Unique beach house near Bean Point, heated pool and just 3 min to beach.

Hurricane update. Our house is ready to welcome guests. The island businesses are looking forward to welcoming guests. Fern Cottage is fantastic elevated Beach House with a private heated pool situated in the sought after residential north end of Anna Maria Island. Superbly located, only 3 minutes walk to the best beaches, only in the north end do you have access to the Gulf and Bay beaches, watch the dolphins, see the huge variety of birds and watch the glorious sunsets. The location is just what is needed for a relaxing holiday. The house offers two outdoor areas, the pool is situated in a mature tropical garden and has a paved area for loungers and large sheltered deck with a ceiling fan. Relax on the sofa and chairs or dine at the beautiful wooden table. For breakfast sit on the front deck overlooking the tropical neighbourhood, in this very quiet area. Large choice of recommended restaurants nearby. Stroll to the famous Sandbar Restaurant, have dinner and watch the sun go down over the Gulf of Mexico. Fishing, boat trips, golf, shopping all with in easy reach, information pack provided. Note we visit for 9 weeks a year to make sure that the property offers a very high standard to our guests.

Stellar Location
Beautiful house in the Bean Point area of Anna Maria (very quiet). Three minute walk to both Bean Point and bay side beaches. Wonderful.House has three well appointed bedrooms and a beautiful pool that is quite large for this area. Ample supplies are provided eliminating the need to immediately head to the store.Highly recommended for family vacation. We hope to return on a future visit.

I love how close this property is to the beach and Bean point. It was a nice surprise to have access to bikes to use as well. The back patio and pool were covered by shade so that was disappointing not to get to lay in the sun.

Outstanding Property and excellent location.
We have been coming to AMI for years now and love the northern end of the island. This house was perfect for our family and had all the extra beach "stuff" you could ask for. Bikes, beach chairs, beach wagon, pool floats, coolers and more. Loved the bike option instead of having to rent them. We even biked to Coquina beach one day (14 miles round trip). The layout of the house is excellent and super nice. The cleanliness was excellent as well. We loved not having to find somewhere to park as walking distance to Bean Point is so close. Back porch/patio area was nice. Loved being able to sit outside in the shade while others were swimming.

Hidden Oasis
This is our second year staying at this property. We cannot say enough positive things about it. First, it is very clean and charming. It comes with ample amenities including bikes, beach chairs, ect... The backyard is truly a hidden oasis. The private pool is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. Second, the property is ideally situated in a very quiet residential area; however, it is in very close proximity to Rod & Reel Pier and a very short walk/drive to the city pier and pine street stores. Finally, AMI itself it wonderful. We saw dolphins and/or manatees each day during out week-long stay. We even saw a sea turtle on the beach at night. There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities (snorkeling, fishing, shelling), shopping (lots of very nice little shops), eating or just relaxing.

Bean Point beauty
We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The location is incredible, just a short walk to Bean Point. The home itself is beautiful and equipped with everything you could possibly need, including beach carts, coolers, bikes, and sand toys. The landscaping and pool area are lovely, and everything was very clean. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation spot!

Relaxing winter getaway
We stayed in Fern Cottage as a winter getaway. It was a fun place to relax with another couple -- clean, quiet and accommodating. Checking in and out was easy. Everything was clean and tidy upon our arrival. The layout was comfortable and there were lots of great spaces to hang out, including a nice deck with a dining table. The beach was just a convenient stroll away and we were especially thankful for the heated pool this time of year. We appreciated having all the basic kitchen tools we needed for making our own meals sometimes. We also enjoyed eating out, its own form of sightseeing, particularly when it’s within walking distance. Overall, it was a very smooth rental experience. Communication was clear. We had no issues but knew help was easy to contact if we did. We look forward to visiting again.

Wonderful stay!
This property has everything we needed for a wonderful week! Bikes were provided which we enjoyed riding on the island. The pool was relaxing. It was a wonderful trip for for our family of 6. My only suggestion would be for a tv to be in each bedroom. The coffee pot stopped working and Green Realty responded quickly to our request for another one to be provided. We had no issues. Quiet time is from 10pm to 8 am and no one is allowed in the pool after these hours. This was something that we wish was different because night swims are nice. Overall it was great and clean!

The location is the best on the island, a two minute walk to the best beach and 10 minutes to the city pier where you can eat and drink overlooking the Ocean. The property is immaculate and gives you that perfect beach style home experience. It's the second time we have stayed hear and we are already planning our third.

Definitely a 5-star property. The house and grounds were immaculate. The pool was a definite hit with the family. Prior to the visit, the host ensured that all of our needs and questions were promptly addressed. The island itself was amazing. The neighborhood is very quiet. Rod and Reel Pier and Bean Point are both within walking distance. The City Pier is a quick bike ride away. It was nice not having the drive everywhere. We cannot wait to stay here again!!!!!!

Outstanding!
Everything about our stay at the Fern Cottage was outstanding…the house and grounds, amenities, location and more. The house is beautiful with just about everything you can image….like being at home! We spent many hours at the pool, a private oasis, immaculately maintained weekly! The beach is a stones throw away from the house with a lot of beach gear to use. The location is perfect for walking to Pine Ave to shops and restaurants. We loved the Waterfront, Sandbar, Ginny’s and Jane E’s, Mademoiselle Paris (croissants), and the Rod and Reel. It was a perfect month and we were sad to see it end! The Fern Cottage is one of our favorite VRBO rentals to date!
