Come to historic Anna Maria Island and remember days gone by when you stay in this three-bedroom Key West-style cottage. With a sparkling cocktail-style pool, close proximity to the beach, dining, and Bayfront Park, you'll soon see why this beautiful rental is such a special place! You'll also have room for two cars in the driveway.

The beach at Bean Point is a few blocks away, and Bayfront Park and two fishing piers are within easy walking distance. If you prefer, walk to the nearby stop and see it all on the island's free trolley. Be sure to head to Pine Avenue for local culture, including specialty shops, galleries, bars, and restaurants. Outdoor activities abound with a variety of tours available, and while you're out exploring, treat yourself to some bubble ice cream at Shiny Fish Emporium.

Enjoy the comforts of home and revel in the inviting bedrooms and spacious bathtubs, as well as free WiFi and a flatscreen TV and DVD player in the living room. The full kitchen offers all you need for meal prep and clean-up. Lounge poolside in a covered swing or take a refreshing dip, then make a feast on the charcoal grill and dine al fresco in one of the island's best backyards. You'll also have a private washer/dryer so you can pack light for your trip.

Come to Anna Maria Island to slow down and indulge in the blissfulness and relaxation this home offers. Book it today!

Great cottage in amazing location
We have been going to Anna Maria for three years now and each year it gets better. The house was super comfortable with everything we needed and worth more space than what we expected. Walking to the beach was super easy with the kids and the pool though small was enough. The only “but” of our stay was the pool temperature that by no means was as warm as promised and the alarm that leads outside from the back covered porch that is super annoying because you can’t stop it from going on from the outside. Other than that we would surely repeat our stay!

Little pink houses
Very cute house with a little pool in backyard. It’s about 2 blocks from beach. Walking distance to restaurants and bars. Only complaint is that we could not use the pull out sofa as there were no sheets. I contacted the local property manager by email with no response. I would only recommend 6 people stay at this location. Generally very good

Harmony House
The house was great, the pool was a lil smaller (but adequate) than it looked in pic. House was very clean. Location was easy walk to beach. The things in our opinion that could be different.......Our pool alarm was not allowing us House access , without setting it off, to get back in. Limiting the hours we could actually use it, so we wern't setting it off too late, for not disturbing our quiet neighborhood. I kinda feel a lil refund is in order, we called it in, was never resolved. The kitchen needs sharp knives, and a new Sharpener. Knives were pretty useless. We had six people, not enough towels, toilet paper, Dishwasher cubes. When you pay as much as this, you would think they could supply the paper , and more than one roll of paper towels, and one kitchen towel. The house was super cute, super clean. Most places have a cabinet where guest can leave salt, pepper, etc. For the next guests, there was no salt or pepper, or spices of any kind. Salt & Pepper would have been nice. Over all a good stay, with a couple things that could improve.

A great Home For Our Getaway
We chose this house because it was literally a 5 minute walk to the beach, had a private pool, and it is located in a very quiet part of the island. After our stay, the only downside was dealing with the management company. The Good... First, you technically only have to cross one street to get to the beach and traffic there is almost non-existant. There is a city-owned beach access alley that runs between a couple of the nearby houses and will take you all the way there. I highly suggest you bring a wagon because if you have kids or a lot of beach gear it'll just make your life easier. Next, the pool. It is a small pool that is about 4.5ft deep at the deepest part. I don't know about cramming 6 or more adults in there but for my wife and 2yr old it was absolutely perfect. It is private and the plants and trees around it made it more special. Finally, this is a very quiet part of the island. It's all residential but you're still only half a mile from the nearest shops. I highly recommend renting a golf cart while you are staying because it was much easier (and fun) to get around. There is very limited parking and there are lots of other golf carts and pedestrians so having a golf cart makes things so much better. The Bad... This house is managed by Vacassa and I don't know if the following is typical of them or not. First, we were notified the first day of our arrival that roof inspectors would be there to check the roof and we didn't have to stick around for that. We were offered by the Guest Service Manager a "meal on Vacassa up to $20 a person" for the inconvenience. Guess what....sent the receipt and then....crickets. Even sent another email a couple days after the first one...crickets again. Second, a random tech showed up while we were swimming and began working on fixing a toilet issue among other things. The tech was nice and it wasn't an inconvenience but no one told us they were coming. Finally, the cleaning person showed up 30 min before our checkout time and it made us feel rushed to get out. It was just uncomfortable even though they didnt nothing wrong. Side note: we thought there was black mold on the main bedroom ceiling. The Guest Service Manager said a tech looked at it and claimed it was dust. I hope they were right but I dont know why it wouldn't have been dealt with before people rented it out.

We LOVED this home! This is our 4th time to Anna Maria. This home is one of our favorites. I can't think of one thing we didn't like about it. The home is cozy, the kitchen is well stocked and the backyard is beautiful. The location is great. Just a short mostly shaded walk to Bean Point. You won't be disappointed with this home. We booked it again for this September!

Great Place
We loved the location, off-street parking, landscaping in front and so beautiful and private in back! The little pool was perfect to take a quick dip or a leisurely soak after a day of ocean waves. The inside of this home easily accommodated six adults. We loved the oval dining table which hosted a very fun game of cards during a thunderstorm! We highly recommend 1) Oma’s Pizza- THE BEST STROMBOLI and all home-made right in front of you! 2) Small Town Creamery: Great local small business with many options (even dairy-free!) 3) Poppo’s: Burrito’s, Bowls, etc. all homemade and delicious! The only downsides for us were the following: There were many extra pillows but no pillow cases. There were no sheets for the pull-out sofa in the front room. But honestly, that was it! Great place and Great Vacation! We love AMI!

A Beautiful Getaway!
The beach cottage was very nice and comfortable. I loved that it was close to the beach. A very beautiful beach. It was very clean and had a wonderful kitchen to cook meals. We walked to beach several times a day. Awesome sunsets. So close to beach access. We had enough space for 7 ladies. The pool was very relaxing. The Wi Fi was not working during our stay. We could not watch tv. We had some trouble getting into house as code did not work. We called and they helped us get inside. Looking forward to going back! Awesome vacation!

We absolutely loved the harmony house. Plenty of room, easy breezy walk to bean point. We loved the vibe, all the tropical landscapes, and the sweet little soaking pool. It was a perfect island hideaway. Will say though make sure to bring any seasoning you need they don’t have anything like that.

Beautiful Outdoor Oaisis
This house might be a bit dated on the inside, but if you're like us, you're there for the FL sunshine and time by the pool! The outdoor oasis and screened-in porch are where we spent the majority of the time when at the house, and we loved it! The kitchen was great for cooking meals - plenty of knives, tableware, and cookware. The house is also in a great location, on the quiet side of the island. It's a shaded walk to the beach and a short walk to Pine Ave. (great for bike rentals, food, and shops). Besides the blast-from-the-past decor, the only other downside is that the pool might be small for any more than 3-4 guests. All in all, we really enjoyed this hidden gem!
