About this property

Cottage in the Shade, 3 min walk to beach, restaurants, and pickleball crt.

Escape to this charming cottage in picturesque Bradenton Beach. Nestled within a tree grove, the cottage features 2 bedrooms. Five min walk to Bridge Steet and free trolley servicing the entire island.

Due to the construction in the area, $50 discount per night is factored into the price.

Inside the cottage there is a nice living room with a futon, a galley kitchen, laundry room and a full bathroom. The backyard deck is amidst a serene picnic area with table and grill. Enjoy pickle ball close by.

Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, this comfy cottage is the perfect place to unwind. It is also located next door to our other 1 bedroom cottage (20112769) for those who wish to book both cottages together for group-family gatherings.

Since this property is newly listed, please refer to next door cottage for ratings. Simply enter above number where it says "where to". We look forward to hosting you at our place.

Prices are based upon double occupancy (2 people). One or two additional people will be $50/night extra utilizing the 2nd bedroom.

It is a nice place. The furnitures in the bathroom and the bedrooms a little old but overall is a nice little place.

There's a difference between "old" and antique or classic. The vanity in the bathroom is an antique which is in keeping with a 100 year old cottage, which arguably makes it too an antique. Old Florida is what makes AMI unique and so our cottages reflect that.

The cottage was absolutely adorable. Very spacious, comfortable and clean. The location is perfect for the pier, shops, restaurants and beach. The pickle ball court is a plus. So glad we discovered this gem. Hope to return in the future.

The location was great for me as I always walk or use the A.M.I. Trolley to get around. The cottage was well furnished, (as far as appliances and kitchen equipment). There were plenty of nice towels and linens. I would not recommend this location for a large group or family with small children, (no yard space for outside activities). The living room furniture and throw rugs are worn and dated. As a solo traveler I would stay there again as the size and location fit my needs very nicely. And communication with the owners was always positive and pleasant.

Love that the host, Randy, made a point of meeting us. He was kind and great to talk to. What a sweet place to stay! Lots of love has been put into this little house and the little details were not missed by us. It felt like a home away from home from simple decor to the little things provided such as a few hangers in the closet, coffee and other basics in the pantry, a hamper for laundry.. and an extra beach bag, which came in quite handy! The shade was so nice to have but I bet even more valuable in the warmer parts of the season. Our only wish was for a full-length mirror--that's it! Definitely would like to return and definitely encouraging family to stay in the same spot when they come down.

Everything was conveniently located close to the beach, pier and restaurants. Free bus that travels the whole beach. House was clean and answered questions promptly.
