Sail Away Cottage was built in 1920 — one of the oldest homes on Anna Maria Island — and moved to its current location in Bradenton Beach in the 1980s. The bones and character of a century-old beach cottage are intact. The island-themed updates are throughout. From the elevated position, you can hear the Gulf waves without seeing the water directly — and on a clear day, there's even a peek of the Gulf from the right angle.
One hundred and seventy steps to the sandy beach. That's the walk from the front door to the sand — specific enough to plan around, short enough to make spontaneous beach trips genuinely easy.
The private backyard is the outdoor living space. A heated pool sits in the center, framed by new tropical landscaping that screens the yard from the street. A large deck wraps the pool area — the right setup for morning coffee, afternoon sun, and evening cookouts. An outdoor shower handles post-beach cleanup before coming inside.
Three bedrooms sleep six. Two bedrooms have queen beds. The third bedroom has two twin beds. Two full bathrooms throughout. Flat-screen TVs in all bedrooms and the living room. High-speed WiFi included.
Three-car parking is included — generous for a Bradenton Beach property of this size.
Sail Away Cottage requires a one-week minimum stay. Not pet-friendly.
