About this home
Welcome to Runaway Bay an island-style waterfront community in Bradenton Beach offering the ideal combination of coastal living and income potential, with weekly rentals permitted. This beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath ground-level condo showcases breathtaking open water views across Anna Maria Sound and Palma Sola Bay. Step inside to discover a stunning, fully remodeled coastal kitchen that has been thoughtfully opened to the living and dining areas creating a bright, airy space perfect for entertaining while maximizing the spectacular bay views. Natural light pours in, drawing your attention straight to the water. The spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, where you can wake each morning to unforgettable sunrises over the bay. A generous walk-in closet and a beautifully renovated ensuite bath add to the comfort and functionality. The guest bedroom is equally inviting and conveniently located next to the updated guest bathroom. Start your day with coffee on the private lanai as the sun rises, and spend your evenings watching dolphins play and enjoying the tranquil coastal surroundings. This condo has been extensively updated, including the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, trim, doors, appliances, water heater, A/C system, and furnishings making it truly move-in or rental ready. Runaway Bay has also undergone community-wide improvements, including new roofs and gutters, and offers an impressive lineup of resort-style amenities: deeded beach access, a newly constructed oversized bayfront observation and fishing pier, the largest heated pool on Anna Maria Island (recently renovated), resurfaced pickleball and tennis courts, shuffleboard, a kayak launch, multiple grilling stations, and a clubhouse with a fitness center currently being refreshed. Whether you’re seeking a personal island escape or a high-performing investment property, this condo delivers with strong rental history and bookings already secured.
