About this property

Steps from the beach!

This beautifully newly renovated Anna Maria Island bungalow is COVID compliant, super clean and very comfortable. With an open, split floor plan, it has 2 king bedrooms, each with private baths and is only 3 houses from FEET IN THE SAND! Half way between the amazing white sand beach and the bay and Pier. Only 1 block over is Historic Bridge Street with all of the cool restaurants, mini golf, shops and bars with live music. Once here, you never need to drive. Just leave your car in the driveway (it can fit up to 4 cars). Everything is within a block walking distance! If you want to be active, there is plenty to do! Take a boat ride to see dolphins, parasail on the gulf, go fishing off the Pier, play a round of mini golf or just relax at our beautiful white sand beach. Beach chairs, umbrellas and towels are available for your use. When you're not out and about, enjoy the private, shaded backyard with a brand new heated/cooled swimming POOL, grill, chaise loungers and a dining table, chairs and shade umbrella. There is nothing like Anna Maria!! Come make lasting memories!

Perfect Hideaway

Our family absolutely loved our stay at the house! It was a very easy walk to all of the restaurants and fun - Bridge Street is one street over! The beach was a quick walk and the provided chairs and umbrellas meant less that we had to purchase or bring with us! I think my kids spend the entire vacation in the pool though, ha! The house was very clean and perfect - we will definitely be visiting again!

Wow - what a great place right in the middle of everything

This place is lovely. The description on the website does not do it justice. There are so many little things that make your stay so much better that aren't even listed or mentioned. Check-in - you get an email / text a day before explaining the process, in summary you get a code which unlocks a keysafe to let you in. You keep the key with you for your stay then pop it back in the keysafe when you leave. You also get some specific info to assist you with the 'house rules'. This is a lovely house and some people may not have treated this place as they should do. It belongs to Laura and Kevin who allow others to use it, they provide a giudebook in the kitchen that gives more details about everything in the house and surrounding area. Once inside there are aircon in the lounge, 2 bedrooms and the rear area, 4 in total to keep you cool. The property is very well decorated with a lovely beach/sea vibe to relax you into you holiday. Nothing is done on the cheap, its all quality stuff, to help your stay. Little touches like, lots of different types of glasses, plastic drinks for the yard/pool area and even frosted glasses in the freezer (which is huge with water/ice/crush dispenser). Front bedroom is directly en-suite and the rear room has a lovely bathroom directly opposite and very private. Laundry room has two huge new units and the pool/yard is amazing, lots of sun and shade at same time. Pool and garden lights make this a great area. Located right in heart of AMI, awesome!

Unicorn Property

Unicorn property for a family of 4! Located in the perfect AMI location. Each morning we could go left or right out of the house and walk towards amazing views/ activities. The beach, the pier, restaurants on the water, mini golf, donut and coffee shop were a few of our favorites. The backyard is magical - provided our kids with hours of entertainment and such beautiful landscaping. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we walked away with so many core memories for our family. Highly recommend this property.

Great location, great house!

My wife and I brought our 4-month old on his first vacation here and had a really enjoyable stay. Perfect location, right down the street from beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. Little noise from the nearby bar one evening when they had live music but was quiet by 9pm or so. The house is cozy, clean, and comfortable and has basically everything you might need. The backyard is a nice bonus and fairly private with the tree cover, and the heated pool is great on cooler evenings. The island is idyllic and definitely worth the trip! The host Laura was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay again!

Relaxing and fun for the whole family

The property was nice with a split bedroom layout. Great appliances throughout. They do have the separate air conditioners in each area which do an admirable job of keeping the place cool, it just takes a bit to kick in once you arrive and turn them down. Truly the best feature, especially in August was the cooled pool. Even when the ocean was warm, the pool was refreshing and we spent a ton of time outside. The location is also about a 2 min walk to the beach and a 5 min walk to Bridge St and the pier. It was a great time of family bonding!

Great location

The location was amazing! One street over from lots of restaurants and shops. The pool at the house was a plus! The only negative thing I can say was we had no A/C in the living room/kitchen for our entire trip. The owners did try to have it fixed and gave us a little money back for the inconvenience. However it was HOT. But these things are unforeseen. Otherwise it was a great trip.

Lovely little house close to beach

My family enjoyed our stay. There was an issue with the bed where the slats came out of the frame, but Laura helped get it addressed quickly (it was Father’s Day weekend so she arranged for someone to come Monday morning - the handyman fixed it to where it shouldn’t be an issue for anyone moving forward). The owners were very available, friendly and responsive. The yard and pool were the highlight of the trip - we used the pool more than the beach! The house location is fantastic! Close to Bridge St. where all of the restaurants are and mini golf (we went twice). Seriously, you can’t beat the location of this lovely little house! Thank you for having us!
