About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Shell Cottage - sleeps 2

Shell Cottage is situated towards the top end of Anna Maria Island. It is one of a cluster of the 3 cottages sharing the free form pool with waterfall (at most there would be 8 people using the pool).

The cottage is extemely well furnished and equipped with everything we hope you would need to enjoy the perfect holiday. The bedroom has a Queen bed and the bathroom is fitted with a bath with overhead shower, basin and WC.

The french doors in the sitting room open out to the pool which is situated in a tropically landscaped garden. You will also find tables, chairs and loungers around the pool.

There is an internal door which connects to Seahorse Cottage therefore making it possible to rent the 2 properties together to accommodate up to 4 people (this door is lockable from both sides to ensure privacy).

The property benefits from off street parking for 1 car.

During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Bradenton Beach. A water park is available. The cottage offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Loved our stay

Cozy and darling one bedroom cottage w full kitchen that was well-stocked. Pool right outside the French doors of Shell cottage that was easily shared with the other 2 cottages. checkin somewhat difficult due to arriving midnight and darkness. We did manage to figure out code box without calling the manager. We are 65+tho so that may be why! Pool was well maintained… beach very short walk as in 100 feet or so. It was very hot on the island so we were in the pool or the gulf or enjoying our air conditioned cottage all of the time.

Anniversary

The cottage was just what was listed. We had everything we needed for a great anniversary celebration. And it was a bonus that the other 3 cottages were vacant so we had the pool to ourselves!

Shell cottage review

Shell cottage is a small cozy cabin. My daughter and family stayed at an adjoining cabin, so it was perfect. Very close to the beach, easy to walk back and forth. Pool was very nice and we divided up our time between the beach and pool. I would stay there again.

Great location for Adults

This property is located less than a block to the beach. The pool has a water feature that covers the street noise. The home is very small and well appointed. It had everything we needed. We met the adult guests in the adjacent unit that were a pleasure to meet. Due to the small property, I would recommend this property for adults only.

Anniversary Getaway

We stayed at this beautiful little cottage for our anniversary. It was perfect. The pool area is very relaxing and beautifully done. The house is perfect for 2 people and the kitchen is well stocked. The house is very close to the beach. We had never been to Anna Maria Island and we discovered it is a beautiful place to go to. Would definitely come back to this lovely cottage! Sharon was wonderful to deal with and gave us instructions for check in even when it was later in the evening!

Wonderful week.

My husband and I had a marvelous week at Shell Cottage. We had a change of plans and Leane was absolutely wonderful in working with us to make it work out. The unit is very small but very clean and comfortable. Perfect for two. We will definitely be back!

Cute cottage near the beach and east walk to Pine St

My wife and I needed a one bedroom place north of Pine St to be close to our daughter’s place. This was perfect, cozy, neat and clean. Shared pool was great. Nice pool furniture, landscape and pool deck. Small kitchen and bathroom worked for the two of us.

Post-Hurricane Ian oasis

Thoroughly cute property, lovely pool area, quiet neighborhood and only 4-5 houses from the beach. Sharon and Liane were super easy to work with and kept me well informed about the property post-Hurricane Ian. It was a nice little escape for a week. The couch needs to be replaced and the storage is a bit unusual, but I didn't care. Location, location, location!

Perfect location!

The cottage was the perfect size and setup for us. Location was great- steps away from the beach. The pool was refreshing. Highly recommend The Donut Experiment which was only a few blocks away . And last but not least- we got to see a few loggerhead hatchlings and help one to the ocean with the Sea Turtle Patrol!!

Wonderful stay at the Shell Cottage

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Shell Cottage! It was perfect size for us and we loved the close proximity to restaurants and the beach. Even though we had a car, we chose to walk everywhere. The pool and patio area were very nice too! We had everything we needed and would definitely stay here again.

Beach cottage with great proximity to the beach!

The recommendations I could make are as follows. Number 1, replace the extremely worn out and uncomfortable sofa. 2. Add a few area rugs. 3. Add a coffee table, which is desperately needed in front of sofa.. 4. Put a rug in the bathroom. 5. Put a broom in every unit to keep sand at bay. 6. Fix armoire door so it stays open (only full length mirror in unit and it wasn’t clean).

So relaxing

I loved this property the first two times I had stayed. This time was no disappointment. I still love it 🥰. The smaller space was perfect for two friends and the neighbors we shared the pool with were very nice. Our stay was as relaxing as I had hoped it would be. Thank you!

Beach Cottage

Place was very clean and quite suitable for the two of us. Kitchen was well equipped with most anything one would need. Short walk to the beach and easy access. Sharon was quick to respond to any questions. Would stay again.
