This was the cutest little house with a pool, very close to the beach and within walking distance of the Anna Maria restaurants and shops. I’d love to stay again.
We had an amazing stay at this charming & cozy home which was just a short walk to the beach & shops of Anna Maria. We could easily head out to see the sunrise and sunset , or afternoon coffee at local eatery. The backyard was private and peaceful !! Ideal for my morning yoga. Overall this home provided the perfect combination of comfort, location & charm !!!!!Thank you !!
Very nice, cozy property in easy walking distance to the beach and many local bars/restaurants and shops. The backyard and pool are a true oasis. All in all, we had a very nice time.
Very clean, nice size for a small family. Pool area was great after a day at the beach. We would definitely stay with your rental company again! Thanks so much.
Cozy Cabana was the perfect location for our family of 5. Short walk to amazing beach and refreshing pool after a day swimming in the ocean. Home was well stocked for cooking. I would rate this 5 stars and would book again
Property location was within walking distance of the shops and beach. Backyard was very private. The house was furnished with everything you might need and very cute. The bathrooms are very small so if you are a tall person, it will be difficult to fit into the shower. My husband is 6’2” and couldn't use it.
Beautiful home, updated and kept clean. Back yard and pool is amazing and was our most favorite spot. Guest shower is pretty small, beds are super comfortable, would recommend property getting 1 more fan or invest in ceiling fans for bedrooms. At night, it did get a little warmer than we like, and you can only turn the AC to 71, so we had to go buy a fan at Walgreens. Other than that everything we needed was supplied-beach towels, sand toys, wagons, and also all the kitchen amenities. Loved the location of the home on the quieter part of Anna Maria.
We stayed at the Cozy Cabana East this week, and it exceeded our expectations! I am a clean freak, literally having my husband check under beds and in closets with a flashlight to make sure things are extremely clean for our stay. The cleanliness of the home was perfect! We loved everything about the property. The property itself is located a little over one block from the beach, the owners provide a wagon and tons of beach items. It is also within walking distance of Pine Ave with lots of local shopping and restaurants. The property has every appliance you could need, it is very bright, the backyard with the pool is perfect for swimming, lounging, and grilling. It was a perfect piece of paradise, we highly recommend this property!
We enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cabana. The property was in great shape and an easy walk to the beach or restaurants. The backyard is fantastic. We'd definitely return in the future.
The home, backyard, and pool were beautiful. I loved that they provided beach towels, chairs, and a wagon to take everything to the beach. We would definitely stay again.
We stayed here as a family of 4 (including our 13 and 16 year old kids). Perfect size property for us. Very cute beach decor. Absolutely enjoyed the backyard for lounging, grilling, and eating outdoors. Swam in the heated pool literally morning, noon, and night (light show!). We didn't rent a car or golf cart (very busy March and none available), but rented bikes for the week. We either rode bikes or the island free trolley (including to get groceries). Our kids thought we were nuts to have bikes as our mode of transport, but it worked out great (since parking can be challenging when AMI is busy). I love cruising around AMI by bike, so relaxing. Short walk (about 5 minutes) to the beach with loaded up beach wagon. Awesome stretch of beach near property for walks/runs, watching surfers, gathering shells. Mandatory sunset viewing nightly! Do not miss it. Loved the food (the Sandbar, Blue Marlin, Wicked Cantina, Freckled Fin, Donut Experiment were favorites). 2nd time in AMI, so sad to be back in brown 40 degree MN. Thank you so much for a lovely week together.
House is very clean and nicely decorated. Backyard oasis with heated pool felt like a 5 star resort. Perfect location on north end of the island about one block from the beach. Big garage to store bikes.
Beautifully decorated with incredible private pool area
This property is in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk to the beach. With a little longer walk, about 20 min, you can get to the shops of Pine Avenue. The property is decorated beautifully, just as it appears on site. The backyard is incredibly relaxing and has shade during the day which is a nice break from the sun. The house was furnished with everything I needed, I would definitely recommend it!
We absolutley loved this Once Upon a Beach private home ! The cleanliness, the comfort and the updated chic decor (I've already copied a few things in my own home;) were only exceeded by the quaint island feel, the neighborhood and the proximity to the beach (4 minute walk!) The hosts provided everything we needed to fully enjoy our beach time and the kitchen felt just like home:) Can't wait to return!
Beautiful home, excelent location 10m walk to the beach and the backyard is like an oasis.
This is our fifth summer going to Ana Maria. We always enjoy the lay back atmosphere on the island.
This house was perfect for us (2 adults, 1 teenager, and most important our dog). The place was clean and has a beautiful backyard with pool and it is a 10 m walk from the beach.
The only criticism that I can have is that we had to clean again the dishes on the cabinets because they were not very clean.
We will try to rent again this place in our next holiday to AMI.
Our vacation at the Cozy Cottage in Anna Maria Island
The property is newly renovated and looks just like the pictures presented. It is tastefully decorated and has all the comforts of home. Everything you need for the beach is provided and the kitchen is well stocked. Some criticisms: The hot water tank is barely efficient for two people so I can’t imagine it being optimal for 4-6 people. Also the shower in the master bedroom was very slow to drain out of the tub. However the water pressure was excellent. Additionally the air conditioning is restricted to 71 degrees or higher which was not always adequate for sleeping at night.
