Anna's Cottage — Historic Beach Cottage Steps from the Gulf of Mexico

Some rentals are close to the beach. Anna's Cottage is across the street from it.
This beautifully restored historic cottage at 105 3rd Street South in Bradenton Beach puts you at the heart
of everything Anna Maria Island has to offer — without sacrificing the privacy and charm that made you fall
in love with Old Florida in the first place.

Welcome to Anna's Cottage — one of Bradenton Beach's most beloved historic getaways. Tucked behind
a charming white fence and shaded by swaying palms, this bright teal cottage blends the soul of Old
Florida with completely renovated, modern comforts.

Step inside to find an open, light-filled living area dressed in classic white shiplap walls and ceiling. The
kitchen has been transformed with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar with
seating for four — ideal for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The fully stocked kitchen means you can
cook in as easily as you dine out.

All three bedrooms feature queen beds dressed in fresh white linens, ceiling fans, and wall-mounted flat
screen TVs. The primary bedroom enjoys its own en suite bath with a rain shower and marble-look vanity.
A second full bathroom with rain shower serves the other two bedrooms.

But what truly makes Anna's Cottage stand out is what happens out back. Step through the screened
porch — fully furnished with a dining table for six and cozy lounge seating — and into a private fenced yard
that feels like a personal resort. Adirondack chairs ring a stone fire pit beneath palm trees and tropical
plantings. A gas BBQ grill and outdoor shower complete the picture. After a long day at the beach, you
won't want to leave.

And the beach is never far. Walk across the street and you're there. Bridge Street's restaurants, coffee
shops, ice cream, mini-golf, and boutiques are just a block away. The historic Bradenton Beach Pier is two
blocks down. With the trolley stopping right nearby, you can explore the entire island without ever moving
your car.

Anna's Cottage is proud to be dog-friendly, so bring your four-legged family member along. The fully
fenced yard gives pets — and their owners — room to breathe.
This is the real Anna Maria Island experience — authentic, walkable, and wonderfully yours.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

This was a wonderful week long stay, perfect property for three couples. Location was perfect for us, maybe 50 yards from the restaurants, bars, and shopping that Bridge St offers, and about the same distance from the beach. Speaking of the beach, there is a small shed in the back containing beach chairs, a cooler, and even a wagon for bringing your stuff to the beach. The kitchen was modern with everything you'd need if you wanted to cook your own meals. Access to a washer/dryer was a plus. We had smokers in our group, so the screened in porch got a lot of use. We didn't use the cute gas fire pit area in the back, but we did use the deck area adjacent to the screened in porch. All in all, we heartily recommend this property.

Anna's Cottage was wonderful! The hosts were very helpful with any questions I had, sent a welcome letter with information and made the check in process easy! The cottage was in a wonderful location, just across the street from the beach and a block from Bridge Street. It is a very clean well-kept cottage, nice backyard, screened in patio with all the amenities (including beach chairs, beach umbrella and beach toys) we needed. Loved it!

House was in a great location. While the house was a bit smaller than expected it was more than fine for 3 adults. The bedrooms were very good and each had a tv set. We really enjoyed the screened in back porch.

Short stay

Pleased with the cottage, though we did not spend much time there. Small issue with one of the bathrooms that we reported, and requested that the repairs were completed after our stay. Property management was very responsive.

Family Beach Week

This house was perfect for our family! It accommodated us well, was literally steps from the beach, the updated backyard was a highlight our of kids and we enjoyed having the restaurants and shops a beach road over. It was such a convenient location for watching the sunrise from the pier to the sunset over the Gulf!

Location, Location, Location!

The location of this property was perfect for us. 1 block off of Bridge Street and one block from the beach. Many of us gathered at the beach in front of the Moose- it was an easy walk. There were a couple of things that needed to be addressed when we got there and the maintenance person came on a Sunday and was super friendly and helpful. The only reason I gave it 4 stars for accuracy of listing was that I didn't realize that there WAS a washer/dryer on the property, as well as numerous other items such as beach chairs, beach toys, fins, Cornhole boards, etc. We will definitely stay at this property again.
