Bradenton’s close proximity to Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key make it the perfect place to base a vacation to the Gulf islands while enjoying all the city has to offer. Check out Village of the Arts, a working artist community, and explore Downtown Bradenton with a stroll on the 1.5-mile, taking in the views of the Manatee River.
Go to Old Main Street and shop at the Bradenton Market, which offers fresh produce, lively music, and free family activities, and the Manatee Village Historical Park, where visitors can see historic buildings from Manatee County’s founding period of 1840 to 1918.
Looking for outdoor adventures you can fish from the Riverwalk pier, get on the nature trails at Robinson Preserve, take a kayak tour at De Soto National Memorial Park, and visit the area’s beaches.
Anna Maria Island, a seven-mile-long barrier island on Florida’s Gulf Coast west of Bradenton, is brimming with history, arts and culture, and its award-winning beaches draw visitors from near and far looking for a laid-back getaway.
See postcard-perfect Gulf sunsets, swim, snorkel, and dive the turquoise waters, look for shells and fossilized shark teeth, take a boat tour to spot dolphins, and enjoy some of the best waterfront dining in Florida.

Paul's oasis on Sanibel Island is an incredible gem. Located mid island it was a perfect location to explore all that Sanibel has to offer. We spent most of our time on bikes but also made a nice trip to Captiva to catch a sunset. Paul was super friendly and has curated a home away from home that will rival any campsite I've ever stayed in that didn't require a backpack and a couple of days of hiking to get there. The attention to detail in the space shows Paul and his wife's love for nature and plants and the years of hard work they have spent painting the picture perfect dreamscape for your next adventure.

We had a wonderful stay and truly couldn’t have asked for a better host. He was very helpful with suggestions that made our stay even better. Serenity Gardens is a hidden oasis—private, lush, and perfectly located near the beach. There’s a convenient dump station nearby at Periwinkle Campground for just $10, which made everything even easier. We loved Paul’s place and would absolutely stay again. 100% recommend.

We loved camping on Paul's land. It is a magical spot next to preserved land. It was quiet and private. The property is in a great location. It is a short distance to the beach, biking and hiking trails.

Loved the secluded sites, they are even secluded from each other. I camped alone but each site could easily hold six or more tents. I would love to come back when the river is higher and paddle from camp.

2 nights at Rasayana Cove
My son and I stayed at Ramayana Cove while we were in town hunting at Razzor Ranch, and it was exactly what we were hoping for. The cabin is rustic, but more than sufficient—clean, comfortable, and a great place to recharge after long days outdoors.
The property itself is beautiful. What really stood out were the nighttime bonfires and the sky. With no light pollution, the stars were incredible—clear, bright, and endless. Sitting by the fire under that kind of sky with my son made for some memorable conversations and a true reset from everyday life.
If you’re looking for something polished and luxury-driven, this isn’t that. But if you want peaceful, natural, and authentic Florida outdoors with a quiet, unplugged vibe, this place delivers.
We’d absolutely come back.

We stayed in the Hideaway campsite with our 23 foot sprinter van. We loved the privacy and being surrounded by nature. The walk to the bathroom/shower area is very nice. There’s gardens and a Koi pond and a little tiki bar and a cobblestone-like walkway with patios. I would call this a community area. The bathroom was always clean and the outdoor shower although I was hesitant, was actually very nice with plenty of hot water and good flow. We enjoyed our stay very much.
