It is currently undergoing restoration and we plan to have the home available again for guests by mid May*** Sweet vintage 1950's bungalow/cottage with all the charm of the island! Beautifully decorated, fully fenced back yard with private pool, and located on the island's much sought after north end. A short walk to Bean Point Beach, Bay Front Beach and Park, and Rod and Reel Pier. Crystal clear waters of the gulf, white sands, and island breezes await!

2 bedrooms, 2 baths. Cozy living room with full sized foldout sofa, screened in lanai, kitchen, one queen bed and one king bed. Queen bedroom has walk-in closet. Full sized washer and dryer included in the home and complimentary bikes to explore the island. Other items at the home for your use during your stay are beach towels, sand and pool toys, beach chairs, a cart to roll all your gear to the beach, and pack-n-play for baby. Many accoutrements included!

Relax, unwind, and dance like no-one is watching!

Shell We Dance

This house has an awesome outdoor space. My kids loved it and spent a lot of time in the pool. The house is small but very clean. Out of all the VRBO we have stayed in, this by far was one of the cleanest which I absolutely loved! The bikes were a plus and made it very easy to get to the beach, stores, and restaurants on the island. We had one little hiccup with the washer but it was taken care within 45 minutes. Great experience!

Visited Anna Maria Island with kids and grandkids in June. Absolutely loved the location, pool and peacefulness of the home. We have been staying in Anna Maria for many years, and this property was great for the walk to our favorite beach and Rod and Reel Pier. Will return for sure!

Overall great

Loved the location and the property. Only reason I gave it 4 stars was the construction of a new house right behind the property. The workers had a view of our whole backyard. So when we were in the pool, they a clear view of us.

Great location

This home could not have a better location to the beautiful beach. It’s only about 1 1/2 blocks. The pool is brand new and beautiful. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the home but it is very small and things are older and worn. Ceilings are so low that our tall family members had to avoid the ceiling fans. The kitchen is original. Beds are comfortable and the house is clean. Overall this is a great location.
