1950's Beachfront Cottage- As close to paradise as you can get!
Looking for a beach location that is within walking distance of food, fun and relaxation? This is it the perfect beachfront property that looks out on the sugar sand of beautiful Bradenton Beach. The Gulf of Mexico is just steps from the back patio. Spend your day sunbathing and partaking of the turquoise gulf waters. Inside offers you a full kitchen ideal for making a quick snack or cook a full meal. The back patio is ideal for outdoor dining or just relaxing after a hard day of having fun. This property is ideal for a couple or a small family. No matter how long you stay you will be happy to know that there are laundry facilities on the property so no need to search for a laundry mat. 1 parking space per unit and more available upon request. This location is a walkable distance from Bridge Street, Bradenton Beach's main drag. Enjoy the evening shopping, playing mini golf or getting an ice cream. There are a variety of restaurants and bars along your way several offer tropical drinks and old Florida charm. Once you park your car there is no need to drive on the island you can catch the Monkey Bus or the other tip to ride services to places beyond Bridge Street to visit the Kokonut Hut at Gulf Drive Cafe. Have a meal or a drink with a side of a sunset. The island also offers a free trolley that travels to the north of the Anna Maria Island to the City Pier with many stops in between and it can take you to the south end at Coquina Beach. We offer a guide that can be located in our rooms that gives you a list of many of Anna Maria Islands amenities. This old house has weathered many storms and hurricanes. It dates back to the 1950's. This unit is charming, beautifully imperfect, well loved and the best beach location ever. You are truly a minute walk to bridge street. And if you are looking for a space for a small beach wedding this location is it. Please ask for details prior to booking about events.
Things don't always go as planned. Wendy stayed in communication throughout my stay and that alone meant a lot. I will stay here again. The places were clean and well stocked. The sunsets were amazing.
Les points faibles : Communication, emplacement, exactitude de lâannonce
Comfortable, but let down.
We were excited to be right on the beach and to enjoy a hot tub since the weather was cold. However, there was no hot tub as indicated in the listing and Wendy didn't reply to my messaged question about it. We understand this property was recently acquired and is still in need of some updates. Overall, it was comfortable and clean, nice outdoor seating space, lovely view, but the bathroom is too small for a 6' 4" tall man.
Pros: perfect location, 1 car parking spot (parking is rough anywhere else on the island), close to free trolley, directly on the beach, wake up to the most beautiful view ever, easy back and forth from lounging on the beach to lounging in your âbackyardâ on the lounger in the shade, they had some beach toys, charcoal grill, beach towels etc.. Wendy had great communication through messenger and was responsive with my questions. Safe, clean.
Conâs: not the most well built place (floor slanted, no door to bedroom, door doesnât shut well to bathroom). These are all ancillary things that would not inhibit me from booking again. I book for the view and beach experience, not the most up to date place.
Would book again, thanks Wendy!
Great location. Pull out sofa not fit for sleeping. Wooden chair outside is a hazard; It is broken and has sharp edges. Bathroom door didnt latch/ stay closed. Towels were old. Ran out of toilet tissue. Big checklist to follow when leaving. Seems remedial, but dont be in the hospitality business; itâs just poor taste. I have lots of family/ friends/guests stay in my home while vacationing and I cant imagine asking them to do their laundry before leaving. Top location, but cottage needs some repairs& TLC.
This rental is perfect for a couple needing a place to stay directly on the beach. The beach is literally right outside of the back door. The covered back patio and rocking chairs provide a wonderful spot to watch the sunset or sit at night listening to the waves.
This isn't a luxury rental. It's a simple place with the bare necessities for people who need a place to sleep at night. If you're like me and spend most of your beach vacations on the beach or exploring the area attractions, then the rental itself just has to be functional. That is exactly what this rental provides.
You can walk across the street to Bridge street which has some great shops and restaurants. My wife and I loved the Daiquiri Deck. I'm celiac and they were super helpful with helping me find gluten-free food. There's a bakery with gluten-free donuts. If you want to order in, there's an amazing pizza place called Pizzano's with the best gluten-free pizza I've ever had.
I'd stay here again. The rental was in the perfect location and Ana Maria Island is beautiful with lot's to do and see.
