We have been to Anna Maria Island four times and this is the best place we’ve ever stayed. Pictures do not do the place justice! It was very clean and very quaint. Close to everywhere we like to go. A street away from Pine street, Ginny and Jane’s and the water front restaurant. Easy walk to the beach. The screened in porch was a nice touch, especially for morning coffee. We would love to stay here again.

We took our two young kids and stayed a week at this property and had a great time! The house was clean, as described, and had everything we needed. A short walk to the beach and shops and restaurants made is a great location and we took many walks to check out the area. We loved all the area beaches and spent a lot of time in the pool. It was great that the pool was heated seeing as the temps were in the low 60's a lot of the time. Would love to stay here again and would recommend to anyone!

Our stay here was good. We don’t spend a ton of time indoors while we’re on vacation so a decent place to sleep is all we’re asking for. The pool is great here. So nice to have the option to hang out by the pool during your stay. The property managers are quick to respond and helpful! If you’re looking for modern, upper scale this probably isn’t your place. If you’re looking for a cute little beach house close to the gulf side and walkable to the pier with a pool, this is your place! Super happy with our stay.

The house was beautiful, clean and we enjoyed our stay in Anna Maria Island. When we arrived, checkin information was not recieved from the real estate agent, and they could not be reached because it was on a sunday, not even on the emergency line! That was a huge bummer, we went to the office and fortunately an employee arrived to drop something off. Hé helped us. The house itself we loved and also the swimming pool and surroundings.

The overall property was perfect. There was plenty of room for my whole family. We loved the pool!! Great location! We had an awesome vacation.

Very nice place for a family

Our stay was amazing! The low cleanliness rating was due to the pool needing cleaning attention. Someone came out the next day to take care of the issue.

We loved everything about this property! Great location!

Anna’s Cottage is a cute place and was perfect for 8 adults. It’s not super fancy, but is very cozy and has everything you need. It’s as advertised, although we didn’t use all the amenities. The house is within easy walking distance of the beach, restaurants and shopping. The property management was responsive and easy to work with. We had a few people in our group who had a later departure and the management company allowed our kids to store their luggage in their office until they had to leave. Would definitely recommend it!

We loved our time at Anna’s cottage! The place was very comfortable and homey. We enjoyed both the pool and the quick walk for time at the beach, or to shopping and good restaurants.

We really enjoyed the cleanliness of the home, the location, and the multiple (inside and outside) living spaces. Beds were comfortable and the pool was warm and inviting. It is an older house so not without it's little quirks but honestly we appreciate and love the older homes on this island! The laundry room is outside and acts as a storage room as well for beach items (a couple chairs, floats, a wagon) and there was also a storage trunk in the backyard with pool toys. We very much appreciated that! We would definitely rent this house again.

Let me start off by saying if this was my property I would want to be aware of what we experienced. I would say the property just isn’t being well taken care of outside. First the pool heater wasn’t working. And this was the reason we picked this place bc if it was cold temps outside no big deal bc my kids could still swim. I emailed the day we arrived asking if the heater could be turned on/up bc it was freezing, seemed to be pushing out alittle warm water Sunday evening but not enough to make it swimmable, pool guy finally determined Tuesday it needed replaced. They weren’t able to swim the entire 7 days we were there. (Actually 6 days bc we left a day early to go to a hotel so they could at least swim 1 afternoon before heading back to snow. The heated pool was all they have talked about for months prior.) I do understand 8-9 days prior to us arriving a storm came through. But when we arrived the patio area was full of debris. I tried finding a broom to at least be able to walk outside without tracking everything inside. Broken chair leaning on a tree (not storm related the seat fell in) and a couple other random chairs on their sides randomly in the side yard. Now if this was my house and it was being managed by a real estate company I would have expected someone to check on the property making sure it’s cleaned up enough for the guests arriving/broken chairs removed etc. The pool was filthy from the storm which I totally understand and that clearly wasn’t an issue since no one was swimming. We did receive a small refund after I asked how this could be made right bc of the pool heater. Unfortunately the pics online esp of the outside were much nicer. Didn’t quite look the same in real life. Not much pride in taking care of it. Inside the house was fine. Very clean which I appreciated. I have never written a not so great review so this was hard. But if this was my house I would want to know all of this. Just overall was bummed.

Was a great trip

Overall a nice house.. listing stated DVD player and outside fire place but did not have these... frig and washer could be updated... but overall nice house and great location!

Perfect property for us. Clean and comfortable. Lovely garden and close to nice restaurants, shops and beaches

I loved it

The house accommodated my family perfectly. Kitchen is well supplied, pool was clean and water temperature was perfect. Location is very convenient. One thing that was not good was the communication with the person in charge. I was given the wrong access code and arrived after the realty was closed. I sent Kevin a message on Friday about the code and backyard grill and I got a response on Monday almost 5am. If the side door of the house was not inappropriately unlocked, my family and I would be out on the street until Saturday morning, when the realty was opened. However, the house is so nice that I would rent it again despite this inconvenience. Overall, we had an awesome stay at Anna's Cottage!!!

Absolutely loved the house, the location, and everything about our vacation. House has everything you need and was very clean. We appreciated the beach and pool toys, chairs, and "starter kit" to get us going with things like toilet paper, paper towels, and dishwashing detergent. We rented a golf cart and explored the entire island, but we really enjoyed the northern part where the house was located. You could honestly get by without a car (especially if you have groceries delivered). Great bars, cafes, restaurants and shops all within walking distance. Anna Maria beach was 2 blocks away, but we preferred to take the golf cart a few blocks north to Bean Point. Beaches were beautiful everywhere, but Bean Point was less crowded, and the water is fairly calm near the tip of the island. I would definitely rent this house again. If I was forced to nitpick, the only somewhat negative thing I could say is that, if you go in the summer, the pool is very warm. But I think that's due to the size of the pool and the hot Florida sun beating down all day. But like I said, that's a very small thing and it wouldn't keep me from renting Anna's Cottage again.

Very clean and cozy very easy people to work w. We will be back

Property clean, larger than pictures, could use some new beach chairs.

No problems

We couldn’t have asked for anything more. This property is clean, spacious and provided all of the cookware we needed to make Thanksgiving dinner. Total beach vibe. Walking distance to everything. The pool area was great and close beach access made for the perfect getaway. Definitely will stay again!

The cottage was perfect for our family of 4 (parents, 18 and 10 yr olds) Everything is well taken care of, and CLEAN! The kitchen is fully stocked, and the extra beach toys, cooler and chairs were an unexpected bonus. There is room to spread out and plenty of outdoor space. The location of the property is a short walk to the beach, several shops and restaurants. If you stay more than a few days, I would recommend renting a golf cart...easier than trying to find parking. There is a free trolly that goes around the island. Be sure to check out Waffle press, Pineapple Marketplace and The Ugly Grouper.

Property was clean. Perfect Location. Easy Walk to Beach. Had a great time. Property manager was quick to respond and on it.

The only thing we found disappointed in is with the kitchen and bedroom furniture. We had to clean the pantry and the cupboards with Clorox wipes as there were some sort of black droppings in the cupboards. The drawers in the bedroom dressers were not clean and there was dust, some heavy on the dressers and blinds. Other than that we enjoyed our stay very much.

Perfect

Perfect stay for our group of six, as everyone had their own bed and the property was big enough that we all had our own space. Very short walk to the beach and to all of the local spots that the kids wanted to frequent (Donut Experiment, Ice Cream, etc.). The cottage had all the necessities and quite a few extras that we appreciated, like games for a rainy afternoon, extra pillows and blankets, access to streaming services, and an outdoor shower for washing the beach off. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the great stay!

We just returned from a wonderful stay at Anna's cottage. The home is clean and very homey, with a perfect location to walk to the gulf, bay, shopping and dining. The neighborhood is quiet and attractive. We loved sitting in the pool after a day at the beach! The kitchen is very well equipped. Loved the upstairs bedroom and bath!! We also enjoyed the screened in front porch! We will return!

Loved our two weeks here, house has a very cozy homey feel.... love the décor.... felt at home right away! The pool was lovely and warm. Location is great... walking distance to so many places... enjoyed the screened porch... all in all an great spot....

My family and I return to Anna's Cottage every year and we love it. The owners pay special attention to every detail. We won't stay anywhere else!

Thanks - had a great time. We have been coming to Anna Maria for several years now, always looking for that perfect house in our perfect "Old Florida". I think we found it this time. The location was great as we could walk to everything, the beach, the City Pier, the deli on Pine and Ginny's and Jane's. The house was perfect for us, all 7 of us. Just great. The pool was nice and warm, and perfect for a late afternoon meeting before dinner. When we rented the house we also put in for "warm weather in Feb' and sure enought SATO Reality made that happen also. Great job by all. Thanks again, and we will be back.
