It sits next to Capt Anthony's fish market which would have been interesting to watch; however, the owners were on vacation so we missed the action. Joanne and Anthony were wonderful hosts of the VRBO, and were the definition of exceptional hospitality. We will miss them and hope to return in the the future. ##### Janice H.

JoAnn was a terrific hostess, always making sure we had everything we needed. The location of this cottage can't be beat. Easy walking distance to Ginny and Jane E's to beat the morning rush for cinnamon rolls and a short stroll to Pine Avenue shops.

It had everything we needed inside and out - including plenty of beach supplies. The owner was very friendly, helpful, and communicative. She even made us a fantastic snapper lunch one of the days :) We look forward to returning in the future. ##### Lois L. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly 26 May 2022 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Having always wanted to stay on Anna Maria Island, I was fortunate to have found this little cottage. With it's own vintage vibe and proximity to the breath taking beautiful beach you'll be loving this little gem yourself. Location was the #1 reason I booked here however the owners are one of the top reasons we'll come back! Friendly and laid-back they helped w recommendations and a wealth of knowledge about the island, fishing and great food!! We enjoyed the cottage's vintage character, others may want a more modern choice. Photos are representative. ##### Kimberly Stayed 6 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim E. 21 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### AWESOME!!! Could not have been better. The cottage was wonderful, cozy and comfortable. The location was perfect. We are not strangers to Anna Maria Island and this time at a 'new place' was a wonderful. The owners are on property and I fell in love with them and their dogs. Taking the time to get to know Captain Anthony and Joann was absolutely a highlight of our total vacation. We are already planning our next visit!!! ##### Kim E.
