Happy Island Cottage: Heated Pool, 5-Min Walk to Beach, Pet Friendly
Your own heated pool, a five-minute walk to the Gulf, and the whole house to yourselves in quiet Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. We are one of the few family-run homes left on the island, we answer our own messages, and so many of our guests come back year after year.
The home is a modern 2,000 sq ft beach house that sleeps 6: two king rooms, a twin room, a queen sleeper sofa, and 2.5 baths with a jet tub. A private, fenced pool with safety alarms, two decks, a grill, a full kitchen, Electrolux washer and dryer, fast 173 Mbps wifi, a 3-car garage and EV charger, and easy self check-in. Two dogs welcome, any size, and the garage is stocked with beach toys, loungers and a wagon to borrow.
Leave the car parked: it is a five-minute walk to a wide Gulf beach, and steps to the marina, shops, groceries and the Ugly Grouper. The free island trolley stops 100 steps away.
Want to be right on the sand, or planning a simpler getaway? Look up Happy Turtle, our two cute cottages 60 steps from the beach, 10 minutes away in Bradenton Beach.

We were in touch with the owner before booking with some questions, and he was very quick to respond. The house was extremely clean. The pool was beautiful-equipped with plenty of toys and floatables. Night swims were also fun with the pool lights and the string lights! The front porch was nice to watch lightning at night. The beach was just a quick 5 min walk away. Overall, this was an excellent experience!

Good property for a small family. Not so much for two couples or all adults. The two upstairs bedrooms share a very tiny bathroom that is so small the door misses the counter by about an inch. That is not a problem with children sharing that bathroom. It is one step up from non-functional for two adults.Perhaps just a bit of overall updating to include new mattresses would be in order. Nothing catastrophic though.Good location. If “beach” is your everyday activity, you will walk 15-20 minutes carrying your beach accessories. Driving to the beach is simple, though finding parking at the beach can be a problem at times. Getting to a bit of shopping, food, bars, etc. is a very easy walk of 2-3 minutes.Great host. Immediate responses to any query or concerns.

Great Location!
The house was a short walk to the beach, and was close to everything you needed. Lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance. We really liked being so close to the north end of the island. The house was pretty much exactly as described, and the kids loved the playing in the pool every day after coming back from the beach.

🙂 Just a quick correction - it’s not on top, it’s across the big parking lot. Occasionally, you can even catch some live music by the pool area, drifting over from outside the restaurant. Bonus: margaritas come fast and easy from there. No need to drive - you’re on the island, so kick back and enjoy the good times!

Great family getaway
We had a great time on Anna Maria Island! The house was in a great location - a few blocks to the beach and close to restaurants and shopping. The pool area is beautiful and was the perfect size for our family of 5. The house is clean and had most everything we needed. It was so nice to have beach equipment (chairs, wagon, etc) there for us so we didn’t have to bring it. The owner came to check in with us and make sure the pool was clean. We would definitely recommend this house for a nice family getaway!

Happy Island Cottage
The home was very adequate and was found as advertised. Not having any toilet paper or paper towels was annoying, additionally I would have paid more to have access to the thermostat of the pool, set at 85 degrees and locked made the northern facing pool unusable. Owner was pleasant.

Sure, this can be confusing but this is how it works guys :)
1. Pool Thermostat is always locked for a safety reason. We have an industrial heater, this is why we can set it up to 85F for our guests during the winter time. Normal heated pool temperature is 75F on the island. It can easily be lowered by calling or texting me, I'm only 20 min away.
2. For a toilet paper and paper towels - we are providing a starter kit for our guests ( it's also in description of the house) We are trying to be fair to all of our guests, as couples will use lot less vs big family. This is also a common practice in many Island Homes.
Hopefully it helps :)

This was a wonderful place to stay. Clean and is supplied with everything you need. Alex will help out with any questions you need answered. Everything is in walking distance. Pool was the best! Every restaurant in Holmes Beach gets a five star. Rented a golf cart and toured Anna Maria and went to both piers to eat. Will be back next year. Thank you Alex for everything. The Woodwards

Om værten
Vært: Alex & Elena
We are a family of designers. You'll feel it reflected in every detail of our Happy Island Cottage. We love to travel to exotic destinations, mostly tropical ;)
Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
We were looking for a vacation home for a long time until we found and fell in love with our Happy Island Cottage on Anna Maria Island. The location was just perfect with beautiful relaxing beaches and friendly and casual atmosphere. The house was perfect as well with its modern design and a wealth of new features. It was full of light and each time we were there it was making us feel just happy. We were getting same kind of reaction from all of our friends and guests who were staying there with us. So it was an easy decision for us to name the house “Happy Island Cottage”.
Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt
Now a few more details about the house. It has a nice, tropical and private backyard with a heated pool, a spacious outdoors seating area and a brand new grill. On the interior the house is decorated with love and style. Each one of the three bedrooms is spacious and has its own tropical character. Two bedrooms have king size beds, the third has a set of twin beds. The dining and living areas are very comfortable and furnished with brand new furniture. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped with all new appliances. Every woman staying in this house will appreciate the laundry room with a set of high capacity and high efficiency LG washer and dryer.
The Happy Island Cottage is located only 400 steps from the beach and 200 steps from marina, where you can dock your boat or book a fishing or a sunset trip, or rent a kayak. The main island shopping plaza is located two blocks away, so you don't have to drive to get to the restaurants, shops and bars.
Overall, staying at the Happy Island Cottage is a truly relaxing experience that will make your vacation feel longer and more happy.
