About this property

END OF SUMMER SPECIAL- Private patio-Central location & trolley-3min to beach

This is a fabulously styled cottage is set back 30 yards from the Gulf ocean (one house off the beach as the crow flies) close to the white sandy beaches that make Anna Maria Island so famous.

Large open rooms, this cottage has lots of sunlight and a charming style that will kickoff the perfect vacation. The modern kitchen is fully loaded with a dishwasher, microwave, stove, fridge...and of course, there's an ice maker! Lots of storage for longer stays makes this cozy kitchen easy to enjoy.

When you walk in the front door, you walk through our Florida room with its' cute bunk beds. This is a great place for the kids to kick-back after a day by the sea.

The comfortable living room offers a great place to relax indoors from the sun and you have wifi and television to help keep you occupied. Fans in the living and bedroom mean you can enjoy the perfect weather without sacrificing airflow. But hey, if you like it cooler, the AC is always available. Need more room, the couch is a pull-out which can come in handy.

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

Your bedroom comes with a king bed that's not too firm, not too soft, and 450-thread count cotton sheets. There are bedside tables lamps, a large closet and of course your own private television.

Just think... when the waves pick up, you can walk to the beach in around 2 minutes down the road or back alley, or why not listen to the ocean from your private patio which is a great place to relax all day. Feeling like a BBQ? Kick on the grill and kickback. This house has everything you could possibly need to enjoy time by the sea.

Your boutique chic, adorable cottage is just a 4-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 make getting all over a cinch!

Lastly, there is a washer & dryer located on the back of the property— it's shared by both this cottage and the one next to it.

Great location and just the right size

Great communication with the property manager and the perfect location for the price. We booked this as a last minute trip and couldn’t have been more pleased. It’s the ideal location for a couple or even a couple with two smaller children.

Great place and location!!

This home was perfect for my husband and I. They provide everything you need and if you need something special you are within walking distance of grocery and drug store and even a Dollar Store. Great beach access and close to so much. The home itself is decorating adorably and very homey. Wish we could have stayed longer.
