About this property

Old Florida-style cottage w private heated pool - walk to the beach - dogs OK

Summary:

Old Florida-style cottage w/ private heated pool - walk to the beach - dogs OK



The Space:

Come live the island life when you stay in this charming 'Old Florida' style cottage with a private saltwater pool and close proximity to the beach. You'll also have room for three cars in the roomy carport and access to Anna Maria's free trolley.



With only one house between you and the glittering quartz sand on the Gulf of Mexico, start your mornings with a walk on the beach before making your way down to Gulf Drive for pastries and coffee at Ginny and Jane E's. Check out the Pine Avenue shopping district and Bayfront Park for picnicking, then relax on the sand at Bean Point Beach, and visit Rod and Reel Pier and Restaurant for fishing and dining.



The open floor plan keeps everyone close but not cramped, and the air conditioning keeps you cool. Designer-inspired furnishings and a palette of bright, coastal colors provide a playful yet comfortable space to relax. For entertainment, you'll have flatscreen TVs, complete with DVD players, and free WiFi access throughout. The family dog will also enjoy themselves here for an additional nightly fee.



Lounge in the screened lanai for a reading session, quiet conversation, or board games. Cook in the full kitchen or fire up the charcoal grill and make some mouthwatering seafood kabobs next to your sparkling pool. This home offers a private washer/dryer, too, so you can pack light for your trip.



Reconnect with family or friends and create lifelong memories. Book this lovely cottage today!

Old Florida just steps from the beach!

We have stayed here a few times and love it. Cute decor, great private pool and just steps from the beach. However, it is a little worn - floors could be updated,
Verified review

4/10 Poor

Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
The location is excellent, but the house itself is quite run down and in need of updating and maintenance.For a property in the 460–500 per night range, we expected a much better overall condition and experience.The biggest inconvenience for us was the pool access. You cannot access the pool directly through the house and instead have to exit through the front door and use the side gate, which requires both hands to open. Carrying towels, drinks, or pool items back and forth became frustrating. Since the front door also needs to stay locked, it’s difficult to keep an eye on the house while at the pool. The location was definitely the best part of the stay.

Great location

Property is one house away from beach access on a very quiet street. Walking distance to great spots. Pool and screened in patio were our favorite spots. They also had beach chairs and sand toys which was an added bonus.
