DISCOUNT OFFER! Rum Cove-Magical Tropical Oasis: Pool/Hot Tub, Golf Cart, Kayak

Welcome to the Rum Cove Experience!

Rum Cove DISCOUNT OFFER and Construction Disclaimer:

Thank you for checking out Rum Cove for your stay on our beautiful island. During the period of August 24, 2024 thru October 12, 2024 Rum Cove will be getting a sea wall upgrade. Construction will begin at 7:30am and finish at 4:30pm Monday thru Friday during that time period. Being that the construction will be outside the home on the side of the house away from entertainment areas we feel that there was no reason to close the home during this period. The area that they will be working on is on the east side of the home by the canal and will be off limits to all guests. There will be equipment running and workers coming and going throughout the day so expect construction noise. Additionally, there will most likely be equipment parked out front.

For the inconvenience this presents we are offering a significant discount over $3000 for your weekly stay during that time frame if you so choose to book with us. The discounted nightly rates are reflected on the calendar.

We appreciate your understanding and want to make sure that you are aware of the noise and slight inconvenience this may cause. Rum Cove still has so much to offer that we feel the construction should not cause you to have an unenjoyable stay.

Please reach out with any questions.

*********

This magical home is a one-of-a-kind oasis 🌴 on a one-of-a-kind island located right in the heart of Anna Maria! Rum Cove is placed perfectly within walking distance to all the prime entertainment spots! You will find restaurants and so many fun little shops to check out on historic Pine Avenue, cute places to grab a cup of java, donut or waffle and of course the many beach entrances are all just steps out your front door.
Although so much is an easy stroll away, a golf cart and bicycles are also provided for exploring the City of Anna Maria. 🚲

We believe that one of the most important parts of a rental home is comfort, and this home will not disappoint. Rum Cove, just recently (2020), upgraded to a new state-of-the-art cooling system. This system is equipped with a Space Pak Air Conditioning System for the entre home plus personalized climate control units for each individual bedroom. No more arguing over who wants to sleep cool or who wants it a bit warmer! It’s all at your control!

With a resort style feel and plenty of unique places to relax and have fun, it is impossible to feel crowded at Rum Cove. The upstairs entertainment room has a large 80" TV with surround sound for late night movies. Right outside the entertainment room you will see a shuffle board table designed for those intense games. It also has a den area downstairs great for games with the kids or just a place to read a good book. This home boasts five bedrooms with five king size beds and each bedroom has its own bathroom. The master suite, on the ground level, comes with a steam shower while the upper master suite is equipped with a sauna.

The kitchen is equipped with two Sub Zero refrigerators, two dishwashers, an ice maker, Wolf oven, and plenty of cooking tools for in-home entertaining. Just step outside the kitchen to the pool deck and find a large area perfect for grilling out your favorite burgers, brats or steaks. It comes complete with a large Weber grill, mini-fridge and prep sink. As we like to say...Grillin’ and chillin' is easy at Rum Cove! 🍔 If you’re the one chillin’ grab a seat and a glass and sit at the boat shaped bar to keep the cook company or grab a floaty and do some chillin’ in the waterfall rock formation pool. 💦At the end of the day it wouldn’t be complete without a soak in the hot tub which overlooks the pool, pure relaxation!

Worried about keeping up with your putting shot? No problem, Rum Cove is equipped with a putting green so your stroke won’t become rusty. For those with more of an adventurous spirit, just launch the provided paddle boards or kayak right off the floating dock that is located on the side of the house. 🐟🦈 You also may want to consider renting a boat since Rum Cove has a dock and boat lift located right out the back door on the canal that takes you directly into Tampa Bay within minutes. 😎

When the day is done, unwind on the upstairs patio that overlooks the pool area, turn on the fire pit, 🔥get comfy on the large sectional sofa and count the stars in the night sky.

When we say Rum Cove has it all. We really mean it! This magical home was designed to lower your heart rate and create lasting memories with family and friends.

Awesome House, great location.
This house exceeded our expectations! All the bedrooms/bathrooms are so comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The Property Managers, Lori &Dan communicated very well during the whole booking process. Dan met us at the house to go over all the electronics and answered all our question. We had a few issues that came up but were resolved very quickly! My entire family loved the house and especially enjoyed the beautiful pool and spa. The kiddie pool was perfect for the 2 & 3 year olds. The fishing dock and kayak was used everyday! Manatees were also spotted! We loved this house and will be back next year! Best family vacation ever!

The property is as nice as the photos make it look. The location is great - easy to walk to the beach and restaurants & stores - and the screened in area means virtually no mosquitos. We loved it.

Rum Cove
We had a tremendous time at Rum Cove. It provided a perfect place for our family to stay. It is close to the beach, great restaurants and shopping. My kids and grandkids loved the pool, shuffleboard table and media room. The kitchen and outdoor bar/grill are equipped with top tier appliances making it easy to cook whatever you want. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to stay on Anna Maria Island.

Great house
Super cute house. Minor issues were addressed promptly. Trolley stop within walking distance. Golf cart available for use. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. The upstairs deck was great for fires at night. Only suggestion is to put up hooks to hang bath towels in the downstairs bathroom.

Loved the House
5 couples. Loved the house. (You can read the other reviews for the great comments...all accurate). Great experience. Goose and Gander were very responsive. Would rent again. Loved separate HVAC controls in each bedroom. For those looking at houses the only drawback is that there really wasn't a large place to gather indoors to watch an evening movie or sports, etc. For us it wasn't a problem though. We spent our time outdoors between the house and pool. We watched NFL, MLB playoffs, etc. on the large screen TV outdoors.

Rum Cove was the perfect place to stay.
This house had everything we needed for our family. Plenty of fun right at the house, just like a resort. Spent lots of time in the swimming pool. Great location on the island for an easy walk, golf cart ride to the beach or to eat, paddle boards & kayak's, plus a boat dock for the pontoon we rented. We wouldn't want to stay anywhere else on Anna Maria Island other than Rum Cove!

Perfect week!
Rum Cove is awesome! Close to the beach and had everything we needed. It had enough beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare some dinners while we were there. Two separate refrigerators and an ice maker were a huge plus. Golf cart was great for taking all our chairs to the beach and ice cream trips at night. Goose was great. He checked in on Friday to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!!

Most Amazing Stay in Anna Maria at Rum Cove!
We stayed a week with our adult children. The property was amazing. We had one small issue (battery needed to be changed in a smoke alarm) but they handled it immediately. They stocked the house with all the essentials that you normally have to bring on your own (paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, hand soap at all sinks, etc). The location was perfectly located near Pine Street. Three washers and dryers allowed everyone to keep up on laundry throughout the week. The pool area was one of the best we’ve ever had, compared to other AMI properties. And the (air conditioned) restroom right off the pool was fantastic! We really enjoyed having individual AC units in each bedroom, in addition to central AC. No more complaints that some bedrooms were hot and some were cold. Our group has never stayed in the same property twice but we would definitely stay here again!!

Great getaway with friends
We had 3 families that stayed at Rum Cove with children from 5 to 10 in age. The kids loved the pool and whole outdoor experience. It was great to have 3 masters so each family had a good accommodation for the adults. The location can not be beat in terms of walking to the beach, stores, etc. The view of the canal is awesome and we found out on our last full days if you paddle out by the church you will frequently see 3 dolphins playing and catching fish. We got to experience this and it was one of the best parts of the trip. We cooked in almost every night because restaurants were packed so we appreciated the grill and oven. Overall we loved our experience. A few improvements/notes, a lot of the cabinets and one of the fridges were hard to close/open and we almost lost a full fridge of food because we didn't realize the bottom drawers were stuck and that caused the entire fridge to stop working, after that we were very careful to make sure all drawers were fully closed (the one in the kitchen.) Sound system doesn't work well. Lights are frustrating (esp. for the kids.) We noticed a lot of knobs would also just pop off cabinets/sinks. We would definitely return as the pros GREATLY outweigh any improvements!

Spring Break 2023 - Unbelievable Stay!
Rum Cove was a dream for our family and the two other families that stayed with us. The house was well kept and came with everything you need to enjoy your beach vacation on the Island (Pool, hot tub, firepit, dock to fish from, bikes, 6-person golf cart, putting green, kayak, paddle boards, all the beach towels and chairs you need, shuffle board, etc.). The location was perfect to walk to all the shops, restaurants, and beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful location, spacious house, and amenities. Worked well for our three generation family of 10. Beautiful pool area and great to have separate bedrooms and bathrooms for our large group. Very helpful to have the golf cart, beach items, bikes, kayaks etc without having to rent separately. Would not hesitate to return.
