Short visit
It is very small so I would only suggest short visits. We could hear talking from adjacent neighbors and street noise. The stairs leading up to front door are not safe for someone with any walking/standing issues. They are slanted and require balance to open door.

Anna Maria island
Cute little place. Small, one bedroom with; hot plate, toaster, small fridge; microwave, couch that could fold down for extra bed. What I loved best was the 50 steps to the beach! And 20 steps to the trolley that takes you to other island beaches/stores, restaurants, etc. Will definitely stay again!

Perfect location and perfect cottage!
Take all the positive reviews and imagine they are pasted here! My wife and I are in mid 70's and needed and very much appreciated the easy access to literally everything, especially access to beach. Maria and her family served us very well. A simple text quickly satisfied our couple of needs. We stayed in Unit 1 and the AC worked flawlessly. Please note that there are two 4th Streets. Just know when you turn onto 4th the cottage is immediately on the left. Our Garmin sent us to the wrong one but Waze saved us. Will definitely be returning! Quinton & Wendy Bluffton SC

This little gem is reasonably priced for such close proximity to the beach! It’s small but served all of our needs. It’s in walking distance to fun shops and restaurants too.

Lost power during storm!
This property was perfect for my boyfriend and I. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go and there was plenty to do right around this area. One of the days there was a bad storm on the island, and the entire island lost power. The location manager was extremely responsive about letting us know what was going on. We eventually got power back and the trip went as planned. We will definitely go back again if staying in the area !

Perfect location, great personal service
We loved our stay here! We didn't realize what an ideal location it was until we got there - literally RIGHT across the street from a beautiful beach, which made it so easy to go back and forth as needed. Also two blocks from Bridge Street and a bunch of cute shops and great restaurants, ice cream, live music, etc.! A short walk down the beach in either direction to places to eat right on the beach, toes in the sand! Also loved how personal the service was! The cottage (unit #1) is small, but so cute how they have it decorated with bright colors, and they've obviously thought through everything well - like how you can watch the living room TV from the bedroom too. Our hosts were so attentive, checking in with us several times to see if we needed anything. They provide beach chairs, towels, cooler, and a beach umbrella to every unit, which is awesome, and there's a small sitting area outside on the porch, perfect for morning sun and coffee. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!!
