About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Gillian Parker
We purchased the house in 2008, since then we have made many changes so that we offer a high standard to all of our guests. We love sharing this piece of paradise with friends and guests, its our happy place. Sitting on the front deck with a glass of wine, sunbathing by the pool, or walking on the beach, it just amazing.
Why they chose this property
The house is just a 3 min walk to the Beach at Bean point. The neighbourhood is quiet which makes for a relaxing stay. Its also a short walk to the Rod and Reel pier for a great breakfast. Other restaurants are an easy bike ride away, or walkable in 15/20 mins.
What makes this property unique
We visit the house for at least 2 months (April and October), we can then ensure that we offer a high standard of accommodation for all of our guests.
