Beautiful Beach Bungalow!
Perfect place to go for a few days w family to celebrate a wedding! Cute little cottage with all the comforts from home! Rode bikes around town and to some private beaches every day and then came back to the house for a swim in the pool. Very relaxing and would do it again next year!

Great stay at Sunshine Cottage
This was our first visit to Anna Maria Island and we loved it. Beautiful beaches and water, bike friendly and laid back....perfect for a relaxing holiday.
Sunshine Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. We enjoyed being on the canal, yet very close to the bayside beach and an easy cycle or drive to the ocean beach.
The house was beautifully furnished and well equipped. We especially appreciated all of the gear for the beach - chairs, umbrellas etc. We enjoyed the bikes and ease of getting to nearby shops and restaurants.
The pool was warm, clean and a good size for all 6 of us to enjoy. The backyard landscaping is very pretty, we loved the coconut palms.
We hired a stand up paddle board from Beach Bum rentals on Pine Ave and saw dolphins and manatee in the bay.
Be aware that the bathrooms and bedrooms in the Cottage are a little on the small side (as pictured). Not a problem for us.
The owners were very responsive and pleasant to deal with.
We would like to return one day.

Wonderful Week!
We truly enjoyed our week at sunshine cottage! The house was even nicer than the pictures. Kitchen had everything we could need. The bikes were a great addition and fun way to get around the island. The pool was perfect and we loved sitting on the dock and having a water view!
Stayed March, 2017
Fantastic
The Sunsgine Cottage was fantastic. The house is adorable, very clean, comfortable and has a great location. Everything you need is provided: beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs, a wagon, etc. the only downside to this trip was that our stay was too short! The pool is beautiful and the kids loved it. It was only a very short walk to the bay side, and since we had small kids we drove to the gulf side. Both sides were gorgeous with lots of shells.
We didn't see any wildlife off the dock except for a couple of fish and minnows. However, with a beautiful view and the pool we weren't disappointed. I highly recommend this home and hope to be back!

The house is beautiful. We couldn't find a bad thing about it. What a beautiful house and pool.
The house was lovely. It had everything we needed. The pool is lovely and the landscaping beautiful. We had a great time! The owners were available for questions as well as the Realty Company.

A Dream Come True Vacation Home!
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.

Outstanding!
We absolutely loved everything about our stay at your home. We took our grandchildren--age 10, 11, 12 an 18 and we all had a great time. It was nice to have so much beach equipment and we so enjoyed the pool and the pier and all the chairs and lounges in the back yard. We so appreciated that we could bring our dog, Rowdy. He also enjoyed being there with us. The last day when we were leaving we had to trick him out from under the bed and when we told him we were going home he jumped up on the couch as if to say "nope I am staying here." I think we all felt the same way! We would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in your beautiful home.
