central and close to downtown. We had an absolutely PERFECT wedding week.

Our stay was great. The location and view was just what we had hoped for. Loved watching the birds and other wildlife in the canal. The dock was an excellent place to relax.

We really enjoyed our stay in Mark’s place. It’s a lovely setting by a small lake. Mark was very kind and accommodating. If we had any questions, he was quick to respond. The place suited our needs very well!

Like the other reviews have stated, the location was perfect! We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and Bridge St with shops and restaurants. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Mike and Wendy were excellent hosts.

Great location and wonderful place. Super responsive host. I'd love to go back

Great location, beautiful sunrise, great fishing! My daughter cast out and within five minutes, caught a bass!!

This was our second stay at this cottage and we are already looking forward to booking again! My husband and I appreciate the attention to detail with every aspect of our stay. Kristen is a fantastic host. We didn’t have to bother her during our stay because the cottage is stocked with everything we needed. Another awesome stay.

This was our second year of spending a month at Aileen's place. Again, it was so perfect for my husband and I. We did have guests stay for a couple of nights and the air mattress is REALLY nice! Everything about the space is so wonderful. Clean, cute, everything you would need for a month. It is also close to so many beaches (Fort Desoto Park ( our favorite), St. Pete's beach, and Anna Maria Island beaches. It's close to all that Bradenton, St. Petersburg and Sarasota have to offer. We felt right at home the day we arrived and it was hard to say good-bye. We definitely hope to visit again!

Clean, comfortable unit. Kitchen was well stocked. Bathroom had a generous supply of plush towels. Danil and David were great to work with. I would return again.

We enjoyed our stay and the dogs loved the fenced yard and the friendly hoses. Very peaceful and relaxing setting. Host left us some fresh eggs and we had everything we needed for a great stay.

Wonderful location and wonderful hospitality.

This was the best Airbnb we have stayed at!!!! We travel alot for basketball and this was a favorite for all 9 of us. The house felt so cozy and decor was amazing. Krista was so generous and flexible with the check in/out times and process. The outside was so relaxing and peaceful, along with so much to do. We will be back!!!
