The short version
Stay near Gulf Coast, with the trip details up front
Three Seascape homes sleep 12 across 4 bedrooms - each in a different location and with a different setup, so the right pick depends on where you want to be.
Sleeping 12 in a single home narrows the options fast. Hotels scatter a group across rooms on different floors; most vacation condos cap at 6-8. The three Seascape homes that hold 12 each have 4 bedrooms and 3+ bathrooms, and they cover two markets: Bradenton (near Anna Maria Island) and downtown Sarasota.
Dockside Dreams (Bradenton) is the waterfront option - private dock, pool, hot tub, and arcade. Bradenton Beach is 2.9 miles away. River House (Bradenton) is a minute from a public boat ramp on the Manatee River, with a pool, hot tub, and game room; AMI beaches are about 15 minutes away. Sarasota Luxe (downtown Sarasota) trades beach proximity for walkable access to Sarasota restaurants, galleries, and the Bayfront - with a pool, hot tub, and screened lanai. Lido Beach is about 3 miles, 10 minutes.
The choice between Bradenton and Sarasota is mostly about how you'll spend your time. Beach-heavy trip: the Bradenton homes are the base. Mix of beach days and city dinners: Sarasota Luxe fits better. Rates split among 12 guests bring per-person cost well below hotel alternatives, with none of the shared-hallway tradeoffs.
