2027 SEASON IS NOW OPEN FOR BOOKING.
JANUARY AND APRIL OF 2027 ARE NOW AVAILABLE.

THE COTTAGE SURVIVED BOTH HURRICANES.
The cottage has been freshened up with new flooring, new trim, paint and updated furniture. You will love the new look.

The cottage is about 400ft from the Beautiful Gulf of Mexico, yet it is tucked into a very quiet neighborhood. Publix (Grocery) is 1 mile north; Bridge Street is 1 mile south. Take the free trolley to dinner and walk back to the cottage on the beach while watching a sunset.

This is a PRIVATE residence. THE COTTAGE SITS ON IT OWN 50 X 100 LOT, so you are not sharing space with anyone else. This is the perfect getaway. This is my personal cottage that has been completely outfitted with everything you need. Looking for a quiet island cottage away from tourist spots and loud bars? A short walk to the white sandy beaches of Anna Maria Island or the Bay. I am a foodie and chef and so this kitchen has everything and its good quality cookware. Hop on the free trolley and enjoy dinner and drinks at any one of the Island's award-winning restaurants. Make this your Island home away from home and r-e-l-a-x! Walk to the beach every day and enjoy the sun and amazing sunsets.

All other rentals are minimum 7-day Saturday to Saturday. Longer terms are welcome. If you need flexibly, I will be review, but please inquire first.

Please note: I do not offer anyone to cancel for high season rentals. It just takes too much time to try to juggle last minute cancellations. But I am a fair and reasonable person. If for some reason you cancel your high season reservation, and I am able to re-book the same time I will refund your money minus reasonable costs. Low season cancelations are 60 days. I don't publish this, but I will honor this time frame. I realize life happens. I have always worked everything out with my guests.

A great little cottage

The cottage was the perfect place to stay. It was within walking distance to the beach, but in a quiet neighborhood. The host has made it comfortable and Homey. Bradington Beach is a beautiful area. I would heartily recommend people to come stay.

We stayed for a week and everything went well. Unit was well stocked as advertised and owner Chris was very easy to work with. We had everything we needed including chairs etc for the beach. Unit is literally only a few mins walk to the beach. Neighbor was quiet and peaceful. Great little get away.

Anna Maria Island Stay

Every thing we needed was there. Grocery store was close. Water just two blocks East or West. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The furniture was extremely comfortable as well as the bed and I just had my upper and lower spine fused. Top notch restaurants are close. The owner is a pleasure to work with.

Old Florida Charm

We loved this cute little Beach Cottage! It was just perfect for our 2 week stay. Close to everything and only 2 short blocks to a beautiful beach. House had everything we needed for our stay. So much to do in the area and actually ran out of time to do all we wanted. That is one of the reasons we were quick to book the cottage for next year as well. Chris was so helpful and easy to like right away. Don’t think twice….. just go ahead and book your stay. You won’t be disappointed.

Just Right

This little cottage is the perfect getaway for a couple. The home was very clean and had everything you need for a great stay. We spent the entire month of January 2025 there and I believe we were the first guests to stay there since the hurricane. Chris updated the place nicely and even let us use his personal bikes for our stay. It’s very comfortable and homey and feels like the beach. It’s only a short walk (2 blocks) to the beach. The back deck and gas grill were also great. Most all the restaurants were open and the beach was great. There is still lots of construction and rebuilding going on all over the island but it really didn’t bother us too much. Anna Maria Island is a great place to visit!

Nice cottage

The cottage was nice. It was a short walk to a very nice beach. The houses are too close to each other. Listening to young children playing outside and young adults talking outside on their decks wasn't what we hoped for. Visual privacy was pretty good, noise privacy not so good. Fortunately, the noise levels dropped by 10pm.

Just lovely

Perfect location, removed from the hustle and bustle but close enough to join in at a moments notice. If you need something it's probably there waiting for you to discover it in a drawer or cabinet. Cozy and relaxing. My only suggestion would be to get a king size bed. We are larger and it was difficult to sleep together. Also a bed that has more edge support.

Home away from home

We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage! It was the perfect spot for our family, including our little toddler. The beach was just a stone's throw away, which made it super convenient for all of us to enjoy some sun and sand. The cottage itself was incredibly cozy and had a well-equipped kitchen that made meal prep a breeze. We were pleasantly surprised to find beach supplies provided, saving us the trouble of bringing our own. It made our beach outings with our little one so much more fun! Chris, our host, was amazing. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic stay. He was friendly, attentive, and always available to help with anything we needed. Overall, we can't recommend this cottage enough for families, singles, or retired folks looking for a comfortable beach getaway. It's the kind of place that feels like a home away from home, and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

Chris was timely in his responses and provided good feedback to our inquiries. Thank you Chris! We very much enjoyed the location and were able to walk our dogs around the quiet neighborhood multiple times a day. The amenities are as advertised and the cottage was very clean, but it is aging and not weather tight. Became chilly when temperatures dropped even with the furnace running.The Anna Maria Island was enjoyable. We found three food must visit. The Kokonut Hut, The Rod and Reel and Vinnie’s Italian Kitchen. Highly recommend all!

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
I was raised here and enjoy the bays and beaches. I am an cyclist and spend most of my spare time cycling the island, parks and preserves. I like my life to be simple and uncluttered. I tried the corporate world but I was drawn right back home. I purchased this cottage because it represents my lifestyle, simple.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is one of the original houses on the island. It has the original cottage charm with modern touches including a completely remodeled and gorgeous kitchen. I picked this property because when I was growing up my good friends lived in this neighborhood so when I was looking for a second home I gravitated here. This neighborhood seems to be off the radar and away from loud tourist. No late-night noise, no traffic, just gulf breezes and the songs of the birds. Not many places left that you would get this feeling.

What makes this property unique

Being a foodies and chef the kitchen is outfitted like no other rental on the island. This cottage sits on its own lot, so you have your own private home with a yard, convenient outdoor hot and cold shower, sun deck and a private little bar. The bar (Bar 55) is the perfect little place to hang out day or night, sit back and enjoy a cocktail. Trolley picks you up (FREE) to take you everywhere on the Island. Enjoy a leisurely bike ride (I provide two Townie 3i Comfort Bikes available for your use). I even had a tenant write a novel while living here. I live close by so if you need anything just let me know. The cottage has been tastefully outfitted with everything you need. If you like to cook (as I do) you will be pleasantly surprised at the quality of cookware.
