Great Cottage Near the Beach

Had a great stay at Sand Dollar Shack. The house in immaculate! Ben and Keren do an amazing job keeping the property in top condition. When we walked in, it looked brand new. It has everything you need to live comfortably for an extended stay. We were there for a month. It is also in a great location, a quiet neighborhood near the beach. Shops and restaurants in Anna Maria are walkable (a long walk, but walkable) or a very short free trolley ride away. Ben and Keren are also very responsive. We had a question and Ben appeared at our door minutes later to help. Overall we had an exceptional experience. If you are looking to come to Anna Maria Island, I strongly encourage you to stay in one of the Lizzie Lu houses. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Great stay at AMI!!

This property was perfect for my family of four! The house was charming and clean. The pool in the backyard was perfect for evening swims. The beach was only a 2-3 minute walk which is perfect for my family since we spent most of our time there enjoying the crystal clear blue water!! Would definitely stay here again!

Lizzy Lu's is the best!

Everything about this rental was top notch. The residence was clean, a 4 minute walk to the beach and the staff fantastic! Our golf cart rental with another company fell apart and they hooked us up with one of their own. When we ran into issues with that one they responded and corrected the issue without hesitation whatsoever. I honestly can't say enough good things about our stay.

Clean, bright and spacious beach home!

We absolutely loved our stay here! Our two daughters loved their bunk beds, the pool and everything else about the home! Ben is great and always there when you need something! A great choice for a family of 4 or 5.
