About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

"La Casita" Beautiful, Elegant Florida Cottage, 1 Minute Walk to the Beach!

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 and en-suite bathroom with shower, 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.

Please note that pets are not allowed in this rental.

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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

We enjoyed our stay at La Casita so much! Very clean and so cute inside! The host was quick to respond to my questions. You could not ask for a better location - far enough up the island that you’re away from the busyness, yet still a nice walking distance to Pine Ave and a 1 min walk to the beach would definitely stay again in the future!

La Casita was a fabulous place to stay. Very close to the beach and to all the shops and coffee shops on Pine street. We loved the Old Florida vibe of the house. It was so comfortable and clean. Everything we needed was provided beach chairs, umbrella, all kitchen supplies , laundry facilities, an abundance of fluffy towels. We either biked or walked everywhere.

Perfect Beach Cottage

This property exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and organized. The beds were comfortable. The location is steps to the beach. Nice beach chairs were available and we enjoyed the outdoor living area. We hope to stay at this location in the future. Don’t hesitate to book a stay at this adorable cottage!
