Twin Palms

We enjoyed 5 days at the Twin Palms cottage on Anna Maria Island. The cottage has everything you'll need for rest and relaxation. Feels like a cozy home away from home. Adele and and Crit are wonderful. The Tampa Bay is just at the end of the block and the Gulf beach is a short walk. Beautiful beaches! Beautiful sunsets! The island trolley is super convenient and will take you everywhere you'd want to go on the island. We only used our car once the as the cottage bikes were perfect for exploring. There's a great cafe next door and we really enjoyed the Waterfront restaurant on the bay. If we are lucky we will be back!

Owner response:So enjoyed meeting you both. You have to send me pictures of your creation with the reindeer ears.

A Quiet Gem

My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary in Adele and Crit's charming cottage. Although we spent several days indoors watching Breeder's Cup races, not utilizing amenities such as comfortable bikes, outdoor dining and gas grill, we were delighted with the furnishings, ambiance and genuine warmth of the surroundings and hosts. We lived on the island for 18 months in the late 90's and have revisted 20+ vacations since. This was our first stay at Twin Palms. It quickly became our favorite.

Owner response:Such a thoughtful review - thank-you. See you at the next race?

The cottage is quaint and comfortable. The hosts are like family. This cottage is close to everything on the north end of Anna Maria. Bicycles become the transportation of choice and are provided. Rusty and I cannot wait to visit again in May.

After hours of airport delays, we finally made it to the cottage around 2am. We were so happy to see the inviting lights of the cottage and a comfy bed waiting our arrival! My husband and I spent the most perfect 5 days in the Twin Palms Cottage! The cottage is so sweet and offers everything you need or want for a beach getaway! We loved it and are already planning our return trip for next summer! The owners are so nice and more than willing to share their time and home!! We could not have asked for nicer hosts!! Sven, the kitty greeter, is also a wonderful host and makes you feel like part of the family!! Everything was perfect!!
