About this property

2 BR 2 Full BA on Anna Maria Island just steps to Beach!


Escape to paradise when you book this 1/2 Elevated Duplex unit just steps to the beach! Renovated in 2019 with one queen BR and and one BR with (2) twin beds and two full baths. Please feel free to ask about early check-in - on days when I don't have guests leaving the same day, the unit is typically ready for you.

Vaulted ceilings, a brand new kitchen, all new luxury vinyl plank flooring and very comfortable furniture make this unit perfect for a small family or two couples seeking a relaxing getaway.

THE LOCATION:

Just behind Gulf Blvd at Bradenton Beach on Anna Maria Island, this unit is walking distance (within a mile) to many restaurants, Circle K, Walgreens, Publix, a childrens park, and of course the beach and the bay.

The location between Cortez Rd. and Manatee Ave. means you always have two routes to get on/off the island which can be very convenient!

There is also the free trolley to take you all over the island or even down to the amazing St. Armands Circle in Sarasota (you will switch over to bus service at the south end of the island to get down Longboat Key). The Monkey Bus will pick you up and drop you off right at your door which is very convenient if you want to have a few drinks and not worry about driving (basically our local taxi service).

THE PROPERTY:

Look forward to relaxing with all of the amenities you need in a home-away-from-home. Fully equipped kitchen including basic condiments, plenty of linens, beach supplies including chairs, towels, an umbrella, and a beach cart and coolers.

Shampoo/conditioner/liquid soap included.

Bicycles can be rented just down the street or even delivered to you. You can also rent a golf cart and stand up paddle boards or kayaks that they will deliver.

After a long day of fun in the sun, return home to wash off the beach sand with a refreshing outdoor shower before heading to one of the many wonderful restaurants or to our famous Bridge St. for a game of putt putt golf and some shopping.


ADDITIONAL DETAILS:

Key Residence Features:

- Amenities include a fully equipped kitchen, BBQ grill, wireless internet access, 3 flat screen TVs, wireless speaker for home or the beach, laundry room and parking under unit

- Prime location! Within walking distance of the beach (literally one street back from the beach) and many other sensational attractions! Easy on/off island access!

Bedroom Configuration:

This is our 4th trip to the island and to this property. For our family of 4 this is perfect. The house is always clean and inviting. Beach access is so close and with all the toys, chairs and umbrellas it makes the long days at the beach go by easy. We can’t wait for our trip next year!

Destination Wedding

Rented this place while we stayed in for a destination wedding in Anna Maria. The place exceeded my expectations it had everything you needed, beach items, wagon, beach towels, bath towels, gas grill, laundry detergent, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner if you forgot something it was likely there. Wish we could have stayed longer. The patio area under the house is so cute. I would stay again if I am ever in the area. It is cozy but perfect for a beach vacation with two couples or two adults and two kids.

Flawless experience

We loved the condo and location. Jen’s condo is so thoughtfully curated with just the right details and helpful tips in all the right places. The outdoor area was our favorite place - perfect for yoga, reading, napping and entertaining extended family in a safe socially-distanced setting. The location was also perfect. Steps to the beach and to a few restaurants, but a quiet neighborhood. Walks to other amenities were perfect distances for much needed exercise. Will book this VRBO again!

Stopped here twice now perfect spot, absolutely spotless. Only downside this time was relentless banging from across street builders from 7.30am to 5.30pm. Should have been warned as would have tried to swap accommodation.

This place was very good! Clean, crisp. Toiletries like toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, dishwasher pods are already there. That was very nice. Walk 1 block and across the street to the beach! Had beach chairs, towels and toys. Washer and dryer. Outdoor shower. Nice outdoor sitting area and 2 balconies. Plenty to do in the area with a free trolley or free monkeybus to get you around if you dont want to drive. Jen responded quickly. No issues with our stay!

LOVED LOVED LOVED this place!!

This was a fabulous place to stay. It is so clean and charming and super comfortable. The beds were so comfortable. It is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities! We especially loved all the kitchen dishes/cookware/grill ware. We loved having the beach stuff to take...towels, chairs, beach wagon, umbrella and kid toys/boogie boards. The owner lives on the other side of the property and is very quick to respond to any needs. We loved using the kitchen to cook some of our meals. She offers a binder with suggestions for places to go/places to eat/trolley maps etc. Anna Maria island is an awesome place to vacation and this property was fabulous. Thank you for the accommodations and we look very forward to returning next year!!!! The proximity to the beach is outstanding too!!

The Real Deal

This was our first trip to Florida and we couldn't have picked a better spot or a more accommodating host. The property actually lives up to the listing, and was spotlessly clean. There were many great touches, like the downstairs area where we could relax and watch the rain fall, the bluetooth speaker was a godsend, and the Yeti cups were indispensable! There were lots of towels, and full size shampoo/conditioner/body wash, as well as minis if we forgot something. Even the toilet paper was top notch, haha! The bed was very comfortable, just firm enough for our older bones, which is key. Jennifer was highly responsive to any questions we had, and really made us feel like we were old friends there for a visit. We were sad to leave her beautiful island oasis!

Beautifully decorated and stocked property

This unit is beautifully decorated, and it is in a great location - short walk to the beach. The most impressive feature of this unit is how well stocked it is. It has everything you could possibly imagine you may need at the beach - and everything is of good quality (chairs, totes, floaties, a wagon to take your stuff, umbrella, snorkeling). The decor is very tasteful, and the kitchen is well stoked (even with a great coffee selection!). Only complaint is that we felt the cleaning prior to us getting there was not great - the trash cans downstairs were overflowing with garbage bags, the grill was dirty, and we found an empty Gatorade bottle behind one of the chairs in the living room - suggesting the cleaning was sloppy. All minor things - as the location, beach and the condo were beautiful. Highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Place!! Excellent Location!

This place was amazing! Fantastic location to beach, restaurants and shopping. Jen, the owner, stocked this place with everything you need and things you didn't think to bring. Inside has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Kitchen appliances (big and small) cooking utensils, spices, plates, cups, pantry items and more. Towels are soft and dry fast. Little touches all throughout the space are the perfect touch. USB chargers on the lamps, a portable bluetooth speaker, board games for game nights and so much more. Outside has everything you need for a great day at the beach. Towels, chairs, beach toys, wagon and more! The owner is friendly and has tons of info about the island and things to do while visiting. Check out the binder filled with helpful info. We loved being greeted by Spencer each day! We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Strohl

Host profile image
I am originally from Ohio and some of my best and earliest memories are of visiting my grandparents in Florida. I have always loved the ocean and the feel of life near the beach, particularly the Gulf Coast.

It took me some time and a few detours to make my way here to the Bradenton area and Anna Maria island, but my dream of living at the beach did happen and I truly feel I have picked one of the most beautiful places to live.

My experience renting to people wanting to visit our beautiful island has been fantastic and so much fun. I enjoy every guest and I look forward to every visit! I am so very thankful for everyone who comes and stays and experiences good family time and relaxation time here - it really makes me happy.

I hope you have a wonderful stay and enjoy this beautiful spot as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

This property is in such a great location, very central on the island and even during the busiest times of year, traffic woes are minimized by being right between Manatee Ave and Cortez Blvd.
The convenience of the little shopping plaza right down the street for groceries, beach gear or breakfast or pizza and our little ‘famous’ Bridge St the other direction with great restaurants, shops and bars is fantastic.
Being one street back from the ‘main drag’ means it’s much more quiet and peaceful.
The walk over to the beach is easy and short and having Circle K for necessities right here is great.
It’s also wonderful to be on the skinny part of the island because you’re a short walk to the bay as well as the beach, which is nice for taking walks, riding bikes, or taking the kids to the little park we have by the bay.

The sunrises on the bay are just as breathtaking as the sunsets at the beach. It’s a magical place.

What makes this property unique

The beach across the street is wonderful - it’s not crowded, you can walk miles in either direction; the house is easily accessible from two main roadways, very central on the island, not so many traffic headaches (Manatee Ave or Cortez Rd for on/off the island); Circle K, Walgreens and the Publix grocery store are all walkable or less than a mile drive; it’s central to all of Anna Maria island and an easy drive down beautiful Longboat Key. (Plus my place is cozy, clean, comfortable and great for getting away from our hurried world to unwind!)
