Beachside gem

We loved the historical feel of the cottage and proximity to the beach. It was a relaxing, rejuvenating visit and we appreciated the hospitality basket upon our arrival. We have found most VRBO’s do not offer this simple but much appreciated touch. On top of everything, the owner, Alice, is a delight

Relaxing

This was one of the most relaxing vacations we have ever had. If you are wanting to relax and enjoy the beach this is the place for you. Old Florida is the vibe with everything you would need for two! Very clean, bed was comfortable, well supplied for us to get away and reset before the new year.

My wife and I go over to Anna Maria often but wanted to try something different for a few days. This was a very cozy place, close to everything. It is small but perfect for two. We will definitely go back as we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely Stay!

This place is in the perfect location for a wonderful beach get away. Steps from the beach with breathtaking sunrise walks and sunset shows. The beach chairs and umbrella were a nice perk as well. The space was cozy, comfortable, and the air condtioner cold! Alice is a fantastic communicator and was prompt to answer all my questions. Close to the grocery store and restaurants. 10/10 would stay here again. My only complaint is that I did not stay long enough.

Great Stay

Thanks to all of the prior raters who gave this property such a good reputation. It’s very clean, is well maintained, has beautiful grounds, is only steps to the beach, is centrally located, has a grocery within walking distance…. Too many good things to list. We were fortunate enough to meet our host and she’s just the most pleasant and likable person. Great stay all around!!

Quite getaway

Loved the property location. Close to everything you need. It is a duplex yet it still felt very private. I would highly recommend this place for a weekend getaway or a week long trip for two. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. Alice the owner was so nice and it was nice to meet her.

A slice of paradise

My husband and I had a wonderful long weekend in Cottage 2 and will definitely be back. It's an amazing place - the property reminds me of what Florida used to look like, but stores and restaurants are so close... We loved the cottage and the hospitality was amazing, from the welcome sign with our names on the door to the basket of goodies waiting for us. We can't wait to come back.
