Perfect little cottage!

I came to Bradenton for a class at the Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine. The cottage was a half mile walk from the cottage so I could walk to class and even go back for my lunch break. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Pam was so easy to work with and very responsive to messages. If I ever come back to Bradenton, I hope the cottage is available!

Loved the Tiny Cottage

We were located between friends and lots of activities. Beach, museums, theatre, music, great restaurants. Cottage was clean. Very well furnished. Great kitchen utensils, fridge, stove, coffee maker toaster. Proximity to airport was not an issue for us. Owner was very responsive to one issue. Forgot to mention great laundry. Nice little patio on back.
