"Loved this sweet l little cottage. Perfect for our l purposes. Had to use outlet behind mattress for my CPAP, but it was fine! The twin beds were suoer comfy!! We are 66, so the master want them enough, but I'm sure fine for most!! Had a little living room with tv, clean kitchen with all sorts of utensils. Cooked. A little shower to rinse off outside the entrance near the kitchen and laundry room! Did laundry a couple of times. Great little cottage!!! The little sandy beach path (25 yards maybe from cottage driveway) to the ocean is sweet!! We had one day of overcast but a beautiful sunset and sunrise! Just lovely! Thank you

"All the basics and excellent location. We cooked spaghetti and grilled steaks. Plenty of kitchen utensils. Good coffee maker. Some beach items were left by other people that we got to use which was nice. We bought extra beach chairs. There was an umbrella and boogie Boards which was great. The location is amazing! We got lucky with the weather. Our neighbor in the other half of the duplex was very nice. Would definitely come back!

"Great location to the beach and downtown Anna Maria. We'd come back again; it was a perfect little cottage for our family of 4. We also appreciated the use of the beach wagon; it made going back and forth to the beach that much easier. One thing we weren't expecting was the porch was shared with the other unit. There was no issue, but the description did not mention this.

"Not fancy and the living area and second bedroom are very small. However, it was very clean and functional. The kitchen was well stocked with the dishes and most cookware that you would ever need. I appreciated an outdoor hose and shower with hot water that could be used to wash off and not track sand inside. A small washer and dryer in the unit are a huge plus for those who enjoy traveling light. Additionally, a beach wagon was there which also made the trip more convenient. I will say I was disappointed to learn there was only one television. It was a comfortable stay and I would certainly consider it again.

"Everything you need for a quiet beach vacation. Steps away from the sand and a low-populated area of the beach. Really close to local food and a convenience store. The Duplex has a good layout with bedrooms on the outside and a living room in the middle (closest to the neighbors). Good A/C with a full-size fridge and washer/dryer. We’re planning to stay here next year.

"Very responsive host; excellent location with short walk through sea grasses to beach that worked for my 85-yr old mom who can't walk far; super quiet spot on beach; close to many shops & restaurants all walkable for the mobile. Spotless apartment with very well-appointed kitchen (lots of kitchenware including pie dishes & rolling pin), comfortable beds. The bathroom was small, but very clean and the shower worked really well (the head is a little low for very tall people). Beach gear was provided--including chairs and a wagon to carry them. Perfect for a few days w/3 adults, one with somewhat limited mobility. Highly recommend it--we may be back!

"A couple of reviews complained, and I worried a bit about their accuracy prior to arriving. We arrived early and were granted an early check-in, and the place was perfect! As described and a short 100 foot walk to the sand. So quiet down this street! The place is well kept (although aged) and so nice to have a washer and dryer. The shower water pressure is low but worked fine. Anyone who complains about this place is just showing snobbery and needs to head to the Ritz where they can be pampered. This place is for those wanting a nice place right next to the beach. (Literally one house off the sandy pathway out to the water). There is a common entryway shared by the other half of this pseudo duplex, but while we stayed there was no one in the other unit. I give this place an A+.
