I can not say enough good things about this place. The location was perfect. Very short walk to the beach and plenty of places to eat nearby. The house was very clean and well kept and the owner was always quick to respond if we needed them. 10/10 will stay here again.

We had a lovely time. The property was very clean, well maintained and conveniently located.

Clean, well kept, well lit, accommodating with necessary amenities. Peaceful pool setting and great location on island. Communication was excellent.

Perfect place for a Girls Week Getaway! Easy walk to the beach and close to everything on the Island Carolyn is amazing! She provided wonderful recommendations for dining and activities. She even checked on us during our stay! Thank you for memories that will last a lifetime!!!

We absolutely loved the house, location and pool! It was perfect for our family of 4 with two teenagers (15 and 18). Just a 3-5 minute walk to the beach was amazing! Highly recommend!!

This was the absolutely perfect place for our family of 4 to stay on our first trip to AMI. It was spotless upon arrival and Carolyn was wonderful to work with. She was quick to respond and so helpful with any question I had. It was nicely updated with high end furnishings. It included everything we needed, including beach towels and a closet full of beach accessories. The full size washer and dryer was so nice and the pantry was so big and a wonderful bonus! The house had plenty of storage for everything we brought. The pool and lanai area was absolutely amazing and beautifully decorated and landscaped. It was our favorite part! The location of the house was perfect. It was a nice quiet street in a very nice neighborhood. You did not have to cross any of the busy streets to get to the beach. The beach access was directly at the end of the street, not even 2 blocks away. It was close enough to the main part of town that you could get to Pine street or Manatee Beach in just a couple minutes via golf cart. It was close enough to everything, but just far enough to not be too busy. It was very private and did not seem like a duplex at all. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone and we would definitely stay again.

Good communication with owner. Loved the pool area with shade, barbecue, and dinning table. I second the other reviewers about the good condition of this property.

The reviews of the property are exactly correct. Clean and tidy, well decorated, newly renovated. Proximity to the beach is amazing and absolutely a highlight of the property. We loved the pool and shaded dining area. Our 7 year old swam every day! The property owner/manager is attentive and responsive helping with a minor dishwasher issue we experienced almost immediately. We will absolutely be back and will stay at this same property again. Stop looking, you’ve found the best.

We absolutely loved our stay! The home was everything we had hoped it would be. Everything was extremely clean. The location couldn’t have been better. We are already hoping to book again for next year!

The property was very clean with contemporary decor. The kitchen and bathrooms were updated with luxurious finishes. The private pool on the property was a definite plus and our 3 yr old granddaughter preferred it over the beach. The owner was very responsive to all our needs. Oh yes and the beach was a 2 min walk. Would definitely rent again.

2 minute walk to beach in a well maintained property

We stayed at the Sand Dollar Cottage for a month in Feb/Mar 2022 and were delighted with this property. It was spotlessly clean upon arrival and beautifully decorated. The backyard pool and surroundings are a little bit of paradise! It is a very short walk to the beach and one block from the free trollley stop. The beds were very comfortable and having two bathrooms is a great plus. The kitchen has beautiful stainless steel appliances with an ice maker and plenty of cooking supplies. Carolyn is a delight to communicate with and makes sure her guests are comfortable with everything. I would not hesitate to recommend this property!

The house is in a great quiet neighborhood, and very close to the beach! Nice pool, well appointed kitchen, and the beds were very comfy! I would definitely consider staying here again!

We loved this property - it's updated, spotlessly clean, and the best location on the island. One block to the beach and walking distance to restaurants, shops, groceries, etc. The space is perfect for a couple or small family. The pool is a gem. The owner is so personable and responsive, and supplies great beach gear. While the condo shares a wall with another, we didn't hear a peep and the neighborhood is also very quiet. The weather can be cool and windy in early February, but the clear sunny days can't be beat!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sand Dollar Cottage. Property was as described, clean and well equipped for our visit (even had a pack and play and blender for smoothies). Our little one LOVED the pool, the covered shallow portion was perfect for her to splash and play in. It's just minutes from the beach and the wagon/chair/toys were so convenient. We enjoyed riding the trolley (stop just 1 block away) and rented bikes to ride around the north side of the island.

Fantastic!

First time on AMI but we loved it

All was exactly as pictured. Very nice.

Perfect. Place was clean and comfortable.

Place was very clean. Sometimes when we rent a place, we feel like we need to clean when we get there. This place was not one of those places. The pool was crystal clear and the pool area was decorated nicely with palm trees and other well-maintained landscaping. It made the whole pool area an escape from everything. Which is good because the overall neighborhood is just okay. It’s not that it’s run down or scary, it’s just not as nice as some of the other areas on the island. That’s really the only knock on this otherwise really nice property. Beach access was very easy, parking was great, location was pretty much central to the stuff to do on the north half of the island. Would definitely be willing to stay there again

This condo is perfect! It's super clean, modern and beautifully decorated. And the partially covered, warm pool with changeable led lights is very relaxing at night. I was also amazed how close the walk was to the beach. Finally, Carolyn is super responsive and a pleasure to talk to. She had the pool guy come out the next day, when I thought the pool heater wasn't working. She also gave me excellent restaurant recommendations. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it!

Family of four family vacation. Clean, roomy, pool, super close to beach with wagon, chairs, umbrella and tent. Everything worked we never had to contact anyone from beginning to end, Saturday to Saturday! We will definitely stay here again, we very much enjoyed the house and the location!

Just got back from a stay here with my family and we had a great time. The location was good and the house had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. This was our first visit to Anna Maria Island. Love that everything was provided for us to take to the beach. Would definitely return!

This rental was perfect for our family of four. We have two young girls and the small pool with sun deck was great, especially for my 1 year old. The property is conveniently located to the beach, just a short walk. This was our first trip to AMI, we already know we want to return and I will not look further for a place to stay as this property was perfect.

Such a great place! The listing is very accurate and was truly only a three minute walk to the beach. While this is a duplex it felt just as private as a single family home as we never heard our neighbors and still had our own private pool/ backyard. The home is beautifully renovated and super comfortable for our family. Carolyn was incredible and a real pleasure to communicate with.

This place was amazing and just what we needed! It’s super clean, well maintained and a very short walk to the beach. Carolyn was a great host and we will definitely stay here again.

This property was perfect for families with little ones! Pool is mostly shaded in the afternoon and evening. Neighborhood is quiet. Beach and bay are both very close and the host had a wagon, pool and beach toys, and an umbrella for the littles to stay cool in the shade. Would definitely recommend this place if you have small children! Also easy to communicate with the host as the stove had a crack in the glass and I wanted to let her know. She called me back immediately and apologized even though it didn’t affect our stay at all. She also gave us excellent recommendations for local places to eat with the kids and left us a pack and play for my toddler. Thanks for everything!!!

Very clean property. Would certainly stay here again.

Great property, with an easy walk to the beach. We enjoyed our stay and would book again!
