- "We rented both side of the duplex to accommodate out of town family. The house was clean and nicely furnished. We enjoyed the location near the beach. I felt it was rude for the owner to show up at times and also park his car in one of the parking places provided for several days since parking is limited and we needed the space. I asked the realty company to help but they did nothing."

Our five unit property was featured in the January/February 2020 issue of Southern Living, and we are honored and thrilled!

Welcome to our Cottage! If you are looking for a simple, quiet, stress-free place to enjoy the beach, this is it. It's not a fancy condo-- no long hallways, distant parking, elevators, or crowds-- and there are no streets to cross to reach the beach--just a sandy walk from your screened porch door. The Cottage is a duplex, and this listing is for the larger side. VRBO #327896 will show you the smaller side. The two sides share a screened porch facing the beach.

The cottage was constructed in 1916 or so, as a caretaker's home for a larger house which is now gone. It has been carefully maintained and updated, but has retained the charm of a bygone era.

The interior walls are heart pine, and so are the floors, refinished by hand. Furnishings have been chosen for comfort-- a rattan recliner and matching sleeper sofa in the living room, dining table with leaf (in case you would like to have a guest or two for supper), and king size bed in the bedroom.

The cottage is shaded by ancient Australian pine trees and has a comfortable shared screened porch for a front-row view of the sunsets and stars. With the windows open at night, you can hear the surf!

Walk directly out the screen porch door, and down to the beach--no streets to cross. Or, sit out on the patio and enjoy your coffee and newspaper, or cocktails. Our guests tell us that the best part of the patio area, (besides the view) is it's size-- plenty of room for spreading out.

We are located a block away from the Cafe on the Beach, convenient for all-you-can-eat pancake breakfasts, quick lunches, and relaxing dinners. The beach-front playground is a block and a half away. Take the free trolley and see the rest of the island.

The other side of this duplex, which is a little smaller, VRBO 327896 is also available. See our other units available on the same property, VRBO 82848, 1473396, and 738184.

You can easily get to Sarasota to see The Ringling Museum, Sarasota Jungle Gardens, and the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.

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.

I'm always available on my cell phone and email. Feel free to contact me if you have any issues.

- "Great place for two people long walk to the beach Beautiful beach not crowded" - "Blue Heron is a cozy cottage, very clean, and stocked with everything you’ll need for your stay.

Along with the washer & dryer in unit, we only needed one suitcase which saved me from having to pay for extra luggage. Highly recommend!!"

Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet walks by quiet sea, quiet thoughts on quiet location, oh how lovely . . .

A guest had this to day: "Songbird is a cute little purple house on a quiet side street on Anna Maria Island. I referred to the house as little, it is really quite spacious & comfortable. This is our 6th stay at Songbird & we are looking forward to our next stay. This trip we were on side B but have also stayed on Side A, both are equally as nice.
The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking essentials. Pots, pans, coffee maker, toaster, blender etc. There is also a charcoal BBQ in the backyard.
The living room is open and airy with a love-seat, comfortable couch & a large TV. The master bedroom has a king bed with a comfortable and supportive mattress. Nightstands, a dresser and closet gives plenty of room to unpack so you won`t feel like you are living out of your suitcase while staying here. The 2nd bedroom is quite large & has twin beds. According to my daughter and travel companion the beds and room are very comfortable.
Washer & dryer are located in a porch outback and shared with people renting the other side of the house. We have never had a problem with this, as knowing it is shared anyone keeps their eye on the laundry and removes it as soon as it is finished.
The wi-fi reaches the backyard and there is free US/Canada wide long distance on the house phone.
I hope this helps with your decision to stay here. We highly recommend it."

Is it perfect? No way, but it is clean and comfortable.

1. The Gulf beach access is 4 blocks but 3 are short blocks and it ends up being 3 in length and having done it a number of times you cut the corners at 64th street and Holmes Blvd and when you arrive at Gulf Drive and 65th there is the beach access and a few parking places. The real good thing is that you don't cross Marina Drive [busy street]. Some guests have driven over and parked or dropped off people and headed back to Songbird and walked back to the beach access.

25. Parking space for two cars.

26. Backyard is a nice size.

I have found that people arrive and unload luggage and head to the beach. The busiest street on the island in this spot is Marina Drive and you do NOT cross it on the way to the beach. The access is a 3-4 block stroll. And the property is located in the middle of the street not on a busy corner or street.

Again, thank you for your time.

- "What you see on line is what you get. Small space as advertised great for a single or couple. Clean and efficient. Host was great with any support needed. This is old Florida type cottage. Great central location on the island. Make sure to stop at Scotty's Deli." - "We had a wonderful stay!The place was spotless and very well-maintained.The location couldn't be better-just a short walk to the beach and super convenient for getting around the island.Everything was exactly as described, and communication with the host was smooth and easy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway. "
