Shell We Dance? Charming Bungalow with Fabulous Location and Private Pool!

Like so many homes on Anna Maria Island, our home was severely flooded. Professional photos are coming, but until they are in, we thought you may enjoy a sneak peek!
We made a few needed changes in the floor plan, and believe it is at its best ever! We cannot thank those who reached out to us and wished us well, and those understanding guests whose vacations were upended by the storm and its toll on our humble home. It is with much gratitude that we thank you for your kindness, understanding, prayers, and love. Shell We Dance is back and better than EVER!!
Sweet vintage 1950's bungalow/cottage with all the charm of the island! Beautifully decorated, fully fenced back yard with private pool, (second building is the original garage where bikes and beach gear are stored). Located on the island's much sought after north end, it is a short walk to Bean Point Beach, Bay Front Beach and Park. Crystal clear waters of the gulf, white sands, and island breezes await!

2 bedrooms, 2 baths. Cozy living room with queen sized foldout sofa, screened in lanai, kitchen, and laundry room. With full sized washer and dryer included in the home and complimentary bikes to explore the island. Other items at the home for your use during your stay are beach towels, pool toys, beach chairs, a cart to roll all your gear to the beach, and pack-n-play for baby. Many accoutrements included!

Relax, unwind, and dance like no-one is watching!

Cute beach home close to Bean Pointe! This was our second time staying at this property. This home was perfect before, but has only gotten better with recent renovations after the hurricane in '24. The property is exceptionally clean and functional. You will love the pool and one of our favorite spots was the screened in lanai! The owners are incredibly responsive and they have a great team that manages their property!

Exceptional North End Cottage

Perfect cottage for our family of 5. The home was clean and provided every need for our stay. Everything was as the listing described. The home is just a short walk away from the Rod and Reel Pier and the north end of the beach to include Bean Point. Mostly original 50’s era home with a new, exceptional pool to relax and cool off in after a hot walk back from the beach. The owners were very prompt with replying to communication. You can not go wrong with this home in such a quiet, relaxed part of the island.

Shell We Dance

This house has an awesome outdoor space. My kids loved it and spent a lot of time in the pool. The house is small but very clean. Out of all the VRBO we have stayed in, this by far was one of the cleanest which I absolutely loved! The bikes were a plus and made it very easy to get to the beach, stores, and restaurants on the island. We had one little hiccup with the washer but it was taken care within 45 minutes. Great experience!

Great location

This home could not have a better location to the beautiful beach. It’s only about 1 1/2 blocks. The pool is brand new and beautiful. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the home but it is very small and things are older and worn. Ceilings are so low that our tall family members had to avoid the ceiling fans. The kitchen is original. Beds are comfortable and the house is clean. Overall this is a great location.
