About this property
1925 Historic Bradenton Bungalow, convenient to downtown and Anna Maria Island!
Step back in time and experience the charm of our lovingly restored 1925 bungalow, nestled in the heart of the Historic Bradenton River District. Just one mile from vibrant downtown Bradenton and a short drive to the powdery white sands of Anna Maria Island, this cozy retreat is perfectly situated for both relaxation and adventure.
Our home is thoughtfully stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Enjoy the convenience of a full kitchen with pantry essentials, coffee and tea, plush bath towels, and curated toiletries. We also provide beach chairs, towels, a cooler, and even a grill and smoker with tools for laid-back cookouts. A washer/dryer, hair dryer, and iron are available for your convenience.
Hop on a bike or take a short drive to explore downtown Bradenton, the scenic Riverwalk, and the colorful Village of the Arts—all offering fantastic dining and unique local shops. Sports lovers will appreciate being close to IMG Academy and McKechnie Field (LECOM Park), home of spring training baseball. Nature enthusiasts can explore nearby preserves like Robinson Preserve, with miles of trails, kayaking, and yoga at The Nest. Several public-access golf courses, tennis, and pickleball courts are also just minutes away.
And when it’s time to unwind, the beautiful beaches and laid-back coastal towns of Anna Maria Island are only 15 minutes away.
We love sharing our special place and look forward to hosting you soon!

About the host
Hosted by Karen
As a native of Bradenton, I spent my childhood soaking up the sun and sand on the stunning beaches of Anna Maria Island or playing on the playground at the nearby Lewis Park. James, originally from Belfast, Ireland, and I crossed paths there, and we’re now excited to be splitting time between Northern Ireland and sunny Florida in the near future. We can't wait to share this slice of paradise with you and look forward to hosting you soon!
Why they chose this property
We chose our 1925 cottage in the Historic River District because it offered the perfect blend of charm, convenience, and connection to nature. Just a mile from downtown Bradenton, we loved being close to local shops, restaurants, and the riverwalk—while still enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of a tree-lined, historic neighborhood. A short drive takes us to the breathtaking trails of Robinson Preserve and the sugar-sand beaches of Anna Maria Island. This home felt like the perfect place to slow down, stay inspired, and feel rooted in Florida’s natural beauty and history.
What makes this property unique
What makes this home truly unique is its timeless character paired with all the comforts of a well-loved retreat. Original Heartwood Pine floors, classic craftsman trim, high ceilings, and a vintage clawfoot tub evoke the beauty of a bygone era. The private backyard offers a peaceful place to relax, while thoughtful touches—like provided beach chairs and towels, essential pantry and bathroom items, and all the creature comforts of home—ensure a stay that’s as effortless as it is memorable. It’s a place where history meets hospitality in the heart of the Historic River District.
