Castaway Cottage is a perfect place to relax on beautiful Anna Maria Island. Dan and Lori are terrific hosts and the house has everything you need. The location is perfect and backyard pool is such a great place to kick back. We will definitely be back.

What a wonderful place!! We had everything we needed and more. We couldn’t of expected anymore from the hosts. We will be returning!!

This was a great stay. They thought of everything to enjoy our time on Anna Maria Island. Frankly we would’ve needed a month to utilize all of gear and amenities available. The pool area was perfect and we particularly loved the outdoor shower space. Our hosts were super responsive to small requests though we had only one because as mentioned we lacked nothing. So happy we chose this property.

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Lori \"Goose\" Pekarek

We love to travel. We love to meet other travelers. We love cats and dogs. We love islands. We love fun people. We love to laugh. We love baseball. We love fun. Isn't fun the best thing to have? 👍

Why they chose this property

Good island vibes brought us to Anna Maria Island. Great local motion encouraged us to move here. Awesome pool/spa area attracted us to this home. Amazing cottage charm and sweet location near Bean Point Beach sealed the deal. We fell in love with the quiet residential island neighborhood and live next door to Castaway Cottage. Although Castaway Cottage and the exterior spaces are completely private, we are readily available to offer guest assistance, if needed. We work all the time yet are usually on the island - just a quick text away. Whether a romantic getaway or a family vacation, all travelers will find this quiet and unique neighborhood to be a welcoming island home.

What makes this property unique

Short walk to the Rod & Reel Pier and all beaches. The backyard pool and spa = a total tropical delight! Mature landscaping creates a very private atmosphere at the pool area. The pool/spa area and amenities & equipment are all on site and are for the exclusive use of Castaway Cottage guests. The outdoor shower/dressing room is a huge hit with guests! All ground level with a large front porch. Close to Pine Avenue and Gulf Drive eateries & shops! Trolley stops are nearby at The City Pier or on Gulf/Pine. ✨
