About this property
Classic fishing cabin with free kayaks/boats!Close to beach! Dock your boat n/c!
4 night minimum. Cute, quaint, 1950's waterfront fishing cottage for rent. Kayaker heaven! Fully furnished 2 BR, 2 Bath, pine ceilings, luxury vinyl plank floors throughout, ceiling fans, decorated by motion picture decorator, recently remodeled. New mini-split 4 head HVAC system. Instant hot water. New metal roof. Canal front/waterfront 4 houses from Ruskin Inlet, 2 blocks to the Little Manatee River by water, which is a designated "Outstanding Florida Water". Dolphin and manatees often seen in canal. COWBOY POOL! Manatee viewing center nearby. Less than 10 minutes to Tampa Bay by water. Canoe, 4 kayaks, 14' electric jon boat, provided n/c as available. See/fish the pristine estuaries of Tampa Bay. Dock your boat on the sea wall. Much golfing available nearby. Dogs-$50/per additional fee, professional grooming required prior to arrival. EV charging additional fee. Nearby to Apollo Beach, Sun City Center, Palmetto, Bradenton, Brandon, Tampa. There could be a Key Lime pie in your future! We try to make certain that you can sustain the first night without shopping. I doubt there's anything in your kitchen that's not here! Usually have fresh herbs, tomatoes. Several working class rental homes on street leading to the cottage. Never a problem. Maximum 6 people on property, please. Last photo is a manatee in the canal at dock. Active biting insect prevention in use.
