This place is amazing! We honestly couldn’t have asked for better accommodations. It was our first time to AMI and this place felt just like home. It has every single thing you could ever need. Having the bikes and beach equipment available was just icing on the cake. I would highly recommend staying here!

We truly couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to celebrate our anniversary than **Shell We Dance at Bean Point**.From the moment we arrived, the cottage just felt special. It was charming, comfortable, beautifully cared for, and had that relaxed Anna Maria Island feel we were hoping for. The backyard and pool area were amazing — private, peaceful, and the perfect place to relax together.The location was absolutely incredible. Being so close to Bean Point (Our pup was originally named Bean Point when we adopted him) gave us some of our favorite memories from the trip — watching the sunrise and sunset, riding bikes around the island, walking the beach, BBQ'ing by pool, and the peace and quiet this time of year!! It was simple, peaceful, romantic, and exactly what we wanted for our anniversary getaway.We also want to give a special thank you to Goose, the Property Manager, and to the owners, Don and Sally. The customer service from beginning to end was exceptional. Everyone was welcoming, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our stay memorable. Allowing us to check in early at no additional charge for our anniversary was such a thoughtful gesture and one we truly appreciated.This was much more than just a place to stay — it became part of a really special anniversary for us. We left with some wonderful memories and are already talking about coming back.Thank you, Goose, Don, and Sally, for helping make our stay so special. Bill and Jess
