Seagrape Cottage with Beach & Sunset Views! in Anna Maria Island

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has unobstructed views of the Gulf of
Mexico. Located at 601 South Gulf Drive in Bradenton Beach on Anna Maria Island, it is a privately owned turn-key furnished “Old Florida
Style” beach house that is shaded by large Seagrape trees.
It has been recently “updated” with new appliances, kitchen and
bathroom cabinets, ceramic tile, carpet and more. Even while
updating, we have tried hard to retain the “beach house” atmosphere.

upstairs in the “cupola” which has windows on all 4 sides that
provide a tree-top view of both the Gulf and Bay. The master bedroom
has a King size bed and lots of storage room. It has its own
television which is connected to cable. The upstairs bath is a full
bath and offers a stall shower.
The two bedrooms downstairs have double beds. Besides the bedrooms,
the ground floor also has a remodeled full bath with tub/shower
combination, a big living/dining area with large windows, a fully
equipped and newly remodeled kitchen with dishwasher, garbage

watching the world go by.
