Myakka City, Florida
Tucked away on a quaint little farm just east of Bradenton, 15 minutes to shopping, and 45 minutes to the beach is the perfect, affordable getaway. Combining the old Florida feel with a fresh, tropical flair, you will love all this vacation rental has to offer. You will feel like you are home the minute you enter this adorable studio guest home boasting a full kitchen/living area, full bathroom with shower, and queen sized bed. This studio "barnominium" sits atop the cleanest barn in Florida that's home to two mini donkeys and two mini horses, as well as 20 chickens, 3 rabbits and 3 dogs (gopher tortoises and duck families are a bonus as well). Fresh eggs will be delivered to your door upon request, courtesy of our happy hens. Sit on your balcony and gaze across the pond stocked with fresh fish, out onto the farm view. Had a bad day Snuggle one of our sweet donkeys, always ready to make you happy (and them too). From the beamed ceilings to the peace and quiet that your tourist traps can't provide, you will never want to leave. Welcome to your home away from home!
Great spot. Animal friends abound, but don’t disturb. Perfect for my needs.
This peaceful family farm and genuine kind host and a surreal environment was so peaceful. so amazing a couple of kittens or ponies or maybe chickens always came by to say hello everyday.I will always want to stay here when i come to Florida .
I truly enjoyed staying on the farm, and the fresh eggs were superb
Everything was amazing and we had a lovely stay! The animals were super cute and the place was very clean. Paul and Maureen were both very accommodating as well, we had some scheduling conflicts and couldn't check-in until fairly late but they were super nice about it, and during our stay they were very quick and responsive to our questions and requests.
Great place away from it all! Great communication with owners. Will be back!
Excellent experience, great location, peaceful and definetly a place I would stay again, and again, and again.
Maureen and Paul’s apartment was well equipped, clean and comfortable. We so enjoyed the mini horses, donkeys and chickens . Property is fully fenced which allows the animals to roam where they please . The minis often greeted us at the apartment steps looking for a pet or a scratch behind their ears . Being an animal lover , I so enjoyed interacting with them . Very quiet and peaceful setting. Loved sitting out on the balcony watching the ponies . Maureen is very responsive and a pleasure to talk with . Thoroughly enjoyed our stay .
The intriguing animals on this farm make it a one of a kind gem. We were even greeted with a dozen colorful fresh eggs from their hens. Inside the place was clean and nicely decorated. The hosts were very responsive and pleasant.
We had so much fun! Super relaxing! Wonderful hosts! Can’t wait to go back!
Really enjoyed our stay. Quiet, rural setting. Very private. Excellent hosts! Hope to stay again in the future.
The house is a beautiful spacious studio. Comfortable bed, relaxing furniture, and a kitchen with everything you need to make great meals. The deck overlooks a pond with turtles, birds, and horses. Great place to have morning coffee or *wine* down the day with a great sunset. Great central location to many hiking trails, kayaking spots, an adventure park, and a short drive to beaches or the city. Maureen was very accommodating and quickly responsive. She let us interact with the animals which was a real joy. Honestly this is one of the most enjoyable places I’ve stayed in the past 10 years. Also great for a workcation as it had a desk and fast Internet. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
This was a wonderful location and very fairly priced. Paul and Maureen are excellent and attentive hosts! It was such a relaxing environment in the country. You're not in the congestion of downtown Sarasota, yet it's just a 30 to 45 minute drive, depending on where you're going. Loved being greeted daily by the animals and the fresh eggs were certainly the best we have ever had. Highly recommended.
We enjoyed ourselves very much.
It was awesome !!
