Feels like a secret hideaway in beautiful AMI
We stayed for 5 days- 2 adults and children aged 7 and 9. Cute little cottage with an amazing private pool backyard area and golf cart to get around. Dan and Goose live in house attached next door but do not intrude at all and just let you know they are happy to help if needed. We literally saw them twice during our stay and that was when we were asking for tips on where to go. They were v helpful with info before our visit too.The location is amazing at quiet north part of the island- 5 mins walk to Bean point and to the Rod and Reel restaurant. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Return trip
This was our second stay at Castaway Cottage and we were just as pleased the second time around. Location is perfect- our favorite place to stay on the island. The house had everything our family needed but the backyard and pool are the most special part of this home!

Wonderful place!
We had another great family spring break stay at Castaway Cottage. The place has everything you could want. I could have spent all week in the backyard oasis. Dan and Goose are great hosts, Definitely hope to be back again someday.

AMI Spring Break 2024
This cottage was perfect for my family of 3 for my daughter's Spring Break. This was one of the best appointed houses we have stayed at on the island. Came with bikes, golf cart, paddle boards! The backyard was a paradise and the hosts- Dan and Goose were very helpful. Would stay here again!

Why they chose this property

Good island vibes brought us to Anna Maria Island. Great local motion encouraged us to move here. Awesome pool/spa area attracted us to this home. Amazing cottage charm and sweet location near Bean Point Beach sealed the deal. We fell in love with the quiet residential island neighborhood and live next door to Castaway Cottage. Although Castaway Cottage and the exterior spaces are completely private, we are readily available to offer guest assistance, if needed. We work all the time yet are usually on the island - just a quick text away. Whether a romantic getaway or a family vacation, all travelers will find this quiet and unique neighborhood to be a welcoming island home.

What makes this property unique

Short walk to the Rod & Reel Pier and all beaches. The backyard pool and spa = a total tropical delight! Mature landscaping creates a very private atmosphere at the pool area. The pool/spa area and amenities & equipment are all on site and are for the exclusive use of Castaway Cottage guests. The outdoor shower/dressing room is a huge hit with guests! All ground level with a large front porch. Close to Pine Avenue and Gulf Drive eateries & shops! Trolley stops are nearby at The City Pier or on Gulf/Pine. ✨
