About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Heated pool • Game room • Across from IMG Academy
Stay directly across from IMG Academy in a spacious Bradenton retreat made for tournament trips, family vacations and Florida getaways. Unwind in the private pool, challenge the crew in the game room, gather around the fire pit or BBQ after a day at IMG or the beach. With 4 bedrooms, room for 10, a fully fenced backyard and SRQ Airport just minutes away, everything you need for an easy Florida stay is right here
Whether you're here for a tournament, a showcase, a recruiting visit, or a Gulf Coast family vacation, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home gives your group the space, comfort, and amenities to make the trip unforgettable.
🏟️ For IMG Academy families & teams
IMG Academy hosts 30+ sports events annually — tennis, soccer, baseball, football, basketball, golf, and more — drawing families and teams from across the country. When your athlete is competing, you want to be close, comfortable, and not paying hotel rates for a group of 8–10.
This home puts you steps from the facility, with: • Free on-site parking for multiple vehicles • Fully equipped kitchen for team meals and early morning prep • Game room to unwind after competition • Heated pool for recovery and relaxation • Washer and dryer for longer tournament stays
We've hosted lacrosse families, tennis parents, soccer teams, and recruiting groups — and we understand what tournament travel looks like. Book early: IMG event weekends fill 3–6 months in advance.
🏊 The outdoor space
The private heated pool is the centerpiece — guests swim morning, noon, and night. String lights, a BBQ grill, and fire pit make evenings outside the best part of the day. Fully fenced for privacy and pet safety.
🎮 Game room
Pac-Man full-size arcade, pool table, foosball, and board games. This space gets used every single stay — rainy afternoons, post-competition downtime, late evenings when everyone's too tired to go out but not tired enough to sleep.
🛏️ Sleeping arrangements
• 2 King suites — each with private or en-suite bath • 2 Queen bedrooms • Bunk bed with trundle — great for kids or additional guests • Sleeps up to 10 comfortably
🍳 Kitchen & dining
Fully equipped for real cooking — stainless appliances, ample counter space, full cookware set. Everything you need for team breakfasts, family dinners, or meal prep between games. Large dining table fits the whole group.
🏖️ Beach days — everything included
The Gulf Coast's best beaches are a short drive away — Coquina Beach (5 mi), Cortez Beach (6 mi), Manatee Public Beach (8 mi), and Anna Maria Island (7 mi). We provide beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and beach towels so you can go straight from the car to the sand — no hauling gear from home.
🐾 Pet friendly
Your dogs are welcome. The partially fenced backyard gives them room to roam safely.
📍 Location
• IMG Academy: across the street • Coquina Beach: 5 mi • Anna Maria Island: 7 mi • SRQ Airport: 5 mi — easy for families flying in • Sarasota & Bradenton dining, shopping, attractions: 10–15 min • Robinson Preserve (kayak & hiking): 8 mi

Host was quick to answer any questions Had a bad microwave but they got a new one put in by end of day The grandkids enjoyed the well heated pool and the game roomThanks for a great stay
I am going to start with the positives.The beds and pillows were nice and comfortable. There was plenty of space for our family. The pool was spacious and clean. There were plenty of towels for our large family and plenty of toys for the beach.Given the price we paid compared to previous vacations in Florida, it was way overpriced for what we got and what we dealt with.First, one side of the house was humid because the A/C was not cooling when we arrived. We immediately let them know. After 2 days, it was at least 78 degrees on that side of the house in the evening. We were out of the home during the day and could not cook because the house was unbearably hot. By day 4, it was 77-80 degrees when a technician finally came. Due to a programming issue, it was 82 degrees our last night there. We were promised a gift card of some kind due to the inconvenience. They never followed through on the gift card.The rug under the dining table clearly needs to be changed out as multiple people tripped over the rug.The shuffle board table is not level so that couldn’t be enjoyed. The garage did not have AC so it was impossible to enjoy those amenities without sweating, which was the main reason we chose this location over others. We were hoping to let the kids enjoy them in the evening when we got home. The owners should have disclosed the lack of AC in the listing. I could list several more items about the house, but I will stop at the things I feel others should know.
