Perfect Anna Maria. Dock on Canal.
3 blocks to sugar sand beach. Heated pool.
3 short blocks to the sugar sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and 5 blocks to Tampa Bay. This traditional Florida home is on a canal, with bikes and kayaks for your recreational use. 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, living room, kitchen and traditional Florida room overlooking a large patio and pool and our dock on the canal. We also have a screened porch for relaxing on warm sunny afternoons, or you could grab your morning cup of coffee and sit out on the dock and watch the fish jump. The perfect place to relax; lots of wildlife, beautiful beaches and a quiet neighborhood with friendly, helpful neighbors. There are a local corner store, Post Office, bar, restaurants & shops within walking distance. You can take the free trolley around the island, to the supermarket, library and more shops and restaurants. Para-sailing, motor scooter rentals, kayaking, biking, and above all swimming in the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, make this an ideal location. Attractions off the island include the Asolo Florida State Theater, Mote Marine Laboratory, Selby Botanical Gardens and upscale shopping at Saint Armand's Key. There are also several natural preserves nearby for walking and observing nature. Please note: ours is a "green" house where we use unscented products including soap and laundry detergent. We try to provide this for all guests, however, should we run out, please buy only unscented products usually called "free and clear" or unscented for use in the house. Thank you.

This is our 4th year staying at this home and we love everything about it! We were a little nervous about staying after the 2 hurricanes that caused so much damage on the island but the house as well as the island was better than we expected.
This home was perfect for our family getaway to Anna Maria. It is clean, close to the beach and the pool with the view of the canal was wonderful. Margeret and Jim were quick to respond to any communication prior to our arrival as well as during our stay. Would definitely stay again! Delightful :)
We had a lovely stay at Simplicity Cottage. We enjoyed relaxing in the pool overlooking the canal. The cottage was supplied with many extras from beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. to make our stay easy. All the renovations that were done were beautiful. We were so pleased with our stay and can’t wait to return!
The house was perfect for the 4 of us and the listing is very accurate. We enjoyed the pool and the dock! The beach is a short walk away and not crowded at all. The neighborhood is lovely. We had a great time and would highly recommend this rental.
Cleanliness and amenities were top notch. Great location! Pool was fabulous. We love the north end of the island, and it was just a short bike ride away from our fav beach spot. Definitely a great house and would recommend to families wanting a relaxing vacay on AMI!
This is our second stay at Simplicity Cottage and it has been a perfect getaway both times! We love the cleanliness of the home and the beautiful canal that backs up to the house. We are so thankful for this sweet home and all the memories that have taken place here.
We have stayed in this home several times. It never disappoints. Love the carport for the golf cart. Easy walk to the beach. Enjoyed riding the bikes several mornings. Nice quiet street
A very conveniently located rental in the heart of AMI.
The property was clean both inside and outside with a good sized pool and dock. We spent many an hour fishing and canoeing from the dock.
Second stay in probably quietest street on the island. Older property but immaculately clean. Great pool, dock onto widest part of canal. Bikes and kayaks provided. Very helpful owners. Couldn’t ask for more.
My husband and I with our two children stayed for a week. The cottage was tidy and had everything we needed. The pool and outdoor area were our favorite! It was such a short walk to the beach! We appreciated the kayaks and enjoyed coffee on the canal dock every morning. Prior to our visit I messaged the hosts frequently and they were always happy to answer my questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
We just take one vacation a year and we had such a good experience with this place at AMI that we came back for a second year! The best thing about this place for us is that it’s fragrance free. No scented plug ins and they washed the towels and bedding in fragrance free soap. It’s in walking distance from the best beach! We watched the sunset every night. The pool is amazing! We enjoyed kayaking in the canal. Things seem pretty fixed up after the hurricane here. Thank you again! We love this place!
Enjoyed our stay (despite hurricane threat!) and the house provided everything we needed.
House is clean, beds are comfortable, aircon cold, and just a short walk to best beach on island - who needs more !
Outside, the garden has shade, the good sized pool is clean and we saw Manatee and all sort of other wildlife from the dock.
Our stay was interrupted by hurricane Idalia, but the owners kindly provided use of a condo a few miles inland until It passed. Fortunately the house, and AMI generally, wasn’t affected so we could resume our holiday.
We have stayed on AMI many times and this house is in the perfect location - a quiet area, away from the crowds, and beach visits without parking issues.
This house was GREAT! We used the kitchen to cook meals, grilled fish by the pool, biked around the island, kayaked in the canals, made smoothies with fruit from the farmers market! We were very thankful to find this house as we are chemically sensitive and don’t like plug ins and air fresheners and this place did not have those. The owners were great when we asked about a fishing pole, they went above and beyond. If I were to do it again, I think we wouldn’t have gotten a rental car and gotten a ride from the airport instead to save money because we left the car parked the whole trip I made memories with my parents and husband that I’ll treasure forever. I really hope we can come back!
Really nice stay in this cute house on Anna Maria Island. This was our 4th visit to AMI as we love it so much. We’re from the UK but love Florida and come over when we can. The house was well-equipped and the very few issues we had were sorted very quickly by the host. The position of the house on the water is lovely and very peaceful. We would recommend this house as a holiday rental. It was very comfortable and clean with plenty of room.
We enjoyed being right on the canal (dolphins came through our first day!) and having our own pool while still being a close walk to the beach. The house was clean and the perfect size for our small family, the neighborhood was quiet, and the property owners were so nice and quick to answer any questions.
Incredible. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed for our vacation. We had a slight issue and the property manager was at our door within moments. Already booking our next trip.
