It is always summer-time on Anna Maria Island!

Dolphin Cottage, our "little house" on Anna Maria Island, is a cozy, charming old-Florida home with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms - perfect for a couple or family. It is very close to the beach, with only two other houses between it and our beautiful, un-crowded beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Anna Maria is less than an hour away from 3 major airports: Tampa (TPA), Sarasota (SRQ) and St. Petersburg-Clearwater (PIE). Just a short trip across the Intracoastal Waterway, AMI is easy to get to, and difficult to leave!

The interior of the cottage is pleasantly rustic with knotty cypress paneling on the walls and ceilings. It has a cute, galley-like kitchen where everything is within reach. There is also a gas grill outdoors. A central living & dining room makes up most of the house, with a dining table, sofas & recliners, TV and stereo with CD. There are baskets of games, books and magazines in the living room and bedrooms. There are three bedrooms: one has a queen bed, and the other two each have a twin bed & a full bed. The bathroom recently underwent a well-deserved makeover and now has new ceramic tile on the walls and floor. The half-bath consists of a toilet and shower stall in the garage. There is an outdoor shower also - great for rinsing off the sand and salt!

The beach is a very short walk away. We have many beach chairs, umbrellas & toys. Bicycles are available and you can easily bicycle to the grocery store, other shopping and many great restaurants. There is also a free trolley that runs from north Anna Maria to south Longboat Key (the next island south) and a trolley stop just a short stroll from the cottage.

Dolphin Cottage is pet-friendly. There is a large back yard (no fence.) Dogs are not allowed on the beach, but they can swim at the boat ramp or at the Palma Sola causeway, just a short drive away.

  • Our family just returned from our stay at the Dolphin cottage. It is located in a quiet neighborhood and is a five minute walk to the beach, restaurants, shops and more. The owner was especially accomodating making sure we had enough beds and bicycles for our four teenage children. Thank you for sharing your island cottage!

  • Had a great time at Dolphin cottage with my family. With lots of kids it was nice to have the three bedrooms. It's just a short walk to the beach so there was no need to pack a lunch. Could be back at the cottage in minutes. The cottage has all the amenities of home with LOTS of board games for the kids. Would definitely recommend the cottage for an enjoyable quiet Florida vacation.

  • My family just returned from our vacation at the Dolphin Cottage. It was perfect....fit right into the "Old Florida" feeling you get from being on the island. The location was less than a block from the beach which is a big plus in my book. Very clean and had everything we needed including all sorts of stuff for the beach. Owner was very accomodating. I definately would recommend this property.
