Sea Palm Cottage
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Experience a gorgeous slice of paradise with a stay in Sea Palm Cottage! Ideal for families with children, you'll enjoy a fantastic location near the beach, easy access to the trolley, a covered patio, and a private pool surrounded by lush tropical foliage.
Start adjusting to island time and head out to the beach. The soft sands and warm waves are only one block from home, and there are seven miles of beach to explore on Anna Maria Island. The free, air-conditioned trolley is only a quick walk away and provides easy access to everything great about the area. From delicious deli sandwiches at the Island General Store to cookouts at Coquina Beach, you'll have plenty of choices for spending your day!
Pull into your vacation rental's provided parking space and admire the verdant vegetation and the home's serene sky-blue exterior. Enjoy the balmy air on the shaded front porch, or step inside and relax while surrounded by Old Florida-inspired décor and furnishings. Free WiFi lets you stay connected to your loved ones back at home, while the flatscreen TV in the living room offers plenty of entertainment. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to whip up delicious meals and is lined with windows to fill the space with soft natural light.
Book your stay today and soak up some Florida sunshine!
