Arrival & Safety: Upon arrival, you will receive a 4-digit door code and be asked to review and sign a short waiver for the safety of both guests and the property owner. For safety reasons, please do not bring or burn candles. This 1905 historic home is made of wood.

Fragrance-Free Environment: To maintain a chemical-free space, we kindly ask guests to refrain from using aerosol sprays, colognes, perfumes, or scented body products, as many individuals are sensitive or allergic to common chemicals found in beauty products.

Centrally located, Brown Bunny is just minutes from Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Downtown Bradenton—home to Pier 22, the Downtown Farmers' Market, and the scenic Riverwalk. Nearby attractions include Snead Island, Emerson Point Preserve, Robinson Preserve, and GT Bray Recreational Center, which boasts 20 pickleball courts, yoga classes, and a large gym facility. You’ll also find various Manatee County parks, as well as the vibrant farmers' markets in downtown Bradenton and Sarasota, held every Saturday morning.

For beach lovers, Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach, and Coquina Beach are just a short drive away, with Sarasota’s Lido Key and Siesta Key Beaches also within easy reach. There's no shortage of fun activities to explore in the area! As well as fantastic restaurants and local breweries.

Please note that a friendly young cat resides on the property in a separate wing with the host/owner. While the room is meticulously clean, guests with allergies may want to consider other beautiful accommodations nearby.

Thank you for visiting, and we look forward to welcoming you!

Superb vacation stay

This property is a very cute and exceptionally clean home. It was a perfect location for us. Our host - Geena- was a delight. She was very accommodating as well as being a fantastic baker! I’d recommend this Vrbo to anyone.

Room in home

I booked through VRBO assuming that meant that we would not be living in a house with the owner. The owner was kind and the room we had was very clean but it was not at all what I had expected when booking. There were no baked goods or bakery. It was just a room in a home that we shared with the owner and another guest

Worked for us

We were in town for an Anna Maria Island weekend. Accommodations were comfortable. We were only in the home to shower and sleep. Gina must have allergies or sensitivities as signs requesting no fragrances, shampoo,or spray/perfumes. No tv in the bedroom but tv for your use in a side room off bedroom. Gina respects your privacy.
