One week stay on Anna Maria Island (FL) at Simplicity Cottage

One week stay at Simplicity Cottage, Anna Maria, FL.
 
Anna Maria is an island off the west coast of Florida. It is 7 miles long and 1/2 mile wide. Simplicity Cottage, in the northern-most town on the island, is located midway between gulf and bay on a quiet cul de sac in a residential neighborhood.
 
The house is 3 blocks to the sugar sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and has the most beautiful sunsets you have ever seen. The beaches are wide and uncrowded, and the gulf is Caribbean blue and so clear.  A free shuttle bus runs around the island and the "downtown" of Anna Maria which is just a few blocks long and has been given environmental awards for its green initiatives. Anna Maria has a 3 story height limit which keeps it uncrowded. The island looks like old Florida with no high rises and no chain stores.  

The cul de sac location of Simplicity Cottage guarantees a quiet and very protected retreat, with a large private salt water pool in the backyard and a new 20 foot long dock in the canal.  Fishing gear & a kayak are supplied for your recreational enjoyment. And 2 adult bikes and 2 for kids. Beach chairs and an umbrella and sand and pool toys are also provided. But best of all may be sitting on the dock and watching the fish jump and observing the visiting birds. Three come regularly--a blue heron, a night heron and an egret. We call them Sherlock, Watson and Moriarity. 

The house has 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a living room, kitchen and traditional Florida room overlooking the pool, the dock and canal. A screened porch adjoins the dining area and is perfect for eating in a shady spot after coming out of the pool.

The time of the winner's stay is by mutual agreement and subject to availability. Most often available in May, from August 15 to December 15 and sometimes at other times. Arranged by mutual agreement.

4-Nights Puerto Rico stay at the English Rose B&B

The English Rose is a secluded boutique hotel located in the beautiful surf town of Rincon, Puerto Rico. Featuring stunning ocean views from each balcony, an infinity pool, and an award-winning breakfast restaurant, The English Rose delights visitors seeking a private tropical escape.
 
Recent Reviews:
 
"I've stayed at Airbnb's and hotels all over the world, and my stay at the English Rose was one of the best I've ever had. Waking up to that pool and view was amazing! The food at the restaurant was great. There are only 5 rooms in the entire building, so at times it feels like you have the entire place to yourself. Wifi was fast enough for me to work. Would definitely recommend to anyone and I hope to come back soon!" - Alexandra (Oct 2021)
 
"This place is so amazing, we decided to stay an extra night! It is a bit of a hike uphill, but don’t be scared. It’s a breathtaking view." - Vanessa (Oct 2021)
 
"An incredibly perfect place to stay. Pool is gorgeous, view is sublime, room is exactly what we wanted." - Jessi (Oct 2021)

Marc Chagall Etching Reproduction

Marc Chagall was known as an early modernist. He was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints. Between 1931 and 1934 he worked "obsessively" on illustrating the Bible, even going to Amsterdam in order to carefully study the biblical paintings of Rembrandt and El Greco. He returned to France and by the next year had completed 32 out of the total of 105 plates. By 1939, at the beginning of World War II, he had finished 66. When the series was completed in 1956, it was published by Edition Tériade and acclaimed as "monumental" and,...”full of divine inspiration, which retrace the legendary destiny and the epic history of Israel to Genesis to the Prophets, through the  Patriarchs and the Heroes. Each picture becomes one with the event, informing the text with a solemn intimacy unknown since Rembrandt.”
