With the motto of being the “Friendly City”, sunny Bradenton is located just south of Tampa and features cultural and natural attractions. Art enthusiasts should not miss out on visiting Village of the Arts, which is dotted with colorful cottages, art galleries, and studios. Palma Sola Botanical Park is a lush area where you can enjoy a picnic. Lake Manatee State Park is a scenic destination with beaches, marshes, and forests. Its name is a misnomer since there aren’t actually manatees there, but local wildlife such as armadillos, ospreys, and alligators call this place home. Swimming isn’t allowed here due to the crocodiles, but water lovers need not worry, because there are rentals with pools if they want to swim to their heart’s content. Choose from the best Airbnbs with pool in Bradenton, Florida, so you have a sure way of cooling off while in the city.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to pool.
