About this property
The Palms - Manatee Riverfront Retreat With dockage.
"The Palms" is a tranquil riverside retreat featuring an amazing view of the Manatee River, massive tiki hut and dock on a palm studded property.
Bring the BOAT! There is dockage for up to a 35' boat. There is plenty of good fishing, restaurants and sand bars out there. While you are right on the river, you are just blocks to restaurants, marinas, shopping, beautiful parks, tennis and basketball courts. The Riverwalk, Anna Maria Island and St. Pete Beaches are a short distance away. And we provide everything you will need for a beach day. Our home is in a historic established area along the river with tree lined sidewalks perfect for walks, running or biking.
The gourmet kitchen features a 6 burner gas stove, high end appliances, WINE FRIDGE, massive island with prep sink and is well equipped with everything you could need - just grab the groceries. The cooking will be done with an expansive view of the water. For those big family meals, the dining room table can seat up to 16 people comfortably.
The home has an open concept with beautiful views from all living areas. The living room boasts an 85" TV with theatre system and reclining leather sofas for movie nights. In the family room off the kitchen you will find big leather chairs perfect for reading, enjoying the fountain and birds right outside or catching that nap.
The whole second story is a pool/game room with pool table, large screen TV, bar, gaming table and games. This can also be used as a bunk room for the kids as it is stocked with 4 cots, sleeping bags and bedding. There are French doors leading to a balcony with Adirondack chairs to relax and watch the river.
Of course the best part of this home is the attached, massive tiki hut! Enjoy relaxing on the large sofa sectional or dining at the table and tiki bar with a TV for those games. For those guys there is an outdoor kitchen for grilling with a huge gas grill, Green Egg grill/smoker and commercial ice maker.
There is plenty of privacy to be had as the bedrooms are split. There are 2 master suites (both have TVs) and 3 additional bedrooms. One bedroom is set up with an office should someone in the party need to "be connected". One room has a crib if needed.
There is high speed WIFI throughout the home and all TVs are "Smart". Unlike many vacation homes, our home is well appointed with everything you could need for your stay such as plenty of linens, towels, paper products, basic kitchen essentials (spices, coffee, filters, etc.), toiletries and cleaning supplies. Just pack the suitcase and grab some groceries.
If this property is booked for when you want to stay check out my other property.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Gregg or Lori Bittner

We are originally from Minnesota but were blessed to move down here in 1990 so are more Floridian than anything else. We enjoy cruising around on "A New Hattitude", our 53' Hatteras when our homes have guests. Most of our children and grandchildren live close by so our guests are well attended to when we are traveling. After living full time on our boat in the FL Keys for 8 years we are very have to be back in this area full time now and prepared to help with any suggestions or recommendations to make your stay relaxing, full and memorable.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this home the minute we walked in and you will too. From the moment you walk in the front door you see right through to the river. You will be drawn right through to the amazing river view and fountain, then you see the massive tiki hut and pristine pool - relaxation in the first two minutes of your arrival. Every inch of this home has been furnished and decorated for your physical AND mental relaxation. The outdoor areas and gardens just add to that sensation. Total tranquility.
What makes this property unique
The home's design offers very private and tranquil bedrooms and suites. There are three separate living areas for families and large groups can spread out to enjoy their own activities, yet living areas large enough when you want to be all together. The living room is set up with a home theater for family movie nights. For those families who tend to all gather in the kitchen, well this is that huge kitchen for you.
The back tiki area has plenty of room to spread out as well since most of your time will be out there for sure. You have an entertainment center to watch the game while lounging or in the pool. There is an outdoor kitchen and multiple dining areas. Fishing off the huge dock and docking for up to 2 boats.
