Overview ↑↓

Nestled in beautiful tropical landscaping, this 2 bed, 2 bath beach cottage vacation rental blends simple elegance with a prime location, just steps from the gorgeous Gulf sands of Anna Maria Island!

While the décor sets a soothing tone from the minute you step foot inside, there are surprising and colorful touches throughout the home. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind from the demands of the day-to-day, with two sitting areas, a shady outdoor seating space, and a screened lanai.

But the best part just might be around the corner, a one-minute walk away – the famous white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island! Positioned North of Pine Avenue, these beaches are the least crowded and, in our humble opinion, all the more beautiful for it.

Back at the house, you’ll have all the necessities for a comfortable stay, including WiFi, cable TV, beach towels, and cozy bed and bath linens. There are two bedrooms - one with a king bed, the other with two twin beds – plus a queen sleeper sofa, allowing up to six guests to decompress and reset by living the Island life.

You’ll want to return to this La Casita sooner than later, just try it and see!

La Casita is owned by a family of Island-lovers, excited for others to fall in love just as they have. The current photos were taken in 2022 to showcase the hard work they put in to polish and update this adorable beach cottage, inside and out. The kitchen was updated in August 2023 and now includes a dishwasher and full size smooth top electric range.

Special thanks go to the Anna Maria General Store, where you can purchase the LOLA wine used for staging in the photos, and Hometown Desserts, who provided those gorgeous cookies used in the kitchen photos. Both are located on Pine Avenue, not far from La Casita.

Amazing week on AMI! 2024-03-21

By: Morgan Trip Date: 2024-03-08

Our stay at this impeccably appointed house was nothing short of exceptional. Situated in an idyllic location, it effortlessly blended convenience and luxury. Just a short walk from the beach, we found ourselves easily immersed in the beauty of the coastline. Additionally, the proximity to shops and restaurants made exploring the local scene a breeze. The accessibility provided by the nearby trolley, allowing us to effortlessly navigate the entire island was a highlight. Overall, our experience was nothing short of perfect, and we can't wait to return for another unforgettable getaway.

Terrific location, well appointed cottage 2024-04-10

By: Barbara G Trip Date: 2024-01-12

We enjoyed our stay in "La Casita". The location is perfect - easy access to the beach and an easy walk to Pine Street. The kitchen and master bathroom are nicely updated and the bedrooms are comfortable. Unfortunately we had a very rainy cold week so we were not really able to sit on the beach - got a couple of beach walks in when there was a brief hour or two without rain; but the cottage was still very comfortable and pleasant even on rainy days, and the local restaurants were fine. We especially like the "laid back" vibe and friendliness of Anna Marie Island. As reviewed on VRBO

Cottage by the Beach ☀️🏖️👙🩳 2023-03-08

By: Pamela P Trip Date: 2023-02-17

The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed for our week stay. Very convenient to the beach and other island attractions. Also very nice to have a gas grill for nice evenings of cooking out. Chairs and beach supplies came in very handy and very appreciated to have on hand. All around we were very pleased with the cottage and great condition it was in and for our wonderful vacation. Thank you ~~As reviewed on VRBO

Great Beach Cottage 2023-01-25

By: Andrea G Trip Date: 2022-03-25

The location of this house is great! The size is perfect for a family of four. You are three houses from the beach! We were there during spring break and our area if they beach was not as crowded as others which we really liked. You are walking distance to Pine Ave. The house was clean and they left a little welcome package that got you started on dish soap, a sponge and garbage bags. This was very nice. The kitchen is small. If you plan to do a lot of your own cooking this may be an issue. We ate out so this was not an issue for us. There are chairs, a skim board, boogie board, beach towels and a beach cart in the back shed. A couple of tiny upgrades would make a world of difference. Overall we loved this property! You can’t beat the location! ~~As reviewed on VRBO

Definitely A Keeper 2022-02-24

By: Brenda B. Trip Date: 2021-02-13

This property is in the best location! It is steps from the beach, and a short walk to shopping and restaurants. The rental had enough laundry detergent to get you started, Dish soap, and small bars of soap and a dish sponge. It was nice that if previous renters left something that could be used, it was there. They had pam, seasonings, saran, tin foil, dryer sheets, toilet paper. Some of it you can’t count on, but sure a nice surprise. There was a hutch with napkins, pens, scissors, tape, writing utensils. They have plenty of linens, beach towels are really short and low quality (understandable), you may want to bring your own. To get into the unit and to check out, you have to pick up keys. In all the VBRO’s I have rented, there were keypads on lock, so this was a bit inconvenient, but not horrible. The checkout process was easy besides having to turn in keys. The place was very clean, smelled musty upon arrival, but there was a lot of rain before we arrived, it went away once the air was on for a while. We had to rewash dishes, there is no dishwasher, so there were items that were not clean, it was fine, but that is why 4 stars for cleanliness. The master bed had a plastic mattress pad, it was super hot and noisy. The pillows are also uncomfortable, but again mot a deal breaker. On the last day, I found a shed outside that housed all kinds of beach stuff, I never went on that side of house so I had no idea, but that is a plus. There is also an outdoor shower which was fantastic to knock the sand off. A few wish list items, a book to orientate to the rental, list of restaurants and things to do. A keyless entry would be great. Also, more lighting on the porch. We ate dinner out there a lot and had a hard time seeing our plate. This is a very quiet location of the island, beach is not crowded, so close though. My teens were able to walk the neighborhood by themselves and get coffee or baked goods. Many places to rent golf carts, bikes, or surrey’s. Would definitely come again. VRBO review submitted by Brenda B. for stay in Feb 2021.
