Sail Away Cottage · 170 Steps · Pool · 1920's Cottage

3BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · 170 Steps to Beach · Private Heated Pool · Outdoor Shower · Large Deck · Elevated Position · Tropical Landscaping · 3-Car Parking

Sail Away Cottage was built in 1920 — one of the oldest homes on Anna Maria Island — and moved to its current location in Bradenton Beach in the 1980s. The bones and character of a century-old beach cottage are intact. The island-themed updates are throughout. From the elevated position, you can hear the Gulf waves without seeing the water directly — and on a clear day, there's even a peek of the Gulf from the right angle.

One hundred and seventy steps to the sandy beach. That's the walk from the front door to the sand — specific enough to plan around, short enough to make spontaneous beach trips genuinely easy.

The private backyard is the outdoor living space. A heated pool sits in the center, framed by new tropical landscaping that screens the yard from the street. A large deck wraps the pool area — the right setup for morning coffee, afternoon sun, and evening cookouts. An outdoor shower handles post-beach cleanup before coming inside.

Three bedrooms sleep six. Two bedrooms have queen beds. The third bedroom has two twin beds. Two full bathrooms throughout. Flat-screen TVs in all bedrooms and the living room. High-speed WiFi included.

Three-car parking is included — generous for a Bradenton Beach property of this size.

Sail Away Cottage requires a one-week minimum stay. Not pet-friendly.

*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

It was just right for us. The construction next door was a little distracting. And the girls weren’t thrilled to hang out in the pool when the work crew was there. But overall it was wonderful.

Book Now - You Won't Regret It

We were completely satisfied with our stay at "Sail Away Cottage". Pictures are accurate, description is spot on, house is clean. Close proximity to the beach was a big plus for us. Quiet neighborhood and the beach wasn't crowded. Close to many different restaurants. Check-in was efficient and communication was clear. Such a hidden gem. You won't be disappointed with this booking.

Felt at home

Definitely a house you can relax in. We had 6 people during our stay and never felt crammed in together. The twin beds in the 2nd guest room are not very sturdy, so I was a little nervous putting my boys in there. Good communication with rental service even when we arrived very late. Overall very pleased with our stay.

Amazing location and house!

We absolutely loved this property. The location was amazing. A very quick walk across the road and you were on the beach. So close we walked several miles on it every morning before working remotely. We were also able to walk to plenty of restaurants and bars from here. We didn’t drive for 4 or 5 days while here and just walked everywhere which was awesome. The pool and backyard are so nice and private and the house is beautiful. We would definitely rent here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sail away cottage was exceptional! Location is just a few steps from the beach. House is tucked away with tall trees and tropical plants which was great for privacy. House was very clean and accomodating for our family. Our only complaint was the Mosquitos being out of control all day.Made it tough to enjoy the backyard especially in the evening. Overall highly satisfied with property and would visit again
