About this home
1004 68TH STREET NW
A tropical oasis in Northwest Bradenton, just around the corner from famous Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach and only 2.5 miles to the sandy shores of dog-friendly Palma Sola Causeway. Welcome to Serenity by the Sea, an active and successful three-bedroom, two-bath, 1,532-square-foot short-term rental property. Between the beautiful upgrades both inside and out and the perfect location, it's no wonder this home has been generating rental income since 2021. The owners have recently completed several large upgrades to the property for peace of mind as well as long-term value. Some notable improvements include brand new luxury vinyl flooring throughout the entire interior (2026), upgraded blown-in attic insulation (2026), a new roof (2024), a new HVAC (2024), a new electrical panel (2025), a new pool heater and pump (2024), a newly installed irrigation system (2025), the addition of gutters around the entire home (2024) and a new vinyl privacy fence (2024). No need to worry about resurfacing the pool either, as it has already been resurfaced with Pebble Tech. Upon entering the home, you're greeted with a bright, coastal-inspired interior, professionally furnished and styled to create a relaxing, vacation-ready atmosphere. Down the hallway is a well-appointed large storage closet, hidden by two stylish sliding barn doors just before arriving at the guest bath, which features new vinyl flooring and a large shower/tub combination. At the end of the hallway are two nicely sized bedrooms positioned on the opposite side of the primary suite. The primary bedroom has a peaceful view directly overlooking the pool and lush landscaping outside, as well as a beautifully updated coastal-inspired en-suite bath. Through the kitchen and oversized Florida room, the perfect piece of tropical paradise awaits you. The backyard is truly a serene private Florida oasis, featuring beautiful towering palm trees and lush landscaping, a resort-style heated swimming pool with several lounge chairs, a dining area and even your own private outdoor shower! Adding to the appeal of the outdoor living space is not only an additional fenced-in yard but also a large custom-built, concrete-reinforced, bamboo tiki bar. The ideal place to get together with friends or family to have some refreshing drinks while enjoying some sun or even a beautiful famous Florida sunset right from your backyard. Just minutes from some of Florida's best beaches, shopping, waterfront dining, beachfront horseback riding, historical downtown Bradenton and several world-class hospitals, this home has it all.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.

The edgeAI estimate is a starting point, not an appraisal or a broker price opinion. It is generated from public records, listing data and market modeling, and is subject to change once a licensed real estate professional personally inspects the property. Condition, floor, view and lot are not fully captured by any model — ask us for a full comparative market analysis.
