Waterfront Studio apartment to relax/work on Snead Island, near Bradenton, Fl
Enjoy sitting on your dock on Terra Ceia Bay, on Snead Island, Palmetto, FL. The studio faces East; great for watching the sun rise. There is a 'yoga' platform for stretching or sitting closer to the water looking for fish or watching both land and water birds. Stepping outside your studio apt, there are two seating areas with patio dining tables and chairs with up close and personal views of the bay as well as comfortable couch seating under a covered porch with fans. Emerson Point Nature Reserve is a mile away and includes fishing, observation tower and ancient Indian mounds. Go hiking or use the trails to experience a wide variety of coastal Florida wildlife and habitats. The park is ideal for walking, biking, kayaking & paddle boarding. Bring your own "toys" and launch them here at "your"own dock. Snead Island is considered in the Southern Tampa Bay area, and is near Bradenton, Anna Maria Island and Sarasota. Lots of waterfront restaurants, museum, planetarium, art center, Village of the Arts, Manatee River and its River Walk, beaches, parks, preserves, flea market, brewery tours, fruit farms...so much to do. If you would like to get off the island, we are a close drive to Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Tampa with just a drive over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. We have waterfront and location, location!!! - we are close enough to all the major cities and attractions, but just far enough away to get a break and out of the tourist congestion!

We had a great time during our week in Palmetto! Ginger greeted us when we arrived and introduced us to the amazing property, as well as baked us brownies during our stay. She and John were wonderful hosts, and the property has an amazing sunrise view over the bay. She also told us about nearby attractions including the Manatee Viewing Center, which made our vacation even more enjoyable. We definitely plan to stay here again and highly recommend it.
This was absolutely fantastic stay. The photos don’t do it justice. The hosts are wonderful people. We have a small boat that we were able to use their dock. We have family at the other end of the bay that instead of driving back and forth to, we boated back and forth. It was great fun. To be able to come off the water and be inside a really comfortable room with great a/c was fabulous. The kitchenette was perfect and the bathroom was nicer than my own house. To be able to relax and recharge here was great. For the price it’s a bargain for what we got. Can’t thank the hosts enough for making it a great experience.
