Whether you are seeking sun and fun, or peace and quiet, leave your car in our private parking because our cottage is centrally located around the very best that the island has to offer within a short walk or free trolley offered on the island.

Enjoy large open living during your stay! Our cottage includes two large bedrooms; each with queen beds w/ private closets, a complete kitchen, bathroom with tub/shower, expansive dining / living room, sun room, and outdoor space w/ table and chairs. Sleep comfortably as each bedroom has independent heat / cooling and ceiling fans, several pillows, and super-soft mattresses. We take pride in our cleanliness! Our cleaning team is meticulous with maintaining our cleaning and sanitization standards. See all the wonderful amenities that are included below!

Looking for convenience and plenty of things to do A 4.4-Star bar / restaurant is next door, Pine Avenue shops are a short walk away, and activities like parasailing, horseback riding, sunset sailing, jet skiing, and more are nearby. Did you know that we are one of the original families on the island That means we know all the best places to go, hidden gems for fantastic experiences, mouth-watering food to eat, and we have long term relationships with other local vendors that will help you create memories to last a lifetime!

Prefer peace and quiet Enjoy morning strolls on the nearly empty beach, moonlight walks near the water’s edge, or a relaxing read with your book of choice in the provided beach chairs w/ umbrella that are included with your booking. There are plenty of quaint eating spots, free nature areas, and two easy-walk piers to enjoy the breathtaking views of the island while spotting dolphins and other marine life. If you don’t feel like going out and about, you can open the cottage windows and enjoy a gentle gulf breeze while you relax with a cold lemonade in the front ‘florida room’ - a large, beautiful, sun filled room with comfortable rocking chairs.

Need to get a little work done while you are here We’ve gotcha covered! Strong wifi is provided with several places to get your work done and get you back to relaxing! We are located on a quiet side-street; so you don’t have to worry about distractions while making phone calls or sitting on internet meetings.

This Host provides fishing charters at an additional charge. Come aboard our commercial fishing boat where all gear is provided including rod, reel, net, life vest, bait, and other equipment. Fish alongside Captain Anthony who has been fishing these waters for almost half a century! Fish for tuna, snook, red snapper, grouper, and more! He and his crew can also help to clean and prepare your catch! Ask how you can book a charter in addition to your stay.

Sunset Cottage is an amazing value for the space, amenities, location, and ‘extras’ that are included to help you to enjoy all that Anna Maria Island has to offer. Minimum age to rent is 25 years old. Additional guests can be any age. Whereas your booking allows up to 4 people to stay in our cottage, we can accommodate a total of up to 5 people before reaching maximum capacity (one person would have to sleep on the couch).

    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.

    We absolutely loved the cottage and the location. I am not able to walk very far and the proximity to the beach was very helpful in allowing me to enjoy the beach. Joann and Anthony are very welcoming!

    We had a great beach stay at this charming, very clean cottage. The location is about 1/2 block from the beach, a very easy walk. It is also walkable to several restaurants.The owners were outstanding hosts and live next door. They are extremely helpful, friendly, knowledgable locals and are also respectful of your privacy. They provided beach chairs and floats, everything we needed for a fun beach day.We would stay again.

    The location of this property was unbeatable. Steps to the beach and restaurants but still peaceful and quiet. Anthony and Joann were more than gracious hosts and made me, my husband and my kids feel very welcome.

    This little cottage is a great location right near the beach. We enjoyed walking down to Bean Point at sunrise and seeing all the snook in the surf. The beach near the cottage is perfect for the kids since it is very shallow and gradual.

    My friend and I, to celebrate Mother's Day without kids, spend 4 days at this delightful cottage on Anna Maria Island. I have only glowing reports regarding the location and the hosts. This cute and old-fashioned cottage sits in a great location and is in walking distance to shops, the Anna Maria Pier, restaurants and especially, the beach! It sits next to Capt Anthony's fish market which would have been interesting to watch; however, the owners were on vacation so we missed the action. Joanne and Anthony were wonderful hosts of the VRBO, and were the definition of exceptional hospitality. We will miss them and hope to return in the the future.
