Acerca de este alojamiento
2 habitaciones 2. 5 baños Casa histórica (vista al agua, vecindario tranquilo, cerca del centro)
Ubicada en una exuberante hamaca verde de roble, al otro lado de la calle del río Manatee y al borde del distrito histórico del centro, esta casa histórica engañosamente espaciosa tiene encanto en abundancia, así como las comodidades modernas necesarias. Construido en los años 1880-1890, ampliamente remodelado en la década de 1920, y completamente remodelado nuevamente durante 2014-16, los huéspedes describen la casa como un "hogar lejos del hogar".
Duerme 4 (2 dormitorios) y 2 1/2 baños. Dormitorio principal con cama King de California y segundo dormitorio con cama Queen. Cocina totalmente remodelada y equipada: encimeras de granito, electrodomésticos modernos que incluyen lavaplatos y cocina que conducen a una sala de estar separada, un comedor y un lavadero y medio baño. La sala principal conserva el encanto de los años 20: candelabros; Chimenea original, puertas y pisos de madera. Televisión, teléfono, reproductor de DVD y WiFi con internet de alta velocidad están incluidos. El solárium delantero tiene un encanto rústico costero: el revestimiento holandés original muestra la arquitectura histórica; techos abovedados; abanico de plantaciones; acogedor sofá para sentarse, relajarse y echar un vistazo al río.
La cubierta trasera tiene muebles y una parrilla de barbacoa de gas para cocinar y comer al aire libre, y goza de vistas a la hamaca de roble frondosa del histórico Mineral Spring Park (búhos, halcones, águilas calvas, águilas pescadoras, pájaros carpinteros, garcetas, garzas e ibis tienen todo sido visto aquí).
El pueblo histórico de Manatee y otras casas históricas están a 2 calles. Cafés, bares, restaurantes, tiendas locales, el hospital Manatee Memorial, teatros, museos, atracciones como el planetario y Riverwalk, y el centro histórico con su mercado de agricultores, se encuentran a 2 millas (una caminata tranquila para el móvil o un paseo en bicicleta fácil) )

Thank you for choosing the Blue Heron Hideaway for your stay, I’m delighted you found it as relaxing as we do. The neighborhood has changed over the last 3 years with development and we had mixed feelings about it, but we are so lucky to have the manatee riverfront park being landscaped in front of us and the Mineral Springs Historic Park to the side. We are in the very oldest part of Bradenton, where settlers first came to the area, so we are relieved that the City is sympathetically developing the area to honor its heritage. The Riverwalk expansion project will come right to park and the house will be even better connected to the riverfront amenities and downtown should you revisit Bradenton. We hope to welcome you again! Tiffany

Perfect place to spend the summer!
The Blue Heron was exactly the place for us to stay while we waited for our new house to be completed. It is welcoming, spacious and had everything we needed. We enjoyed summer evenings on the back deck. Bradenton is a great city! So close to Anna Maria Island with its beautiful beaches made it the perfect spot. Coquina Beach was our favorite! Tiffany and Fred are wonderful hosts! We love the Blue Heron and recommend it!

Lovely beachy, cottage feel inside.
The cottage’s interior was roomy, clean, and well appointed with kitchen wares and bath amenities. The exterior was not as pleasant, unfortunately. If you’re ok with a old, unkempt neighborhood, then this is for you. It was quite handy to the Pittsburgh Pirates spring training ballpark and practice facilities. That’s what brought us to Bradenton

I am glad to report that this home is in a historic district which is enjoying sympathetic regeneration. There is now a park opposite the house (as well as adjacent to it) where an old property has been cleared to create a natural green space along the waterfront. Some overgrown land nearby is now a brand new, smart set of apartments, and the City of Bradenton plans, in the coming years, to extend the Riverwalk all the way to the park opposite our home.

Cute house
While I wasn’t in town on vacation and spent most of my time away from property It would have been nice to know ahead of time that there is construction going on next door and across the street. I can say that the homeowner probably wasn’t aware of this. She also was very kind and very responsive with a couple questions I had. I would stay here again (once construction is completed).

Thank you Karen for contacting me about the construction work, to make sure I was aware. It will be wonderful once completed (and we have two new, beautiful parks and the Riverwalk on our doorstep) but I appreciate it isn’t very pretty to look at when work is underway. I am glad the house met your needs and you enjoyed your stay well enough to say you would stay again. Thank you for choosing the Blue Heron Hideaway for your stay.

Perfect Fit!
Property owner was easy to communicate with every time. Property has been recently maintained and freshened up. The elevated style of the house gives a beautiful view of the Manatee River from the front porch. The back deck is a great place to relax in the evening and watch the abundant wildlife come and go.
We enjoyed 21st century amenities in a home over 100 years old!
The construction and maintenance of a new city park was not a disturbance inside the home, as the sounds did not carry inside.
The afternoon lightning storms were spectacular and the rains were cooling.
We will recommend this location and hope to stay again.

Lovely spot by the Manatee River
The owner was very responsive and quick to respond to emailed questions or problems (I had a few wasps). The house is a charming old house that has been updated to include every appliance. Since it is old, it has a few expected idiosyncrasies like the inability to open most of the windows..The kitchen has everything one could possibly need for cooking. The living room was comfortable and had a large screen TV which we enjoyed. I usually had one family member or one friend at a time, but the house could accommodate a large family with the pull-out couch. The owner graciously left an easel for me, and the area near the back porch was a great place to do art work. The washer and dryer were large and convenient to use.The only hitch we experienced was when I accidentally locked us out the first night, and the property manager was out of the country and unavailable. Fortunately the owner has a friend in the neighborhood who was able to help us. The owner was always available by phone or email.

RE: WINDOWS
For any prospective guests reading this: the windows in the front porch should not be opened because they are old (they open but can be a pain to close again!) and the front door can be used to exit in an emergency. All the other windows and external doors are modern vinyl products installed during the extensive remodel and CAN be opened. I mention this in case anyone has concerns about egress in an emergency.

Incredible overall experience
We can't say enough about our 2 months at this property. The only thing better than the amazing location just steps out the front door to the pristine riverwalk and the beautiful home was our host Tiffany. From the moment we booked and throughout our entire stay, Tiffany was responsive, welcoming, and gracious. She cheerfully helped us troubleshoot the few small things that arose and ensured we had as smooth a stay at her home as possible.
We were impressed with the small touches - the ADT security system, the abundance of night lights, and the drawer full of fliers to accompany the recommendations in the guest book.
The home itself is very well laid out. We used every space throughout the days, particularly enjoying the absolutely stocked to the brim kitchen. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the water from the front porch and spent many afternoons in the sun on the back deck. We highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed.

Don't judge a book by it's cover
When we pulled into the driveway, the exterior of the cottage didn't appear to be in great shape, but once inside, we were so surprised how nice and updated it was. Granite counters, nice appliances and fully equiped kitchen. The park next door was the biggest draw for us, but unfortunately, the entire park was under construction with no access. The RiverWalk is nice and will be even nicer when connected to the park next to the cottage. The neighborhood around the cottage is a bit shady, but we learned where to walk, which we did every evening without worry. The homes along the river are nice to very gorgeous. If you are a walker, drive out to Robinson Preserve where there are lots of trails and water fowl. It was 5-stars. There are lots of restaurants within a few miles from the cottage. Wilder's pizza is great. We had a lovely lunch at both Mattison's located off the RiverWalk and Pier 22 at the Marina. Tiffany was wonderful to work with when we had a few issues. The output from a couple of the faucets was not the best. The showers were both great. Nice big dishwasher and washer and dryer. Everything worked fine so no complaints. We had a nice stay and when that park is ready, it will be exceptionally nice.

Great house near everything.
This is great spacious renovated house with practically 4 private rooms (two bedrooms, but people can sleep in other 2 rooms as well) and 3 separate bathrooms (two full and one half bath). Great patio and yard area connected to a city park. These two features alone make this house a unique spot where a large family can experience great Florida/Sarasota vibe in a secluded location yet within minutes from shops, restaurants, parks, walks, beaches and more. For small children Coquina beach is the best because you don't have to walk on send from your car to the water for a few minutes, like in Siesta. Not the best feeling on a hot day under the burning sun. Tiffany is a great host, who made every effort to make our stay the best it can be. She was very prompt and detailed in communication, great and fast with issues resolution, and she provided premium vacation experience in the home away from home. House is stuffed with bedding, bathroom, kitchen and other useful items well beyond of what would normally expected. I rented many vacation rentals for many years and I give this host and property 5 stars in every category, except if you are a super clean person, be prepared to do some washing and cleaning upon arrival because things do get dusty overtime, and cleaners simply don’t have time to go over everything in a few hours. Thank you, Tiffany. I will be recommending your house to my friends and family.

Clean-well maintained-beatiful renovated home
Our group of 2 couples enjoyed our stay very much at the Blue Heron cottage.
We enjoyed sitting in the backyard every morning relaxing and drinking our morning coffee together before heading out to see the sights. It is in an older neighborhood....many big trees covered in Spanish moss-just beautiful. It is located on a quiet street, which we also enjoyed. The house was comfortable and both bedrooms were beautifully furnished. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook your own meals, which we only did a couple of times because there are so many wonderful restaurant options in the area. One meal was fish we caught while fishing with, 5 o'clock Charlies, and we also found a sea food shop near O'Shucks (restaurant) and purchased shrimp and seafood for another meal. It was wonderful having a full functioning kitchen with a dinning room table! The price for this home was reasonable and the reservation process was easy. We loved coming home to a comfortable home each evening. There is a security system installed. Which, while it keeps you and your belongings safe....I wished that there were instructions on how to silence the alarm alerts "beep beep-front door opening" etc. while we were just hanging out at the house would have been nice. That is the only issue and it was not a deal breaker. We are thankful to the owners for sharing their beautiful home with us.

Best experience!
Tiffany has made my Bradenton Vrbo experience stress-free, relaxing, and memorable! My roommate and I are medical student interns that needed a place to stay in Bradenton, FL, for the summer. We already had a previous property ready for us 3 months in advanced and in the last minute, that property told us they weren’t available anymore. We were extremely stressed out and worried we wouldn’t have a place to stay. Luckily, we found the Blue Heron Hideaway and Tiffany. Let me tell you, Tiffany is the most kind, patient, empathetic, and generous host I have ever worked with. She responds with lightning speed to accommodate our every need even when she is in a different time zone. Not only was she super easy to work with, and great at communicating, her beautiful home made our stay very comfortable. It has everything you ever need for a long stay. The sunroom is perfect for lounging around and looking at scenic view, or if you need to study and work. The kitchen is fully stocked with almost every appliance and tool you need to bake, cook, or grill. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very clean and comfortable. The rooms also have a beautiful view of the brand new park that was built next door. I was also able to walk outside each morning and enjoy a cup of coffee with the phenomenal sunrise, beautiful trees, sounds of the manatee river, and even enjoy a book with the little free library. The back patio also has a nice view of the park and has a big table/chairs/umbrella for a barbecue with friends and family. We also worked with Mike who is the on-sight manager that helped out a ton for any little fixes that we needed during our three months. All in all, this place is perfect and I highly recommend it to anyone needing to stay in Bradenton. I definitely want to come back! 10/10

nice place be wary of added cleaning fees and accusations of destroying equipment
We enjoyed our stay, but were shocked when we did not receive the full deposit back. The poor customer service from the manager Andrew does not lend us to ever want a return visit nor would we recommend this place in the future. There are plenty of options to choose from in the area, plus a lot of construction going on in the city block. Might be more rental options soon.
We were accused of destroying the grill tools, when actually my husband is an expert chef and brings his grilling tools when we travel. The actual truth was that the grill was filthy, and we cleaned it before we used it, and after we finished using the grill. The tools actually were damaged that were sitting on the grill -- burnt, slimy, and not clean. The back yard is very dark, and a friend from the area who was visiting was not able to see all the stairs and fell off the stairs, twisting his foot. Luckily my husband heard him call for help, he was unable to get up on his own because he is somewhat disabled. There was no railing on the five stairs, and when I mentioned it to the caretaker he said no one ever had that problem before.
Tonight when we called the manager Andrew about the withholding of our full deposit, he informed us we damaged the grill tools and said we were charged the extra money (taken off the deposit) because we left the home needing extra cleaning. He said we had 6 people in the home, and the max was 5. Our son and his friend joined us for 4 of the six nights. We did not know adding family to our trip at the last minute would lead toward being charged extra cleaning fees.
We ALWAYS treat the properties we stay in as it is our home, and left this property in excellent condition to the point of finishing all but a few pieces of laundry, swept and washed the kitchen floor, and wiped down the bathrooms. The home was in very good condition when we departed.
There is a big dog appears to be a pit bull next door that barks often and strains the leash and appears aggressive. We were not comfortable being outdoors when the dog was on the leash. The neighborhood is so-so, a home two doors down had several cars with teens and young adults, not moving the cars when we were arriving back to the home. We watched on one occasion one of those persons sat on the top of the chimney on the second story of the house. Our son in law said once and my husband agrees "I feel a little uncomfortable with the dog and the neighbor's actions two doors down."

The additional charge was just $25 for the heavy cleaning needed and I did not charge for the bbq equipment that was destroyed. Our cleaning contractor said the cottage was left in the worst condition she had ever seen before. I find it interesting that you left us a very good 5 star rating in the guest book in the cottage but when you were charged for the extra needed cleaning your rating dropped down to just 1 star. I will look to add some additional lighting in and around the back yard.

Relaxing Stay at Blue Heron Hideaway
We had a fantastic experience staying at this property for about 5 weeks. It is a historic home with a lot of charm, but also all of the modern conveniences we require. It is extremely comfortable and the owners thought of and provided everything you could possibly need in a home! The surrounding open green space added to the tranquility and peacefulness, along with the nearby access to the Manatee river. Very relaxing and pleasant stay! We highly recommend it.

Sisters get away
Our first sisters getaway ever and I wanted to make it really special. In searching for a property, this one kept popping up. Wow! were the words once we checked in. Very beautiful! everything we needed for 4 ladies and more. We loved the deck, as that's where we had our coffee in the mornings. The kitchen is well stocked, we loved the newly updated bathrooms, and the fact there were 2.5, having the laundry room a very nice feature also. The property owner, Mr. Harrington was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Instructions were easy to follow. And yes, we would definitely stay again. Close to shopping, eateries,and beaches.

Great place, great location!
Plenty of room, nice quiet spaces. Quiet outside, lovely deck. Upgrades are beautiful! Lovely bathrooms, kitchen and other features.
Cozy beds. Great appliances! A warm, comfortable home. No problems, no issues. Great location with lots to do within blocks. Great for going north or south as highways are close. Felt very safe in the area also.
We could not have been happier!!

Quaint and modern. Enjoy coffee on the porch.
Centrally located to many attractions and restaurants. If you love to cook while traveling the kitchen is well stocked for any type of cooking. Take the time to see the islands and St. Armand's Circle. Dine at Columbia and enjoy champaigne sangria or indulge your sweet tooth at Kilwins.

Very clean and well-equipped. Pleasant decor.
Lovely house but the location may not be convenient for some people. Downtown Bradenton is a 35 minute walk. Only a taqueria is within walking distance. We had trouble getting in the house as the instructions gave the wrong number for the lockbox. There was no answer at contact number provided , so we left a messsge and had to wait about an hour for someone to get back to us with the correct number. Once inside, we were very happy with the spacious rooms, modern kitchen and bathrooms. There was a beautiful sun porch that we didn't even use! The owners seem to take pride in their house.
Bicycles would have been nice to explore the Bradenton Riverfront. And we would have used the BBQ if the fuel tank was full.
There was a great security system that made us feel quite secure in this mixed neighborhood.
Overall, we had a great time and we're able to visit many sights by car.

The Blue Heron was everything that we expected. It was centrally located to all our activities
The owners and caretaker Mack obviously take pride in this property. We would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the area

Acerca de su propietario/a
Propietario/a: Tiffany Oatway
We fell in love with this area when we decided to get married on Anna Maria island some years ago. We used to rent on the island but decided to set up house in Bradenton, and save this old Florida gem from demolition. We completely remodelled it, over 3 years, whilst retaining as much of its early character and charm as possible. In the process we discovered Bradenton lives up to its name of the 'Friendly City'. We have a wonderful community of local businesses, eateries, and our lovely neighbourhood and neighbours.
Por qué escogió este alojamiento
We love being near the water, the great old oak trees in our yard and around our quiet neighbourhood, and our proximity to local historical sites, Downtown, the Riverwalk, the gulf island beaches and our great location between the cultural hubs of Tampa, St Petersburg and Sarasota.
Nearby....
There are several shops and restaurants/cafes/bars within 0.5 miles of the cottage and a much greater choice within 1.5 miles, which incorporates Downtown.
River/Boats: located just across the street from the Manatee River, close to Tarpon Pointe Marina and Caddy's at the Pointe. Braden River public boat ramp is located just a few minutes away at Manatee Avenue & 29th Street East. There is a multitude of Charter fishing guides in the area.
Beaches: There are several long stunning white sandy beaches are located in nearby Bradenton, Anna Maria Island & Longboat Key. The Sandbar, Beach House & Mar Vista restaurants are some of the best dining on the island beaches, especially if you love watching sunrise/sunsets. The Bradenton City Riverwalk can be accessed nearby (with it's skate park, volleyball, water park, playground, kids' splash zone, picnic area, outdoor stage, and more). Walk/cycle along the Riverwalk to Old Main Street, Pier 22 or Mattisons Restaurants.
Local and Historical: The house is located adjacent to the historic Mineral Springs Park. The Manatee Village Historical Park and Reflections of Manatee museum houses are within walking distance (1 or 2 blocks). It is a short drive to the South Florida Museum and Planetarium, DeSoto Memorial Park, Mote Aquarium, Mixon's Fruit Farm, Sarasota Jungle Gardens, and Robinson Preserve.
Sports: LECOM Park (was McKechnie Field) is a short drive away, as are IMG Academy and various golf courses in the area.
(There are many brochures, guides and maps in the cottage for your information, to help you make the most of your stay)
