Description Your Patch of Paradise: Bradenton

Generally reserved for golfing enthusiasts and beach lovers, this Florida home caters to both, but not without its own charm. A little paradise with a 'beach' for a backyard, volleyball and pickleball courts, a private swimming pool with fountains, ping pong and table football, and more, boredom is unlikely. With the bedrooms split between the main home and pool house, this is the perfect option for a big family getaway, and if you're worried about getting in each other's way, there are two living rooms and kitchens to give everyone room. Besides, you can spread out on the ample outdoor seating or claim the entirety of Bean Point Beach, only a short drive away.
