Vacation Rental Description

The Barefoot Cottage island home on Anna Maria Island - one hour  
south of Tampa and just 35 minutes north of Sarasota - is one of the  
gulf’s premier rentals located two blocks from the white sand beaches  
and crystal blue waters of the gulf, island shops, boutiques and  
beach side restaurants. 
 
"We loved staying at Barefoot Cottage. The accomodations were  
perfect, just steps to the beach and all the activities, yet peaceful  
and away from it all!"  Tom and Maria - Long Island, NY 
 
With beautiful gulf waters only two blocks away, make sure you bring  
your swimming suit and plenty of sunscreen! You won’t believe the  
soft, white, clean sand and blue waters for miles and miles. Your  
daily beach activities can include collecting a wide variety of  
shells, viewing the protected turtle's nests, watching dolphins swim  
in the Gulf, seeing the beautiful sunset as well as sunning,  
swimming, sailing, boating, parasailing, jet skiing and much more.  
 
"The sunsets were amazing and the most beautiful I have ever seen. It  
is the locals and vacationers' ritual to head to the beach each night  
and count until the sun sets in the horizon. Each days' setting is a  
totally different experience as the tides, wind and weather changes."  
John and Maria - Effingham, Illinois
