Newly furnished with very clean & comfortable bedrooms, living room, dining room, newly remodeled full kitchen with granite counters, attached laundry room & a screened, enclosed veranda. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and back entrance is wheelchair accessible. Continue down the shell drive 250 ft from your back door onto a 100 ft dock to lounge, watch for dolphins and enjoy the sun setting on the Manatee River. A 35 foot boat slip is also available for a small additional fee, water & elec provided. Just to the right of the dock, is a small private Tiki and white sand beach, for swimming, kayaking or just relaxing in the lounge chairs, under a beautiful mangrove tree.

We had the best time at Bev and Len’s piece of paradise! The cottage was so comfortable and had everything we needed, it was perfect for us and our dog. Fishing and watching sunsets on the dock were great and the tiki is beautiful. We loved visiting with Len and Bev every day, we felt so welcomed, we will definitely be back!!
The tiki got a new roof while we were there, so interesting to watch it go on.
The dock has chairs, couches, table, fish cleaning table, live bait well, literally everything!
Finally caught that snook! He’s waiting for the next guest to catch. Hint - use a live pin fish.
We all loved the view from the dock.

We were looking for a low-key, centrally located property,, that we could bring our two rather large dogs, both about 80lbs. This property fit the bill perfectly. We had a relaxing stay and were able take the dogs for multiple walks at Emerson Point and enjoy the local area for small day trips.

We enjoyed our stay. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Close to everything. We wished the dock wasn’t blocked by big boats so fishing would have been better. Host was very responsive.

We loved the cottage, especially the beach and dock. My 2 little dogs got to go play on the beach area and we saw crabs, dolphins and a stingray! It was a wonderful vacation. We loved talking with Len! Thanks a lot!!

A little slice of heavan

The cottage layout was the perfect match for us. The cottage is a bit older and is showing its age. There are some cracked tiles and settling cracks in the walls but none of that is a deal breaker. The layout is perfect for a family of four. My kids shared the one bedroom with the two beds, it was perfect. Kitchen is nicely appointed with plently of pots,pans,dishes,silerware ect. Plenty of towels and such. The outside is the real treasure. We fished everday over our 7 days and caught 13 different species of fish, a fishemans dream! The tiki bar area is so cool and dock sitting area was perfect for dolphin watching. We kayaked with the supplied equipment and got some lovely views of the surrounding area. Bev was a wonderful host, very attentive and just a lovely person. The property being pet friendly was great. Our pups enjoyed the salt air and beach area as well. We would love to stay again.

Nice weekend stay.

We enjoyed our stay. The host was spot on with check in and check out. Nice clean cottage but FYI the owners are on property. Honestly we never saw them. The Tiki bar is the place to be. If you fish this is the spot, snook everywhere under the dock. We will probably go back with friends.

Paradise in Florida

The property is in excellent shape and in a wonderful location on the Manatee River, just a few steps from the Dock, Tiki, and the water. It was so pleasant to see that Snead Island is still a peaceful place without the hustle and bustle of nearby Bradenton. I would recommend it to anyone ! This was my second year in a row visiting and the hosts (Bev and Len) were absolutely the greatest and so, very friendly. I look forward to yet another stay in the months to come !

Nice property on the Manatee River with a dock and kayaks that are available for free use. Emerson Point Preserve is beautiful with hiking/biking trails and lots of birds. Everyone was very friendly. Lots of dogs on site since the owners rescue dogs.

Very quaint and private.

Unfortunately the island had been devastated by Hurricane Helene. I am originally from this area, I expected what I saw on the island. With that said, the cottage was perfect for me and my pups! Bev was great to communicate with. I will definitely stay here again! This area is resilient, as it always has been. I will always support locals. I can’t wait to see how beautiful it will be on my next trip

Spring Getaway

This property was everything that I expected and I had a wonderful time. The Hosts were very, very friendly as well. Everything in the property listing was accurate, the scenery was wonderful and the Cottage was perfect (and in a perfect location for me). I needed some time away from my regular day-to-day activities and this gave me a place to simply relax and enjoy all that the gulf coast of Florida has to offer. Thanks for your hospitality! I would definitely wish to stay at this property again either later this year or next Spring!
