THE COTTAGE
Blue Turtle Cottage is an Anna Maria Island vacation rental less than a minute walk to the 7 mile sugar-white beach that Anna Maria Island is famous for. Wow! a beach that stretches as far as the eye can see!
INTERIOR
Inside you will find the cottage meets your every need. The kitchen has new granite counters, stainless steel appliances and has been newly outfitted with everything you need. The living room features a flat screen TV with expanded cable for your complete entertainment. Each tropically decorated bedroom is a private oasis with its own TV, new quality cushion top mattresses, and private closet.
EXTERIOR
Walk out the front door and you can hear and smell the ocean because it is only 2 houses to the beach! You will never need to miss a morning beach walk or a breathtaking sunset. This also makes it infinitely easier to go back and forth from the beach all day long when you are this close.
In the private, tropically landscaped backyard you'll find the sparkling blue pool with plenty of tropically colored chairs around it to lounge in. You won't always have to go out to eat, BBQ on your barbecue and eat al fresco at the outdoor dining table. There is also a refreshing outdoor shower to wash away the sand from the beach. You may have a hard time leaving to go anywhere else!
THE ISLAND
Anna Maria Island is known for its laid back, old Florida vibe. A perfect place to come and unwind in an unhurried atmosphere that allows you to decide whether you want to adventure or just relax - whatever your mood.
IF you do decide to leave your private oasis, there are plenty of other activities on the island. Anything from a leisurely bike ride to a fun game of mini-putt to a heart-pounding parasailing ride.
If you want a night off of cooking there are also many good restaurants right on the island. Some are beachfront, - what a treat!
OUR ADVANTAGE
We are always available to our guests for any query or local information and offer a superior personalized experience. We have tried to anticipate all your vacation needs so you can just focus on enjoying your time on Anna Maria Island. Don't worry about bringing beach towels/toys/chairs, we have provided them!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Michele Totino

We are a native Toronto, Canada family who fell in love with laid-back Anna Maria Island.
Whenever we can get there we love to enjoy the family oriented small beach town feel on the island. Here we get to connect and slow down from busy city life.
In our family we have an ocean/beach lover, and a swimming pool lover, and we all enjoy the sun and nature! And Blue Turtle Cottage has it all!

Why they chose this property
We loved this house because of it's proximity to the beach, the private pool and the quiet neighborhood. Everyone who stays at Blue Turtle Cottage agrees that there is something magical about it that is hard to put your finger on.
What makes this property unique
When you step outside the front door of the house you can smell and hear the ocean. Turn left then right as you come out the front door, wave at your friendly neighbors walking or biking by, and in 30 seconds you're at the beach.
If you have a few errands to run turn right and walk or bike a few short blocks and in a few minutes you're at the stores.
Want to go further? Turn left and left and you're at the free trolley stop in a minute. The trolley will take you all over the island.
There are few locations on the island that offer all these advantages and conveniences. All this in a quiet, friendly, safe neighborhood.
