The house was super cute and the location is perfect!! The house has everything you could need and more and the beach is steps from your back door. It is located by everything!! Thank you for an amazing visit!! ♥️♥️

We loved our stay at this beach house. It's quieter on the north end which I appreciated. I practically lived on the porch. It was my favorite room. The beach access was lovely, and we spent a lot of time there. The shed was well stocked with beach equipment too. We will come back.

Our expectations were met and then some! This really is a special place, and we can’t imagine going anywhere else now. The jungle walk to the beach, sunsets under the palm trees and walks to see wildlife on Bean Point both delighted us and our 12 and 8 year old. Can’t wait to return!

This is a great little house in an outstanding location. The beach access is great, as are the grounds accessible between the home and the beach. There’s a ton of value in staying here due to how well appointed the property is as well as how convenient it is to get to shops and restaurants on the north end. Thanks a ton!

The perfect place for a relaxing beach vacation at one of the most beautiful places on earth!! We hope to be back again soon.

We loved our stay at this traditional beach bungalow! Just the right size for our small family, with beautiful landscaped grounds and private path to the beach. We took advantage of the quality, modern appliances to cook Thanksgiving dinner. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need - including containers for leftovers! The beds and linens were very comfortable, and the central A/C was quiet and efficient. We took advantage of the provided beach cart and beach chairs, which are provided along with bikes, kayaks, beach toys - everything you would want for an active day at the beach. I highly recommend this property for your next beach vacation!

Our stay was very enjoyable. The house was neat and clean and it suited our needs. The weather was perfect which made our stay that much better.

This property has everything you could imagine for a tropical and relaxing beach getaway. The island location and expansive white sand beach with lovely sunsets over the gulf are hard to duplicate. This home is definitely worth a return visit.

We took our first family vacation with our 1 year old and this house was absolutely perfect! Felt just like home, comfortable beds, impeccable backyard area and just steps to the most beautiful beach. You are close to some of the best restaurants and shops Anna Maria has to offer. We loved our stay and were sad to leave!

Perfect home for a beach getaway! Kari is so helpful and the house has everything you need for a relaxing stay :)

Property was in amazing condition and really reflected the Florida classic beach vibe. Loved the beach access. We plan to come again next year! Thank you..

We returned for our 5 stay over the past 16 years , but our first since 2016 and our first as empty nesters. This place was absolutely perfect. The home itself was clean and spectacularly decorated. The storage building was full of chairs , a cart, umbrellas, including an ice chest to use. The backyard and access to the beach (northern point - less crowds ) made for easy in and out to the beach and allowed for quick trips to refresh or grab something. We look forward to returning again in 2024.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Sea Garden. The cottage and location were perfect! Kari made everything so easy! Thank you!

this is our second time staying at the Sea Garden and there will be many more stays in our future - we absolutely love it here. Kari is amazing, communication is perfect. Thanks for hosting our family again, Kari!

This location is perfect! If you are looking for a low key vibe this rental is for you! The beach was never crowded and absolutely beautiful! The cottage was very clean, and had everything you needed! We loved the extra garden shed filled with chairs, sand toys, beach wagon, bikes, games ect. We absolutely LOVED this location! Thank you Kari!

It was great! The house was a short walk to the beach which was not over crowded with people! Would definitely stay here again!

I sincerely don’t understand the 1 negative review above- we’ve stayed here a few years now and it’s a slice of heaven! Everything is so comfortable and well maintained and everything our family of 4 could possibly want. We’ve stayed a week each time, enjoyed cooking most meals in a fully stocked kitchen, doing our laundry so we didn’t have a ton of work to come home to and all starting supplies are provided for you! Kari is excellent to communicate with- super responsive to questions/concerns. It’s evident that the owners are constantly pouring themselves into the property and updating things. They have everything there for your use…. I’ve always been of the mindset of giving constructive feedback if I have some- I texted Kari a couple things and she headed out there same day to make sure they were taken care of. It’s an invaluable service to go on vacation and feel like the owners go to the ends of the earth to make sure you have a good vacation and are taken care of and happy. This will be a yearly rental for us for years to come 💕

Simple things matter when you are trying to escape daily life for just one week of the year! Unfortunately, this quaint little place, that has so much potential, is filled with neglect. -no warm water upon arrival, 36 hour response time from property manager in charge -dirty linens (towels, sheets) upon arrival (makes sense why we were able to get in 3 hours sooner than check time) -lots of ants around the home -low water pressure all week -dirty, uncomfortable furniture -did not run the ceiling fans due to layers of dust, similar to that of the AC vents Our 5th yr in AMI…never again here. ☹️

We really hated to leave!! But he cottage is adorable. It’s very well stocked. Beds are comfy. There are lots of beach toys/chairs. It rained quite a bit so we spent most nights having dinner in the screened in porch, which we loved! Thanks for allowing us to spend our vacation there!

Making memories

Located in a wonderful area on Anna Maria Island. The direct private beach access was so convenient. Sea Cottage, even though small in square feet is laid out in such a way that occupants never felt crowded. The pace on the island lends itself to a laid-back vibe. The golf cart rental was the perfect way to buzz around the island. We could not have asked for a better host. Kari was so responsive during the booking process and with any questions we had along the way. We are already talking about booking again!

Wr just spent 10 wonderful days at this property. It’s close to everything. Biking to many places is the best. I will say though that’s it’s not exactly gulf/beach front considering the walk to get to the beach. It’s a good 200 steps, but a lovely walk through a ‘rain forest’ like landscape and then through the dunes. If I’m on beachfront I want to see and hear the ocean. The sunsets were amazing. Don’t worry about beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, beach cart, towels, cooler, noodles, bikes, kyaks - this place has ALL of that. My only complaint is it could have been cleaner than it was. For the money to rent it, more detail should have been shown, especially to the back screened living area. We had a couple of concerns and all we did was text Kara, the property manager, and it was immediately taken care of. All in all, it’s a great place. The cleaners just need to be more attentive to detail.

This is the best place to relax instantly! We enjoyed the direct access to the beach including the possibility to swim, walk, watch all the animals or kayak between dolphins…. The house has everything we needed, the beach equipment was perfect, the outdoor shower is great and the garden is unique! Outstanding is the great communication with Kari. We will come back next year. Sibylle and Andreas from Hamburg/Germany

We stayed at Sea Garden over the Christmas holiday. The cottage was exactly as pictured, and as other reviews mention, was clean, well decorated, had everything you need, and in the most amazing location on the island. The kitchen is well stocked and we appreciated some key staples like olive oil, salt & pepper, spices, etc. being available. Just outside is a shed with bikes & helmets, beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, even 2 kayaks - truly amazing. Kari is the most gracious and responsive host! We can't wait to return!

House was even better than the photos and the location was perfect. The house had all of the beach toys you could need and an incredibly well stocked kitchen. Kari gave us all of the info we needed, too. We look forward to coming back!

This was our second early December trip to AMI, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice of accommodations. My spouse actually found this place while we were on the island the previous year, and we booked it mostly based on location. In addition to the great location, the house was so comfortable, with the perfect amount of space for us with two adults and two young kids. The well stocked shed with really nice beach equipment and the outdoor shower really great for us, and we made full use of kitchen and grill, only eating out twice during our week stay. We plan to be back again and again. Thank you for making such a great place available.

This is our second time at this property. Beautiful surroundings, easy nature walk to the beach without getting on any roads, and a relaxing feel all around. Those managing the property are great at being in touch.

Property was great. In a beautiful part of AMI, with super easy private access to an almost empty beach! House had everything we needed; especially enjoyed the bikes and beach supplies.

This was our 2nd stay at this property. We like that its a short stroll to the beach but yet surrounded by mangrove and shade trees hence nice private, easy walk to the beach which is beautiful. Well stocked with beach toys, bicycles and extras.

We enjoyed our stay here. The location was great and close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Outdoor shower was perfect, kitchen was nicely stocked, and the beds were comfortable. There were plenty of beach chairs and bikes in the shed. Nice place!

I have nothing bad to say about this property. Perfect location, charming cottage, beautiful grounds - great for adults and kids. Kari was a pleasure to work with, can't wait to come back!

Our family rented this house and the sister house nearby. Both houses were spotless, so nicely decorated and in the perfect location. We absolutely loved our stay!!!
