Beautiful getaway
Perfect little getaway. Cottage was clean and absolutely adorable. The pool area was like a tropical paradise. The landscaping was perfect and added privacy from nearby neighbors. 2 minute walk to the beach was perfect. ‘Big Jenga’ was a huge hit and we played for hours. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Island Paradise!
The Lime Cottage was perfect for our family vacation. Close to beach, bay and walking distance to so many things to do. And kicking back by the pool was a daily favorite. Would love to stay here again!

Nebraskans Hit the Water
As advertised, a cozy, homey, perfect vacation rental for this family of five, two adults and 3 teens. Perks: 1) Location. Two blocks to bay, two blocks to public access beach, which, after touring whole island was the least crowded spot. Also quick trolley trip south to Bridge Street to the south and Manatee Beach to the north. Longer drive/trolley north to Anna Maria. 2) Pool. This heated pool with built in seating was the first thing we did when we woke up and last thing we did before we went to sleep. So glad to have had a pool as well. 3) Warm welcome notes from management company and homeowner. Felt personal and human. We visited friends in new construction elsewhere on the island. While it was big, roomy and magazine-like it felt impersonal and like space was wasted on the inside when where you want to be is outdoors. Loved feeling like we were in a real neighborhood in an older home that had been so well-loved.

Owner communication
Laura, the owner, was awesome with communication. Being available and responsive for questions, etc. Her cleaning person missed things - primarily some things on the Lanai room. The pool is fabulous. We definitely enjoyed our stay.

Highly recommend
The house is absolutely adorable! Close enough to many places we went to walk and for those a little further nothing was more than a 20 minute drive. As we came the island in mid February the ocean water was a bit cool but the pool made up for that. We had a couple of small glitches with the house but all was made right within 30 minutes or so. Will definitely check availability of the Lime House again when we come back to AMI. It was the perfect base for the perfect vacation.

Christmas Season
The weather was on the cool side, but everything was fine in the cottage. We went to the aquarium, and my 20-year-old went to the gym in Holmes Beach. It was a great stay!

Lime Cottage
We enjoyed our stay at the lime cottage. Small and quaint, walking distance to beach, very clean pool. Odd that master bedroom had no bathroom attached while the second bedroom had one attached. An older building but very clean Land comfortable. Could use a couple more chairs by pool. Would definitely stay again!
