Harbor Hills House | Blue Bayou - Charming home with heated pool, tiki and OPTIONAL BOAT DOCKAGE

3 Bedroom House in Harbor Hills, Bradenton

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.

Summary: We had a fantastic stay at this property. The home was clean, well-stocked, and exactly as described. Its location offered convenient access to beaches, parks, and restaurants. Communication with the managers was friendly and prompt.

Aaron M. Apr 28, 2025 01:25:15 AM

Summary: The wife and I had an amazing stay at this beautiful property. The pool and amenities were abundant and awesome. Communication was top notch. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the beaches here in the South Tampa Bay Area.

Summary: 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.

Summary: My family was looking for a relaxing Spring Break and Blue Bayou checked that off of the list. As soon as I saw pictures of the backyard, I knew this would be the house that we would book. It did not disappoint. We lived outside for the entire week. Swimming, watching the wrap up of the regular Hockey season under the Tiki Hut, playing cornhole. Repeat. The house was even better than the pictures. Clean and spacious. Quiet neighborhood. Private backyard. We were 2 adults and a 10 year old. There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags provided for our sized group. We also liked that there was shampoo and body wash available, as well. I was also thankful there was a blow-dryer, as I didn't have to pack mine! There was a washer and dryer and detergent tablets provided, but we did not use them this trip.We ordered groceries from Publix for pick up on the way to check in, which worked out great, as Publix was pretty close. There was salt and pepper at the house, but if you need anything else for seasonings, you'll want to pick those up yourself. However, the kitchen is fully stocked otherwise. Any pot, pan or dish that you could need! 10/10, will definitely come back and stay here, when in the area. We were sad to leave! P.S. If you are looking for a good take out spot for a meal, go to Stone Bowl Pan Asian, which is a short 5 minute drive from the house. We loved our meals from there, so tasty and flavorful!

Summary: We were bouncing around Florida so we only had a 2 day stay. We wish we could’ve stayed longer. This house worked out perfect for the whole family. Great location for beaches and such a fun outdoor area for the whole family. We particularly loved sitting outside and watching March Madness. The hosts have thought of everything! We will be back!

Lauren V. Apr 6, 2025 11:45:09 PM

Summary: 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!

Selah L. Apr 3, 2025 09:43:04 PM

Summary: The backyard felt like a private oasis - loved the pool and the shaded area of the yard. Kids loved running in the yard too. House was comfortable. Drive to island varied from 20min- 1 hr depending on what time of day you left.

Cynthia B. Mar 24, 2025 07:38:23 PM

Summary: Absolutely loved our stay. Favorite part: Back Yard. It's like your own little private paradise. Thank you for allowing us to stay!!

Nancy S. Mar 23, 2025 06:16:53 AM

Summary: 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.

Justin R. Mar 22, 2025 07:26:55 PM

Summary: What a beautiful and charming home with a paradisal backyard! Spacious 3bd, 2.5ba home that features a great kitchen and awesome screened in porch for dining. The half bath is located in the screened in, which is ideal for a quick bathroom break from the pool. Great outdoor shower as well. The home is located a short 100 yard walk to a boat/fishing dock (my son and I used that and caught some fish). The home is also located close to a Publix and Target (that was nice). You can make it to any section of the famously beautiful Anna Maria Island in less than 15min (you do have to time it right, based on beach traffic, but that’s the same in any beach town). OK, back to some house features…the backyard is a large, artificially turfed space, that features a great little pool and spa (which can be heated), and an outdoor covered tiki hut lounge area featuring an outdoor couch and large tv (my 8yr old son and I loved watching the kickoff to March madness out there). He also loves playing football and the turfed backyard was great for that. All in all, this property was a huge success for our family of 4. Grandparents came and stayed for a day and 1 night as well, and we had plenty of space to accommodate them. I’d highly recommend that you consider Brian and Tonya’s VRBO if you’re looking for a great property while vacationing to the Anna Maria Island location!
