Tradewinds Beach Resort

Perfect little cottage resort in Bradenton Beach for a great vacation! The property is small but very clean and comfortable with everything you need. The beach is directly across the street and chairs, beach towels umbrellas are available. There is a pool bayside. Several restaurants are within walking distance. Be sure to try Smoqhouse right next store for excellent BBQ. We very much enjoyed our stay!

It makes you feel like you don’t want to leave

It was very quiet and beautiful place to vacation.

Close proximity to beach and restaurants.

The cottages were adorable, and the location for us was great. A short walk to the beach (right across the street) and the bay right in the back yard of the property. Pool was nice, wish they would trim back some of the bushes (not mangroves of course) so that you could view the bay from the pool. The cottage has everything you need but they should upgrade the pillows, our necks were cramped from the ones they have. The couch is also not very comfortable to sit on and that’s the only area with a TV so you have to sit there for that. Property was clean, quiet and pretty. Beach is stunning. Location is close to bridge st with shopping and live music, bars etc. We rented bikes to travel the island because traffic is an issue but riding bikes was convenient and fun. I would stay here again (I’ll just bring my own pillow).

Friendly staff. Diane was very helpful.

Only good things to say about the Tradewinds. We have stayed at the Tortuga twice and loved it. Tradewinds was equally as awesome. Loved the pool location, communication was great by staff.

Bed was too soft. Shower was too hard. Same as last time. Still an excellent stay! Thank you!

If you like to be close to the beach and have a pool that’s open late, this is the perfect place to stay. There’s a stunning sunrise over the lake in the morning and a beautiful beach at the other side of the road. It won’t take you more than a couple of minutes to walk over. If you’re into excellent food, you have to go to town or further south, and the road gets pretty busy in the weekends. So it took us an hour to go to town on a Friday because of traffic. But if being close to the beach is your priority, this is a perfect place. The hotel is so nice and quiet, and especially with kids it’s so practical to have a kitchen with everything you need. We also took the shuttle up North to go on a Dolphin trip and the shuttle is great. It’s free and the kids loved it. Very easy. Only disappointment was the bed it was so worn, that I woke up with a sore back and neck every morning. The mattress is terrible, it really needs a change. The room was nice and clean, did have a damp smell to it, like a cottage in the woods can smell when left alone for a while - might be the air conditioning, it was on when we arrived, but I didn’t use during our stay, and it did get better. Super nice and quiet in the evening and friendly and helpful staff. But that mattress really needs a change - I regret not saying anything while staying there. Number 12. If you really want a good sunrise spot, choose the rooms right by the sea. I would do so next time.

Highly recommend this property.
