With a sparkling pool with in-pool lounge chairs, large sun deck, covered tiki hut with hammocks, patio lounge furniture and patio dining and back lanai with lounge furniture and TV. The outdoor fun never ends! A pool table, ping pong table, and cornhole set will provide endless fun for your family.

Once Upon a Tiki is located on one of Anna Maria's beautiful canals. With a dock for fishing and Adirondack chairs for watching the world go by, you may even be lucky enough to see manatee and some of the beautiful wild birds that call the island home.

Once Upon a Tiki is easy walking distance to many shops and restaurants, and less than a block to the free island trolley, which travels the entire length of the 7 miles of the island. Hop on and off at your leisure and explore shopping, dining and the beaches. The perfect location for your next beach vacation!

Beautiful home, great property management

The home was spacious and super clean. The property manager was quick to respond to all of our needs. The fishing off the dock was decent for our avid fishermen and the activities were plentiful for kids of all ages-we barely left the house! The beaches are close and the area has a quaint, small town vibe.

AMAZING place!!!

We stayed here for a family vacation with our grown children and grandkids. This home is a perfect place to play and relax!! Backyard is amazing, and beach is super close. We have stayed many places...this time they all asked if we could just stay in this house again. I'm the "check out every spot before booking" person - fortunately we found this gem and would not even look for another! We will be back!

Great rental!

We had a wonderful stay at Once Upon a Tikki! As a four generation family we were looking for something to serve everyone's needs. This property had it all! Separate, quiet sleeping space, plenty of beds (which were all comfy,) one floor living, open spaces with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, entertainment, this had it all! The home was tastefully decorated, clean, well stocked with kitchen amenities, indoor & outdoor games, two refrigerators and a garage ice chest! Thank you for sharing your lovely home. No complaints from this crew!

Great property for family with small children,(we had 6 adults and 4 kids under the age of 3) all one level with plenty of room, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and outdoor shower, open kitchen and living area with easy access to Backyard and pool area. Back yard had plenty of tables and chairs , pool had a very shallow end for small kids and backyard area had plenty of games for adults as well as fishing from dock. Close to town and beaches. Really enjoyed our time there.

Perfect backyard for entertainment

The backyard was perfect for our group mix of little kids and older kids and adults! There was something for everyone and the canal is perfect to fish in. The rooms are a nice size. The industrial sized ice maker in the garage was great for filling up the cooler for the beach and just for drinks in general. The location is nice and close to a few good restaurants and beaches.

Anna Maria getaway

The home was perfectly located on Anna Maria island. It was big enough to accommodate our party of 12, with lots to do for everyone. Our vacation was great, and the rental played a big part of that.

Amazing Home on Anna Maria!

This home is amazing with a great open layout, lots of windows for natural light, lots of doors for access to the front and back of the home, comfortable beds, good amount of towels, plenty of fridge space with two fridges, a commercial ice maker in the fridge, beach chairs/cart, and an AMESOME backyard setup! We didn’t even go to the beach the first two days because the kids were having so much fun in the pool and backyard spaces. Location of the home is great and just a very short walk to the beach and the restaurants/shops on Pine Ave. Only things I would change are that every exterior door (and there are many) has a child security alarm that can become quit cumbersome to manage when you have many people going in an out and you only get the standard one roll or toilet paper/paper towels and small dish soap amenities which is pretty basic when paying these prices for a rental. Both of these are pretty standard for Florida rentals but I’ve stayed in homes on Anna Maria that didn’t have the alarms and had more basic ammenities when paying the higher nightly rates for a home this large/ group size. Overall I would highly highly recommend and you will have a great time if you rent this home!

Tons to do!

The house is beautiful and spacious. Plenty of room and lots of things you would need that you don't have to bother packing or buying. The backyard is a dream for entertaining kids and adults. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great when we went and the pool wasn't heated high enough so we didn't get to go in the week we were there but still had plenty to do. Had lots of luck fishing on the canal. Super fun place!!
