Perfect location and home for our short stay. Easy access to St. Petersburg and Tampa. The immediate area and the restaurants/shops in Bradenton were diverse and delicious. The house is lovely and the pool is fantastic. The pool is easy to access with warm water, beautiful surroundings and endless fun.

Peaceful Sanctuary

Very peaceful and cozy retreat. We were in town for a martial arts seminar for my son. The house was a welcome break. My wife loved the decor. Our only regret was we weren't able to spend more time there.

Amazing cottage near the beach!

We loved our stay very very much!!! This cottage has everything you need for a memorable stay! The home has a beachy vacation feel to it for sure. The hosts were wonderful, they responded to our messages quickly with any questions we had. We had such a great time that we extended our stay 1 extra night. We will definitely be back to this vacation home 😊

Nice property.

Really enjoyed our 2 day stay. If I can make a few comments...bbq grill caught fire (!) and needs to be cleaned. As a homeowner myself, I would recommend cleaning the debris off the roofs-especially the pool house. I would definitely stay there again.

Awesome place and property owner Steve

Everything was wonderful; Steve was super responsive to my questions and truly cares about people staying at there place. The pool was super clean and just the right temperature for day or night swimming. The small house was super as I am a grandpa and was treating my daughter family; in the evening when I got tired I had a great place to go and relax. Thank’s Steve for sharing your great place.

Clean and comfortable

Property is nicely renovated. Beds in main house are very comfortable. Small, heated pool was perfect for relaxing after the beach. Location on corner got busy sometimes but it's very convenient to Palmetto attractions and much of Bradenton. It was fun to sit on the front porch at night. We would stay here again.

Quaint House with She-Shed

This was the perfect little house for our summer Vaca near Anna Marie Island. My teen daughter loved the pool "She-Shed." We appreciated that it was super clean and homey. The pool was amazing for the times we were not at the beach. Loved having a washer and dryer to wash beach towels and suits. My daughter loved the refrigerator and wanted to bring it home... 😂. We loved the house and would definitely consider staying here again! Thanks!

Lovely Historial Cottage in the heart of old Palmetto

Private cottage with pool. Nicely appointed, quiet and clean. Small, but did well with 3 adults. Would stay again for sure. Easy to reach the owner if you have questions. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!
