About this property

Cute & cozy getaway at north end of Anna Maria Island. 5-min walk to the beach!

Located at the quiet North end of Anna Maria Island, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath villa is a short walk to beautiful white sand beaches at Bean Point. The Rod-N-Reel Pier is right around the corner where you can enjoy a morning cup of coffee, evening cocktail, or simply watch the dolphins play. Visit a variety of shops and restaurants along Pine Avenue in downtown Anna Maria less than a mile from the villa. Enjoy the Gulf breezes from the screened lanai or patio area. Living room has a leather couch and armchair. The bedrooms have a King bed and 2 twin beds. Amenities include free wireless internet, cable TV, Roku, telephone, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, gas grill, Mr. Coffee, and Keurig. Beach gear includes chairs, towels, beach wagon, umbrellas, and cooler. Occupancy limited to 4 persons, including children.

We offer flexible check-ins and check-outs throughout the year, which makes it easier for you to book flights and get the best prices on your flights. We're close to 3 airports: Tampa International (56 mi./90 min drive), Sarasota International (20 mi/45 min drive), and St. Petersburg/Clearwater International (47 mi/75 min drive).

See our adjoining property "Gladiolus Hideaway" HomeAway listing #4625973.

1. The unit is "turn-key" furnished. Towels & bed linens are included.

2. A beach wagon to haul your gear to the beach is provided. Umbrellas, folding chairs, beach towels, and beach toys too.

3. Enjoy outdoor cooking on the gas grill.

4. Relax or dine on the screened porch with table and chairs or on the patio under the umbrella.

5. Master bedroom has a King size bed & the second bedroom has 2 twins.

6. Bathroom has tub and shower.

7. There's also an outdoor shower spout for rinsing off after the beach.

8. The landline phone provides free local and long distance calling within the US and Canada.

9. Free high speed wireless internet.

10. TVs with Cable channels are located in the living room and master bedroom. There is a DVD player and Roku box in living room. Bring your Netflix or Amazon log-in information and stream all your favorite shows!

11. Games, books and puzzles for rainy days.

12. Sectional sofa and recliner make the living room a comfortable spot for reading or watching TV.

13. Ceiling fans in living room and both bedrooms.

14. Laundry room is complete with full size washer & dryer. Iron and ironing board provided.

15. We provide limited "starter supplies" including soap, a roll of toilet paper and a roll of paper towels. We keep a variety of cleaning supplies on hand, but we can't guarantee that these supplies will be replaced between guests. We do our best!

16. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, pots & pans, utensils, microwave, Mr. Coffee 8-cup drip coffee maker, Keurig coffee maker, and dishwasher.

17. Park right in front of the cottage. Room for 2 vehicles (no RVs, trailers, or boats).

18. This property is a duplex with "back-to-back" entrances, not "side-by-side". You have your own private parking area, patio, and entrance.

19. We are located 6 houses from the beach access point at the north end of Gladiolus St. From there it's a short walk down a path between two homes to the beach. In recent years there has been an accretion of sand at Bean Point, so it's another short walk from the end of the path down to the water. All in all, about 5 minutes. A second beach access point at the end of N. Bay Blvd. (one street over) takes you over a wooden walkway right to the beach on the bay side of Bean Point.

20. We have a Property Manager on call in case of emergencies or maintenance problems. There is no charge to you for this extra peace of mind!

21. We use a cleaning service between guests and they do a great job. If you would like to hire them during your stay, please contact us or the Property Manager.

❗ Flexible Check-in and checkout days --with some exceptions for holidays and certain times of the year—and never on Sundays.

Great location with easy access to bean point (best beach on Anna Maria), pine street restaurants/shops. The beds and pillows are SO comfortable! The house is well stocked with kitchen supplies, beach gear, and sand toys. We would definitely rebook here when we visit next year.

Great Island and Great Location
This house was perfectly located within a 5-minute walk to Bean Point and the beach and was a quick 15-minute walk to Pine Street for shopping and eating. The neighborhood is quiet and very safe. The house was just what we needed - 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom...very comfortable and relaxing. Parking was easy and plenty beach gear on hand.

North End Serenity
Perfect stay for a couple or small family. Close enough to the beach and local shops/restaurants. We choose to drive our rental down the road a bit and enter the beach from one of the local access points. Very quiet and peaceful on this end of the island. Super clean and well maintained we had everything we needed.

Perfect Location for quiet”er” retreat
Had a couple of lovely days one block from the beach. This area, at the northern tip, is quieter than other parts of the island. Beaches are beautiful. A nice walk to the northern “downtown”. Exactly what we were looking for.

Cute Home, Lovely Location
The house was exactly as described and in a perfect location just over a block from Bean Point Beach Access. The beach access trail adds about a block extra of walking before you get to the beach itself, but the trail is partially shaded by trees. The house is also well stocked with home necessities. All appliances worked well. Some of the items in the home are a bit older--such as the washer, beach cart, and some kitchen pans--but each worked well for us and caused no problems. The house was also spectacularly clean, which is hard to do in a beach town! We would definitely stay here again as the location and value for the cost exceeded our expectation.

Great Property / Overall Big Let Down
We rent quite a bit and this property is really great... However it's managed by a third party and their communication is rude or non-existent. Usually we don't need to talk to anyone but this time we did. We sent a note before checking in and the response was confusing and then while there we wanted to see if we could find a plug and no response back ever. There were no bowls for food, etc. I saw all the previous reviews on this place and something must have changed b/c it really is a cool little place on a wonderful area. Too bad the customer service side was such a bummer - hope they fix it.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Miller

Host profile image
We grew up in Maryland, went to high school together and have been married since college. We've lived in Florida for 30 years. We are now retired and enjoy traveling in our RV with our kitty!

Why they chose this property

We bought the property in 1991. It was our first Florida home! We lived in the front "A" side of the duplex while renting the back "B" side to an annual tenant. We moved to the Tampa Bay area for work-related reasons, but kept the property so we could continue visiting the Island and renting to others. We've now converted both sides to vacation rental units. We take pride in our property and aim to provide our guests with everything they need for a comfortable and memorable stay!

What makes this property unique

Our place is a short walk to the beach at the beautiful north end of Anna Maria Island. You will enjoy strolls on the beach, dips in the Gulf and gorgeous sunsets! We also love walking out to the Rod N' Reel pier for breakfast or lunch. We know you will fall in love with Anna Maria just as we did!
