Sand Dollar Cottage - Vintage - updated - flip flop walk to Gulf Beaches

We only rent thru VRBO! Your safety is our priority.

We are writing here as the owners of this lovely cottage. If you find pictures of this cottage on other websites or in social media (e.g. Facebook) all these offerings are scam and published by people how are not our representatives or the owner of this cottage. We recommend to do bookings through VRBO, mainly for your security, so that you can be sure that you have a valid rental agreement.
Your vacation and family time on Anna Maria Island is important to us.
The small beach cottage is located in a quiet, exclusive residential area at the tip of the island. 60 meter walk to the miles of white sandy beach of Anna Maria Island - one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. The house has WLAN (free WIFI)
New kitchen - new kitchen 2020
New bathroom - new bathroom 2018
In the season months we rent Saturday-Saturday.

The special feature - your advantage: The location of the house is so close to the beach and therefore very family-friendly. The distances are short, especially when someone ' just ' wants to get something cold to drink or someone just has to go to the toilet...

Feel the breeze and relax: The house is located in the most beautiful part of the island, on the northern tip, north of Pine Ave. You can cycle to the pier, marina or 'Sandbar', one of the island's most popular restaurants.

By car to Mickey Mouse & Co.: You can easily reach Florida's major attractions in the Orlando area in a day trip (approx. 1.5 hours' drive) by car. And in the evening you can look forward to the tranquility of the island again....

The neighboring house to the right can also be rented, making the houses ideal for weddings, family reunions or traveling with two families. Important: the pool belongs only to the Sand Dollar Cottage.

Private oasis!
This was the nicest place we have stayed! The room was adorable! The pool area was your own private oasis! The screened lanai was so nice to sit at. The front yard is so pretty. The walk to the beach was such a short walk. I usually stay beach front but with everything this place had it was well worth the short walk. Can't wait to go back!

Decent bungalow
The cottage was a great place for the family. Lots of little things would make me not choose this again compared to other places we have stayed. Good location however the listing photos are deceiving, the walk is longer then implied. Outdoor furniture inside the house was uncomfortable. Limited beach items and in poor condition. The pool was amazing, host was phenomenal accommodating extra 2 days due to canceled flights.

Ideal for relaxation
We really enjoyed our stay at Sand Dollar Cottage, it is an extremely relaxing place which is just what we needed. The location is superb, so close to the beach. When at the cottage, we spent much of our time in the screened lanai or the pool area which were ideal. We also enjoyed wandering down to the beach most evenings to watch the sunset which was spectacular.

Great location
Great location as you have a short walk across the street to the beach, this house has all the kitchen items you need, clean rooms and an updated bathroom. Our son loved the little pool , which kept him happy as he is not a fan of the beach in general😀. The first day we arrived, the internet connection was non-existent. I emailed Kerstin and she was very responsive. By the time we woke up the next day, we had a connection . The TV in the living room didn’t work the whole time we were there. The reason why I didn’t give. 5 stars is just little things that need to be fixed and the house will be perfect: replace TV in living room, upgrade small items ( bathroom toilet paper holder is rusty, furniture in patio is very old, maybe a paint job?, fan in kitchen doesn’t work). Like I said very small touches. Otherwise, great host, great location and we had a great stay.

Perfect Location, Great Stay
Overall a great experience, and seamless booking, and check in process. The only issue we encountered was intermittent internet and cable service, and delayed access to the property as the cleaning crew was still working at check in time. The pool was a great option and well worth it. Gulf beach access was very convenient, and Bay Beach access was also easy, although for most may require car/golf cart.

Perfect home for our family
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sand Dollar Cottage. The location is perfect, close to the beach and far enough away from the crowded main area and it has a pool! I was worried about the house not being cool enough because it doesn’t have central air but the temp was comfortable, having 3 wall A/C units. The queen bed could be better, it was definitely firm, a mattress topper would probably make it better. Also, the couch could be better, it’s more for a porch, but it was pretty comfortable for what it is. Don’t let those small things turn you away from staying here though, Overall, we had a great stay at the Sand Dollar Cottage and would most definitely go back again. Thank you for allowing us to stay here, we loved it!

Just what we needed!
Our stay was perfect. The property had everything we needed and was steps from the beach. The pool was a nice added bonus and was always clean. The pool company came by twice during our stay. We didn’t cook in but they had everything we would have needed if we had. I will definitely stay here again.

The house was great except for one factor. There is no central air, so the house was very hot, especially at night. Also the master bed was very hard (although that is just personal preference). Could use an umbrella for some shade in the pool area. House was very clean and in a great location.

A wonderful little cottage across from pristine beach. Easy access to island and all we needed to have a wonderful vacation. Master bed needs upgrade but the ocean breezes made up for sleep needs. Thank you fr a wonderful stay!

Anniversary trip
The top part of the island is nice and much quieter but still close enough to the shops and restaurants. Would be nice to get the door code sent via text or email at check in time instead of trying to find a place to park at the realtor office but it wasn't that bag since we were vacationing early summer before school was out for Summer break. Great location of the home. The queen mattress was too firm for us so we just stayed in the other room on twin beds.

Great little cottage
Loved the location and the home had nearly everything we desired. The screened lanai was fabulous, pool was lovely. The short walk to the beach was perfect. I’d love to have some better bed pillows and an umbrella at the pool (there was an umbrella stand, so we guess the umbrella broke and hasn’t been replaced yet). Thank you for a wonderful, peaceful week— we truly are grateful to you for sharing it with us!

Beautiful location perfect little beach cottage for a family of 4. Kitchen was stocked enough to prepare Thanksgiving dinner for us. It really was a great place. My only complaint was that the living room furniture looked and felt like outdoor furniture. Not really comfortable seating in a living room. But overall a great little place to enjoy AMI!! Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Nice stay
Beds were hard Urinal cake smell from the bathroom permeated the entire house - we put the urinal cake in a plastic bag and placed outside in the garbage can. Purchased stick up neutralizer deodorant in the bathroom, bedrooms and kitchen - smell was gone in 2 days. Don’t put urinal cakes in the bathroom. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Loved this vintage cottage! Very clean & well stocked. Close to the beach access, literally 3-5 minute walk to the white sand. The pool area is a secluded private oasis. Don’t hesitate to rent this beach home. On line pics are a true representation. Owner: please increase the water pressure in the shower.

First Time
This was our first trip to AMI and it was wonderful! We loved the Sand Dollar Cottage. The cottage is very nice and very clean. The location is just across from the pathway to the beach! The pool area is really nice with all the palm trees and plants makes it feel very tropical. We would stay here again. The owners happen to be there and they are very nice and really care about their properties! We will return to AMI and hope to have another great vacation!
