This property gave us everything we needed for our long weekend visiting our daughter. We needed a bed, shower, and convenient location. Brown Bunny is super clean and the bed is comfortable. We only spent sleep time here, so it was perfect. The host was there to meet us when we got there; she gave us all the scoop about the property, and was very friendly, but after that, we had the privacy we needed.
Genevieve has truly created a beautiful place! So cozy and she enjoys spoiling her guests with the healthiest of foods! I'm so lucky to have found her!!
My stay at this listing was amazing. Everything listed about the property, including pictures did not disappoint. This may become my favorite place to book in the future. The host was so sweet and attentive.
Beautiful accomodations and grounds. Great location to nearby restaurants. Geena was a very gracious host. I would recommend staying at the Brown Bunny to anyone looking to stay in the St. Pete or Bradenton area
Geena was a great host, especially with our last minute change in plans. The check in process was easy, she made us feel welcome and the home was exceptionally neat and clean. Geena offered dinner recommendations and suggestions for activities..
Geena was the most accommodating and thoughtful host!! She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had a pleasant stay!! We really enjoyed our time in her BNB & she is also a skilled baker!! Very good GLUTEN FREE & LOW SUGAR options to choose from!! The dark chocolate bites were delicious!! If we are ever in the area for another conference we’d totally look her up!! Don’t pass on this amazing host & her very clean, inviting & chic BNB!!
It was a great place to stay very close to my mother-in-law. Gina was very pleasant. Very easy to talk to the place was immaculate. The only thing is we thought we’d get a breakfast, but she did give us boxes of oatmeal and apples and bananas. Which most times was fine. We enjoyed the stay very much and definitely come back again.
Nice, convenient location. The coffee, tea, snacks and fruit appreciated. I had never seen an electric kettle. Great choice. Never smelt the bakery goodies. Missed that.

Not a bed and breakfast
This listing is inaccurate, it is not a bed and breakfast you are sharing a home with the owner. It should be listed as “room for rent in home.” The owner was there the entire time which was not advertised so it was uncomfortable. It also was not a bakery. The 2 rooms for rent are on either side of the owners room and kitchen which was awkward as well.
The place was very clean, and Geena was very pleasant. I kinda surprised of the slip and fall agreement that we had to sign. And having to be fragrance free while we stayed there. Which we understand but we really wished that there were a couple of chairs on the room to sit on. Sitting on the bed all the time isn’t very comfortable for us senior citizens. The exhaust fan in the bathroom doesn’t work so it made it kinda uncomfortable when showering. Removal of your shoes outside the door was a little bit too much but we did what was necessary to make it work.
