Wonderful property that lives up to its advertisement. Located just outside the busy streets so it is nice and quiet while still being very close to several beaches, shops, and restaurants. Host was very helpful and responsive helping to make our trip easy and relaxing.

Great Vacay Spot!

My family comes to AMI every summer. This is our first time at this house, but it was perfect for our needs. It was clean, bright, and fresh. And it was close enough to the beach that we could walk. Plus, the owners were communicative and timely provided the information I needed for when we got there. I would definitely stay here again!

First trip to Anna Maria Island - This was a great stay

Our first time on AMI. Angel Fish cottage was beyond all of our expectations! Beautiful, clean , so well appointed. The attention to detail in decor is spectacular, exactly how I would do it! I had the perfect birthday weekend here, beach walks, sunsets, good food and relaxation. We enjoyed Ugly Grouper, Sand Bar and the Waterfront.

Absolutely cozy – we loved every minute!

My sister and I had such a wonderful time staying in this charming bungalow – it was incredibly cozy, warm, and welcoming. We instantly felt at home, and every little detail made it clear that this place was put together with love. If we could give it a hundred points, we absolutely would – five stars just don’t seem enough!A special shoutout to Patti, our lovely host – communication with her was fantastic from start to finish. She made everything so easy. Thank you, Patti!

Great VRBO

We came down last minute for family business. We were very pleased with our rental. Very Clean and had everything you would need to stay -especially since we like to cook at home- Having a grill and a pool was a plus for us! Would recommend this to anyone.

Cozy with all you need

If you’re looking for a very clean, smaller property with everything you need, this one is easy on the budget compared to many lodgings in this fantastic location. We had 5 adults and were out and about so much that having a smaller unit was not an issue. Kitchen is nice sized and updated. We had chilly temps, so I can’t vouch for the pool (never touched it), but it was serviced by a cleaning service twice during our stay so was obviously well maintained.

Can't wait to go back

I can't say enough great things about this property. The Angel Fish Cottage was just so perfect. It is very convenient to the Bean Point beaches and maybe two blocks from the Rod and Reel pier. Just so convenient to everything. My wife and I went by ourselves and there was certainly plenty of room but with the second bedroom, it would also be good for a small family. The pool was so nice and a great option since the Gulf waters were pretty cool during the second week of November, when we were there. I do wish the pool had been a few degrees warmer, but it really wasn't anything to complain about. There were beach chairs, a super handy beach cart, towels, and everything you would need. I would love to stay here again!

The house was perfect for our stay! There was plenty of room for the five of us. The pool was nice after day at the beach. There were ceiling fans in the bedrooms, which doesn’t appear to be in pics. The beds were all comfortable. Easy walk to beach and restaurants. Would stay here again.

Relaxing stay

We had a really nice, relaxing stay. The location is perfect since it's not in a busy area so it's quiet, but also just a short walk/ride to places on Pine Avenue. The pool/outdoor area was nice to have at times we didn't want to haul everything to the beach. When we did go to the beach, the umbrella and chairs provided were a big plus. We never heard much of any noise from the family staying on the other side of the duplex so privacy did not seem like an issue. I would stay at this property again.

Awesome Stay!

Wonderful stay!! No issues with water pressure, in fact, the pressure was great. Everything was in like new condition except the bikes and chairs are somewhat rusty. We did get one bike operational and the chairs were likely usable, but we had our own because we drove down. These to me are bonus items that are not always included anyway. The washer and dryer is a very large, new set that is shared. We had only one problem and that was the door sometimes did not unlock. We never got the key box open either (maybe wrong code), but just kept trying the door until it opened. My son had the magic touch for it.The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook. We did not find a grill brush though and the store was out, so we used aluminum foil. Beds and furniture were very comfortable and the pool was sparkling clean and warm! Walls are thick, so we didn't even really hear the guests on the other side. With the foliage and fence it was surprisingly private poolside even with close neighbors around. The location is quiet and an easy walk to many gorgeous beach spots around Bean Point. The north end is our favorite because of this, but if you desire a little more action go to Bridge Street on the south end. The sunsets are beautiful no matter what Gulf side beach you are at and the sunrises are amazing as well. Will definitely try and stay here again. Thank you to the owners, Mike and Patty, for sharing your home in this wonderful vacation spot!

February vacation

This house was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 years and 9 months). The property is exactly as described and pictured. We loved having our own pool to use in the afternoons while our girls napped. We rented a golf cart and the location of this house was perfect to get anywhere we wanted to go on a golf cart. We look forward to staying here again!

About the host

Hosted by Patty Brugger

Host profile image
We are lovers of all things Anna Maria. Have spent many family gatherings, especially fourth of July on the island. It has always been a great place for us to disconnect from work and be mindful of each other. We have loved watching our kids grow and creating memories to last here. Hoping you will get the same joy, there is nothing like going to the beach to warm your soul, toes and cool off your thoughts!

Why they chose this property

This property is new to us and we look forward to delivering the same 5 star rating that the previous owner provided. It is minutes to 7 miles of the sugary sand of Anna Maria. It has a private pool and outdoor space. Comfortable beds and family time space. Rent one side or both for bigger accomodation needs.
