Weekly and Monthly Discounts available! Discount automatically applies :).

Welcome to The Bamboo Cottage! A peaceful and private 1940's Old Florida farmhouse tucked away in Englewood's Historical District. Centrally located within walking distance to Dearborn Street & Lemon Bay, and mere miles to the beautiful beaches of Manasota Key!

The Bamboo Cottage is centrally located to many of Englewood's hot spots. We are just a few blocks North of Dearborn St (about a 7-minute walk), a short stroll over to Lemon Bay (Veterans Memorial Pavilion for sunsets!) and 4 miles to Englewood Beach and the other incredible beaches on Manasota Key (8-10 minute drive). We are also less than 1 mile away from the public boat launch.

Vintage & cozy with modern upgrades for a comfortable and unique experience. Fast wifi, 3 TV's, luxurious memory-foam beds, huge yard and outdoor patio space, and plenty of parking for vehicles and a boat trailer if you're here for the world-class fishing ;).

The home is a cozy farmhouse from 1948. Although the home is old, we have taken great care to provide modern and comfortable updates.

There are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (1 of the bathrooms is ensuite to the King bedroom). Each bed has a comfortable, thick, memory foam mattress with luxury, hotel-style bedding. We also use mattress and pillow protectors that are allergy friendly. Our hotel-standard linens and towels are professionally laundered off-site with sensitive, fragrance-free detergent. The King bedroom also includes a separate room with a desk for working and a door to a separate corner of the outdoor patio. Perfect to greet the morning sun on the Adirondack chairs with your coffee :).

The home comfortably sleeps 4. We have a Queen air mattress, should you need it. We charge extra for up to 2 additional people. We do not allow more than 6 people total.

There are 3 TV's in the home, 1 in each bedroom and 1 in the living room. All are Smart TV's. We do provide Netflix for our guests, and some additional free streaming services are available. There are also games and books located under the TV.

Each bathroom has a small hair dryer.

The kitchen is fully equipped with high-quality pots, pans, silverware, knives, dishes, cooking oil, and salt & pepper to comfortably cook a family meal. We even have a Crockpot!

There is a deep stainless farmhouse sink, dishwasher, electric cooktop, oven, and a brand-new stainless fridge with filtered water and icemaker. We also have a RO water system at the sink. We provide 1 new sponge, dish soap, and dishwasher pods.

For our coffee lovers, we have a Ninja drip pot, a Keurig single cup (we have reusable K-pods in case you only brought ground coffee), and a French press. Many options for your morning cup.

There is a washer and dryer in the house should you need to use it. There are also extra beach towels in the laundry room in case you forgot yours!

The shed has 4 fold-up beach chairs and a sand-sifting tool for your shark tooth hunting adventures.

There is a gas grill outside, propane tank included. If the tank is getting low, please let us know so that we can ensure you’re all set for your grilling needs.
