Comfy and cozy 1BR downstairs apt with King sized bed, centrally located for fun
This conveniently located, private apt has its own driveway and separate entrance to a beautiful downstairs unit that is a part of a two story home (Upstairs is completely locked off so neither party can enter the other unit, they can be rented together to accommodate larger parties of 8 total). Located easily accessible to the beaches, restaurants, golf, aquarium, zoo, shopping etc. in the Bradenton, Anna Maria, St. Pete and Tampa areas. You will find everything you need to feel at home in this apt.

Kitchen is well stocked with all dishes, pots and pans, utensils, basic spices, etc. It has a microwave convection oven, 2 burner induction cooktop and even a countertop dishwasher, a Reverse Osmosis water filter system and a full size fridge. If anything is needed send a quick text and I can try to provide what is needed. Bedroom, one step down, is located off the kitchen, there you will find a very comfortable Tempur pedic King size bed, with nightstands, lamps and a full size dresser and large Roku TV for those lazy evenings of watching TV in bed. Located in the back of apt so it's quiet and cool for a good nights sleep. Bathroom has full size walk in shower with body wash and shampoo for your stay. Laundry is shared with us and located in the garage (next to the bedroom) and available for stays of a week or longer.
Parking in your separate private shell drive with privacy fence at the entry, gives you a nice feeling of separation from the rest of the house and guests.

We have a gas griddle/Blackstone you may use in your little courtyard area.

Jenn is an awesome host! She communicates very quickly and clearly. This is a perfect spot for retirees or a small family. Jenn has the kitchen stocked with everything you need to make meals.
Everything exactly as described. Very comfortable, quiet, private. Had everything we needed. Great place for two people. In a residential neighborhood, safe for walking. Short drive to Bradenton LECOM Park for Pirates spring training. Private courtyard for sitting outside in the shade while having morning coffee. Dollar General walkable distance. Check out the Citrus Place just north on 19 for a vanilla/orange juice ice cream twist cone.

Thanks Jane for the great review. We're so glad you enjoyed and yes that's a great recommendation! ☺️
Great ground floor apartment, super clean and quiet. Excellent and very responsive hosts. If in the area again would definitely try to stay here again. Highly recommended for couples.
Apartment was just as stated. Amazing communication by Jenn the host. Very clean, secluded from rest of the property. The bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend staying here.
I have stayed at quite a few places in the area as I come down regularly for work. This has been by far the cleanest, nicest place I have stayed. Communication with the property manager was amazing. She was so quick to respond to any questions. The place had everything you could have needed. Will absolutely stay again anytime the property is available when I come back!
Jennifer & Chris are about as good as it gets when you are talking ‘HOSTS’. Their downstairs apartment is perfect for 2 travelers, it’s squeaky clean, a perfect size, and makes you feel at home. You really don’t want for anything since they have given every detail ‘thought’ as though they were the guest staying there. Kudos you two, we are honored to have made your acquaintance.

It is fortunate that the Property Manager was very kind and prompt at responding to a couple of issues that came up. If that hadn't been the case, we may not have stayed there. The unit was very good, but toilet problems were very disruptive. A plumber was called (quickly) to fix, which he did do after the 2nd call. We weren't thrilled with the Palmetto/Bradenton area.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Ackerland
I am a native Floridian, born and raised in Sarasota, FL. We've been married 34+ years and moved up to the Palmetto area to escape the craziness of Sarasota, It is a calmer and a more quaint town here. We love the central location. We have a son who lives in NY with his wife and we love to visit. Our vacation rentals aid in our volunteer construction and ministry we engage in. Being able to work less secularly and able to be available for others gives us much joy. I also know ASL and interpret in the deaf community. We have a happy and fulfilling life.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood is generally quiet, a working class family neighborhood brings a feel of community, you'll see people out walking in the evenings and on their golf carts. You'll get a nice smile and a wave even though they don't know you. We look out for each other. It's also a boating community setting on Terra Ceia Bay. A nice walk in the evenings will most of the time bring a beautiful sunset that lights up the sky. A different show every night.
What makes this property unique
Our property consists of a two story Key West style house. That means upstairs is a complete home by itself. Downstairs is our apt that we also started to recently rent out when we are gone. It's completely separate, you may hear some commotion upstairs but no more than a regular downstairs apt. We've enjoyed living here for over 5 years and find it very cozy yet feels spacious. Since we are gone a lot in our RV, we stay in that over the winter months and when home, we're parked on the far other side of the property in our cozy little home on wheels. It's easier than moving in and out of it all season and we have our quiet little area that's private as well.
