Anna Maria Island, Florida
Idyllic Holiday Properties is a small friendly holiday company offering an honest and efficient service for our privately owned rental properties situated in fantastic locations on Anna Maria Island on the Gulf coast of Florida (the web addresses for our other properties on VRBO can be found below). The island has 7 miles of beautiful sugar-white sandy beach where you will see pelicans dive, dolphins play and the ibis run.
Shell Cottage is situated towards the top end of Anna Maria Island. It is one of a cluster of 3 cottages (all owned by us) sharing the free form pool with waterfall (at most there would be 6 additional people using the pool).
The cottage is comfortably furnished and very well equipped with everything we hoe you would need to enjoy the perfect holiday. The bedroom has a queen bed and the bathroom is fitted with a bath with overhead shower, basin and WC.
The french doors in the sitting room open out to the pool which is situated in a tropically landscaped garden. You will also find tables. chairs and loungers around the pool. The property benefits from off street parking for 1 car.
The beautiful white sandy beach is just moments away at the end of the quiet road. There are also numerous restaurants within walking distance and if you wanted to explore further afield on the island withoug using your car then the free trolley bus is the perfect answer.
Note: This property has an internal door which connects to our larger 1 bed property (Seahorse Cottage). This door is lockable from both sides to ensure privacy however if left unlocked it allows the 2 properties to be rented together accommodating up to 4 people.

This cottage was very cozy and quiet. It was very close to a trolley stop so I didn't have to rent a car or golf cart. The beach was super close and wasn't crowded since there is no public parking. I met Julie when she was wiping down the patio furniture and she was super nice!!
Clean, secure, great location and cottage. Perfect size for 1-2 adults!
This property is located less than a block to the beach. The pool has a water feature that covers the street noise. The home is very small and well appointed. It had everything we needed. We met the adult guests in the adjacent unit that were a pleasure to meet. Due to the small property, I would recommend this property for adults only.
Great location and beach access
great location a few houses from beach...nice part of the island.
We stayed at this beautiful little cottage for our anniversary. It was perfect. The pool area is very relaxing and beautifully done. The house is perfect for 2 people and the kitchen is well stocked. The house is very close to the beach. We had never been to Anna Maria Island and we discovered it is a beautiful place to go to. Would definitely come back to this lovely cottage! Sharon was wonderful to deal with and gave us instructions for check in even when it was later in the evening!
My husband and I had a marvelous week at Shell Cottage. We had a change of plans and Leane was absolutely wonderful in working with us to make it work out. The unit is very small but very clean and comfortable. Perfect for two. We will definitely be back!
My wife and I needed a one bedroom place north of Pine St to be close to our daughter’s place. This was perfect, cozy, neat and clean. Shared pool was great. Nice pool furniture, landscape and pool deck. Small kitchen and bathroom worked for the two of us.
Refreshing and energizing. Will be back!
Thoroughly cute property, lovely pool area, quiet neighborhood and only 4-5 houses from the beach. Sharon and Liane were super easy to work with and kept me well informed about the property post-Hurricane Ian. It was a nice little escape for a week. The couch needs to be replaced and the storage is a bit unusual, but I didn't care. Location, location, location!
The house was perfect for my wife and I. Super close to the beach and all Anna Maria has to offer.
Property was great
The cottage was the perfect size and setup for us. Location was great- steps away from the beach. The pool was refreshing. Highly recommend The Donut Experiment which was only a few blocks away . And last but not least- we got to see a few loggerhead hatchlings and help one to the ocean with the Sea Turtle Patrol!!
A perfect location and perfect cottage in an relaxing area
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Shell Cottage! It was perfect size for us and we loved the close proximity to restaurants and the beach. Even though we had a car, we chose to walk everywhere. The pool and patio area were very nice too! We had everything we needed and would definitely stay here again.
The recommendations I could make are as follows. Number 1, replace the extremely worn out and uncomfortable sofa. 2. Add a few area rugs. 3. Add a coffee table, which is desperately needed in front of sofa.. 4. Put a rug in the bathroom. 5. Put a broom in every unit to keep sand at bay. 6. Fix armoire door so it stays open (only full length mirror in unit and it wasn’t clean).
Adorable cottage with pool. Close to the beach. Pool water is heated and nice beach chairs and towels provided. We will Definitely be back !
