Guestbook comments from the manager
We are pleased to reflect on our experience at the “Key West Fantasy” cottage in Bradenton Beach.
This past winter was our third consecutive three month stay at the cottage (January, February and March). We love the place! The location is ideal, in the center of the island with easy access to all three bridges to the mainland and only a very short walk to either the Gulf or Palma Sola Bay both of which are visible from the cottage. We feel very safe and secure in a neighborhood that is a nice mix of full time residents and several rental properties. Over the years we have become acquainted with many of the very friendly neighbors, so our annual visits feel much like “coming home”.
The cottage itself is quaint, cozy, clean and comfortable. The remodeling was tastefully done and blends well with the original design of the building. The kitchen has all the amenities, new appliances and a delightful corner dining area that is bright and airy from the many windows. The bathrooms have also been remodeled and are clean and well maintained. The convenience of an on site washer and dryer cannot be omitted.
The newly completed pool, deck and landscaping were a welcome surprise and are particularly useful and inviting. We appreciate the utility of the carport. The television cable and telephone service are also an added benefit. My wife in particular loves the free unlimited long distance telephone benefit since she can keep in touch with her 90 year old mother, sisters and granddaughter at home in Pennsylvania as well as transmitting her medical data to her heart doctors.
We plan to continue our annual visits to the cottage for as long as our health and other conditions permit. We fondly anticipate our return to Florida in January. It is truly our “home away from home”!

Loved the pool, proximity to the beach, and overall location!!!
We booked this cute little house for a family vacation with our 2 daughters that was 17 years or so in the making . We were joined by our soon to be 5 year old grandson. We were there to make memories and relax and this house helped us to accomplish that goal. For the money we were more than pleased with the house. The beach was just minutes away and we loved the pool and the privacy it offered. We met Andy, the property manager and he was great!! He lives next door and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. He recommended great restaurants right down the road close enough to walk if that is what you like to do.
Quaint, convenient, great!
Great location! Easy to walk to restaurants and beach. Plenty of room. Really nice to be in a house instead of a hotel. I will look to stay here again. Property manager mentioned it is scheduled to upgrade furniture to new.
Amazing!!!!
Love love love this little bungalow. 3 minute walk to the beach (from front door to water). Very quiet neighborhood. Incredible pool. Lots to do and see on the island. Well equipped kitchen. Plenty of towels. Management was awesome. Even mailed me items I forgetfully left behind. Oh, and let's not forget the most beautiful water and sand! Lovely! Will definitely be back!
Home away from home
Another for the Fourth of July at AMI and had a wonderful time here. The house has everything one might need. Well supplied kitchen but could use a crockpot I love to cook, very nice pool area in yard, good size car port for the boat, good size bedrooms. All together family had a very nice time here with friend that we're staying down from us came to eat dinner together. Only thing I would have to say is the half bathroom is very cramp but made it work.
Cute house a walk from everything you want
House was cute with everything that you need to enjoy. Pool is nice, and you can walk to the Ocean. We loved that we could bring our dog. The back room near the laundry is a little odd but has its own window AC unit so stays really cold. Kitchen has all necessary appliances and things to cook with. Other two rooms are cute. There is a little library for the book worm who forgot his/her book for the beach. We did have an instance where we were cooking breakfast and the breaker for the kitchen cut off. Was a quick fix, just had to turn it back on from the breaker box outside. The neighbor over sees the property and was extremely helpful and friendly. Overall would come again.
Great home base for a family visit to AMI!
This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a cozy home base between trips to the beach! Great access to the best beaches on AMI, a short walk to a variety of restaurants and a quick drive to an excellent Publix supermarket, the Mote Aquarium and more. Perfect for a family with young children. We loved the pool and the grill in the backyard. The property manager lives next door and is responsive to any needs that may arise. I also appreciated that the check-out process is very easy - you do not have a long list of chores to do before leaving.
A couple things to note: (1) This may not be the place for you if you are looking for the most updated, modern amenities. But we loved the "lived in" feel because it made us feel right at home. (2) Those with back problems may have trouble with the mattress in the master bedroom - it is pretty soft. However, there is another full-size bed as well as two singles that are more firm.
We were very happy with our stay and would definitely return!
