Come enjoy a large family and friends gathering at this spacious luxury home just a few minutes stroll to the beach. One of the larger homes on the island, with 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms and 3400 sq. ft, this home has plenty of room for large groups to be together and not feel overcrowded. It has a combination of beautiful furnishings, tile and hardwood floors, crown moldings, granite countertops and all the amenities one could desire for their tropical island vacation.

Situated on a unique small lake on the island, this location offers something for everyone. There is a heated pool with swim up tiki hut and a spa. There are 3 separate balcony areas all with great views of everything from the pool and lake to the Gulf water.
The main balcony off the living area is oversized and will be perfect for that large family meal outdoors overlooking the pool and lake.

The garage is spacious and can easily hold 2 cars. There is parking for 3-4 additional cars outside. There is a ping-pong table for the kids and adults to enjoy. The covered pool lanai offers a bar which includes stools, sink, refrigerator, a smart TV and a large farm table with benches- the perfect 'hang out' vacation spot! Come and enjoy all the luxury tropical island vacation home has to offer.

The open concept living area flows seamlessly into the kitchen, dining and hall areas. It features a custom entertainment center on the main wall with a large smart TV and shelves full of books and movies for your enjoyment. A spacious sectional and additional chairs offer plenty of seating for all.

A spacious third level accommodates a bonus kids lounge with convertible sofa and a chair, a smart TV, a DVD player and an XBox. The upstairs lounge leads to a large balcony with breathtaking views of Clark Lake and the Gulf in the distance.

The spacious gourmet kitchen is fully stocked with all needed accessories, including pots and cooking utensils. The kitchen island offers ample seating for seven, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage in the cabinets to satisfy the most discriminating cook. Two large dining tables provide plenty of seating for a large party.

The main level has a master suite with king size bed, walk-in closet and a large private balcony. There is also a smart TV and a DVD player.

The second level has 5 bedrooms. The 2nd master suite and two more bedrooms have king beds. The 5th bedroom has a set of double beds and the 6th bedroom has 2 twin beds.

There also is a queen size convertible sofa located in the bonus kids lounge area on the 3rd level.

With the exception of the twin bedroom, all bedrooms have smart TVs. The upstairs lounge has a smart TV, a DVD player and Xbox station with several installed games.

There are 4.5 bathrooms.

There is a half bath on the main level next to the living room.

All the other bathrooms are en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom, with two bedrooms sharing a large bathroom in a Jack-and-Jill style set up. The main level master bath has a spacious shower, while the upstairs master bath has a soaking tub in addition to a shower of the same size.

All bathrooms are outfitted with tile, granite countertops, beautiful fixtures and fine linens. There are also hotel style bath amenities in each bathroom including soaps, shampoo, conditioner, and 2 rolls of bathroom tissue.

The outside area, surrounded by a privacy fence and lush landscaping, has plenty of space for a large group to hang out and relax at a pool party. There is a spacious pool deck with plenty of lounge chairs and a large farmhouse table with benches under the poolside lanai. The outdoor bar features granite countertops, a smart TV, Weber grill, sink, refrigerator and bar stools. Around the corner, an outdoor shower with hot/cold water provides a convenient way to rinse off after the beach or pool.

There are two large balconies providing outstanding views of the lake, the island as well as views of the Gulf of Mexico waters. An oversized deck off the main living area with a huge farmhouse table and benches offers a wonderful setting for alfresco meals. It overlooks the pool and has a beautiful view of the lake.

The focal point of the yard is a beautiful, heated tropical pool with a waterfall, spa and a swim-up Tiki Bar. The pool also features several sitting areas and a shallow area for younger kids.

**Please note! Pool heater in our home is locked for your safety and controls must not be tampered with as they are monitored by the pool company. The pool temperature is set 84 to 91 degrees. Please note, if cold days or nights occur water temperatures will drop and may stay cooler longer. Pool heaters will not operate and will automatically shut down if outside temperatures get too cold (below 50). While we take every precaution to ensure that pool is heated as specified, weather conditions may affect the temperature of the pool. Nothing can be done about this issue. The spa attached to the pool is NOT a hot tub. The temperature of the spa is the same as that of the pool but it can be temporarily increased to 104 degrees. Guests should not expect hot tub like temperatures for the spa. In the event of pool equipment malfunctions during your stay, we will expedite repairs as quickly as possible. It may be necessary to close the swimming pool for maintenance purposes. No refund or rent adjustment will be made for circumstances beyond our control, malfunctions or loss of use of equipment or amenities. The pool is serviced 2x a week.

Amazing July 4th Week
This house was just as listed. Large open kitchen, large bedrooms, well stocked all around. Excellent size and spacious for our 2 families (total of 10 people). The pool was excellent and it being shaded was key after some full sun hours on the beach each day. Owner was excellent to communicate with throughout the whole process. Very responsive and super helpful and accommodating! The location was perfect with the beach access at the end of the street. First trip to AMI and we will definitely come again for sure!

Beautiful beach home!
We were a family of 11 and totally enjoyed our stay here. The house is beautiful! Well maintained and clean. Plenty of towels, soaps and other household item. The pool and outside area is magnificent. The kitchen is well equipped. The host responded to our questions quickly. We gave it a 5 out of 5 stars for everything except location only because our personal Preference is to be a little closer to the beach.

Everything You Need
Emerald Seas is a gorgeous luxury accommodation and is well- stocked with everything you could possibly imagine. So many small details- like extra hooks in every bathroom; 2 ice makers in the fridge; plenty of glasses, plates, silverware, kitchen towels, pots and pans, etc for a large group; and beach and pool equipment. There were also many baby items that we noticed, even though we did not need to use them. Our family had a fabulous stay here!

Family Vacation!
We had a lovely family vacation. Would have liked a little warmer weather but the pool was heated so the kids didn’t care. We rented a wagon to pull the toddlers to the beach. If you have little ones, would recommend renting a wagon to take them and the beach toys to the beach. The beach was beautiful and the kids loved building sand castles. The location and the house were just amazing! Anna Maria Island is lovely! Would highly recommend for a family vacation. Had a great time and would come back.

BEST FAMILY BEACH VACATION!!!
Everything about this property was an amazing fit for our family. The house, the location to the beach and the amenities that were included were more than we could ask for. We had eight adults and three children in our group and everyone had their own space. The house was laid out great, well equipped and very clean. We cooked, grilled, had pool time daily and had everything we needed for the beach right there at the house. AMI is the perfect place for families and we would absolutely stay in this house again. Good mattresses too. Not disappointed with anything and the pictures were an accurate representation of what you get. Worth every penny for the lifetime of memories that were made here! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Beautiful home and location
House was so spacious and stocked with everything needed.. kitchen stuff, towels, blankets, and beach stuff! Very clean and was perfect for a large group. Pool was really nice. Only complaint would be lack of sun by the pool, but it’s perfect for kids and when you want a lot of sun just head to the beach!!! Hoping to head back and would totally rebook same home if available.

This is a great property. We had several families and there was enough space for everyone. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the island. Close walk to the beach. We rented a golf cart so it was easy to get around. We Loved the pool area with the bar, large table and lounge chairs. The garage area also has a ping pong table and a foosball table which was enjoyed by the kids. Would definitely stay at this house/resort again.

Wonderful Family Vacation
We stayed a week at Anna’s home on Anna Maria Island with our children and grandchildren. It was a wonderful week and Anna’s home was the perfect place to be. The home is beautiful with many amenities. The kitchen is very well-equipped with everything we needed and the outdoor grilling area was an added plus. The pool and entire outdoor area were fabulous and our grandchildren hardly wanted to leave the pool to go to the beach. It was a short walk to the beach and everything we needed for the beach was available at the home. This is a very well-kept, lovely place to stay with plenty of room for everyone. Any questions I had were promptly answered by Anna. Much attention and detail have gone into making this a perfect vacation home.

Perfect Location!
My family of 9 (6 adults, 3 kids) came for a family Vacation and absolutely LOVED IT! The house was amazing, had everything fully stocked that we needed, tons of pool and beach toys, and everything you need for the beach! The location of the house was perfect! Directly in the middle of the island and close to everything, especially the beach. Only 2 blocks away about a 5 minute walk!!! The only down fall is the time of year we came the pool didn’t get much sun. However, it didn’t bother us because the beach was so close and we loved it there! Would highly recommend this house to stay at! We would love to come back!!

Amazing stay! 💕
This was a perfect vacation & we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay! There were all the comforts needed from extra blankets to towels. We appreciated all the cookware & dishes since we ate in most of the time. The beds are all super comfy and there was plenty of space for our group. We appreciated the short walk to the sandy beach & beach chairs to watch the sunset. Anna was very patient with me & was always quick to respond to my questions.

Very clean home and exactly as advertised
This was probably my favorite rental ever for a family vacation. 7 adults, and infant and 2 kids under 7. The home was very clean and we even had an extra room that we didn’t use. All rooms had comfortable beds, well air conditioned and the home was very clean. We had a great time and spent much of our time on the beaches, in the pool and visiting local shops and restaurants. We rented 2 golf carts to get around which made it very convenient. The pool area is very secluded and we never heard or saw our neighbors. Anna was very easy to communicate with and was very responsive. So many things to do! Some of our favorite excursions were a Fishing charter, Mote Aquarium, Dolphin sunset cruise, St. Armands Square, and local restaurants. We all hated to leave and can’t wait to come back!!!

About the host

Hosted by Anna Prokop

Host profile image
Originally from Poland, we moved to Bradenton/Sarasota area in 2013 after living in Maryland's Washington DC suburbs for over 25 years. We have 2 children and have discovered Anna Maria Island several years ago when coming to Florida for our annual amusement parks trips. After many visits to the Island we decided to move to the area permanently. We bought a farm in Myakka City which is next to Bradenton and Sarasota and moved there in the Summer of 2013.

Why they chose this property

We found this house in 2011 as it was being built. We were attracted by two things: its size and comfort as it's much bigger than most 6 bedroom houses on the Island and by its unique Clark Lake location. Many people on the island don't even know that this lake exists because it is not readily visible from the street. The lake offers wonderful views and an opportunity to observe wildlife that frequents its waters. For instance, there is a gray heron that visits the yard each morning. It is very neat to watch it while eating breakfast.

What makes this property unique

Sarasota-Bradenton Florida, also known as the “culture coast,” is a melting pot of artists, executives, philanthropists, and beach-lovers from all over the world. The sugar-white sands and vast expanses of warm, shallow, aqua-blue waters draw people from the other side of the world to the center of the state. Though Sarasota-Bradenton is part of the greater Tampa-St. Petersburg metropolitan area, it has a style that is distinctly all its own, and is separated by the natural boundary of Tampa Bay. The well recognized Sunshine Skyway Bridge links Sarasota-Bradenton with its big brother to the north.

Over 650,000 residents call Sarasota-Bradenton their home, in organic communities like Northwest Bradenton, to planned communities like Lakewood Ranch and Palmer Ranch to the south. Longboat Key is host to one of the wealthiest zip codes in the country. Siesta Key is known for its beautiful beaches and nightlife, where Anna Maria Island is a virtual melting pot of all types of people. If sports are your passion, the area host spring training baseball teams, offers endless water sports, fishing and boating, and has one of the highest saturation of golf courses in the country.
