About this property

END OF SUMMER RATES! Cozy cottage central location-Private patio-3 min to beach!

Discover this boutique-styled cottage and the white sandy beaches that make Anna Maria Island so famous. The Cottage is just 20 yards from the Gulf ocean and is one house off the beach as the crow flies.

A large open room with lots of sunlight will give your vacation the perfect vibe. The modern kitchen is fully loaded with a dishwasher, microwave, stove and a fridge...and of course there's an ice maker! Plus lots of storage for longer stays makes this cozy kitchen easy to enjoy.

The comfortable living room is a great place to chill. Wifi and television will also keep you occupied if you've had enough sun. Fans in the living and bedroom mean you can enjoy the perfect weather without sacrificing airflow. Naturally, if you like it cooler, AC is always available. Need extra sleeping room? The living room features a very comfortable pull-out couch for guests.

The bathroom has a tub for soaking and a marble-topped vanity as well as custom one-of-a kind touches. The clean, white fluffy towels are all 100% cotton and will give you that fresh hotel feel.

Your bedroom comes with a high-end king bed that's not too firm, not too soft, and comes with 450-thread count cotton sheets. The room offers bedside reading lamps, a large closet and private television.

Just think... when the waves pick up, you can hear the ocean from your private patio, which is a great place to relax all day when you're not out on the beach. Feeling like a BBQ? Kick on the grill and enjoy.

This house has everything you could possibly need to enjoy time by the sea.

Your boutique chic, adorable cottage is just a 2-minute walk to coffee shops, the only late-night watering hole on the island, the local Walgreens, and a bike rental store so you never need to drive anywhere. But if you did want to head out, the free trolley that runs up and down the island makes getting around a cinch!

Lastly there is a washer & dryer located on the back of the property— this laundry area is shared by our two cottages (we have this "Sun Cottage" and a "Surf Cottage" which you can see on our website if you google Postcard Cottages AMI)

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Wonderful Private Cottage

This was just what we needed to get away from the craziness of everyday life. Very private and has most everything you need, there is even a grill out back, saved us from having to go to a restaurant every night. There is very little noise and its just a short walk to the beach which wasn't crowded at all. Cant wait to come back!

Great location. Walking distance to beach, shopping and restaurants. Very clean and kitchen well appointed to be able to cook at home if you wanted. Perfect way to experience all that Anna Maria Island offers.

Great location

This is a perfectly pleasant one bedroom condo about a block from the beach. Comfortable bed, nice patio. My only complaint was the complete lack of basic amenities like coffee. Not a big deal, but just know that you will probably need to do a grocery run first day you arrive. All in all I enjoyed my time here and would definitely stay again.

Kip, so glad you loved your stay. Appreciate your thoughts and we'd love to offer you a pantry full of food but the local hospitality rules prohibit this. We hope you'll come chill with us again!

Just what we needed

Perfect little place! Decorated perfectly beachy! Clean,clean, clean. Centrally located and within walking distance to a drug store, convenient store, coffee, cupcakes, shopping. The bed is comfy. The bathroom is perfect. Has all you need in the kitchen. Fantastically private patio that offers a lot of shade. Easy parking right out front. The walk to the beach is a little tricky. Out the back gate you can go right or left, we gravitated left because it was less crowded. Overall a great place. I’d stay again!

Fantastic cottage!

This little cottage was absolutely perfect for my wife and I to enjoy Anna Maria Island. I was pleased that the owner was quick to respond to a couple questions I had before our arrival. It made for such a relaxing trip. The cottage itself was very clean, comfortable and well decorated, with a nice array of kitchen utensils and a great back patio. We really enjoyed the location as it was in between the busier areas of the island. It made for a beach that was not very crowded. It is an easy two minute walk to the beach, and the owners even have a wagon, beach chairs, umbrella, and floats. All you need for a day at the beach . The location also made for a short drive in either direction to see all the island has to offer. I would certainly stay here again.

CHEERFUL COTTAGE IN A PERFECT LOCATION

I'm writing this review about a half hour before we have to check out. :-( We don't want to check out!! Sun Cottage is our new favorite place. The photos are 100% accurate but don't do it justice. It's cute, cozy, cheerful, very functional and very well equipped. Sun Cottage isn't right next to any restaurants or stores (hardly anything is on AMI...things are pretty spread out), but it's convenient to everything. The property manager is VERY helpful. We're really impressed with how quickly she responds to every inquiry. We spent our beach days at Manatee Beach Park, which is only a half mile away and has everything you could need for a great day on the beach: restrooms, changing rooms, tiki bar, restaurant, gift shop and chair/umbrella rentals. We LOVE Sun Cottage and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else on AMI.

Much needed vacation!

Our little Cottage was just wonderful. Couldn’t ask for more. Close to beach, shopping and restaurants. Quiet and safe area. House was impeccably neat, clean and adorable. It has just about all the amenities you would need for your stay. Can’t wait to return
