About this property

Charming Vintage Bungalow and lush tropical garden minutes from Anna Maria!

Immaculately renovated 1920s bungalow minutes from Anna Maria, downtown Bradenton, IMG, golf, tennis, fishing, boating, nature preserves and manatee watching. This beautifully renovated family-friendly cottage maintains vintage details like wood floors and Dutch front door while offering modern amenities like an updated kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. The neighborhood has that old Florida feel with tropical moss-draped trees surrounding older homes, family-friendly sidewalks in a quiet residential area.

This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home has a large kitchen, dining room and sun-filled office. In the back garden there's a large screen house for relaxation and outdoor dining. The home sleeps 4. Bright, large living area with 42" TV. Very comfortable bedrooms, one with a king Tempurpedic bed, one with a high-quality queen bed, both with luxury linens.

Very comfortable, clean and uncluttered, the bungalow is decorated with mixture of vintage finds, family pieces and modern design. This is not a typical rental home - plenty of love and attention to detail has been put into the renovation and furniture design. Working remotely? No problem - the house has high speed Wifi throughout and a very large desk in the office.

Walking and biking distance from the house is downtown Bradenton, the River Walk and several nature preserves. Close to several private golf courses that allow public play as well as public tennis and pickle ball courts. 15 minutes by car are the gorgeous beaches and cute towns of Anna Maria Island, dolphin and manatee watching, IMG Sports Academy, Sarasota and McKechnie Field (major league baseball spring training).

Guests can relax on the front porch with Adirondack chairs or have total privacy in the wonderful free-standing screen room in the backyard. It's great for outdoor dining, cocktails or simply catching up on that forgotten novel. The screen room is situated in the the backyard planted with Florida-friendly foliage to attract birds and butterflies. Guests bringing pets will be happy to know the back yard is completely fenced in. And there's plenty of street parking, or you can park in the back yard.

Additional amenities include central air, numerous ceiling fans, dishwasher, washer/dryer, Pack n' Play, and queen blow-up bed if requested. We supply many of the things you don't always find in a vacation rental like nice linens and towels, cloth napkins, hairdryer, spices, coffee & tea. We've tried to think of everything - big and small - that will make your stay as relaxing, easy and comfortable as possible. We also provide guests with a detailed list of our favorite activities and restaurants in the area. And for guests bringing pets, we provide a list of dog-friendly places, too! We've tried to think of every thing - big and small - that will make your stay as relaxing, easy and comfortable as possible. If there's anything you need, just ask!

This is a great spot for couples, friends or small families to enjoy time together but is not a place to entertain. Only 4 guests to spend the night here and no parties please.

In addition, no smoking and no candles please.
Pets permitted ONLY with express permission from the homeowner and additional charges will apply.

Please note - we highly recommend guests buy travel insurance so they’re covered in case they have to cancel outside the refund window.

Perfect Vacation!
We absolutely loved our stay at the bungalow. It had everything we needed, and Caroline was awesome. She gave excellent dinner recommendations and was always available for our questions about the area. For a pet friendly prpoerty, there honestly was not a pet odor in the house. If we are ever back in the area, we would absolutely stay at this house again.

Great house!
The house met all expectations. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms had window blinds that blocked all light for a sound sleep. The kitchen is well appointed with good appliances. There is a screened-in gazebo in the back that provided a pleasant sitting area to have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The house is convenient to downtown Bradenton, IMG, Publix, and CVS. The owner checked in frequently to ensure that there were no issues during my stay. I will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Ziv

Host profile image
I'm a Chicago native who loves travel, decorating, nature, and the arts. I've been to 40+ countries - and try to add at least one new one to the list every year. I've lived in cities most of my life (NYC, London & Chicago) and this is my first house (vs apartment) - and I love it. Even sweeping the porch & pulling weeds makes me happy -- maybe because I've never had to do it before! When I'm not in Denver or traveling, Bradenton is my second home - and I'm excited to share it with people who will love it as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

I spent months looking for the perfect property that had the charms of an older house (great moldings, wood floors, front porch) in a great neighborhood - and finally found it in this Bradenton bungalow. I saw this house and bought it the same day! With so many cookie cutter houses out there, I knew I had to grab this gem as soon as I walked in the front door.

I turned what had been the garage into a light, bright and airy screen room that makes me smile every time I sit in it. If you visit, you'll see why! After years of city living, I wanted a backyard sanctuary filled with tropical foliage. So I redid the back yard to turn it into my tropical paradise and it attracts butterflies and birds. The screen room & back yard is the perfect place to kick back and relax with a book, chill & listen to music, or catch up with family or friends. I am so happy with how it turned out & love sharing it!

What makes this property unique

We are 5 minutes from downtown Bradenton and all it has to offer.
Nature preserves are all around us so you can go for a walk, bike ride, run, paddle board, kayak, or just stroll and take in the sights and sounds of nature.
We are 15-20 minutes from Anna Maria Island. One advantage to not being on the island is not having to deal with the terrible traffic & crowds, especially in season. You can drive or bike (or even take the bus) to the island in the morning, spend the day at the beach & then come home to your private oasis here. No loud parties or bars. Just privacy & comfort.
Sarasota with all its attractions (it's a great small city with too many attractions to mention) is only 25 minutes away.
There's also Siesta Key, voted the best beach in the world several times, just west of Sarasota (& south of Anna Maria Island) and popular Longboat Key.
And there is plenty to explore up north - downtown St. Pete, which has a great art community and lots of trendy restaurants, great beaches, and Tampa.
