Charming Bungalow with Fabulous Location and Private Pool! Like so many homes on Anna Maria Island, our home was severely flooded. Professional photos are coming, but until they are in, we thought you may enjoy a sneak peek! We made a few needed changes in the floor plan, and believe it is at its best ever! We cannot thank those who reached out to us and wished us well, and those understanding guests whose vacations were upended by the storm and its toll on our humble home. It is with much gratitude that we thank you for your kindness, understanding, prayers, and love. Shell We Dance is back and better than EVER!! Sweet vintage 1950's bungalow/cottage with all the charm of the island! Beautifully decorated, fully fenced back yard with private pool, (second building is the original garage where bikes and beach gear are stored). Located on the island's much sought after north end, it is a short walk to Bean Point Beach, Bay Front Beach and Park. Crystal clear waters of the gulf, white sands, and island breezes await! 2 bedrooms, 2 baths. Cozy living room with queen sized foldout sofa, screened in lanai, kitchen, and laundry room. With full sized washer and dryer included in the home and complimentary bikes to explore the island. Other items at the home for your use during your stay are beach towels, pool toys, beach chairs, a cart to roll all your gear to the beach, and pack-n-play for baby. Many accoutrements included! Relax, unwind, and dance like no-one is watching!

We visited the week of July 7th, 2025. The property is exactly as pictured in the listing. It is beautifully decorated, has a nice large outdoor pool area with plenty of seating. The AC is nice and cool for those summer nights. The property is fully stocked with everything you need. There are four bikes available for use and a very short ride to our favorite breakfast and ice cream establishment Two Scoops. We biked to Pine Ave, Ginny and Janes, Mademoiselle, Harrys, the surrounding parks and beaches. The walk to Bean Point beach is less than 5 minutes and we were delighted that the property had a wagon available for use with chairs and an umbrella. There was even a day that we purchased ice cream from a boat on the beach. And best of all, we were able to bring our sweet dog who enjoyed herself as much as we did. I would highly recommend this property and hope to visit again soon. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ccd8aaec-d508-47bc-8ddc-d7de9345b331-1753382414134.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cc0ecdc1-9b73-4cc5-ace5-e67c08d69f69-1753382414198.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f7030960-a6ba-4b59-82f2-bacfa82ef4e6-1753382414006.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Ice cream on the sand?

Almost afraid to say anything in order to keep it a secret. But Don and his wife deserve the business. Unfortunately the house was damaged by the huricanes of 2024 like many others. They rebuilt and Shell We Dance is better than ever! Everything is new including decorations, appliances, beach toys, bikes etc. It's beatifully decorated. The pool is clean and is a wonderful place for a relaxing swim after a long, hot beach day. The owners always happily answered my emails and questions - usually within an hour. The house has everything you could ask for, including a great location. Five minute walk to Bean Point, off-street parking, and a quiet neighbrhood. It's cozy but plenty of room for two couples with one or two children. This place is wonderful! We will be back! Reat assured, the island is back and so is Shell We Dance . ##### Troy R.

The private pool was so nice and all the extra things provided made our beach time so easy! We loved the bicycles. There was even a grill right out by the pool for afternoon burgers. We love AMI and can’t wait to go back! ##### Linda C. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kim m.

Feb 15, 2019 #### wonderful location in old Florida style house in quiet neighborhood If you are looking for new, modern condo with lots of nightlife, you would not be happy in "Shall We Dance". But, if you are looking for an old time and charming Florida home, look no more. The location is prime. One or two blocks to Bean Point and gorgeous beaches. We went out for sunset most evenings. Neighborhood is quiet and friendly and many nice things were there (dish soap, laundry supplies and tissues in many rooms (those of us with allergies REALLY found this thoughtful), fire built in the outdoor fire pit, and bikes to ride. Would suggest doing as advised by owners and bringing you own bike lock. Might need to adapt dining space. And It is a bit tight for space in the kitchen (we think with two trying to work . in the kitchen at the same time is how they got the name "Shall We Dance"). But for the location and charm it is well worth dancing. We loved this place! ##### David J. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ally J.

We didn’t know what to expect with a one year old- but Shell We Dance had us covered! From a nice jogger stroller to beach toys! We enjoyed nightly sunset walks on the beach, which was maybe a 2 minute walk from the house. Pine Ave, Rod n Reel pier, the city pier and park were all within walking distance. We rented a golf cart but barely used it! The house was very clean. I felt comfortable with our baby exploring. We felt very safe which is always at the top of my list. —the back of the house is on a small, dead end alley so it was very private. Goose and Dan, the property managers, were amazing. We had trouble getting in when we first arrived and they were there within 2 minutes! As mentioned- the kitchen is small. But we cooked/prepared many meals there without an issue. It’s a very well equipped kitchen. You won’t regret booking this place! ##### Ally J. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer C. Aug 31, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Pool, House Needs Updates Great location, pool, and beach access! Pool perfect for small children. Property manager was quick to reply (especially when we found black mold in the fridge door). However, the house itself needs some work. The main, very old shower’s tile was clearly painted and is peeling. There are paint drips, peeling paint, and dings in nearly every room. The kitchen has missing tiles on the wall by the stove and cabinets don’t close properly/look sad and old. The second bathroom has an air conditioning unit by the toilet, making it hard to sit to use the restroom. It also looks gross inside, so we’d always turn it down/off when we bathed the children. There was no plug for the bath, so we had to shove a washcloth in. The listing should be more clear that the one bedroom is impossible to close off, especially because the track “wall” doesn’t close easily. We were disappointed in the overall state of the home given the high reviews and price. ##### Jennifer C.

We stayed at the property for 5 nights and it was an amazing experience. The property is very charming. It is cute with an old world feel. “Shell we Dance” is very close to Bean Point beach which has the best sunsets on the island. We saw a manatee, dolphins, and I was lucky enough to see a stingray jump out of the water. The property is also very close to Rod and Reel pier which is a great spot to watch the sunrise. It is very close to Pine street which has shopping and restaurants and also very close to the Anna Maria pier with more shopping and restaurants. The property has several bikes which we rode everywhere. I went back and forth about renting a golf cart and was happy we didn’t. The bikes were all we needed and when we took the car places, it was nice to be in air conditioning. July in Florida is hot! Ice cream at Two Scoops was a daily outing and we discovered they had a very reasonable breakfast offerings. Location wise, you can’t go wrong! The layout of the home was comfortable but there was only 3 of us on this trip. If you enjoy cooking on holiday instead of going out to eat, the kitchen may disappoint you. It is small. We didn’t cook one meal, so it wasn’t an issue for us. The refrigerator was nice and cold. The outside pool area was gorgeous with mature plants and trees. It was quiet, serene, and very relaxing. There was also a table and plenty of other seating outside. The pool was warm and welcoming. We can’t wait to come back. ##### Christina T.

We had an amazing week at Don & Sally’s place. This is our 4th trip to AMI and Shell We Dance is by far the best place we have stayed. The decor is so chic & beachy, they thought of everything! Just a 5 min walk to beautiful Bean Point for a beach day or to catch the sunset. The backyard is a tropical oasis, the pool was perfect and the fenced yard is super private and allowed us to bring our pups. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Jen R.
