Enjoy this beautiful vintage 1920s bungalow only minutes from Anna Maria Island and some of Florida's best beaches. Everything in this bungalow - from the modern kitchen and bathrooms to the original wood floors to the tropical back garden & screen house - has been updated to make it a luxurious Florida getaway.
The living space has 9-foot ceilings & lots of windows to bring in the Florida sunshine. There are 2 bedrooms with luxury queen beds. One bedroom has a cathedral ceiling & French doors that lead out to the tropical garden full of native plants to attract butterflies and birds. The second bedroom has a 4-poster bed, window seat and comfy chair for curling up with a good book or tablet. Guests can use the third room to watch TV or use as a home office.
The kitchen has everything a cook could want including a gas stove, microwave, quality pots & pans, spices and cooking gadgets of every kind.
As nice as it is inside, what also makes this house extra special is the outdoor space. Guests can relax in the screened-in front porch or have total privacy in the large fenced-in back garden and spacious screen house. From the screen house you'll look out at the garden planted with Florida native plants designed to attract birds and butterflies.
We've tried to think of everything - big and small - to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Additional amenities include central A/C, blackout shades, ceiling fans, dishwasher, washer/dryer, beach chairs & beach towels. We supply many of the little things you don't always find in a vacation rental like nice linens and towels, cloth napkins, hair dryer, spices, coffee & tea and more.
The neighborhood has that old Florida feel, with tropical moss-draped trees surrounding older homes, family friendly sidewalks in a quiet residential area.
Walking and biking distance from the house is downtown Bradenton, The River Walk, Historic District, Village of the Arts art district, and Robinson Nature Preserve. Close to several top-notch golf courses for public play. 15 minutes by car are the gorgeous beaches and cute towns of Anna Maria Island, dolphin and manatee watching, boating, the IMG Sports Academy, Sarasota and McKechnie Field (major league baseball spring training). We provide guests with a detailed list of our favorite activities and restaurants in the area.
This is a great spot for couples, friends, and families with older children to enjoy time together but it's not a place to entertain. And we love children but because of the furnishings, this may not be the right home for guests with young children.
Only the guests on the lease (4 max) to spend the night here. No parties please.
In addition, no smoking and no candles please.
Please note - I have a strict cancellation policy and highly recommend guests buy travel insurance so they’re covered in case they have to cancel outside the refund window.
