About this property

OPEN for booking after Helene & Milton! for 2025 limited dates available NOW!!

Welcome to Castaway Cove, this beautiful residence is a Bean Point gem, a stunning 4 bedroom property and 2.5 bathroom on the exclusive Northern end of Anna Maria Island! Hide away from the world, relax and soak up the sun in the private backyard with heated pool and lush tropical landscaping.

The downstairs game room provides an excellent 8ft Pool Table and Air Hockey table, perfect for adults and kids, or enjoy either of the 2 Smart HD TV's (internet only). Want to work on your beach body during your stay? Make use of the Bow-flex weights & treadmill in the Castaway Cove gym or stretch out your back on the inversion table! Have a refreshing outdoor hot or cold outdoor shower after the workout.

We have 2 Adult Bikes, 2 Kids Bikes + one small Bike, all for you to use around the island at your leisure.

Get the best of both worlds in a gorgeous home with fantastic amenities and a great location with the pristine white sandy beaches of Bean Point just a short 2 minute walk away! Three houses to the beach. Other fantastic local spots to visit are the renowned Rod and Reel Pier and Restaurant located just a brief 4 minute walk away, or the beautiful, newly renovated Anna Maria Pier and the popular Pine Avenue showcasing local boutiques and restaurants and so much more!

The sleeping arrangements include a King-sized bed in the Master bedroom, 2 Queen sized beds on the upper floor and a set of bunk beds-comfortably accommodating a group of 8.

Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, with new appliances in 2023, ideal for making a home cooked meal with the fresh catch of the day or simply indulge in the local cuisine, there are many fantastic restaurants or home delivery to choose from! Our Bull Outdoor Kitchen is down by the pool to make the best BBQ in town, recently added our new pool bar with refrigerator to keep all those drinks ice cold!

For your convenience, Wi-Fi internet, a stereo, DVD player and a TV in each bedroom is provided-although you will probably spend most of your time pool-side or catching the sun on the beach-the choice is up to you, you are on vacation after all!

**Please keep in mind if the elevator becomes inoperable due to any reason, the stairs will be the only form of transportation to and from your unit**

Baby care facilities include a high chair, a stair gate, 2 pack 'n' plays and a sun tent for the beach. There is also a large trunk of toys by the pool.

Loved our stay

Check in was easy, house was spacious and very clean. The master bath has a large walk-in shower and nice bathtub. The pool was heated and we were thankful for that since it was in the low 70s while we were there. Just a block away from Bean Point! Would definitely stay again!

Idyllic vacation home for families

We have stayed on Anna Maria yearly for the past 6 years and this house has truly been on of the most family friendly. There was plenty of space for all to sleep. The game room kept everyone in good spirits rain or shine or wind. It was such an easy walk out to the beach. This was the best stocked property I have stayed with tissues. Toiletries, a welcome basket, toys, bikes, beach and pool toys! We had a wonderful time.

Amazing stay in Anna Maria Island

We had a wonderful stay. The house offers every comfort and is absolutely gorgeous, with thoughtful details that enhance both convenience and aesthetics. The kids loved the playroom with games, the pool was heated, and there was a beautiful outdoor seating area. It’s a place we’d love to return to again and again—more than just a house, it truly feels like a home.

Excellent Location

We just got back from a long weekend stay and had the best time. The home is lovely with a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of towels and beach gear. There is a dual coffee maker so you can bring your own Keurig pods or brew regular pots. There are 3 stories with the master bedroom and twin kids room on the second floor and other bedrooms ln the third floor. We did not use the elevator but it’s nice to have the option if anyone struggles with stairs. The location was very close and walkable to the beach and only 0.7 miles from Pine St shops and restaurants. Overall the home is in good shape and we would stay again.

Best Thanksgiving ever in a pristine home in a fabulous location

Thanksgiving vacation to remember! The owners did an incredible job to fix their home after being hit by two recent hurricanes. The house was outstanding as the decor was peachy beautiful and house inviting with its well appointed bedrooms and great open concept living area on the 2nd floor. We had the best Thanksgiving dinner cooked in a gourmet kitchen! Peaceful mornings with coffee on the quiet and beautiful 2nd (main) floor deck listening to the ocean. Beach walk was one block to Bean Point where we had peaceful sunny days and the most gorgeous sunsets. The outdoor shower was handy for those sandy feet. A bonus was the elevator which was a godsend for bringing our packed car full of groceries and Thanksgiving fixing as well as during our departure. Perfect for two or three couples or a family! Highly recommended. 5 stars and will be back! Huge gratitude to the owners - Simon and Karen - who also answered all my questions in a timely manner. Thank you!

Amazing weekend at the beach in Anna Maria Island

We came to check this island because it was recommended to us and it was as good as described. The house was very clean and comfortable and Simon and Karen were very diligent. Totally recommend this house. One block from the beach entrance and very close to a couple of very picturesque piers with good restaurants around.

Stay here for a four nights for a girls weekend trip. Castaway Cove was clean and has everything you would need for a great time. Plenty of room for everyone and the location was close to the beach. The weather was great and it was so nice to have a pool to cool off in. Anna Maria Island was just beautiful.
