Condo In Paradise: West Bradenton, by Gulf beaches (#35171)

Bradenton, Florida
 

Description of the Bradenton vacation condo rental

Perfect Seasonal Retirement Getaway!
(Note: Currently rented through August, 2010)

Location Location: This lovely condo sits on high ground in west Bradenton surrounded by long lawns and beautiful trees, set in from area streets with a small interior lake. Lovely private pool & jacuzzi have privacy bushes surrounding & separate pool-shower building. Some social events optional (ex: pool coffee party, pot luck, etc. with nice neighbors). This condo is near to the pool and a very quiet place, with lovely sunsets streaming in the lanai. The condo is decorated in classical non-Florida style, with colonial and Scandinavian design elements. Furnishings are next-to-new and high-quality. NOT standard rental! Immaculate and divine.

Interior: Front hall leads to eat-in-for-2 kitchen on left, second bedroom /home office on right. Long living room with dining buffet and 'pub' table seating. Kitchen has cute pass-through area to pub table dining area. Living room has a 'shelf wall' with TV & DVD/CD combo-player. Master bedroom windows face the lawn and porched lanai to the west. Interior light? Kitchen has east-facing morning light. Living room has cathedral ceiling with skylight.

The master bedroom is a lovely large room with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a trundle-day bed (two twin mattresses) and a home-office station. Bath has a shower-tub combo. Both bedrooms have large walk-in closets. Cable internet can be arranged at renter's cost, as well as national or international phone packages. Includes local phone, cable TV.

Kitchen is extra-equipped in chef & Scandinavian style. One carport spot 15-20 feet from door. Main rooms have off-white wall-to-wall carpeting. Hall and baths have throw rugs. (No garage and no 'workroom'...sorry, guys.) Discover this paradise spot near beaches and shopping, both.

The Community: This is part of a 'senior' condo community with quiet cheerful residents and much space. One tenant must be 55 or older. Requesting to rent to one couple who expect only occasional guest(s). A $100 non-refundable application fee to the Condo Association is part of the association-required approval process: this is a formality, but assures that this development is available only to credit-worthy and non-criminal renters and buyers - a very safe, happy and returning group of wonderful owners and seasonal renters. This fee is a one-time fee; returning renters do not need to re-apply.

Preferred minimum rental is 3 months. Condo can be rented a maximum of 4 times each year.

What happened to past renters? Answer: Some just bought their own place in this development, they loved it so much. Others wanted a garage for work-projects or more space for children (condo association has child-limits).

What do I do if I want to rent your place? First, check the CALENDAR - under the "Availability" tab. That will show you when it is already booked. Then, check back another time if you are interested in other dates, or contact us to make a future plan. (Noting: Winter season renters have first choice for the next season.) Best wishes!

Area Description

The immediate surroundings are like a large park, with long lawns with lovely palms and other deciduous trees, flowering bushes and plants, quiet and peaceful.

Ride a bike to the bay in 5 minutes, or drive to Anna Maria Island in 10-15 minutes. This seems the most perfect location in town! Several reasons: Five minutes to 4 major groceries & nearby shopping strips - without ever entering Cortez or Manatee Avenues. 10-15 minutes to beaches on Anna Maria Island with their stunning white sands. Additionally, this is located across from a huge park, G.T. Bray Park, with its Olympic lap pool, softball, soccer & football games, tennis, walking and running paths and beautiful trees. 5 minutes to major medical at Blake Hospital. 5 minutes to YMCA on 59th. Right on the bus line which heads both east towards shopping malls or west to the beaches. This is also a 'never-evacuated' area, across 59th Street from the Red Cross's area office, and our condo is a middle-unit with permanent residents on both sides.

Fly into Tampa and get to our place in 45-50 minutes. Fly into Sarasota and get here in 20-25 minutes.

Lunch on Longboat Key, St. Armand's Circle, taking the Gulf road: 20-25 minutes. Going to Ellenton to shop: 25 minutes on 301. Public library: 15 minutes by car, 20 by bike. Biking central Bradenton? This is your perfect starting place.

Other Vacation Rental Amenities

Location: This place is nice to go to and from as there are stop lights that permit entry from 29th at both main street ends, 59th and 75th. Many area condo developments front busy roads with no stoplights, making entering and exiting more dangerous and stressful, as well as more noisy. Nice stores and restaurants in the near vicinity.
Generally: This area is a '+55 senior community.' Not suitable for children, generally, and child-visiting restrictions do exist; please inquire if desired.
