About this property

Old Florida Charm: Casa Bratee Manatee

Contrast from the hectic modern life. Indulge in relaxing free time without constant TV blaring. (but we do provide internet access , ROKU, and there's a built-in DVD player).
Step into our retro/tiki/vintage style home, inspired by old florida, and travel near and far.
Vintage show pieces in each room help transport you to a slower pace,
And the sight of palm trees remind you that you are not in Kansas anymore?
A large 2 bedroom, 2 bath apt. with a lanai/patio looking onto a creek and subtropical splendor.
There's a futon style sofa bed in the lanai room, a sofa in living room that I've slept on comfortably, and a couch in one of the bedrooms that can sleep one.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Bruce

Host profile image
Considered an earthling,
I have traveled for a living for 3 decades, working backstage on traveling Broadway productions.
I am interested in almost everything, and bought this Florida place as an experiment when looking for places for my sister and brother-in-law.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is mostly single family homes within walking distance of The WonderGardens, restaurants, shops, and the public park.
The house is on Leitner Creek which leads to the Imperial River about a block away.
The creek is the focal point of the house and patio, imparting a sub-tropical, everglades kind of feel.

What makes this property unique

The house is a tribute to old florida, and to travels near and far.
It's a kaleidoscope of color and vintage treasures,
not a cookie cutter kind of place.
Guests have a chance to unwind in a quirky place with bright colors and vintage style.
