Great place! We will be back
This rental was great! It is in a perfect location, the beautiful north end of AMI. Jimmy, the owner, was great to work with and the property is in pristine condition. We will be back for sure!

Perfect spot between beach and shops
My hubby and I stayed here for a babymoon. It was a great decision! The location is perfect with a short walk to beach or longer (but not long) walk to shops/resturants - or a short golf cart ride! We took full advantage of the golf cart many times. I fortunately didn’t ride bikes or kayak, but the make amenities are great. Pool is clean and refreshing just like pics. Bathroom is updated. Supposedly they emailed instructions on entry after booking but I could not find them so took a bit to get in contact with manager at check-in… but then he was very responsive throughout! Def recommend for relaxing vacation if you want mostly chill beach time and some yummy food.

Amazing Anna Maria Visit
This cottage was the perfect getaway for 2 adults and 1 child. Great location- loved the golf cart, kayaks and paddle boards. We loved hanging by the pool and walking up to the rod and reel pier! Dan was great to answer any and all questions we had- we would definitely return!

We love the location. It’s on the quiet end of the island, but close enough to walk and ride bikes into town. Great pool. The place is very clean. The bikes, golf cart, and grill are nice perks But they all need to be updated or fixed.

Thank you Duane for the 5 star review! Yes the weather has been super unusually cold this Winter due to the very strong El Niño we are experiencing. Hopefully this is a one year anomaly. Hope to see you again soon!

A cute little place! Some of the online pictures were from another cottage- our place was not quite as nicely furnished. Blinds down in the bedroom that were never replaced during our stay. That said, it met our needs and the location was excellent. The pool and golf cart were wonderful extras! Good communication with the property owner and managers.

Hello Nancy, Glad you enjoyed your stay. The photos were of your cottage. We just went through a major remodel and the bathrooms are brand new and we painted and updated the decor throughout including all new furnishes. So if anything, the upgrades are much better than the old pictures pre-renovation. Pictures are being update next month. Also, the new custom blinds and window treatments were the last item and were installed the week after your stay.

We absolutely loved staying here. We totally lucked out booking this rental and being so close to Bean Point! Best beach at AMI. We could walk to the beach everyday and the beach wasn’t crowded at all. The girls loved the pool and the outside area was so nice and private with the 3 cottages. We would def stay her again.

Clean, quiet little cottage.
The location and cottage was cute and clean. I do feel it would have been a bit more pleasurable if furniture and outdoor amenities were updated. The bed was very hard and noisy and pillows werent fluffy at all, I didnt sleep well. Bikes, beach chairs, and patio furniture was rusted and the golf cart is outdated as well. I noticed all the other golf carts around the city were newer, electric, and seemed to go much faster than mine. The place was clean, but I feel it wasnt worth the 1300 I paid for only 3 days.

Great Location. Good accommodations.
The size of the cottage is great for two people. The location is wonderful! Close to shops and restaurants. You don’t need your car to go to any of these places, the golf cart is all you need. The Rod and Reel Pier is in walking distance. You can fish or eat at the restaurant. The cottage has all the equipment you need to enjoy the beaches. Definitely looking forward to visit again.

Quaint coastal cottage near Bean Point beach
Our family had a very nice stay at this property. The owners were very responsive and helpful with any information we needed. There was a golf cart that we were able to use nearby around town on most roads. The most difficult part was figuring out the parking situation closer to the beach and then finding parking for the beach access points. There are plenty of signs around indicating where one can and cannot park. The cottage itself is small but had all that we needed for a family of 4. Our kids slept on the pull-out couch. They had no complaints. :) The bed was clean and comfortable too. Check-in and check-out were easy as well. We had a great time and highly recommend!

A little quirky but great.
The cottage was clean and comfortable but laid out a little quirky. There are 3 doors but 2 are covered with furniture. The bed was very comfortable but there’s no place to put luggage. You have to unpack into the dresser but one of the main drawers is broken and unusable. The kitchen is great and we’ll stocked. Everything you need is provided. We loved that we didn’t need to buy the basics like coffee filters and dish soap. The golf cart was great! The bikes are rusted and we’ll worn but useable. We picked out 2 and road all over. There’s beach chairs and wagons available to walk the 2 blocks to the beach. However, the chairs are also rusted and worn. Two were broken and unusable. We didn’t use the kayaks or paddle boards due to wind. We looked at the kayaks and the seat in one was completely destroyed. The location of the cottage is great. One block from Rod and Reel pier and 2 blocks from Bean Point. The pool is amazing and we used it every day. The cottage was adequate for the week but could be improved by adding hooks and shelves in the bathroom and hooks in the bedroom. It’s a small space and there’s no place to put anything. We had our bath towels hanging over dining chairs to dry. Maintaining the bikes, beach chairs and kayaks would be a big plus for this place. We had a great week and would stay again.

What a lovely cottage for a couple. Very cozy and well equipped. Easy walk to beach and the famous Rod and Reel pier. The unit included, 4 bikes, beach chairs and towels, beach umbrella, beach wagon, etc. The Wi-Fi provided exceptional upload and download speeds necessary for occassional Zoom calls with the office.

This property was very clean and the amenities were wonderful. The golf cart alone made the vacation lovely. Literally a 5 minute walk from the beach and they provide a wagon to help you carry all your beach stuff. Renovations inside are slightly wonky but over looked for the convenience of the rest of the property. Everything worked just as needed. Mini freezer was also a heaven sent.

Cute little cottage
Cute little cottage in a great location. One thing we found inconvenient, is that in order to use two kayaks, we would have to make two separate trip in a golf cart to bring them to the location where we could use them.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Sept 2020
Thank you for the 5 star review Luba! 🤩 The kayaks also come with straps and rollers for easy transporting right across the street to launch at the Rod & Reel Pier and adjacent beach, which is only a couple yards from our door step, which makes it a 2-3 minute walk down to the launch point. Hope to see you again in the near future 😃

A Perfect Beach Side Getaway
We were only at the Bay Breeze Cottage for 2 nights, but wish it could have been more. The amenities were perfect, the cottage was spotless, and the location was beyond ideal. A short walk to the beach in two directions, plenty of great restaurant options, and much more. HIGHLY recommended. We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect getaway
Clean unit. I enjoyed the exclusivity compared to booking a hotel/lodge with countless guest. Total of 3 cottages on the property allows for privacy and social distancing. Many amenities and perks offered. we didn’t have a chance to kayak but still enjoyed ourselves. Walking distance to beach and gulf side. We enjoyed the golf carts. Bring your own food or be prepared to spend a lot of money on local takeout . Overall we had a great experience. We look forward to coming back next year
