Directly on the Beach! Beautiful Ground Floor Condo. Sunsets every night!

This is a beautifully updated clean condominium inside and out.

Enjoy Anna Maria Island's white sandy beach, waterfront restaurants, quaint shopping and even a local theater. The free trolley has a stop across the street and invites you to visit the entire Island.

Please feel free to email or call me for any questions you may have.

Check in time is 3:00 p.m.
Check out time is 10:00 a.m.

We do allow one pet under 30 pounds. $100 non-refundable pet fee.

Cozy Condo Just as Described
My 18 year old daughter, her best friend and her mother and I stayed at the adorable cozy condo for 3 nights after 3 nights in Orlando on a girls trip. We found everything to be just as described. The beds are comfy, the property feels safe, the unit was spotless and very well appointed with all the necessities and more. We would absolutely consider staying here again. Thank you, Jeffrey, for sharing your little piece of the island with us.

Peaceful bliss
This was a sister trip.The property was in the perfect location with oceanfront view and walkout to the beach. Evenings sitting on the beach were the best. On our last night, the baby turtles emerged out of their nest. So very cool to watch. The inside was well equipped with everything we needed. The furnishings and beds were very nice and comfortable. Well worth our drive from NC.

Excellent Stay as Always!
The location of this unit cannot be beat. Always clean and the owner is incredibly responsive. We love the access to the beach as well as all of the beach chairs, umbrellas and toys available for use. This was our third summer in this unit and we will be back next summer!

You are physically steps from the beach. We listen to the waves at night through the bedroom window and you get a view from the living room as well. Great stay will definitely be back.

Great little condo, clean and comfortable, best part for us was the location, awesome stretch of beach, not too crowded, water was incredible! Nice shower/hose to rinse sand off. Unit well stocked, beach chairs and umbrella, small kitchen but functional with anything you might need.

Wonderful location but dirty
Pros: Absolutely wonderful location. Tons of towels and extras. We loved staying here which is why we were able to overlook the rest. Cons: Too much furniture and decor for such a small space. I'd recommend taking out all the bookshelves that no one will use. There was a ton of sand in the beds and we had to wash our own sheets. The floors were dirty, there is mold in the shower, the beds were lumpy and old. I would expect at almost 2 grand for 3 nights, for it to be clean.

Beachfront
Excellent location. Beach was a step off the porch. Beach chairs and umbrella worked real well. A/C worked well, had no problem with the tv. Worked fine. Only issue was there were too much furniture so it was a little hard to move around. I’m really searching now to find something to complain about. Very happy with our stay.

Clean, Quaint, and Convenient
My husband and I had a wonderful first experience staying on Anna Maria Island! The property was very clean and inviting. It was perfect to walk right out our door and onto the beach. There were also nice beach chairs and other items for us to use. There were plenty of towels, kitchenware, etc. We have no complaints and would definitely stay in Shell Cove #2 again! The condo is in a convenient location on the island as well. It is close to a mile to get to the group of restaurants and shops south of the condo. While you can take the free trolley (and it is very nice), we typically just walked to dinner. There is another grouping of some stores (including Publix) about a mile north of the condo, so overall very convenient!

Amazing Beach
I was at this property with a friend. We were looking for a quiet getaway and that’s exactly what we got. The beach is beautiful. We were easily able to access the local shuttle to get to restaurants and bars. The house has all you need, but we did not spend a lot of time, nor plan to, inside.

Beds need to be replaced, bad lighting, too much furniture, needs to be updated, very disappointed
I was very disappointed. The unit needs to be updated. Pictures didn’t show the unit as is. Too much furniture for a small space. I received pages of rules after renting the unit, can’t adjust the AC and so much more. The rules were excessive. Rule cards posted everywhere!! Lighting very poor, too dark. Too much furniture, needs to be removed. Beds are old and need to be replaced. Black towels in the bathroom- can’t tell if they were clean or not. Just gross. Very small fridge. Old kitchen utensils. Overall I wish we found a different place. One parking spot per unit with no additional parking. Guest parking only available for 4 hours. No follow up after our stay. Couldn’t wait to leave.
