Cottage vacation rentals in Bradenton

Everything was LOVELY! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed, much appreciated! The home was super clean and peaceful. The pool was warm and clean ... the shower outside was amazing! Our stay was truly amazing and peaceful ... a home away from home.

The cottage was immaculately clean and comfortable. It was stocked with everything you would need such as kitchen necessities, toiletries, extra towels and beach items. The pool was beautiful and even lit up at night. It is a three minute walk to the beach and some of the bars and restaurants. It is a very quiet neighborhood. The host was extremely nice and responsive with everything. We would stay there again. And I loved the free library out front. I left a book in there ☺️If you are thinking about renting this cottage, you definitely should, you won't be disappointed.

John’s place was great! Walking distance to the pool and beach! We really enjoyed our time! Thanks John!

Cute little place! There were 3 adults and my toddler with and it was just enough room. The pool was great and the little shelf in it was perfect for my son to play on. Overall it was a great location with lots of stuff close by. The only thing I will say is the seal on the fridge suctions very well and made it hard to open at times.

Absolutely perfect! Lori is so kind and thoughtful. The house was perfect for my 4 yo Son and I. Walkable to beach &pool (beach supplies provided by the host were fabulous!) A yard so my son could play outside while I was BBQing dinner. An absolutely perfect holiday made even better with this house and gracious host. Lori allowed us to drop our bags early so we could go and explore the first day and was very flexible with our departure. I know that’s not always possible when juggling guests but I really appreciated that she went above and beyond to make our holiday perfect.

It was just what we were looking for and was just perfect for our visit. Not too much space, but still spacious. It had the privacy we wanted but still so close to everything without the cost of a gigantic place. And beautifully decorated. Felt all new. Pool was fantastic. And so close to the beach without the price of being on the water.

We arrived at night days late due to flight cancellations from home weather. Ashley and Josh were very understanding and welcoming. They were responsive and kind throughout our stay. Their daughter showed our kids around the property and shared her toys, making everyone feel welcome. The back house was comfortable, clean, and well stocked. The area is beautiful and we felt very safe with our small children. We enjoyed walks to feed the cows, playing with the dogs, finding frogs, watching lizard play, listening to birds, dipping out feet in the pool, and collecting eggs from the chickens. The location was convenient for getting to many locations in and around Tampa.

I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in Siesta Key! The place was super clean, cozy, and just a short walk from the beach. The host was very responsive and made check-in a breeze. Loved the little touches like beach chairs and towels provided. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway—would definitely stay her again

I’ve found my new favorite staycation spot and where I will enthusiastically recommend to friends and family visiting the area. The space was thoughtfully designed, clean, and comfortable. I will miss my morning coffee on the patio amongst all the plants and birds, my daily work sessions in the small quiet office, and the evening dips in the hot tub. Thanks for your thoughtfulness in creating this space!

Everything was perfect! Absolutely beautiful!

Craig was an amazing host - extremely accommodating, helpful and proactive! As for Kiwi Cottage, it was everything our family could ask for and more. The kids loved the hot tub and pool, while all of the restaurants and beaches were a short distance away (highly recommend renting the golf cart!). Such an amazing vacation. We can’t wait to return!

Great stay for our family! The home is very clean and decorated with a beachy, fun vibe! Great bathroom, comfy beds and lots of places to hang out! The dryer was very helpful with wet towels and beach gear was great. Our favorite part of the home was the backyard. The plunge pool was so fun and we loved the game room and golf. Private yard and we enjoyed the birds over coffee each morning! Recommend for any family!

Anna was extremely helpful and accommodating for our last-minute trip with the kids. Her place was super cute and very clean and well kept and we would be happy to recommend it to friends and family or return ourselves. Thank you so much, Anna!

Ame is a wonderful host! This is the cutest little house, stocked with everything you might need for a stay in sunny Florida! Clean as a whistle, too. Location was perfect, groceries, the beach, pizza and shopping all close by.

Great private stay a block from the beach and two blocks from the village. The area is very walkable for things to do and eat. If you’re looking for a honeymoon, anniversary or getaway spot this is perfect! And the hot tub is a nice touch.

Madeline impeccably restored the cottage post hurricanes. Her home has everything we needed for a wonderful family vacation. Access to the beach is nearby. The back yard has amenities galore. Perfect!

Place and location were great! And host was super communicative. It is small but that is expected based on the listing information. Would definitely go back!

The house was very nice, not huge, but very accurate with what the pictures showed, and it was actually a lot brighter inside than I expected based on the pictures. Everything was clean and with 5 people, there was plenty of space. They provided beach chairs and an umbrella which was wonderful. We also used the grill which we enjoyed having access to. The only thing we would recommend is more pots/pans/serving bowls, etc. for use in the kitchen - that was a little lacking. Otherwise, communication with the host was outstanding. We had a couple of minor issues that were resolved immediately. They let us check in early and stay late based on our schedule and the fact that no one was coming in behind us. Finally, the location is awesome - right across the street from the beach with easy beach access. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this house.

I only stayed a short few nights, but the place was wonderful. The day of my check-in Lori had contacted me to let me know I could check-in early if I pleased, which was very helpful to me. She had many suggestions on things to do in the area with all the information you would need. I loved just how close it was to the beach and some wonderful restaurants, all only a short walk away. The place was very clean and had everything I needed. Can’t say enough great things about it, it’s not surprising to see it’s booked up far in advance!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Canopy Cottage. This was our second year staying and loved it even more. Jami is an excellent host. We loved being close to the Legacy Trail to ride bikes and the sort drive to Siesta Key Beach! Would definitely stay again.

Had a nice stay at the Grouper Cottage. Cozy, clean cottage. We didn’t spend a lot of time inside. We spent our mornings on the covered deck with chairs and a couch overlooking the bay with jumping fish, birds, boats, and dolphins. Kids fished from the main dock. The bikes, paddle boards, and beach supplies were nice and we used all of them. We also took advantage of the shared fire pit on a couple of the cooler nights. The island was less than a 10 minute bike ride across the Cortez bridge and around a 20 minute walk. Took us 25 minutes to walk to Bridge St. The drive is short if the bridge isn’t backed up. There are also a couple of good restaurants in Cortez that we enjoyed and that were within a 10 minute walking distance (Tide Tables, Swordfish Grill, Cortez Cafe to name a few). Overall we enjoyed our stay and all the property had to offer for a quiet getaway away from the busy island, but close enough to still enjoy.

This was the best Airbnb we have stayed at!!!! We travel alot for basketball and this was a favorite for all 9 of us. The house felt so cozy and decor was amazing. Krista was so generous and flexible with the check in/out times and process. The outside was so relaxing and peaceful, along with so much to do. We will be back!!!

Doug was a great host! He was very quick to respond to every message. Cottage was very comfortable. Slept great on super comfy beds and quiet neighborhood.

Amazing hosts! Very clear and prompt communication. The house had everything we needed and additional items were provided to keep our baby comfortable. I was so excited they provided beach supplies and we put it all to use!
