3BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · Dog-Friendly · Fenced Yard · Across from Gulf · 1 Block to Bridge Street · Screened Porch · Fire Pit · Outdoor Shower · Gas Grill · Quartz Kitchen · Rain Showers
Across the street from the Gulf, one block from Bridge Street, and the yard is fenced for your dog. Anna's Cottage is the rare Bradenton Beach find that puts you in the middle of everything without making you feel like it.
A Bradenton Beach vacation rental tucked behind a charming white fence and shaded by swaying palms, this bright teal home blends the soul of Old Florida with completely renovated modern comforts.
Step inside to find an open, light-filled living area with white shiplap walls and ceiling. The kitchen has been transformed with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar with seating for four — ideal for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. All three bedrooms feature queen beds dressed in fresh white linens, ceiling fans, and wall-mounted flat-screen TVs. The primary bedroom has its own en-suite bath with a rain shower and marble-look vanity. A second full bathroom with rain shower serves the other two bedrooms.
The backyard is where Anna's Cottage earns its name. Step through the screened porch — dining table for six, lounge seating, shaded and private — and into the fenced yard beyond. Adirondack chairs ring a stone fire pit beneath palm trees and tropical plantings. A gas BBQ grill and outdoor shower complete the picture. Your dog has room to run. After a long beach day, you won't want to leave.
The beach is across the street. Bridge Street's restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, mini-golf, and boutiques are one block away. The historic Bradenton Beach Pier is two blocks down. The free island trolley stops nearby — explore the full length of AMI without moving your car once you've parked.
Anna's Cottage requires a 2 night minimum stay certain times of the year. Pet-friendly with a fenced yard.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a great review!
We stayed with our adult children for a week. The location is the reason we rented Anna’s Cottage so close to everything from the beach to restaurants to shopping. But the home had totally exceeded our expectations. It had all of the beach items we needed on property. The house itself had all that we needed to cook except the food itself!! We all definitely recommend it!!

Thank you so much for your 5-star review and we look forward to hopefully hosting you again in the future!
House was in a great location. While the house was a bit smaller than expected it was more than fine for 3 adults. The bedrooms were very good and each had a tv set. We really enjoyed the screened in back porch.
Anna's Cottage was wonderful! The hosts were very helpful with any questions I had, sent a welcome letter with information and made the check in process easy! The cottage was in a wonderful location, just across the street from the beach and a block from Bridge Street. It is a very clean well-kept cottage, nice backyard, screened in patio with all the amenities (including beach chairs, beach umbrella and beach toys) we needed. Loved it!

Thank you Deva for your wonderful 5 star review!! We would love to have you back in the future!
This house was perfect for our family! It accommodated us well, was literally steps from the beach, the updated backyard was a highlight our of kids and we enjoyed having the restaurants and shops a beach road over. It was such a convenient location for watching the sunrise from the pier to the sunset over the Gulf!

Reviewer Comments:
Property wasn’t very clean. Baseboards and window sills had dirt and bugs; shower curtain liner had mildew. Kitchen sink was stained, which indicates no bleach products used. House was hot after lunch and into the night everyday...79 degrees. Maintenance man came, said it was an ongoing problem. Chair and bench in living room were too uncomfortable to sit on. Closet in 1 bedroom had no hanging rod and had been taken over with blankets and vacuum cleaner. Turf grass in back yard was so hot you couldn’t walk on it bc it was plastic. Not to mention small pets are allowed, so does someone sanitize this afterwards? Porch wasn’t usable bc afternoon sun beamed directly on it and there were no fans. Couldn’t watch tv in living room until the sun went down bc double window shades didn’t block sun and the glare was too intense. I stayed 3 doors down last year for less and had a bigger property with a small pool and none of these problems. About the only positives I have are location and the rental company was prompt.
This was a wonderful week long stay, perfect property for three couples. Location was perfect for us, maybe 50 yards from the restaurants, bars, and shopping that Bridge St offers, and about the same distance from the beach. Speaking of the beach, there is a small shed in the back containing beach chairs, a cooler, and even a wagon for bringing your stuff to the beach. The kitchen was modern with everything you'd need if you wanted to cook your own meals. Access to a washer/dryer was a plus. We had smokers in our group, so the screened in porch got a lot of use. We didn't use the cute gas fire pit area in the back, but we did use the deck area adjacent to the screened in porch. All in all, we heartily recommend this property.

Pleased with the cottage, though we did not spend much time there. Small issue with one of the bathrooms that we reported, and requested that the repairs were completed after our stay. Property management was very responsive.
