Mini vacation

The house location is perfect, no need to use the car. The house cleaning was okay. The house was amazing and perfect size and amount of rooms. The beds were huge where more than two people could fit in. My favorite the kitchen and the patio. Perfect house to relax and spent your vacation. I highly recommend it. My family had a great time and can’t wait to go back.

Family vacation perfection

Our family vacation at this beach house in Florida was an absolute winner! Nestled just a short walk from the beach, this place hit all the right notes for a relaxing family getaway. The house was not only spacious but also spotlessly clean, making us feel like we could unwind and enjoy our time together. We had plenty of rooms and the beds were very comfortable, with the kitchen being a great plus for having what we needed to make our meals as a family. We even baked cookies! The kids had a blast; we all walked the short distance to the beach each morning while the grandparents enjoyed shopping and the gentle ocean breeze. What really set this vacation rental apart was the fantastic pool – a haven for both the little ones and the grown-ups. Evenings were spent grilling by the poolside with views of palm trees and starry skies. With its prime location, cleanliness, and the added bonus of a pool, Gulf Shore Cottage surpassed our expectations. Book it, you’ll enjoy this gem of a place to stay for your island vacation!

Amazing location

This place was just perfect! Better than expected. Photos don't do it justice as its such a cute and cozy place. Very clean and completely updated. The only small thing was bbq pan was not cleaned but that is it! No complaints here. Easy to get in and out of. Literally a 2 minute walk to the beach. This home is on the side of the beach so its a short walk to walkway into beach which was pretty amazing. Walking distance to market, restaurant and shops. If we come back to Anna Maria Island we will definitely stay here again! Also, the pool may be small but it was just perfect to cool down after a long day on the beach. Pool shower also makes it so easy and perfect to wash sand off too. We were 2 families. Total of 7. Two teenagers, one child and 4 adults. The rooms were perfect for all!
