Perfect Beach Cottage
The cottage we stayed in was awesome. Clean with all new appliances. The backyard area and pool was perfect for us and our dog. Very short walk to the beach. Lizzie Lu’s Island Retreat did a magnificent job.

Nice get a away
This was exactly what we needed. We haven’t taken a vacation in several years. It was quiet, so close to the beach, clean and close to the things we needed. Everyone we had interaction with through this property were very professional and nice. The small pool in the back yard was perfect for our day of recovery from Universal Studios. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay here.

The cottage, the company, everything was absolutely perfect and as advertised! I travel alone with my two collies and they welcomed me and my dogs with care. The cottage was like new and beautifully decorated and very clean, stocked with everything that was needed! I highly recommend a stay with Lizzie Lu's Island Retreat, all of their homes look incredible!

Excellent location/ excellent duplex
The duplex was well stocked with new utensils/ kitchenware, it was meticulously clean, comfortable beds/linens, lovely landscaping. Highly recommend renting the bikes-- they were awesome- not your typical rental bikes. Helmets and locks provided. We've stayed ON the beach before and had longer walks to the beach, it was less than a block away. Very nice for a small family with young children. The little pool in the back is very small, but perfect for young kids and they need very little supervision while in it, its right off the kitchen so you can keep an eye on them while cooking by just leaving the door open. We had a fabulous stay. Property managers were attentive to every need. Can't say enough about this lovely property. For the cost, can't beat it!!

Perfect for a Couple!
My husband and I stayed here for a week in October. This place had everything we needed and was the perfect space for the two of us. The proximity to the beach was good- about 1 1/2 block walk. We were so impressed with our accommodations we have already booked one of Lizzie Lu’s bigger houses for next year for a group of 8 adults!

This cottage was perfect for a family of four!
Great location! Close to a the beach access and a pretty quiet section of Holmes beach. The house was awesome. Well stocked with everything you need to enjoy the beach. The cottage has quality furnishings that are built to last. The pool was a big plus for our two young kids. We can’t wait to come back!

Perfection!
Our stay at Yellowfin was fantastic!!!! The cottage was impeccably clean (LOVE THAT!), bed was a dream to sleep in and the location was ideal. Loved having our own little pool and the beach around the corner. Easy check in and check out process - it was a breeze. My only recommendation for improvement would be to upgrade to a smart TV so renters can access their personal accounts to view a movie or two in the evenings before retiring. Would definitely return as it was the most relaxing week of vacation that I've ever experienced.

We enjoyed our stay here on Anna Maria Island over Christmas. The house was in a lovely neighbourhood and only a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach. The house was nicely decorated and very clean. Ben and Keren were a pleasure to deal with.

Wunderschönes Cottage, strandnah
Perfekt eingerichtetes Ferienhaus für vier Personen. Es ist alles vorhanden, Waschmaschine, Trockner, Geschirrspüler usw. inklusive Verbrauchsmaterial dafür. Alles gepflegt und liebevoll eingerichtet. Beheizter kleiner Pool, Liegen und Sitzgelegenheiten draußen. Kleiner Bollerwagen mit allem, was man für den Strand braucht steht bereit. Der Weg zum Strand ist ein Katzensprung und man ist an einem herrlichen Strand. Die Umgebung ist ruhig, Möglichkeiten zum Essen gehen sind vorhanden. Ein toller Ort um für einen Badeurlaub und zum Entspannen.
