Rare! Adorable Cottage on Snead Island, Fish Dock,Tiki & Bch 250 ft. away. Pets

Snead Island is surrounded by the Manatee River & Tampa Bay & connected to the city of Palmetto by a small bridge. Fish for sea bass, snapper, snook & grouper in the river as well as in the Tampa Bay & Gulf of Mexico.

This adorable Snead Island cottage is nestled on 2 beautiful acres of majestic oaks, orange trees & coconut palms at the opening of the Tampa Bay. The front yard has beautiful southern Oak trees. 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.

The outside world of shopping, grocery stores, malls & waterfront restaurants are all within a 15 minute drive.

Beautiful 365 acre Emerson Point Preserve Beach Park is withing walking or bike riding distance on the island. There are bike trails, nature & birding trails, a canoe & kayak launch, white sandy beaches for swimming, fishing, picnic tables, barbecues, restrooms and a tower climb for an incredible view of the sunshine skyway bridge and gulf of Mexico. Pets on leashes are welcome in the park and on the beach for swimming. A great place to unwind and feel like you've stepped back in time.

Visit Sarasota cultural center, world renowned St. Armand's Circle; less than 1/2 hour to St. Petersburg and the retail shops at Bay Walk; under an hour to the excitement of downtown Tampa: or 1.5 hours to Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal and MGM Studios. Seafood festivals and many other fun activities happen weekly in Palmetto and just across the bridge in Bradenton. We also have an additional lovely property you might be interested in, VRBO. #810385 Waterfront apartment.

Great Hosts!
We had a wonderful time at the cottage on Snead Island! It is certainly the most dog friendly place we have ever stayed. Len, Beverly and Smiley Miley are fabulous hosts and we couldn’t have felt more welcome and at home.

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!

Hidden Gem
We loved this property. - peaceful and quiet, wonderful hosts, and beautiful surroundings. We really loved enjoying a glass of wine in the “tiki hut”, watching the boats go by. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great Trip to Snead Island
The location is fabulous. It is a short walk on the property to the water's edge where there is a dock and a tiki to relax in. It was our go to place for wine at night. There is a preserve near by that is perfect for people and dogs. There are great walking trails, even in the shade, which is perfect for a dog in the summer heat.

Awesome stay!
Great cottage with LOTS of room to relax. We loved the peacefulness of this place, and as a “jumping off” point for activities north or south (we LOVE Anna Maria Island). Even took the kayaks out on the river for a sunset paddle. Comfortable bed, great A/C, well appointed kitchen. Loved having our morning coffee out on the screened porch, and our evening beverage on the dock. Would definitely stay again.

Great Four Days!
I spent four days here with my dad and truly had an amazing time. Even though I misunderstood the property arrangement Bev made sure I was able to have my 81 year old father on the water with an amazing view! Everyone was super nice and very accommodating and I felt we left with new friends!!

Snead Island Cottage
We had a wonderful time at this Snead Island cottage. The hosts who live on the property are very accommodating! It is also very dog friendly. We would drive half way, and then walk our dog to the point of Emerson Preserve every day. It is in a very quiet area. We hated to leave this little piece of paradise. It started to feel like home, and we would go back in a heartbeat.1

Excellent home on the Manatee river
This rental was just great, clean, comfortable, very well equiped, with a short walk to a beautiful dock and view of the Manatee river. The owners live nearby and are very friendly and responsive to all your needs. Dog friendly. You'll occasionally share the dock with others but theres plenty of room for all. Tiki hut is really nice and well equiped. I recommend this property.

Tired property, Nice host, Great location
Unfortunately, we had several issues with this tired property, The home owners who live on the property tried to remedy the situation unfortunately we had to leave 5 days ahead of our scheduled departure. They were nice enough to refund us. The Tiki bar was nice and shared with several friendly renters. The dock was nice but unfortunately so many dock lines and full slips made it difficult to fish off of. FYI no dishwasher. My mistake for not catching it on listing.

Great for kids
We enjoyed the property, particularly fishing off the dock, playing in the river, and our kids playing in the yard. Great quiet location except the dog that barked incessantly from the owner's back porch every time we walked down to the dock. The place was a short drive to our friends house on Holmes beach and we loved exploring the area. Anna Maria Island is gorgeous. The house is well appointed except for washcloths. The circulation in the old house isnt the best and there are signs of mold in the bath and kitchen. We had a great time especially with the kids and really enjoyed our stay. Thanks for sharing the property!
