Sixty steps from a wide, never-crowded beach, on the quiet end of Anna Maria Island. We are one of the few family-run homes left on the island, we answer our own messages, and so many of our guests come back year after year. Cute and easy, with two queen bedrooms, a sun room, a private yard and your own entrance. Sleeps 5, and pets are welcome.

The space
A quiet, private retreat 60 steps from the Gulf. Your own entrance off the street opens to two queen bedrooms with closets, 1.5 baths, and a bright sun room and veranda for morning coffee. There is a private backyard and plenty of seating inside and out. Sleeps 5: two queens, plus a couch or air bed for a fifth (the living-room couch is comfortable but is not a sofa bed, so we would rather be upfront).

Full kitchen, large laundry with washer and dryer, a dedicated workspace, a 65-inch smart TV with Netflix, fast wifi up to 300 Mbps, central AC on a Nest, a propane grill, and one dedicated parking space. Two dogs welcome, any size.

The beach is a one-minute walk, with Aluna Wellness Center and Spa right on the way. Anna Maria Sound is steps away, Historic Bridge Street Pier is a short drive, and the free island trolley runs the length of the island. Beach chairs and toys left by past guests are free to use.

Coming with friends or extended family? Book Happy Turtle A together with the home next door, Happy Turtle B, for a 4-bedroom whole-property stay with two living spaces and privacy for everyone. Prefer an upscale stay with a private pool? Look up Happy Island Cottage, our second beach home, 10 minutes away in Holmes Beach.

Guest access
The whole home is yours, with your own private entrance off the street and a private backyard.

Other things to note
* The grill has a propane tank in place. Please refill it after use; if it arrives low, Holmes Beach Ace Hardware (right by the Publix) does quick exchanges.

* AC holds the 72-80F range. The Nest is not locked: if it reads 76, that is Eco mode after the house sat empty, and it resumes your setting on its own.

* TVs are streaming through Amazon Fire Sticks. You are free to use any of your subscription services, but please remember to log out after your vacation. If you are not familiar with Amazon Fire Sticks or smart TVs in general, please search online for instructions. We do not provide assistance with basic operations.
