About this property

"La Casita" Beautiful, Elegant Florida Cottage, 1 Minute Walk to the Beach!

Nestled in beautiful tropical landscaping, this 2 bed, 2 bath beach cottage vacation rental blends simple elegance with a prime location, just steps from the gorgeous Gulf sands of Anna Maria Island!

While the décor sets a soothing tone from the minute you step foot inside, there are surprising and colorful touches throughout the home. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind from the demands of the day-to-day, with two sitting areas, a shady outdoor seating space, and a screened lanai.

But the best part just might be around the corner, a one-minute walk away – the famous white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island! Positioned North of Pine Avenue, these beaches are the least crowded and, in our humble opinion, all the more beautiful for it.

Back at the house, you’ll have all the necessities for a comfortable stay, including WiFi, cable TV, beach towels, and cozy bed and bath linens. There are two bedrooms - one with a king bed and en-suite bathroom with shower, the other with two twin beds – plus a queen sleeper sofa, allowing up to six guests to decompress and reset by living the Island life.

You’ll want to return to this La Casita sooner than later, just try it and see!

La Casita is owned by a family of Island-lovers, excited for others to fall in love just as they have. The current photos were taken in 2022 to showcase the hard work they put in to polish and update this adorable beach cottage, inside and out. The kitchen was updated in August 2023 and now includes a dishwasher and full size smooth top electric range.

❌🐶 Please note that pets are not allowed in this rental.

Special thanks go to the Anna Maria General Store, where you can purchase the LOLA wine used for staging in the photos, and Hometown Desserts, who provided those gorgeous cookies used in the kitchen photos. Both are located on Pine Avenue, not far from La Casita.

Perfect Beach Cottage

This property exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and organized. The beds were comfortable. The location is steps to the beach. Nice beach chairs were available and we enjoyed the outdoor living area. We hope to stay at this location in the future. Don’t hesitate to book a stay at this adorable cottage! We enjoyed dinners at the Porch, Pizza Social and the Sand dollar. While parts of the island are recovering our stay was perfect!

Great

Some lights don't work in the dining room, I didn't find any power outlets in the master room. But the house is cute and the decoration is cozy. The house should have more beach umbrellas , it only has one, more entertainment such as a paddle board, a domino game and ping-pong table, etc. Thank you

Excellent beach house!

Lovely older beach house, well stocked, on a fairly busy road in the quiet upper end of the island. Easy access to everything. Anna Maria is booming with lots of people and construction. Still a nice family oriented beach area.

Wonderful property

The property is well maintained. About 2-3min walk to the beach. It is still the original Charme of Anna Maria. It is fully equipped and we did miss nothing. The property is perfect to spend a vacation on the beach. Thank you.

Terrific location, well appointed cottage

We enjoyed our stay in "La Cassita". The location is perfect - easy access to the beach and an easy walk to Pine Street. The kitchen and master bathroom are nicely updated and the bedrooms are comfortable. Unfortunately we had a very rainy cold week so we were not really able to sit on the beach - got a couple of beach walks in when there was a brief hour or two without rain; but the cottage was still very comfortable and pleasant even on rainy days, and the local restaurants were fine. We especially like the "laid back" vibe and friendliness of Anna Marie Island.

wonderful!

The house is super cute. It was perfect for our family of 4. We love the northern part of the island and the proximity to the beach is awesome. The master bed is comfortable and the master bath is the perfect size. It would be nice to have a beach umbrella and a cooler. We would definitely love to stay again!!

Our stay at La Casita

Our stay at this lovely beach house was wonderful! From check in to check out everything went smooth. It was everything we expected and more. The biggest and best surprise was the cleanliness of this little beach house. It made us feel right at home from the minute we walked in. Thank you Fran Maxon Real Estate property managment!

Home away from home

La Casita was perfect for our one week stay. We definitely hope to come back! The house isn't overly pretentious but comfortable and clean with a cottage-like feel, and we had everything we needed. There were some issues with the wifi and cable not working at first due to a storm that hit before we arrived, but we were well reimbursed for the trouble. Beach access is nice and close, as well as shops and restaurants. A great setting for a peaceful and relaxing vacation<3

2023 Family Vacation

Nice location to walk to the beach. Property could use updating, especially kitchen. Cooking utensils rusted, stove very old and didn’t try using it. Furniture cover and rugs very dirty with stains. Size of the house worked for us. Location and beach access best part of this property.

Cottage by the Beach

The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed for our week stay. Very convenient to the beach and other island attractions. Also very nice to have a gas grill for nice evenings of cooking out. Chairs and beach supplies came in very handy and very appreciated to have on hand. Also there wasn’t a dishwasher on site but everything mentioned that there was as well as dishwasher soap was also left for us that didn’t need to be left. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of this. Maybe in the future label light switches and also adjust motion light for outside as it went off even while inside the cottage. All around we were very pleased with the cottage and great condition it was in and for our wonderful vacation. Thank you
