About this property

Turtle Cottage - Anna Maria Island

Great 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage on the quiet north end of island. The house is conveniently located and within walking distance (two short blocks) to the beach and close to the intersection of Gladiolus Street/Alamanda Road. This great getaway sleeps up to 4.

The cottage has an open floor plan and it is about 800 sq ft. The bedroom has direct access to a private patio area with washer and dryer. The living room has a sofa, which also becomes a comfortable queen bed. The property has been recently renovated (December 2019) and has a heated pool + spa and landscaping. My favorite spot of the house is the private outdoor shower with hot and cold water. The side door leads to the patio where you will find an outdoor dining area complete with oversized umbrella, outdoor shower, and electric grill. You will also find a beach cart to transport beach essentials to and from the beach.

**electric grill, beach chairs, umbrella and wagon are provided for your convenience**

The house is located on the very desirable quiet north end of the island. Specifically 2 short blocks from the very end. It is very peaceful and beautiful around this quite area with very low traffic, if any at all. You can easily travel across the island on the free trolley, which has many stops throughout the island. There are also many places who offer bikes and golf carts for rent. There are many restaurants, small shops and a Publix supermarket all with in 10 min max driving and reachable by bikes and golf carts. You can take a very short easy walk to the famous Rod and Reel pier/restaurant.

I'm always available on my cell phone and email. Feel free to contact me if you have any issues.

Overall a good experience, needs a few upgrades.

Loved the location, walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. One major complaint is the bed. It wasn’t a mattress, just several thick foams stacked together. No support and uncomfortably hot. We switched to the pull out sofa bed after two nights which was also uncomfortable. A real grill to use would also be nice.

Third Visit to Turtle Cottage

This was our third stay at Turtle Cottage. We LOVE it here. A few things are in need of improvement which I shared directly with the property manager during our visit. I would recommend a new mattress though, as this one is incredibly soft and not very comfortable, but I realize that’s a personal preference. Overall, we plan to come back for a 4th time! The location can’t be beat.

Quiet Getaway for Couples

Me and my husband stayed at Turtle Cottage from 9/4 - 9/7. It was our first time away without our kids since 2017. Turtle Cottage was exactly what we needed. It was clean, close walk to the beach, private, and quiet. Gustavo made the check in - check out process so easy and was always very quick to respond to messages. Such a special little place in AMI. Will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Gustavo Rodriguez

My wife, kids and I have been living in Florida for the last 20 years. We love the outdoors, especially the water. That is why a few years ago after a search for the perfect getaway we decided to acquire a little piece of paradise on beautiful Anna Maria island. It is a very special place with a small town feeling and pristine white sand beaches and we love to host visitors from all around the world in our cozy cottage named Blue Heron Cottage. We take great pride in ensuring our guests leave our place with great memories and the desire to come back.
