Simply Wonderful

We stayed for two weeks at Suite 2 and were delighted from the moment we arrived. The accommodation is light and airy, with unparalleled views of the beach and Gulf. The cottage contains everything you need for a great stay – plenty of utensils, and a generous welcome pack to get you started (even when arriving late in the evening, as we did). There are all the loungers and beach chairs you could want, plus ample shade if the sun becomes too much. In short, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Perfect Island Retreat

Me and my partner have been to Anna Maria Island quite a few times with family but needed a place for us this time as we got married! This place looked lovely online, with a great location straight out onto the beach. Check in and check out was easy and well communicated, Tamie made sure we knew how to contact her. You get left a helpful folder with ‘how to’ for certain things in the accommodation, clear guide to where everything was and also a lovely email prior to check in with recommended places to go! It did not disappoint! We loved it here, it was clean, well equipped with essentials, both in the kitchen and bathroom. Lots of spare towels, flannels, cooking utensils and a kettle for us Brit’s! We especially loved being right on the beach going out during the day and never missing a sunset. We found the spare beach towels, beach chairs and the outside shower (for cleaning off our feet or washing off the sea water after a swim) very useful!! An absolutely essential for that location to stop sand going into the property. Also the tables outside on the patio provided us with a lovely evening or lunchtime seating area that we had to ourselves each time. Helped that we had the unit out front as we just stepped out the patio doors! We would definitely stay here again, no complaints from us! Thank you so much Tamie - we’ll be back!

Best Place to Stay!

We have now stayed in this suite for two times, two weeks each stay. We love the location on the island, love the beachfront view, and love that it's small with only 4 suites, and usually only adults only as neighbors. The suite is modern and clean. We will be back on our next trip!

Picture Perfect Getaway

This sweet little beachfront cottage couldn't have been more perfect for the two of us! Wonderful location, quiet neighborhood, sparkling clean, amazing sunsets, comfy beds, fabulous decor, communicative and responsive host, direct gulf front views that make you wish this home was your own. Seriously, does it get any better than this? As we pulled out of the driveway on check-out day, we were checking out the availability calendar for a future visit! That says it all.

Sailfish #2

My husband and I spent a week at Sailfish for our anniversary. We really enjoyed the close proximity to the beach! Additionally, the lounge chairs/patio furniture were nice options when we wanted to be closer to the unit but still see the beach! The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. Communication was super easy. We had a couple questions while we were there, and Emilio responded to our emails promptly and thoroughly. Overall, an excellent stay. Hopefully, we will be able to visit again in the future!
