Anna Maria, Florida
Nestled in beautiful tropical landscaping, this 2 bed, 2 bath beach cottage vacation rental blends simple elegance with a prime location, just steps from the gorgeous Gulf sands of Anna Maria Island!
While the décor sets a soothing tone from the minute you step foot inside, there are surprising and colorful touches throughout the home. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind from the demands of the day-to-day, with two sitting areas, a shady outdoor seating space, and a screened lanai.
But the best part just might be around the corner, a one-minute walk away – the famous white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island! Positioned North of Pine Avenue, these beaches are the least crowded and, in our humble opinion, all the more beautiful for it.
Back at the house, you’ll have all the necessities for a comfortable stay, including WiFi, cable TV, beach towels, and cozy bed and bath linens. There are two bedrooms - one with a king bed and en-suite bathroom with shower, the other with two twin beds – plus a queen sleeper sofa, allowing up to six guests to decompress and reset by living the Island life.
You’ll want to return to this La Casita sooner than later, just try it and see!
La Casita is owned by a family of Island-lovers, excited for others to fall in love just as they have. The current photos were taken in 2022 to showcase the hard work they put in to polish and update this adorable beach cottage, inside and out. The kitchen was updated in August 2023 and now includes a dishwasher and full size smooth top electric range.
❌ Please note that pets are not allowed in this rental.
Special thanks go to the Anna Maria General Store, where you can purchase the LOLA wine used for staging in the photos, and Hometown Desserts, who provided those gorgeous cookies used in the kitchen photos. Both are located on Pine Avenue, not far from La Casita.
This was our second time coming here and we love it. Very clean and cozy and has everything we need. Can't wait to come back!!
The house is as advertised - it’s a cute clean house. Great location to the beach in a nice quiet neighborhood. Appears that the master shower had been recently updated. Shampoo/conditioner/body wash are not supplied. There are beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, a few sand toys and beach cart to haul things back and forth. There is not a cooler for the beach, however there is a nice plastic handled basket we improvised with by putting a plastic grocery bag in it filled with ice. The outside area has nice seating and table area, however there are no lights to enjoy the area after dark as the outside lights are motion activated. A few rope lights on the tree or fence would be a great addition to enjoy the space. For those that like to cook, there are no spices or oil etc. However the kitchen is nicely stocked (no coffee grinder) and the pots and pan set is of good quality. The kitchen has dish soap, dishwasher tablets and trash bags. We’d definitely stay here again!
Great location; clean, bright accommodation; clear communication regarding access and departure. Would stay again.
The property is well maintained. About 2-3min walk to the beach. It is still the original Charme of Anna Maria. It is fully equipped and we did miss nothing. The property is perfect to spend a vacation on the beach. Thank you.
We three traveled to AMI to celebrate our cousin’s 40th birthday. Let me start by saying the location of this house was PERFECT. It was less than a minute walk to the beach, nearby restaurants, groceries and shopping, and we walked to Bean Point as it was only half a mile away! (got super lucky and saw the bioluminescence!) The interior and exterior are set up great and the backyard was bigger than I expected. The kitchen was recently renovated and everything was new including a dishwasher and all other appliances. Beds are comfy and the master bathroom is amazing. The second bathroom is small and we were two women getting ready but the lighting in the living room is perfect so we took a mirror in there to get ready when needed. We walked to the beach daily and the path to get there is easily accessible. We spent most of our beach days in that area because it’s not overcrowded like some of the other beaches. White sand, clear water and I saw a manatee while swimming! We would have liked a better beach cart (the one at the house had a garbage sack full of leaves so we didn’t mess with it) and we ended up buying a new umbrella and leaving it for the next renters. The only other thing we would have liked to have was a beach cooler but Publix had inexpensive travel coolers so we purchased one there. The house has tons of towels and beach towels which we appreciated. We definitely would rent this house again as it surpassed our expectations!!
Nice location to walk to the beach. Property could use updating, especially kitchen. Cooking utensils rusted, stove very old and didn’t try using it. Furniture cover and rugs very dirty with stains. Size of the house worked for us. Location and beach access best part of this property.
This was a great little cottage just steps from a beach with much nicer sand than Holmes beach where we stayed last April. Pros: A/C worked great Beds were comfortable New washer and dryer Beach access A++ Beach Cart, Sand toys, chairs Areas for improvement: -King bed was made up with two standard pillows, and although there were extra pillows none had protector covers and there were no spare pillowcases. -The vacuum in the master bedroom closet was full of pet hair and when I used it the smell kinda permeated the air. This vacuum needs a good cleaning and air filters replaced. -Deck furniture was all dirty when we arrived, and I spent a couple of hours bleaching and scrubbing it. -The white Ikea couches had removable washable covers but looked a bit soiled. I cleaned loveseat couch cushion and it changed back to a more crisp white. -The house would be better with less nicknacks. There were shells everywhere in baskets, and other breakables easily reachable by children. We prefer clean and functional especially when traveling with our kids. -Beach stuff was great but a little worn out. The chairs and beach cart were rusted, and I feel like that stuff should be well maintained or replaced regularly. -Cleaning was a bit poor. Cleaners didn't clean under the bed in master, and when looking behind dresser in other room we saw lots of garbage from previous guests like tags from clothing etc.
Our stay at this lovely beach house was wonderful! From check in to check out everything went smooth. It was everything we expected and more. The biggest and best surprise was the cleanliness of this little beach house. It made us feel right at home from the minute we walked in. Thank you Fran Maxon Real Estate property managment!
The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed for our week stay. Very convenient to the beach and other island attractions. Also very nice to have a gas grill for nice evenings of cooking out. Chairs and beach supplies came in very handy and very appreciated to have on hand. Also there wasn’t a dishwasher on site but everything mentioned that there was as well as dishwasher soap was also left for us that didn’t need to be left. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of this. Maybe in the future label light switches and also adjust motion light for outside as it went off even while inside the cottage. All around we were very pleased with the cottage and great condition it was in and for our wonderful vacation. Thank you
Loved every bit of the stay.
Contactless check in was really helpful. The house has everything you need and is in a perfect location. Would highly recommend to others.
Lovely older beach house, well stocked, on a fairly busy road in the quiet upper end of the island. Easy access to everything. Anna Maria is booming with lots of people and construction. Still a nice family oriented beach area.
La Casita was perfect for our one week stay. We definitely hope to come back! The house isn't overly pretentious but comfortable and clean with a cottage-like feel, and we had everything we needed. There were some issues with the wifi and cable not working at first due to a storm that hit before we arrived, but we were well reimbursed for the trouble. Beach access is nice and close, as well as shops and restaurants. A great setting for a peaceful and relaxing vacation3
It was easy and made for a relaxing Christmas vacation.
Nice place in a quiet part of town. A few quirky things about the house—no hooks to hang clothes, light switches that aren’t connected to lights—but nothing you can’t work around. Check in/out was very easy. We would stay there again.
This property was the perfect get away that we needed. It was peaceful and relaxing.
Awesome!!!
This property was a great spot for a short, quiet, low-key getaway in Anna Maria. Just steps from the beach, the sunsets are amazing! We will definitely be coming back!
The house is super cute. It was perfect for our family of 4. We love the northern part of the island and the proximity to the beach is awesome. The master bed is comfortable and the master bath is the perfect size. It would be nice to have a beach umbrella and a cooler. We would definitely love to stay again!!
