Palma Rosa - Bradenton

Welcome to Palma Rosa! Embrace the tropical lifestyle in this clean and updated home with a private screened pool and covered dining/lounge area with a 58" outdoor TV! The interior of the home is bright and spacious with cheerful coastal decor, and nearly every room flows directly to the pool. The layout is comfortable with lots of room to relax, a garage game room, spacious bedrooms, and a fully stocked kitchen. Gas grill, pool floats, beach gear, and towels are provided. Explore this popular area with quick access to Anna Maria Island's beaches, IMG academy, Premier Sports Campus, parks, shopping, grocery stores, and boat launches! We have tried to provide everything you need for the perfect vacation, so you can just hop on a plane or in the car with your clothes and swimsuit.

The floor plan of this home is open and inviting, and centers around the swimming pool and outdoor space. Everything you need for a day of relaxing, including pool floats, sun loungers, gas grill, and patio furniture is included. The backyard faces a small lake that brings tropical bird and wildlife watching opportunities. You will love sitting outside with your morning coffee and watching the sunrise! The garage has a ping-pong table, dart board, and foosball table for extra fun when you need a break from the sun.

The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and entertaining with new granite countertops and full-sized stainless appliances, an extra beverage fridge, and all the dishes, pots and pans, and utensils you need. A drip and Keurig coffee maker, french press, hand mixer, blender, toaster, and microwave are provided. With counter stools for 4, a dining table with seating for 6, and a patio table outside, there is plenty of seating options for meals.

The living room is the perfect place to relax after a long day of fun, with a huge cozy sectional, electric fireplace, and Roku TV.

The split bedroom floor plan is ideal for families, multiple couples, or snowbirds who want to invite the grandkids for a visit. The primary bedroom has a king bed and large sliding doors that flow right out to the swimming pool. There is a large en-suite bathroom with a walk-in tile shower, double sinks, and a soaking tub. The second and third bedrooms are on the other side of the house. One has a king bed with a large closet and sliding door access to the pool. The other has sleeping space for four with a twin and full bed, plus twin trundle bed. Guests love that the 2nd bathroom opens directly to the pool so you won't have water tracked throughout the house. There is also a queen sofa sleeper in the living room for additional sleeping space.

Amenities and Extras: Included for our guests to use are a gas grill, washer and dryer, board games, and beach gear (toys, umbrella, coolers and towels). Guests are welcomed to the home with a few samples of local coffee and hotel-sized toiletries. Laundry pods, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, and toilet paper are included. Extra supplies may need to be purchased by guest depending on amount of use/length of stay.

POOL INFORMATION:
- The pool at this home is kept at 80 degrees during the cold months and can be heated upon request to 86 degrees for an additional $30/night. This is used to cover our energy costs, and is charged as an extra fee in order to keep our nightly rate low for guests who choose not to use the pool. It is highly recommended to heat the pool if you plan to swim October-May, as while 80 is an acceptable swimming temperature, 86 is much more comfortable for spending extended time in the pool. Please let us know in advance if you would like the pool heated, as it can take 12-24 hours to warm up and we want you to be able to enjoy it for your entire stay! Keep in mind that 86 degrees is a comfortable swimming temperature, but will not feel like a hot tub.
- In order to maintain the temperature, if you choose to heat the pool, you will be charged for each night of your stay. Cold temperatures may impact the pool heater's ability to maintain the desired temperature. No refunds will be offered due to weather conditions or other factors outside of our control.
- While we do have a professional service that regularly cleans and maintains the pool, we do not offer 24/7 pool maintenance you may find at a resort or hotel. It may be necessary to use the provided net and remove debris or other things that may fall into the pool before use just as a homeowner would.
- Please note that there is not a safety fence or alarms separating the pool from the home, so additional supervision of young children will be required.
- Absolutely NO GLASS allowed in the pool or pool deck. We provide a variety of plastic glasses, dishes, and travel mugs for you to use. Evidence of glass in or around the pool area will result in loss of security deposit . Charges for additional maintenance above the security deposit, or lost future income, will be charged to the card on file, as the pool will need to be drained and cleaned to ensure the safety of our future guests.

***The pet fee for this home is $150 per dog under 30 pounds. Larger dogs may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Dogs must be disclosed at time of booking and up-to-date with all shots and vaccines. It is the responsibility of the pet owner to clean up all pet waste promptly and clean up pet hair and messes inside the home. Pets are not allowed on the bedding, furniture, or in the pool, and should not be left unattended in the home unless kenneled. Undisclosed pets will result in an automatic additional $300 cleaning fee. Additional pet damage or cleaning costs due to not following the above rules will be billed to the guest.

A Note About Cameras and Recording Devices:
There is a Ring Doorbell facing the front entrance/driveway to the home. It records audio/video and is motion activated. A NoiseAware device monitors noise levels in the pool area. These devices are not actively monitored but are used as a safety measure for the guest and the host.
