About this house rental
Escape the Traffic:
Private Waterfront Oasis on AMI’s Historic North End.
Welcome to Sunshine Cottage, a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom premium coastal retreat designed for families, boaters, and beach lovers. Situated on a pristine deep-water canal on the exclusive, historic North End of Anna Maria Island, this property allows you to completely bypass the heavy tourist traffic of Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach while keeping everything you love within a short stroll.
Walk just half a block (3 minutes) to splash in the calm waters of Bay Beach, or take a 15-minute sunset stroll to the iconic shores of Bean Point. When you are ready for shopping, ice cream, or dinner, the boutique storefronts of Pine Avenue, the historic City Pier, and the famous Rod and Reel Pier are all just steps from your front door.

Three night staycation with friends from out of town. Quiet, secluded property on canal with great pool. Close to restaurants and shopping. Would highly recommend this rental.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable and we loved the pool. My grandchildren loved how the pool lit up at night with different colors. My daughter and I agreed that we would stay here again in the future.

This house has everything and so many nice touches beyond that. The backyard is the perfect setting for a tropical vacation. The landscaping is beautiful, the pool was fun and has a fountain and lights and we loved sitting out on the dock by the canal! They have a green light in the water, near the dock, that attracts fish and we enjoyed watching them at night. We appreciated having beach equipment provided at the house and took advantage of the bikes and kayak we could rent from the owners. While out in the kayak we believe we were lightly "bumped" underneath by a manatee! Unfortunately we didn't get a full sighting. This house is exactly as it appears in the listing. Communication with Michelle was great. We arrived before check in time due to an early flight and we were able to drop off our luggage before the house was ready. We had a golf cart for getting around, which worked well and we enjoyed being on the quieter, north, side of the island. We hope to come back!

The house is very nicely equipped for all of your needs. The pool is lovely and sitting on the dock next to the water makes for a peaceful morning and evening. We even saw dolphin in the water. The location is nice, it is not a far walk to an ice cream shop and stores. The Pier is fun to visit, too! We will stay here again someday.
