Escape the Traffic:

Private Waterfront Oasis on AMI’s Historic North End.

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage, a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom premium coastal retreat designed for families, boaters, and beach lovers. Situated on a pristine deep-water canal on the exclusive, historic North End of Anna Maria Island, this property allows you to completely bypass the heavy tourist traffic of Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach while keeping everything you love within a short stroll.

Walk just half a block (3 minutes) to splash in the calm waters of Bay Beach, or take a 15-minute sunset stroll to the iconic shores of Bean Point. When you are ready for shopping, ice cream, or dinner, the boutique storefronts of Pine Avenue, the historic City Pier, and the famous Rod and Reel Pier are all just steps from your front door.
