Great location, great pool

Location is ideal - walkable to many restaurants and shops, bike ride to the beach. My kids loved the salt water hot tub and pool which were very well maintained. Cottage has everything you need for a beach vacation - a little run down but we’ll maintained and comfortable. We will definitely be back!!

Amazing vaca

Perfect location, walking distance to all the shops and restos. It feels like you landed in the Caribbean once you enter the backyard. So relaxing, such a perfect vacation vibe. Loved the 15 min walk to Beach beach with the most beautiful crystal blue water. The boys said it was the best vaca . Thank you

Great location for beach and restaurants!

This property was perfectly situated in between the beach and the pier area. We found plenty of restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance. The pool and backyard space were also very nice. It’s an older home with two nice rooms and one that would be better for kids. The one that would be better for kids had a fairly uncomfortable twin mattress but the king room was lovely! There were more bugs than we would have liked but that could have been August in Florida. Overall, I’d recommend for a quick weekend getaway!

Great Location

We have stayed at this exact house 3 times now. We return to it because of its location and the superior rental managment company experience. They are awesome. The yard is awesome. The location is also a huge plus for this property. The property is definitely in need of some TLC. The overall cleanliness of the house was not ideal for my liking. The main things were clean, but baseboard had a ton of dust as did the decor items. I cleaned the ledges and the decor in the main bathroom because it was pretty bad. Overall, a good stay.

This nice little home was private, clean and the most perfect place for a great fun relaxing place.

It was perfect for me. My sister and 2 daughters to enjoy a special time together. We were 2 doors away from an ice cream shop, a block from a fishing pier and beach. We were right on the bus line to tour Anna Marie Island without moving our car. The private pool and hot tub was a great asset which allowed us time to remember when with lots of laughs and special moments. I will be going back again to this little private place for more of the same. The real estate agency was there whenever we had questions or needed anything. I cannot say enough about the entire experience. It was the best.

Pool is nice

The location is perfect! The pool and backyard is a paradise. But, the second bath has a mildew smell that hasn’t left my clothes. Even after two or three washes at home our nice summer clothes all smell like mildew. The pool was salt water and when the pool maintenance came they said it needed chlorine bc the salt needed replans the owners hadn’t done that. Also the place is smaller than it looks in the pictures. We had two couples. I’d say it would be best for a small family. The third bedroom is open to the bathroom, so no privacy unless you close the bedroom door.

Location

Pros: The house is cute with 3 bedrooms and a fantastic backyard. Kitchen equipped. Location, location, location was great. Unfortunately, some cons as well.. We did have issues with the hot tub that did not get warm, lighting in the backyard was out, rusty grill and freezer not cold resulting in a melted ice cream cake for my son's birthday. Also, no book with instructions and when I reached out to the rental folks I received one response telling me they would come on Saturday but no one ever showed up and no response at all after reaching out a 2nd time. I would rent again but would inquire about these things beforehand.

Great location

The location was great - an easy walk to all you could need, including The Waterfront (delicious restaurant). Our kids spent all their time in the pool and on the beach. Also, the beds were very comfortable. Only snag was that the lockbox for the key was jammed at check in but after calling, someone came by and helped us in. Would stay here again!

Florida Road Trip

We stopped in Anna Maria Island for three days on our road trip visiting Florida beaches. We loved Anna Maria Island. The Naut 2 Shabby Cottage was the perfect location for exploring the island. We loved the quaint charm of the cottage.

Being walking distance to the pier, and to gift shops and restaurants was important to us and so this location was perfect. We enjoyed the private pool and spent a fair amount of time in it.

Amazing stay!!!

This property was truly amazing for anyone that is looking for a wonderful cottage experience with the charm of the island. Myself and three sisters celebrated a big milestone in our lives and it was amazing to have such a comfort knowing that the process was easy to get in & enjoy. the pool was warm the hot tub was hot the only item that we had problem with was the Internet which was not necessarily the fault of the rental unit itself. it was so unbelievably convenient and so much fun! If I could give it more than five stars I would! thank you so much . The Naut 2 Shabby is a perfect island experience in every way.

Awesome Backyard

We really enjoyed our stay here. The backyard was great especially for smaller children and in wepp-kept condition (except the basketball hoop needs a net!). The location on the island was excellent with most of the desireable spots just a short walk away. The inside of the house needs some TLC but it was ok for a vacation stay. The water pressure in the shower was great but the handle was loose and temperature would change as it rotated on its own. Overall we were very happy.
