Perfect little cottage!

I came to Bradenton for a class at the Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine. The cottage was a half mile walk from the cottage so I could walk to class and even go back for my lunch break. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Pam was so easy to work with and very responsive to messages. If I ever come back to Bradenton, I hope the cottage is available!

We were located between friends and lots of activities. Beach, museums, theatre, music, great restaurants. Cottage was clean. Very well furnished. Great kitchen utensils, fridge, stove, coffee maker toaster. Proximity to airport was not an issue for us. Owner was very responsive to one issue. Forgot to mention great laundry. Nice little patio on back.

Perfectly Cozy Cottage

This adorable cottage has all the basics covered - a well appointed kitchen, tons of towels, beach towels, outdoor area, plenty of storage for longer stays, and a washer/dryer onsite too! The carport is awesome when it rains. There’s a seafood restaurant in walking distance, CVS/Target and an Indian restaurant less than a mile away and Aldi is less than 2 miles. I found the neighborhood clean and safe too. And Pam’s communication is awesome!

Truly a Home away from Home

I needed to be in the Bradenton location for a minimum of 6 weeks and I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. Pam was very responsive to all my questions (I was unfamiliar with the area). The house itself is on a quiet, dead end street with wonderful, quiet neighbors and even has a carport to keep your vehicle nice and cool out of the hot FL sun. Inside, it's small but very cozy and has everything you could possibly need from full sized appliances, plenty of kitchenware, both charcoal and gas grills, laundry, fast Wi-Fi, and very comfortable bedding. There are plenty of amazing beaches close by as well as multiple grocery stores, Target, and restaurants less than a 5 min drive away. I will not hesitate to stay here again next time I'm in the area.
