Fantastic hosts, homes and location

We stayed here for 4 nights just before Thanksgiving. All correspondence leading up to visit was super helpful. Dan and Goose there to meet us on arrival, warm and welcoming. The property is so well equipped, the attention be detail was amazing. Just what we needed after 2 weeks at Disney. The location at Bean Point - perfect. Golf buggy that is included - nippy. Recommendations - perfect and person-centred down to the time of sunset. Wine, beer in the porch and chocolates. ❤️ Would recommend to anyone wanting a great vacation. Pool area amazing with TV and BBQ. Thank you! Debbie, John and Eilidh from Scotland.

Awesome place!

Perfect location and facilities for our family of 4 in this little cottage. Just what we needed to relax and unwind after a week in Orlando. The kids loved the pool and it was great to be able to use the golf cart, kayak and paddleboards. Close to the beach and not far from a lovely ice cream shop. Clean property with nice decor and comfortable furnishings. Hosts on hand and very approachable. Would go back.

Fabulous Stay on Stunning Anna Maria

Dan and Goose were perfect hosts and their property is ideal for a family of 4 or potentially 2 couples. The location is great, the amenities (toys!) are so good to have access to, and you can’t fail to have a good time. The pool is lovely and a welcome break from the beach at times, they also have a well thought-out shower beside the pool that we used all the time (including morning and evening). I am sure we will return. Thanks Dan and Goose.

Return trip

This was our second stay at Castaway Cottage and we were just as pleased the second time around. Location is perfect- our favorite place to stay on the island. The house had everything our family needed but the backyard and pool are the most special part of this home!

Why they chose this property

Good island vibes brought us to Anna Maria Island. Great local motion encouraged us to move here. Awesome pool/spa area attracted us to this home. Amazing cottage charm and sweet location near Bean Point Beach sealed the deal. We fell in love with the quiet residential island neighborhood and live next door to Castaway Cottage. Although Castaway Cottage and the exterior spaces are completely private, we are readily available to offer guest assistance, if needed. We work all the time yet are usually on the island - just a quick text away. Whether a romantic getaway or a family vacation, all travelers will find this quiet and unique neighborhood to be a welcoming island home.

What makes this property unique

Short walk to the Rod & Reel Pier and all beaches. The backyard pool and spa = a total tropical delight! Mature landscaping creates a very private atmosphere at the pool area. The pool/spa area and amenities & equipment are all on site and are for the exclusive use of Castaway Cottage guests. The outdoor shower/dressing room is a huge hit with guests! All ground level with a large front porch. Close to Pine Avenue and Gulf Drive eateries & shops! Trolley stops are nearby at The City Pier or on Gulf/Pine. ✨
