Bradenton Cottage | 2 Bedroom 2.5 Bath (sleeps 4) Historic home by Riverwalk & Parks (min.30 nights)

2 Bedroom Cottage in Bradenton

Nestled in a lush green Oak Hammock, across the street from the Manatee River, waterfront park and public pier (and on the edge of the historic downtown district), this deceptively spacious historic home has charm in abundance as well as the necessary modern conveniences. Built in the 1880-1890s, extensively remodelled in the 1920's, and completely remodelled again throughout 2014-16, guests describe the house as a "Home away from home".
Sleeps 4 (2 bedrooms) and 2 1/2 baths. Master bedroom with California King bed, and 2nd bedroom with a Queen bed. Fully remodelled and equipped kitchen: granite countertops, modern appliances including dishwasher. Kitchen leads to separate sitting area, dining area, and a laundry room and half bath. Main living room retains 1920's charm: chandeliers, original fireplace, doors and wood floors. Television, telephone, DVD player and WiFi with high speed internet are included. Front sun room has rustic coastal charm: original dutch siding showcases historic architecture; vaulted ceiling; plantation fan; cosy couch to sit, relax and enjoy views of the waterfront Mineral Spring Park and Manatee River.
The rear deck has furniture and a gas BBQ grill for outdoor cooking and dining. It overlooks the neighboring historic Mineral Spring Park. Many birds including owls, hawks, bald eagles, osprey, woodpeckers, egrets, herons and ibis have all been spotted in the yard and surrounding park.
The house is on a spacious double lot with a large driveway and ample space for several cars, an RV, or a boat trailer, if needed. Please note that a maximum of 3 vehicles are allowed on the property (please let us know when booking if you wish to bring a boat/trailer or RV).
There is lots to see and do in Bradenton, and we are well positioned between the gulf islands and Interstate 75 (for trips to the beach, island sunsets, and day trips to other nearby cities/destinations further afield).
The popular Bradenton Riverwalk starts at 14th St W in Downtown (Pier 22 restaurant & Twin Dolphin Marina) and is currently being extended east, all the way to 14th St E (the waterfront park opposite our house!). Once completed, you’ll be able to stroll/cycle along the Riverwalk and enjoy its amenities all the way to downtown.
There is a historic waterfront park next to and opposite the house, with access to a brand new public pier, boardwalk, and new section of the Riverwalk….right across the street from the house! There is an observation tower (ADA accessible) for great views over the Manatee River, and benches in the park and along the river where you can relax and take in the views. Walk, cycle, skate, sit, picnic, walk the dog, or borrow a book from the little free lending library….this is a much loved neighbourhood park. A children’s play park is also available a few minutes walk along the riverwalk.
The Manatee Historic Village and other historic houses are 2 blocks away. Local cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, Manatee Memorial hospital, theatre, museums, attractions including the planetarium, Riverwalk, Marina, and Historic Downtown with its Farmer’s Market, are all within 2 miles (a leisurely walk for the mobile or an easy cycle ride or short car ride away).
If you need ideas of places to visit, eat, and explore, check out the brochures and pamphlets available in the drawers of the TV cabinet! We also provide a selection of DVDs, games, jigsaw puzzles and books for rainy days, and some toddler & children’s books, puzzles and games too. Beach chairs are also available for your use when you want to head to the beach!
However you choose to spend your time here, we hope you have a wonderful stay.

Summary: The owner was very responsive and quick to respond to emailed questions or problems (I had a few wasps). The house is a charming old house that has been updated to include every appliance. Since it is old, it has a few expected idiosyncrasies like the inability to open most of the windows..The kitchen has everything one could possibly need for cooking. The living room was comfortable and had a large screen TV which we enjoyed. I usually had one family member or one friend at a time, but the house could accommodate a large family with the pull-out couch. The owner graciously left an easel for me, and the area near the back porch was a great place to do art work. The washer and dryer were large and convenient to use.The only hitch we experienced was when I accidentally locked us out the first night, and the property manager was out of the country and unavailable. Fortunately the owner has a friend in the neighborhood who was able to help us. The owner was always available by phone or email.

Summary: We can't say enough about our 2 months at this property. The only thing better than the amazing location just steps out the front door to the pristine riverwalk and the beautiful home was our host Tiffany. From the moment we booked and throughout our entire stay, Tiffany was responsive, welcoming, and gracious. She cheerfully helped us troubleshoot the few small things that arose and ensured we had as smooth a stay at her home as possible. We were impressed with the small touches - the ADT security system, the abundance of night lights, and the drawer full of fliers to accompany the recommendations in the guest book. The home itself is very well laid out. We used every space throughout the days, particularly enjoying the absolutely stocked to the brim kitchen. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the water from the front porch and spent many afternoons in the sun on the back deck. We highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Tiffany has made my Bradenton Vrbo experience stress-free, relaxing, and memorable! My roommate and I are medical student interns that needed a place to stay in Bradenton, FL, for the summer. We already had a previous property ready for us 3 months in advanced and in the last minute, that property told us they weren’t available anymore. We were extremely stressed out and worried we wouldn’t have a place to stay. Luckily, we found the Blue Heron Hideaway and Tiffany. Let me tell you, Tiffany is the most kind, patient, empathetic, and generous host I have ever worked with. She responds with lightning speed to accommodate our every need even when she is in a different time zone. Not only was she super easy to work with, and great at communicating, her beautiful home made our stay very comfortable. It has everything you ever need for a long stay. The sunroom is perfect for lounging around and looking at scenic view, or if you need to study and work. The kitchen is fully stocked with almost every appliance and tool you need to bake, cook, or grill. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very clean and comfortable. The rooms also have a beautiful view of the brand new park that was built next door. I was also able to walk outside each morning and enjoy a cup of coffee with the phenomenal sunrise, beautiful trees, sounds of the manatee river, and even enjoy a book with the little free library. The back patio also has a nice view of the park and has a big table/chairs/umbrella for a barbecue with friends and family. We also worked with Mike who is the on-sight manager that helped out a ton for any little fixes that we needed during our three months. All in all, this place is perfect and I highly recommend it to anyone needing to stay in Bradenton. I definitely want to come back! 10/10

Summary: Property owner was easy to communicate with every time. Property has been recently maintained and freshened up. The elevated style of the house gives a beautiful view of the Manatee River from the front porch. The back deck is a great place to relax in the evening and watch the abundant wildlife come and go. We enjoyed 21st century amenities in a home over 100 years old! The construction and maintenance of a new city park was not a disturbance inside the home, as the sounds did not carry inside. The afternoon lightning storms were spectacular and the rains were cooling. We will recommend this location and hope to stay again.

Summary: When we pulled into the driveway, the exterior of the cottage didn't appear to be in great shape, but once inside, we were so surprised how nice and updated it was. Granite counters, nice appliances and fully equiped kitchen. The park next door was the biggest draw for us, but unfortunately, the entire park was under construction with no access. The RiverWalk is nice and will be even nicer when connected to the park next to the cottage. The neighborhood around the cottage is a bit shady, but we learned where to walk, which we did every evening without worry. The homes along the river are nice to very gorgeous. If you are a walker, drive out to Robinson Preserve where there are lots of trails and water fowl. It was 5-stars. There are lots of restaurants within a few miles from the cottage. Wilder's pizza is great. We had a lovely lunch at both Mattison's located off the RiverWalk and Pier 22 at the Marina. Tiffany was wonderful to work with when we had a few issues. The output from a couple of the faucets was not the best. The showers were both great. Nice big dishwasher and washer and dryer. Everything worked fine so no complaints. We had a nice stay and when that park is ready, it will be exceptionally nice.

Summary: The Blue Heron was exactly the place for us to stay while we waited for our new house to be completed. It is welcoming, spacious and had everything we needed. We enjoyed summer evenings on the back deck. Bradenton is a great city! So close to Anna Maria Island with its beautiful beaches made it the perfect spot. Coquina Beach was our favorite! Tiffany and Fred are wonderful hosts! We love the Blue Heron and recommend it!

Summary: Loved the house and neighborhood was close to everywhere we visited, close to the waterfront and relaxing, would have loved to have seen it before the developers moved in, but everything changes with time. Highly recommended.

Summary: While I wasn’t in town on vacation and spent most of my time away from property It would have been nice to know ahead of time that there is construction going on next door and across the street. I can say that the homeowner probably wasn’t aware of this. She also was very kind and very responsive with a couple questions I had. I would stay here again (once construction is completed).
