About this property

Happy Turtle B: Cute Beach Cottage, 60 Steps to Sand, Pet Friendly

Sixty steps from a wide, never-crowded beach, on the quiet, narrow end of Anna Maria Island in Bradenton Beach. 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. Cute, easy, and steps from the Gulf.

Your own entrance off the street opens to two queen bedrooms with closets, one full bath, a comfortable living room with a smart TV and Netflix, and a private backyard. Comfortably sleeps four. Full kitchen, washer and dryer, central AC on a Nest, fast wifi up to 300 Mbps, a propane grill, one dedicated parking space, and self check-in. Two dogs welcome, any size.

The beach is a one-minute walk, with Aluna Wellness Center and Spa right on the way, and Anna Maria Sound is steps away. Historic Bridge Street Pier and its restaurants are a short drive, and the free island trolley is close by. Beach chairs and toys left by past guests are free to use.

Coming with a bigger group? Book Happy Turtle B together with the home next door, Happy Turtle A, for a 4-bedroom whole-property stay with two living spaces and privacy for everyone. Prefer an upscale stay with a private pool? Look up Happy Island Cottage, our second beach home, 10 minutes away in Holmes Beach.

* AC holds the 72-80F range. The Nest is not locked: if it reads 76, that is Eco mode after the house sat empty, and it resumes your setting on its own.
* The grill has a propane tank in place. Please refill it after use; if it arrives low, Holmes Beach Ace Hardware (right by the Publix) does quick exchanges.
* TVs are streaming through Amazon Fire Sticks. You are free to use any of your subscription services, but please remember to log out after your vacation. If you are not familiar with Amazon Fire Sticks or smart TVs in general, please search online for instructions. We do not provide assistance with basic operations.

We stock a starter supply of paper goods, trash bags, and soaps for your first day or two. For longer stays, plan a quick Publix run for refills, it is 5 minutes away.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
