Having always wanted to stay on Anna Maria Island, I was fortunate to have found this little cottage. With it's own vintage vibe and proximity to the breath taking beautiful beach you'll be loving this little gem yourself. Location was the #1 reason I booked here however the owners are one of the top reasons we'll come back! Friendly and laid-back they helped w recommendations and a wealth of knowledge about the island, fishing and great food!! We enjoyed the cottage's vintage character, others may want a more modern choice. Photos are representative.
Steps from the beach as well as great restaurants and shops, with great hosts.
Cute cottage and nice location. Met all our needs for the week! We can’t wait to come back to Anna Maria Island! Thanks, Captain Anthony and Joann!
My wife and I brought our infant son for our first family beach trip. Cpt Anthony and Joanne's place was a great home base! The location was absolutely perfect, steps from the beautiful beach, right across from the Sandbar, and right in the middle of downtown Anna Maria. Many coffee shops, breakfast, and dinner places within a few blocks. The cottage was quaint and comfortable, exactly what you see in pictures. And of course Anthony and Joanne were very friendly and welcoming. We're very much considering making this an annual trip, 100% recommend!
Great location, clean, comfortable and close to everything!, Captain Anthony and Joann were great to get to know, we loved it there. Highly recommend
The cottage was great and the hosts are wonderful. We would highly recommend this place and will stay there again.
Was a perfect location to the beach and to all the sites on Anna Maria. Easily within walking distance to everything, The hosts we easily accessible if needed. Will stay there again if we return to Anna Maria Island. Thanks for being great hosts.
Lovely house, lovely hosts. Had a great time and the house was perfect
Owner needs to post hours they are unavailable. Fisherman with nontraditional hours of availability. The cottage is right out of the early 1950’s. Fun to experience Anna Marie Island in the traditional cottage of uneven floors, front porches and accessibility to fresh caught fish.
What a terrific cottage! Steps from the beach, several great restaurants and golf cart rentals. Beautifully decorated in a beachy theme. Furniture was gorgeous! Updated kitchen appeared to have everything one needed if a meal was to be prepared but we chose to eat out every meal. Front porch area was great, especially if traveling with children. They can play there while adults use the living room. Hosts were charming and don't miss the fish dip! Our souvenirs were fresh crab claws, also not to be missed. Can't wait to visit again.
It was a great location, steps to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. The hosts Anthony and JoAnn are amazing, they made our trip even better. They have a fish market, you must try their fish dip, it is amazing and worth every penny. The cottage/house was clean and just what we were looking for.
We enjoyed this little cottage so close to the beach. It had everything we needed inside and out - including plenty of beach supplies. The owner was very friendly, helpful, and communicative. She even made us a fantastic snapper lunch one of the days :) We look forward to returning in the future.
The cottage was wonderful, cozy and comfortable. The location was perfect. We are not strangers to Anna Maria Island and this time at a 'new place' was a wonderful. The owners are on property and I fell in love with them and their dogs. Taking the time to get to know Captain Anthony and Joann was absolutely a highlight of our total vacation. We are already planning our next visit!!!
Perfect location. Perfect size. Perfect hosts.
