My wife and I were looking for a relaxing quiet beach get away and The Blue Herron Cottage did not disappoint. House was very clean with nice appliances. Gustavo was very quick to respond if we had questions. Loved we could just walk down the street and be on the beach. We saw the most amazing sunset on Bean Point. We also loved the beach supplies - buggy, beach chairs, umbrella - we used them everyday. We will definitely be back!! AMI is such a charming town (it was our first time). We fell in love with it - lovely soft white sand, clear water and not too crowded at the beach by the house.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Heron. It was beautifully decorated, comfortable bedding, and totally refurbished and clean! The house was well stocked with essentials, there was a sweet outdoor area to sit in the sun and an outdoor shower! Loved the location- close to Bean Point and also Pine Street. Great restaurants- ate at The Waterfront and the Sandbar. Both fabulous with great views. Anna Maria Island has beautiful beaches. We loved renting a golf cart to get around. Can't wait to come back.
We loved our stay in Anna Maria. The house was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. Being able to walk 3 blocks straight to Bean Point was the highlight !
We had a great time at this property. It was nicely located from the beach with just a short walk. We enjoyed the use of the beach cart, chairs, umbrella etc. as well! It was nice to have an outdoor shower after being at the beach all day and it was great to have use of the patio. (Nice and peaceful)
However, we do wish that the pull out couch was more comfortable. Our daughter had a hard time falling asleep on it. We tried to make it more comfortable. In addition, it was nice to have the two bathrooms but if you are traveling with children; the main bedroom does not have a shower. (Only a 1/2 bath) The full bath is located off the kitchen/living room. It worked out just fine for us but it may not work for some small families.
Overall, this was a great property and we would stay here again. It was a nice, quiet place to spend a relaxing beach vacation.
Thoroughly enjoyed our state. The place was absolutely perfect for what we wanted to do which was just hang out and go to the beach and eat some good food. Would highly recommend this place and we definitely intend to go back. About three blocks to an absolutely gorgeous beach! Chairs, umbrella and wagon perfect and everything was a great shape.
The cottage was perfect for our stay, with everything we needed. It was very clean and charming. The location was excellent and within walking distance to Rod & Reel Pier. We love AMI and would use this cottage again.
Clean, well equipped cottage. Short walk to beach. Quaint, quiet neighborhood. Outdoor area was comfortable & private- perfect to enjoy coffee or cocktails. We walked back to the beach every evening to view the beautiful sunsets.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Blue Heron Cottage! It's in a quiet neighborhood and only a few blocks to the ocean. There are many restaurants/ coffee shops nearby. Some we walked to, others were a short drive. The cottage was well stocked. We didn't do any cooking, but appreciated soft towels and items for the beach, like beach chairs.
Over all, we had a great few days at the cottage!
My husband and I along with our two children ages 8 and 18 months old stayed here and it was perfect for our family. Nice and open with options to eat outdoors. A beach wagon, chairs and boogie boards were also availavle. Very family oriented rental. Close to ocean and shops! Quiet neighborhood which was nice. Highly recommend!
My wife and I loved the Blue Heron! It was exactly what we needed. Incredible location with a short walk to Bean Point, where we swam with Manatees daily and enjoyed the quiet and beautiful beach. The property was in good shape and as advertised. The beach cart, chairs and umbrella were an unexpected bonus that we used every day, and a great thing to have for visitors flying in who couldnât pack those items. We would absolutely stay again in the future. Thank you!
My wife, kids and I have been living in Florida for the last 20 years. We love the outdoors, especially the water. That is why a few years ago after a search for the perfect getaway we decided to acquire a little piece of paradise on beautiful Anna Maria island. It is a very special place with a small town feeling and pristine white sand beaches and we love to host visitors from all around the world in our cozy cottage named Blue Heron Cottage. We take great pride in ensuring our guests leave our place with great memories and the desire to come back.
