My wife and I booked this unit for a week. It was the perfect size for two people. The king bed was very comfortable. It was clean and roomy with awesome views and great beach access. The kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils and dishes. We will definitely book this place again.

We had a very relaxing peaceful time and with the beach just steps out the front door made it even better. The house was very clean and the kitchen had every utensil that anyone could need. There was not only a coffee maker, but there also was a Keurig. The sunsets are absolutely beautiful and I would recommend this place to anybody. We cannot wait for our next vacation there!

Great

One of the best kept secrets on Anna Maria Island. Beach walkout. A touch of Old Anna Maria. The garbage can lid is broken —- big deal. Need a new Damp Rid in closet.

This cottage was perfect! We loved being able to walk out our door and have the beach right there. It was clean, cozy, and comfortable with a view of the water through multiple windows. The shower had great water pressure with plenty of hot water. There were chairs for the beach which we appreciated. We thoroughly enjoy our stay here.
