Great cottage

We loved the cottage, especially the beach and dock. My 2 little dogs got to go play on the beach area and we saw crabs, dolphins and a stingray! It was a wonderful vacation. We loved talking with Len! Thanks a lot!!

A little slice of heavan

The cottage layout was the perfect match for us. The cottage is a bit older and is showing its age. There are some cracked tiles and settling cracks in the walls but none of that is a deal breaker. The layout is perfect for a family of four. My kids shared the one bedroom with the two beds, it was perfect. Kitchen is nicely appointed with plently of pots,pans,dishes,silerware ect. Plenty of towels and such. The outside is the real treasure. We fished everday over our 7 days and caught 13 different species of fish, a fishemans dream! The tiki bar area is so cool and dock sitting area was perfect for dolphin watching. We kayaked with the supplied equipment and got some lovely views of the surrounding area. Bev was a wonderful host, very attentive and just a lovely person. The property being pet friendly was great. Our pups enjoyed the salt air and beach area as well. We would love to stay again.

Beautiful property and comfortable cottage getaway. Stocked with everything you needed! Very relaxing which is just what I needed. Thank you for your hospitality!

Go Birds!

We booked this trip for my husband’s 50th birthday so we could attend the Bucs vs Eagles game. We decided to stay someplace out of the hustle and bustle of the popular areas. Snead island is a nice getaway. We were super close to the nature reserve which was a cool surprise. We ventured to Gulfport for a boat tour and also Bradenton for a night out. St Pete was about 30ish min drive. In Palmetto, be sure to check out Dee’s for breakfast. The cottage was situated on the front of the owner’s property. We honestly hardly even knew they were there. They were very communicative through the booking process as well as the stay. The dock was a very short walk around the owners home. The property/area is pet friendly. We are animal lovers so it was not a bother to us at all. The owners dogs were secure in their home and we barely even knew they were there. The house was everything we needed. The floors are a little wonky, but it didn’t affect our stay. We would totally recommend this home away from home 😊 Thank you again to Bev and Len for being gracious hosts!
