Casa Posada - So Close You Can Hear the Waves! Historic Beach Cottage w/ Beach Gear

Welcome to Casa Posada!
On Anna Maria Island (Anna Maria, FL)
Managed by Once Upon A Beach Vacation Rentals, a locally owned and operated boutique vacation rental agency.

Historic ground floor cottage but with all new interior paint and furnishings! Within easy walking distance to the gulf side beaches!

DESCRIPTION:
Casa Posada is a charming old Florida Cracker cottage half block to beach. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath sleeps 6 (King, Queen & Sofa Bed), with a washer/dryer, lush landscaping in back yard with patio and best of all, it's PET FRIENDLY! This historic home is the perfect place to enjoy the laid-back island life with the ones you love.

Upon entering the home, you will find a cozy living room, completely updated, and waiting for you to sit back, relax, and watch the game or your favorite movie. It's the perfect spot to unwind after a long day at the beach! The couch is a sleeper sofa to provide extra sleeping space for 2! You'll easily move into the dining room where there is proper seating for a family of four, to enjoy the fish dinner you caught or to bring in one of our many delicious restaurants take-out!

If eating out isn't your style, you are provided with a full kitchen stoked with a full-size refrigerator, electric stove, oven, toaster, microwave, coffeemaker, pots & pans, and all the additional essentials you would need to enjoy a home cooked meal! Please note that this home does not have a dishwasher.

The King bedroom truly makes you feel like you've landed on Anna Maria Island in it's warm and inviting space. You can forget all your worries as you settle in, cozy up, and enjoy your favorite shows as you drift off to sleep, dreaming of what the next day will bring! This bedroom has a ceiling fan, two nightstands, drawers for your belongings, a TV, and closet to unpack and make yourself at home! The second bedroom in this home provides the same luxury, apart from a single nightstand on one side and a floor lamp on the other – perfect to catch up on some reading!

The bathroom is newly renovated with quality, high-end fixtures, tiles, vanity, and walk-in shower. It's sure to rejuvenate after spending the day exploring this fantastic vacation spot!

The sunroom brings the outdoors, inside! Fully wood paneled, it emphasizes the cottage feel while allowing in some Vitamin-C – but don't worry! The AC and ceiling fan allow you to enjoy a view of the garden space while keeping cool in the heat of the summer.

The backyard provides a place to dine, a deck with pavers, and plenty of shade to bring your meals outside. The lush landscaping makes you feel like you've stepped back to a time before Anna Maria Island was a vacation destination. There is plenty of space to relax, but please note, this home does not have a pool or a fence.

Beach Vacay
This is a vacation rental. If I owned the property, I would improve the back porch, and front steps. I would also modernize the kitchen, and add additional electrical outlets in the bedrooms. Property was clean and everything in working order. We had a great visit to Ana Maria Island.
