Great place for a beach getaway. Parking is tight at this place and if you have two vehicles make sure you stay off the sidewalks. They love to issue parking tickets.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 September 2026
There is plenty of room to park 2 vehicles at the cottage. These guests had 2 large pickup trucks and could have pulled up the driveway to fit both trucks without parking on the sidewalk but did not and received a ticket. I do not believe you can park anywhere in the country on a sidewalk without getting a ticket. Parking on the island is at a premium and they are very strict about parking.

What a great cottage. My wife and I have stayed in multiple rentals from the mountains to the beaches and I have never stayed anywhere where we never needed anything. Such a a fantastically stocked rental. On top of that it was spotless and as my wife says "so beachy and tropical. We will definitely be back.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! The owner was so great to work with and the cottage was perfect! A short walk to the beach and all the restaurants. We flew in and did not have a car, the cottage was equipped with everything we needed for a beach weekend, towels and chairs and coolers so it was perfect! We enjoyed the screened in back porch and the comfy recliners in the living room. Thanks!

Perfect location, close to pretty much everything. 2 blocks to the closest beach access or 5-minute drive to Bean point beach access (our favorite beach to chase sunset). Everything is beautifully decorated and we love the backyard. This house has everything we need. We felt like home while we were here. Cindy was responsive and accommodating. We love Anna Maria and have been here multiple times and this is our best stay. We will definitely stay here again.
