Was a wonderful spot at the end of a cul-de-sac. It felt secluded enough but also near plenty of fun places to spend your time. A beack across the street. Ice cream a 10 minute walk away. It was perfect

It’s wonderful to hear Bay Cottage by AMI Locals was the perfect balance of peaceful and convenient, Riley. Having the beach just across the street, ice cream within walking distance, and plenty to explore nearby makes it easy to enjoy the best of island life while still feeling tucked away. Thank you for your kind words. We'd love to welcome you back to Bay Cottage for another relaxing getaway on AMI.

We really enjoyed our stay. Perfect location, quiet, away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough for an easy walk or bike ride to the old bayside pier and beach, several coffee shops, restaurants and the general store. Perfect for fishing off the dock and getting on the water with our paddle boards, or just enjoying the view. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We plan on booking again. Thanks!

We're delighted the cottage had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to Bay Cottage for another relaxing escape on AMI.

This property was a wonderful last-minute find and worked out perfectly for our trip with friends who were staying nearby.The unit was tastefully furnished and nicely decorated. While it is on the smaller side, that was not an issue for us since we spent most of our days exploring the island. The kitchen was well-equipped with the cookware and utensils needed to prepare meals, although guests should plan to purchase basic cooking supplies and grilling essentials, as only limited provisions are provided.One of our favorite features was the dock, which was the perfect spot to enjoy coffee each morning. Everything in the unit functioned properly, and the air conditioning worked exceptionally well. The bathroom was small but completely functional. The water view from the living room was absolutely spectacular and added greatly to the overall experience.The building itself is fairly basic and shows its age in some areas, but the unit was comfortable and met our needs. The one improvement we would suggest is adding a table and chairs. Currently, there is no dedicated place to sit and enjoy a meal, either indoors or outdoors.Overall, we would recommend this property for travelers looking for a comfortable place to sleep, relax, and enjoy the island. We rented bikes during our stay, and the location made it easy to reach just about anywhere on Anna Maria Island. The laundry was a bonus too.

It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the waterfront setting, the cozy accommodations, and those peaceful mornings with coffee on the dock. That’s one of our favorite spots too. We appreciate your thoughtful suggestion about adding a dining table and chairs and will be sure to share it with the owner for consideration. We’re also glad the well-equipped kitchen, laundry, and convenient location made it easy to relax and explore everything Anna Maria Island has to offer. Thank you for the kind recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you back for another laid-back island escape!
