General overview

Welcome to Bradenton, Florida - located on the West Coast of Florida nestled between Sarasota and Tampa. We are 15 - 20 minutes away from Anna Maria Island and the beaches. If you have never been to Anna Maria Island it’s a must see and has won several awards for the best beach town, including by Condé Nast. Our house is perfect for those who love the beach and nature. We are about a 20 minute drive to the beach, or you can ride a bike like we do! There are some wonderful area parks to enjoy such as Robinson Preserve where you can walk, cycle, or even kayak through the mangrove tunnels. Other local attractions are: City of Bradenton River Walk, Village the Arts, The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature, Historic Cortez Fishing Village, Mote Marine Aquarium, Selby Gardens, the Ringling Museum and Ca' d'Zan Mansion. If you want to go to Orlando for the parks (Disney World, Sea Work, Islands of Adventure, etc) it's about a 2 hour drive, Tampa is about 1 hour where you can find Bush Gardens, Adventure Island, and Lowery https://www.cntraveler.com/story/bradenton/amp http://www.robinsonpreserve.com/ https://www.bradentongulfislands.com/places/133/cortez-historic-fishing-village https://www.siestakeycrystalclassic.com/ https://bishopscience.org/ https://www.villageofthearts.com/ https://www.sarasotamagazine.com/home-and-real-estate/2021/01/neighborhood-guide-anna-maria-island https://www.realizebradenton.com/riverwalk/ https://www.ringling.org/museum-art https://selby.org/

The space

We live in a restored 1947 Florida cottage which still has its original hardwood floors, fireplace and charm. Our home is cozy, about 1,200 square feet of air conditioned space. The kitchen is bright and opens to the small dining area and living room. There will be 2 available bedrooms (both with queen beds) and one bathroom that has a shower/tub. We have 2 nice wood decks to relax on along with a screened lanai, Webber grill , laundry room and a large fenced back yard with a little air conditioned she-shed. The front yard is landscaped almost entirely in Florida native plants.

Guest access

1 floor but does have 3-4 steps to get in- all steps have rails.

Notes

This is an older home and closet/storage space is a bit tight. In order to accommodate guests we will move our clothes/belongings out of one closet/wardrobe from each room and put in a 3rd room that will just be used to store our items. We have one large smart 65” TV in the living room and sound bar but no other TVs. We are unable to do longer term swaps over 2 weeks as our vacation time is pretty limited.

Neighbourhood

Quiet neighborhood filled with an eclectic mix of homes and lots of old oak trees. The neighborhood is close to the Manatee River and Lewis Park and about 20 minutes to the beaches.

Getting to my home

Just a few blocks away from Manatee Avenue (SR64), turn north on 34th St W and then 2 blocks later turn east… we are the second to last house on the left with the white picket fence.

Nearest airport

Sarasota-Bradenton Airport which is about 20-30 minutes away. Next closest is the. Tampa airport which is about 45 minutes away.

Getting around

Close enough to grocery stores to ride a bike. You will need a car to go most places in this area as public transport is not very effective.
