We stumbled upon this cottage while planning a girls trip of four to Anna Maria Island and were immediately sold on the decor and layout of the cottage on Pine (who doesn’t love a pink kitchen?!). Bonus points for the private pool in the back, complete with outdoor shower, putting green and a few little lizard friends roaming around! The space was ideal for our long weekend, conveniently located to shops, restaurants and at a mid-point of the island with easy access to either side of beaches. We opted to rent a cart from Once Upon a Beach and it was already parked in our driveway upon arrival. The amenities of the home were good for what we needed. All the necessities for a beach day were provided (chairs, noodles/floats, umbrella) which was much appreciated! However, the four of us quickly ran through the 4 bath towels provided and there weren’t additional pillows/sheets/blankets should one of us choose to sleep on the couch/had there been a child along for the trip (listing says sleeps 4 adults and up to 2 children, we did not have any with us). Lastly, while we probably chose the hottest week to visit Florida, and we expected some heat, the AC struggled to get down below 75 every night which was uncomfortable. There was a box fan provided with the house so we did utilize that to assist with the air flow.
Overall, this cottage was the ideal spot for us on the trip and would highly recommend it to future travelers.
