The expanded selection comes as the Bradenton area continues to draw steady visitor interest. According to a visitor tracking report presented at an August 2026 Manatee County Tourist Development Council meeting, nearly 962,500 visitors came to the Bradenton area between April and June 2026, generating approximately $686.3 million in direct spending. The report also found that 91% of surveyed visitors went to the beach during their stay.
Located on the southern end of Anna Maria Island, Bradenton Beach is known for its white-sand beaches, Gulf waters, and relaxed Old Florida atmosphere. Visitors can spend time at Coquina Beach, explore the historic Bridge Street district, browse local shops, or enjoy waterfront dining. The free Anna Maria Island trolley connects the island’s beach communities, offering another way to explore without a car during a winter visit.
“Whether travelers are planning a romantic escape, a family beach vacation, or a longer island stay, Bradenton Beach offers a setting and rental options to suit different travel plans,” an ECBYO spokesperson said.
The rental selection also includes pet-friendly options for travelers bringing their dogs, although policies and additional charges vary by property. As ECBYO explains, guests can communicate directly with property owners to discuss pet allowances, clarify rental requirements, and confirm whether a property meets their needs before booking.
ECBYO’s direct-booking model also removes guest service fees charged by many third-party platforms. According to the company, travelers can save $300 to $600 or more per stay by booking directly with property owners. By eliminating these additional charges, guests can keep more of their vacation budget for dining, local attractions, and other activities during their stay.
Founded in 2016, ECBYO lists more than 10,000 vacation properties across Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, giving travelers access to rental options in multiple Gulf Coast destinations.
