Great 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom cottage on the quiet north end of island. The house is conveniently located and within walking distance (two short blocks) to the beach and close to the intersection of Fern Street/Alamanda Road. This great getaway sleeps up to 4.
The cottage has an open floor plan and it is about 900 sq ft. There is a bedroom with 1/2 bath inside and a laundry room. There is a full bath out of the bedroom which makes it very comfortable when there are more than 2 guests with. The living room has a sofa, which also becomes a comfortable queen bed. It is not the kind where the mattress is folded when in use as a sofa. My favorite spot of the house is the private outdoor shower with hot and cold water. The side door leads to the patio where you will find an outdoor dining area complete with oversized umbrella, a high-top table, outdoor shower, and electric grill. You will also find a beach cart to transport beach essentials to and from the beach.
**electric grill, beach chairs, umbrella and wagon are provided for your convenience**
The house is located on the very desirable quiet north end of the island. Specifically 2 short blocks from the very end. It is very peaceful and beautiful around this quite area with very low traffic, if any at all. You can easily travel across the island on the free trolley, which has many stops throughout the island. There are also many places who offer bikes and golf carts for rent. There are many restaurants, small shops and a Publix supermarket all with in 10 min max driving and reachable by bikes and golf carts. You can take a very short easy walk to the famous Rod and Reel pier/restaurant.

We had a great stay at Blue Heron Cottage. The beach is within walking distance; so is the town. The cottage itself is clean, spacious, and comfortable. It is the perfect place for couples or small families staying on Anna Maria Island.
The cottage was perfect for us. Clean and comfortable in a quiet neighborhood. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach and a short drive to shops and restaurants. Host is friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay here again.
Everything was amazing, plenty of room for the four of us. Great location. Any questions were answered quickly from the owner. We would definitely stay here again.
We loved our stay in Anna Maria. The house was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. Being able to walk 3 blocks straight to Bean Point was the highlight !
We were very impressed with the overall cleanliness and amenities of the Blue Heron. Very quiet neighborhood & easy walk to beach. (just wish it had a dishwasher!)
The cottage was perfect for our stay, with everything we needed. It was very clean and charming. The location was excellent and within walking distance to Rod & Reel Pier. We love AMI and would use this cottage again.
This cottage had everything we needed which resulted in a wonderful, relaxing time with my daughter before she goes to college. Absolutely perfect (and yes, the outdoor shower is as great as everyone says).
Thoroughly enjoyed our state. The place was absolutely perfect for what we wanted to do which was just hang out and go to the beach and eat some good food. Would highly recommend this place and we definitely intend to go back. About three blocks to an absolutely gorgeous beach! Chairs, umbrella and wagon perfect and everything was a great shape.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Heron. It was beautifully decorated, comfortable bedding, and totally refurbished and clean! The house was well stocked with essentials, there was a sweet outdoor area to sit in the sun and an outdoor shower! Loved the location- close to Bean Point and also Pine Street. Great restaurants- ate at The Waterfront and the Sandbar. Both fabulous with great views. Anna Maria Island has beautiful beaches. We loved renting a golf cart to get around. Can't wait to come back.
We had a great time. Did some bicycling and beaching. Very chill and quiet area. Pine Ave area was cool. Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach much more lively.
My wife, kids and I have been living in Florida for the last 20 years. We love the outdoors, especially the water. That is why a few years ago after a search for the perfect getaway we decided to acquire a little piece of paradise on beautiful Anna Maria island. It is a very special place with a small town feeling and pristine white sand beaches and we love to host visitors from all around the world in our cozy cottage named Blue Heron Cottage. We take great pride in ensuring our guests leave our place with great memories and the desire to come back.
