Perfect Beach Spot

This is a perfect place to stay on Ana Maria Island. The property is serene with a beautiful courtyard and lush tropical landscape. It was Thanksgiving week and my wife and I were tasked with preparing most of the dishes. The kitchen was perfect for this task and is outfitted with everything you could want to prepare a big meal. Definitely would stay here again!

Great bungalow in a great location!

We had a great stay at Bird of Paradise. The bungalow was super clean upon arrival, the location is fantastic to any point on the island, and the people we encountered were super-friendly. Even our little pup had a wonderful time!

Sweet Island Cottage

We enjoyed our stay in the Bird of Paradise cottage. We had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Beautiful tropical garden cared for by Kat and her husband. Cottage was clean and kitchen was well-equipped. Sweet front porch with chairs, a fan and a lamp. The cottages are across the street from the path to the Gulf. Nice ocean breezes and lovely stay. Great communication with Shanna in the office. Couldn’t ask for more!

Excellent

Last year my sister and I lost our oldest sister to covid and decided we needed some sister time. We rented this little cottage and brought along our spouses. The cottage had everything we needed including beach items. It was in close proximity to the beach and well within a hop skip and jump to the beach. The listing was just as described. We rented a golf cart during our stay and were within a couple of minutes ride to Hurricanes Hanks and souvenir shops. It was also a short ride to the Waterline Resort/Marina where we took a private sunset sail on the flip flops sail boat. The only issue we had was not being able to open the safe but management was right on it. I would highly recommend this gem if your considering visiting the island. Absolutely beautiful environment and very well maintained!
