This was a lovely place to stay! It was very comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen had everything you need to cook and prepare home cooked meals. I will definitely stay here again when visiting this area. Great location.
Wonderful house in a great location!! Easy access to restaurants, shops, and of course the beach! The host is very responsive and easy to work with. The house is beautifully decorated and well stocked. It really felt like home.
We absolutely loved this cute cozy little cottage. Very clean and organized. Loved the comfortable beds and couch. Loved all the little touches and details…well thought out. Great AC and lots of ceiling fans…perfect for the Florida heat. We will definitely consider staying here again and highly recommend this as a comfy cozy place to stay!!
The house was very clean and organized. They were good at communicating and the house was easy to access with the digital entry. Located in a decent neighborhood. I would recommend the listing.
The house was beautiful in a quiet neighborhood. The interior was decorated with class. The house was super clean and had all amenities that you could imagine.

Much appreciated! Would love to have your family back and maybe next time you can join them :) All the best~
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.
Stefanie was excellent in her communications and very considerate. Responses were immediate.

About the host
Hosted by Stefanie Cucciarre
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.
