Guests keep coming back

Guests return year after year and praise the beach proximity, cleanliness, and Alex and Elena's warmth
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: two queen bedrooms, a full bath, a private entrance and a private backyard. Sleeps 4, and pets are welcome.

The space
A clean, comfortable, well-kept retreat 60 steps from the Gulf. Your own entrance off the street opens to two queen bedrooms with closets, one full bath, and a living room with a smart TV and Netflix. There is a private backyard for morning coffee. Comfortably sleeps four.

Full kitchen, washer and dryer, central AC on a Nest, fast wifi up to 300 Mbps, 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, 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 a bigger group? Book Happy Turtle B together with the home next door, Happy Turtle A, 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.
