Best Beach Getaways South | Bradenton Beach Rentals

My vacation with my mom at LaCosta condominiums on Bradenton Beach was absolutely amazing. We rented unit 109 and it was so beautiful, comfortable, clean, and and fully stocked with everything that we needed for a perfect vacation for the week. The view from the lanai was absolutely amazing. The sunset dropped right in front of us, and it was gorgeous every single night. The walk to the beach, was less than 100 feet and the pool was clean and warm. I couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing vacation. We made friends. We had a lot of laughs and we met Bethany who was in the office who was very accommodating to anything that we needed. I will definitely rent here again. Can’t wait to come back.

We had a great time in this condo. The management team was very nice and helpful for anything we needed. Our 1 yr old grandson needed a pack and play or crib and they brought it right over to the condo. This area of Florida is amazing. We were so close to the beach it was just steps away. The swimming pool was heated which we enjoyed a lot. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Best Beach Getaways in the future. It’s hard to find good customer service but these folks were exceptional.

The #210 unit at Runaway Bay was a fantastic condo. It was a very easy walk to the beach directly across the street from the condo with a cross walk. The condo had two very good beach chairs and a sturdy beach umbrella. There where other beach accessories; noodles, rafts, a wagon and such. The pool was never crowded and beautiful. The pictures of the condo are very accurate. Anna Maria island is the best! Amazing sunsets.

My wife and I stayed in unit 187. We loved it. First we were impressed with the overall condition and management of Runaway Bay. Well maintained, quiet, good location. The nearby pier just outside our patio was a real bonus. We spent much time there for sunrises, sunsets, and wildlife viewing. The condo was beautiful, large, well decorated and furnished. It was very clean and in excellent condition. The pool towels and equipment in the storage shed were very much appreciated. We didn't use the beach or pool very much, but they were available and convenient. We would consider another stay in 187 and Runaway Bay. Once last comment, the sink in the master bath drained slowly. It should be cleaned out. Otherwise no maintenance issues.

We had a very pleasant two-week stay in this spacious two bedroom apartment in a quite area on Longboat Key. We especially enjoyed the great view onto the bay and our location only steps away from the pool. The apartment is nicely furnished with comfortable chairs and a king-size bed. The kitchen likewise was well-equipped with appliances and equipment allowing us to have many of our meals in the apartment.

We visit this area frequently and have stayed at many units at Runaway Bay. This unit was super updated and very clean. The cookware was even nice to cook on. The pool is big and plenty of seating available. We love playing pickle ball and the tennis court is marked for playing. Would come back again!

Lovely visit on Longboat Key's Harbour Villa Club. Despite low temps and a pool out of commission, both of which would normally put us in a funk, we found many charms about this area. Very quiet. Very beautiful. Super beaches, complete with outstanding sunsets. Good places to fish, complete with anhinga, herons and egrets to help with the catch. Wonderful restaurants, on and off the water. Manitee and dolphin, white pelicans and woodpeckers. Durante park nearby for a nature walk. Mote Aquarium. A beautiful condo, on the bay, fronted by huge boats, outstanding grounds to walk, and a pair of bald eagles overlooking it all right by our lanai. Can't wait to return.

Love the beaches for over 30 years, the location at Bradenton Beach is one of the safest areas I've stayed. It is something special to our vacation spots. Your stay will only make you come back, you will have the best time of your life. Take a walk on the best beaches in Florida, Sun sets that pictures can't describe, it is a great place to stay. Relax and have fun, I look forward every year to come to Bradenton, Fla. Stay at Beach Getaway on your next vacation.

This year we stayed in this apartment for the seventh or eighth time. It was the first time with the new administration, but everything went smoothly. We will most likely choose the Gulf View apartment as our accommodation next year too!

Bethany at LaCosta is an absolute pleasure to work with and works to make sure guests are pleased and comfortable in their units. Super helpful, super friendly and look forward to visiting again!

Great place with a great view. The place is right on the beach with beautiful sunsets every night. Great location and close to the Bridge Street area where we went to eat almost every night. This is a fun area. Nice condo with good beds and very nice appliances. Pool was heated and the hot tub was hot and both were well maintained. Only small issues was the dryer did not dry our clothes and I think it just needs the vent cleaned. Also the refrigerator was very nice and new but the ice maker did not work. Overall a great trip and we would stay here again.

Runaway Bay, Condo 215. 07/23/2023 - 08/04/2023
It was my first experience with Best Beach Getaways and I was a little bit nervous due to some negative reviews. Well...I stressed myself out for no reason. We arrived to Anna Maria Island around 11 am due to early flight. I called management just to make sure it was ok to park our car and use a pool prior to check in, which is 4 pm, because it was very hot. Not only Amanda said we are welcome to use it, but in less then 15 min I got email stating our rental was ready. That was a pleasant surprise. Later I had some questions and I got responses without delay. The unit was as described. Actually I think it was much better then pictured. It had everything you might need during your vacation. The beach is a minute away and the area is nice and quiet. We used gym a couple of times. It was small but had all needed equipment and weights.
My only suggestion would be to add more towels, depending on length of stay, since this unit does not have washer and dryer. Though there is a laundry room onsite, the last thing i wanted to do was going outside to do my laundry at 93-94F.
I would recommend this place and the company. I am definitely considering this spot for next year.

We stayed at RunAway Bay. It was the best place 154. The pool was great! Kitchen well supplied! Activities were good. We were close to beach and trolley stop

Super recommended company. Totally reliable. The apartment is excellent, the Runaway Bay facilities are very good. I hope to come back soon.

Our vacation rental on Longboat Key at Harbor Villa Club (unit 314) was everything we could wish for and more! From the beautifully styled and equipped condo to the waterfront view to the boat slips on property, we were so happy! Thank you for a beautiful stay!

Great apartment, just as the photos showed. Very clean, close to the beach and restaurants and a great pool.
We’ll be back

Condo 206 is updated and comfortable with awesome sun rises from the balcony. Carpet in the bedroom could use some cleaning. Overall we would stay in this condo again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harbour Villas! It was our second time staying there. It is well kept and the pool area is so nice. It had everything we needed for the week.

We had a delightful stay at Harbor Villa Club. Our rental was sparkling clean and so well equipped. The kitchen was a standout, it had everything needed for preparing meals. I especially appreciated the induction cooktop range, a breeze to cook on. Outside the pool and spa were lovely. We will return!

We have booked with Best Beach Getaways five or six times. Their customer service is excellent. The properties are well maintained. Our most recent visit was at LaCosta in unit 201. it had recently been renovated, and the grounds are well-kept. Highly recommend them. They offer discounts to their previous customers and make sure your vacation stay is everything you hoped for.
