About this house rental
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 and looks out at a beautiful horse ranch. Walking out your back door, continue down the drive 250 ft onto a 100 ft dock to lounge, watch for dolphins and enjoy the sun setting on the Manatee River. 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. Tie up at the 100 ft dock for small boats. 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.
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 America. 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.

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.
