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.

We had a great time here for a weekend getaway! We rented a golf cart and weren’t 2 minutes from restaurants, shops, and the beach. Highly recommend this Vrbo for your stay!
Location was wonderful and home was lovely. Pool and hot tub were very nice and clean. Gustavo was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely book this home again.
Turtle Cottage was the perfect place for a little January getaway. We appreciated the beach towels and chairs and wagon etc, that was so helpful on the short walk to the beach. The bed was very comfortable and we loved the extra pillows! The weather was a little chilly but the hot tub was amazing! Gustavo was very quick to respond to my questions. We plan to come back in the summer.
We love coming to Anna Maria Island. The beach is absolutely beautiful. Turtle Cottage is perfect walking distance to the beach and shopping. Great places to eat. Wonderful getaway!
We really enjoyed our stay. We for sure will go back, maybe a longer stay next time. The cottage was very clean and cozy. The patio and pool was a very nice and really enjoyed the pool area.
This place was perfect in every way. We loved spending time in the private pool and walking to the beach and the pier. It had everything we needed for a quiet getaway!
What a wonderful place to stay with my husband to celebrate my birthday. The location is close to the pier in a quiet neighborhood. We loved having our own private pool and hot tub. Would definitely stay again.
This was a great vacation for my family!! The place was awesome!!! It was clean and the pool was great!! We definitely intend on coming back!! Thanks for the great stay!!!
my Sister and I had a great time. The turtle cottage was a perfect place for us. We love the pool, the hot tub, the outdoor shower and being two blocks from the beach we literally parked our car and walked or rode bikes everywhere. We will definitely stay here again. The location is perfect.
Our 7th visit to Turtle Cottage. So relaxing and so close to the beach. Always shop at my favorite thrift shop at Rosen Church. Minnie's Cafe is great for breakfast among many other places. Farmers market was really nice. Enjoyed our stay as always.Steve and GailSeymour, IN
Very nice property, pool and hot tub outstanding. Everything inside clean and new (newer). Met the owner one day, when he was cleaning the yard, Gustavo was great! Would stay there again. Beach was about a two min. walk.
I had a fantastic experience at this property! The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, making it a perfect retreat. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring that all our needs were met promptly. The location was convenient, with easy access to Bean Point annd local restaurants. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations, and I would gladly return in the future.
What a lovely house with pool and whirlpool in perfect location! Ideal for two with fully equipped kitchen. We just Love it!

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.
