About this property

Get your beach time in at this poolside cottage between gulf and bay

Trust us when we say, you will surely fall in love with this quaint pastel cottage that still retains that old Florida charm.
In the slice of heaven that is Anna Maria Island, this personable resort is perfectly situated in the narrow area between Sarasota bay and the sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.
On your stay you can enjoy the resort’s heated pool lined with royal palms and overlooking the Bay, or take a few steps to reach the white sand beaches. There's a pier that you can fish off of or just sit on and watch the sky hues and wildlife.
Our cottage has a shaded porch and a cozy picnic area perfect for barbecues, nestled under a gazebo covered with tropical foliage.
The inside is decorated in a casual island style, with a light, open-space kitchen and living area with a brand new sofa-bed and chair. The Kitchen and bathroom have just been updated. Driftwood color floors have been laid throughout the cottage. In the bedroom there's a king size bed and a walk-in closet. The living area has a comfortable pull-out sofa bed.
The kitchen is well-equipped with anything you need to cook a great meal in the cottage.
You will have 2 free parking places available to you.
Beach towels and umbrellas are provided at the office and lounge chairs are on the beach for your use as a resort guest.
On the beach near the resort there are jet skis, kayaks and paddle boards available for rent.
Nearby you can find a large variety of excellent restaurants that will please everyone’s taste.
With just a fifteen minute walk or a short ride on the free trolley, you can reach Bridge Street, a charming shopping district where you can enjoy the small shops, boutiques, fresh food and mini golf. The trolley can take you up and down the island to explore different beaches, shops and restaurants.
The position on the south end of the island makes it easy to reach Longboat Key and St. Armand's Circle for out-of-the-ordinary shopping and dining. You can easily get to Sarasota to see The Ringling Museum, Sarasota Jungle Gardens, and the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. For boat tours to explore the island, see the wildlife, go fishing or just watch the sunset I recommend Captain Jerry Mayer amicruises.com.

Great Cottage

The cottage is very well done, totally updated and very clean. The location is great and the beach is across the street. Beautiful beaches! There is a small community pool to enjoy as well. My only critique is that the couch is old and not comfortable to sleep on... I would recommend they upgrade since everything else has been upgraded. Great stay and place to stay!

Great location, close to beach and bay

We enjoyed the property, it was clean and as advertised. Owner was very flexible to our check in, check out needs. We enjoyed the ability to watch the sunrise from the bayside dock in the morning and finish of the day with sunset at the beach across the street. Many restaurants and shops in walking distance made it easy to not have to deal with traffic. Thank you, we had a wonderful time!

Quiet, convenient, and beautiful

This is a cute cottage in a quiet location but an easy walk to great restaurants and of course, the beach! Walk to a pier for a pretty sunrise view, or across the street for a nice beach sunset (chairs, umbrella and towels are provided). Kitchenette has all the basics, comfortable king bed, lovely pool, 2 TVs (cable), WiFi. Seems like a mostly-adult area although that could have just been the time of year we were there. The hot tub and the end of one pier were evidently hurricane casualties, but don't let that stop you from enjoying this lovely retreat with an outstanding beach. We were very pleased and would happily go back!

Cute Cottage for beach stay

Very convenient to beach across the street and local restaurant. Cottage was cute and great closet space. Everything was here - including extra rolls of toilet paper and paper towels as well as a hair dryer. The kitchen is fine for light cooking and snacks but everything is here that would be needed. We had a great time and loved relaxing for the week!

Tradewinds Condominiums

We loved staying at this property! The check in was easy and friendly. There is a pool with lounge chairs and bathrooms to use (nice for the kids) and access to a peir where you can watch the sunrise or fish. The condo is a short walk from wicked Cantina and Gulf Drive restaurant which quickly became our favorites. Traffic can become congested in the area during the day but there are plenty of transportation options such as the monkey Bus, trolley and renting bikes. The condo was very clean beautifully furnished, the kitchen has a everything you need. The bedroom was big with 2 closests to use and the bed was very comfy. This was our first time coming to island and will definitely not be our last, hoping to stay at this place again in the future!

Perfect Property for a Perfect Stay

We loved our short week on Anna Maria island in this cute little cottage on the Tradewinds resort. Communication with the owner in the run up to our stay was 10/10, and she was able to answer all our questions and send through all the relevant information in good time The place was immaculately clean, and the property had everything we needed for our stay. The bed was super comfortable and there was plenty of storage. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed - perhaps a small kettle could be added - and there was an additional outdoor grill as well. The resort itself had an on-site pool, but also offered free sunbeds on the beautiful beach itself - just a few minutes walk away. Our cottage also came equipped beach umbrella, which was easy to transport and setup. In terms of location, the property and resort was ideally situated for all the island has to offer. The nearest supermarket was only a 5 minutes drive, and there was a stop for the free island trolley to take you up to the north of the island just outside the resort itself. It is also only a 15 minute walk down to Bridge Street where there is a clutch of restaurants and bars Overall, would 100% recommend this property and would gladly book again

Enjoyable Stay

The toilet leaked the whole time we were there. I reported it. Maintenance person came quickly to fix it but was unable to. I called the next day and ask about progress but the person I talked to wasn't sure. No one contacted me with any updates the rest of the week. Perhaps that's why the floor in the bathroom also needs to be repaired. Everything else was neat and clean. Living room and eating artupnbe updated.

BEST TRIP EVER

This was the best location for a beach vacation. The little village is right across of the beach, which has chairs easily accessible. The front desk provides you with towels as needed & there is a bucket full of beach supplies that you can use. There was no hot water when we got there but the maintenance people right on it & fixed it right away. They allowed us to use another shower while we were waiting. You will be in walking distance of many YUMMY restaurants and shops. Go to The Swordfish for sure. We will definitely be booking again next year.
