Well stocked clean home with nice extra's like spices, and other supplies that many houses lack. Location is walking distance to a lovely, shaded park for nice walks. Park has a free pool for kids and family, and a YMCA is also close by for rainy or hot days. Close to beaches, town and grocery stores. Appliances are in great shape and plenty of laundry supplies if you need to do a load. TVs had all the major apps on them.

About the host

Hosted by Stefanie Cucciarre

Host profile image
I am a Bradenton Native. I enjoy living a creative life (cooking, woodworking, interior design to name a few) and I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of bringing Sweet Oaks Cottage to life! I find joy in the details, and hope our cottage is reflective of that! I believe in the importance of giving and receiving respect and trust in any relationship.

Why they chose this property

Sweet Oaks Cottage is located in a traditional residential neighborhood with lots of meandering sidewalks, wide roads and plenty of beautiful tropical foliage to enjoy. We also have no shortage of friendly neighbors and shade trees.

What makes this property unique

This house is a work of heart, truly every corner and space has been thoughtfully furnished and prepared for you. It is a home that has been in my family for many years and very special to me. It is very centrally located to the most popular amenities that draw visitors from afar; Anna Maria Island, IMG Academy, GT Bray Sports complex, Palma Sola Bay, Sarasota, Long Boat Key, Palmetto, downtown Bradenton.
