    Come stay at Sundance Cottage in Anna Maria and see for yourself what the slow island life is all about. Make your reservation today!



    You'll be about a half-block from the beach, and when you're not there soaking up the sunshine, it's always within sight from your deck. Stroll the seven miles of flour-soft sand or head to Pine Avenue and take in the local art culture. Bean Point Beach is a great place to snap some photos, and Rod and Reel Pier and Restaurant is a short walk from your front door. There's room for three cars to park in the driveway, but you haven't truly experienced Anna Maria Island until you've used the free trolley to get around!

Great house and location

This was our second year spending our girls' weekend beach trip at this house and we loved it! Right across from the beach, a great pool with sun and shade, and plenty of room inside for 6 of us to hang out and talk while we cooked, ate, and relaxed for 3 days.

Wonderful home for family

We loved our stay. Everything was perfect. We have 3 kids ages 3-7 and the layout and location was excellent. I also appreciate how clean it was when we arrived. Kitchen is very well stocked and we did most meals at the home. The walk to beach is just across the street. Highly recommend!

Great Location - Small Upgrades Needed

The location of this property is great; right across the street from beach access. Outdoor shower to rinse off. Great covered parking. This house just needs some minor updates; fridge wasn't working, a/c couldn't keep up, toilets extremely hard to flush, pool was closed unexpectedly, no extras as indicated in email (garbage bags, toilet paper, laundry detergent). It wouldn't take much to really bring this property from good to GREAT!

Overall Great Stay with Hidden Problems

Pros: This house had everything we needed as far as space and was beautifully decorated. It looked like the decor had been refreshed recently. Proximity to the beach was great, just a short walk across the street. The open concept floor plan with all bedrooms on the same floor was very convenient. Cons: 1. Stairs railing was not secure. Dangerous for anyone needing support going up and down the stairs. When I mentioned this to the property manager she didn’t act like this was a serious concern or that it would be fixed before the next family checked in. 2. Bugs! On the surface things were clean, but on the second day we found dozens of small bugs in the dining room curtains and on the floor next to the dining room table. Looking closer we realized these were termites. We found them on the window sills and by the kitchen sink. On the morning we checked out there were bugs and wings in the bathroom sink when I went to brush my teeth. The property manager argued with me about the bugs. She said their exterminator said they were flying gnats. Every person in our party agreed 100% that they were termites. Regardless, it was gross and very evident that the house was not thoroughly cleaned. 3. The house, front door and deck with sitting areas all face a busy street. Cars playing loud music, work trucks, etc drove by all day long. Very noisy. We received a refund of $350 for inconvenience of the bugs, but I didn’t feel like there was any urgency to fix the stairs.

Perfect location

As close as you can get to beach access without the cost of beach front. Nice quiet area near the north point. Convenient to Pine Ave where there is good food, ice cream, and shopping. Nice place!

When we arrived the house was very much as described in the listing. We were very excited to hit the pool after a 12hr drive but the pool was full of leafs and other floating vegetation. I reached out to the host and they had someone out the next morning to clean the pool. The pool is surrounded by vegetation so i don’t feel that it’s from neglect on the host side considering how much vegetation is surrounding the pool things are going to naturally fall off and end up in the pool. The best part about this property is how close you are to a public beach access. Walk out the driveway and across the road and you’re headed to the water.

We try and travel to AMI once a year with our family of 5. We have never stayed this close to bean point before and it was great to be at the quieter side of the island and so close to the beach. We had a slight issue with the dryer but it was fixed that day. The garage was stocked with pool and beach supplies (which wasnt in the description so it was a nice surprise although it would have been nice to know that stuff was already there to avoid overpacking). The garage was very messy when we arrived - so I spent a little time organizing it and throwing away old / broken toys. Overall I would suggest staying here for the convenience to the beach. We loved the AMI themed monopoly game. Very nice touch.

The location was wonderful, great walking distance into town yet perfect for beaches and sunsets. The home was spacious and met our expectations. However, the washer would not work, there was mold in the grout of the shower area and the pool wasn’t kept to the promised temp and made it fairly unusable. We would book here again, but hope improvements were made.

This is such a cute beach cottage! We loved the location as well, a short walk to the beach across the street. I wish they put hand soap in the bathrooms, but other than that it was well stocked for a 3 night stay. I definitely recommend this property.

The location is lovely. A walk across the street and you get to the beach. Unfortunately when we got there the pool was green, quite a disappointment for my toddler. We informed the large rental company and they sent someone quickly but it took 4 days for the pool to be usable. Furthermore- updates were sparse and I had to keep asking. Just what a mom wants- adding mental load on a vacation. In addition- for a place we payed a significant amount per night- the deck railing was cracked and broken. Overall we got a small amount of money back for the pool but we would not stay here or with that rental company again.
