This house was wonderful in every way. It’s was very clean had everything we needed. The beautiful garden was amazing. Such a treat to see a big yard that led to the most gorgeous beach on the island. Couldn’t be happier with our choice for a quick fall getaway.

I can’t say enough about our stay at Sea Garden! It was our first time visiting AMI, and we fell in love with the island. The cottage was so cozy, and the amenities there were definitely above average for the typical vacation rental. Communication with the host, Kari, before and throughout our stay was excellent. The grounds of the cottage were beautiful, and the shed filled with bikes and beach gear made it so easy and enjoyable for us. The private access to the most beautiful and relaxing beach were the high points for us. I may also add that the outdoor shower was a definite highlight! Amazing sunsets over the ocean and the jungle-like trail to the beach provided adventures for us every single day!! We definitely will recommend Sea Garden to our family and friends!

Home away from Home

This was our second visit to Cozy Cottage and it never disappoints! It is a beautiful Old Florida cottage (which we love and prefer) that is fully appointed-from a fully supplied kitchen, beach towels, umbrellas, and a screened-in lanai for rainy afternoons. AND the landscape is remarkable! Thank you for sharing your cottage with us-we will be back!

The last time we stayed here was during Helene and we decided to stay. This house and that amazing tree and God are by far the only reason we were able to be here to come back. Needless to say this trip was by far much better. The house is still amazing, the town was thriving, the views from the private chairs down by the beach and the walk through the "rainforest " is so amazing. We will stay here again FOR SURE. We have stayed at a few other places on AMI but this one is our favorite by far. If you're thinking of staying in AMI this is the place.

Private oasis

This little cottage is exactly what we’ve been looking for. We’ve been coming to AMI ten years and have always wanted our own private access to the beach and we were not disappointed. It was magical walking this path and suddenly everything opens up to paradise. The little cottage was just perfect for three of us and has everything you need for comfort. Kari was great to work with…professional and quick to respond. We definitely will be coming back to this little gem found at AMI.The Chapman’sBarboursville, WV

Loved this place

Absolutely love this place! Walk to the beach was close & amazing. They had everything you needed for the beach & actual nice beach chairs. We’ve stayed many places where beach chairs were broken or just really crappy. Not the case here. Property manager was super nice & responsive. Beds were very comfortable. Sheets & towels were really good quality, No complaints. Really hoping this place stays small since it seems everything being built is huge & out of our price range if it’s just me & my husband going

We have visited Anna Maria Island for years always renting a home. The Sea Garden Cottage is the nicest home we have rented and is very well appointed for guests- from a bottle of wine to welcome you to sports supplies and a fully loaded kitchen. It would be hard not to enjoy your stay!!
