Item Description

(Sleeps up to four / Short walk to Gulf beaches)

Twin Palms Writer’s Cottage is a quiet place where you can retreat to write or just plain retreat by yourself, with a friend or spouse. It is the private home of Kathleen Flinn, author of the New York Times bestseller The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry (Viking/Penguin). The house is located on beautiful Anna Maria Island, less than a 5-minute walk to the area’s famed white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen plus a separate “cabinita” with a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom that overlooks a lush tropical backyard studded with palms and highlighted with tropical flowers. Although it’s a small beach home, it has all the necessary modern comforts, including high-speed internet, full cable and front-loading washer/dryer. You’ll be able to use the All Clad pans and help yourself to any of the spices, oils or other goods in the cupboards, and dip into a slice of Kathleen's personal library of cookbooks. The house is one bedroom, but there is a sleeper sofa to accommodate up to four guests.

The package includes one week at the cottage (subject to availability), plus a welcome package of wine, cheese and other gifts. The closest airports are Sarasota-Bradenton and Tampa International. This offer is valid through December 15th, 2016.

Item Special Note

This offer is valid through December 15th, 2016. Dates of stay to be mutually agreed upon by Kathleen Flinn and the winning bidder, based on Twin Palms' availability.
