Shell Cottage- Florida style pool home close to beach.

If you enjoy salt air and sea breezes, morning coffee on your patio, walking miles and miles of white sandy beach and swimming in warm, crystal clear salt water then you are going to love visiting The Shell Cottage. This stunning and colorfully decorated beach home is just a few blocks from shopping, the free trolley, restaurants and either the Gulf or Bay beaches. This residence is truly special and offers the absolute best of both the "quiet" and "fun" worlds that Anna Maria has to offer. The romantic and private master bedroom has a comfy king size bed, a flat screen TV and private bathroom. A second bright and colorful bedroom is furnished with two twin beds and the cheerful guest room has a queen. A second bathroom helps to accommodate a houseful of guests and children. A heated pool, large round table with six chairs shaded by a big blue umbrella plus a barbeque all make entertaining al fresco a cinch. With a large patio, you will enjoy the glowing sunrise and sunsets each day, tropical breezes and egret visits. A kitchen stocked with cookbooks, wireless internet, walls decorated with original local art, a collection of seashells that will amaze, a flat screen television boasting Blu Ray, high definition. just are the beginning of the fun!

This property looks like a Paradise.
My stay in this house was amazing. This house is very beautiful, clean and feels like in home. Also, amazing and private backyard. During our stay in this house was a rainy day that made pool very green and dirty, so I contacted the owner and got immediate response within an hour pool was cleaned by professionals. Thank you very much.

Very nice
The pool could use a hand rail for older folks. The housekeeping accessories could use updates. We liked the house and would use it again.

A quiet oasis
The pool is private, surrounded by lush vegetation. You feel like you are at a resort somewhere with a 5-minute walk to the beach. We loved our stay!

Perfect house
We had a great time in late March for a week. We were a group of 2 adults and 3 large teenagers and there was plenty of room for all of us. Very comfortable and well-stocked house and great to have the pool as well. Only a 5 minute walk or 2 minute drive to a beautiful beach.

Gorgeous house
This was indeed a beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach. However definitely bring your own supplies as there is very minimal basic supplies in the house. Maybe that’s the difference between renting from a rental agency versus a private owner but I was our first experience with finding very little in house. Also you may want to bring extra pillows as they were plenty of pillows but no pillowcases.

A perfect beach retreat
My husband & I decided to get away for a few days on our 15th anniversary in May (2021). This was our first time out since the Covid-19 pandemic, so we decided to stay somewhere not too far from home. Shell Cottage was just as advertised — it was VERY clean, well set up, in a quiet neighborhood, well supplied, close to Publix (within a short driving distance), and of course the beach! We loved its privacy, having the pool all to just ourselves, the peacefulness of the place, the comfortable mattresses in the cottage, and even the plethora of books one could choose to read while there! We had good internet connection too the entire time we were there. No complaints at all. Just an FYI: If you are a beach goer, you will need to walk a bit to get to a beach, but one can take one of the free island trolleys to whichever area you choose or drive a short distance. Sato Realty was very easy to deal with — they communicated well (my first time using VRBO) and everything was as they said it would be! VERY pleased with our stay, and no doubt will return again if we can!

We loved our shell cottage for 7 days. Everything was provided for a relaxing stay. Loved being surrounded by pictures of the sea and shells. The pool area was so pretty and private. Would love to come back.

Very nicely decorated, well equipped and comfortable home, would definitely stay again. Also our first time on AMI, but not our last, it's a unique, very beachy place with wonderful restaurants, bars, and sunsets.
