We've tried to think of everything to accommodate a few adults up to an extended family or large group of friends. Whether hanging by the pool, taking a walk/bike along the shores of Emerson Point, golfing, heading for the beach or fishing. We really have striven to make this Snead Island Getaway vacation home a wonderful place for a family or extended family to stay. We've maximized the space and
amenities to allow a larger group, which will help make your vacation a very affordable one and a great value for your hard earned dollars. Hopefully the reviews are a testament that we have succeeded. You can fish right from the dock, take your boat, or borrow our kayaks for a short paddle into Terra Ceia Bay. Sea trout, snook, redfish, drum, ladyfish, sheepshead, saltwater catfish are abundant. We have fishing poles and basic tackle for you to use if you don't bring yours. The bait shop is 5 blocks away! Looking for the beach? If you bring your boat you can take it to Anna Maria Island faster than you can drive a car, only about 5 miles across Terra Ceia Bay. Otherwise take the car... its only 6-7 miles, but takes about 20-25 minutes. Right on the tip of Snead Island (Emerson Point Preserve) a 15 minute walk, or a 2 minute drive, is a small beach right where the Manatee river, Terra Ceia Bay and Tampa Bay meet. There are no crashing waves like the nearby beaches, but the water is clear, the sand white and it's a perfect place to watch the sunrise or sunset. This area has bathrooms and places for a picnic. If you want a boat for fishing, cruising, going to the beach, or several waterfront restaurants, we rent our boat under separate agreement!
