Bright, clean and spacious 'New England' style property, well designed over 2 floors. End property so quietly located with stunning surrounding views.

ADDITIONAL BENEFIT is that we use a local property management company. This gives you additional peace of mind should you encounter any problems or need advice whilst staying in our holiday home.

Air conditioning throughout and ceiling fans, smoke alarms and sprinklers.

On the first floor there is a large living/dining area with outdoor veranda for wining and dining with views of the Grassy Pointe nature reserve. Lots of windows with lots of light and lots of views. Surrounded by nature you will experience the serenity, beauty and birdlife of the Grassy Point nature reserve. Don't forget your binoculars! The living area has a large 40 inch flat screen TV with integral DVD. Sofa and armchairs.

Connected to the living area is the kitchen with large American style fridge, microwave and dishwasher and fully equipped with everything you could need for self catering!

On the same floor is a twin room with 2 single beds. Bright linen, pillows and bed covers. This bedroom has its own veranda overlooking the nature reserve and swimming pool.

Upstairs is the beautiful master suite. It is a large room with a screen door that you can open to enjoy the inter coastal breezes and the birds! Ensuite bathroom and large 'walk - in' wardrobe. 40" flat screen TV. Bright linen, pillows and bedcovers on the bed. Along the landing is the washing machine and dryer. Finally you reach the double bedroom also with a veranda overlooking the nature reserve and swimming pool. There is a 32" flat screen TV in this room.

The heated swimming pool is a secure (locked) pool for residents and guests only. There are tables and chairs and a changing room by the poolside. Large secure garage with beach toys and useful equipment for your days on the beach including a beach trolley and cool box on wheels, for those fun days on the beach. This means it is very easy to transport all your beach stuff down to the beach! You can also walk to the beach via the Publix supermarket for picnic supplies and everything else you might need!

Steps away is the free trolley bus stop which is truly brilliant. It is a free and friendly service that takes you to all the beautiful beaches and places of interest on the island. The trolley bus also allows you to transport your bikes for free!

As you enter Sandy Pointe you will cross a little wooden bridge. From here you can fish and possibly you will see the odd canoe and kayak as they make their way through the bayou!

Perfect location on AMI

Overall, we were pleased, especially with the location and the size of the space. The condo was clean but extremely outdated. The carpets upstairs, bathrooms and kitchen probably haven't been replaced in 20+ years and it shows. If they updated the place, we would definitely stay again.

Perfect 4th of July week

We loved this little townhouse for our 2 family vacation. There is tons of room for everyone. There was a crockpot. Normally when we drive we bring this to cook all day. This year we flew and no other family drove so we were super excited to see a crockpot we could use. Our kids loved meeting people at the pool. The beach is not a long walk at all but when you have to pack the whole house it was easier to just rent bikes for the week. We also enjoyed the parade on the 4th. There was so many fireworks as well but of course our kids were in the pool so we missed most of them. Thank you much for making our holiday special for us and letting us use this property. It was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Susan

My background is in nursing and my husband has recently retired from a career in medicine. We adore being with our family, outdoor life, nature, walking, cycling, birdwatching and swimming in the sea! My husband and I visited Anna Maria Island for the first time in 2014 and instantly fell in love with the sugar white sands, tranquil waters and the wild life. We decided this was where we would love to purchase a second home if it were possible. In 2015 we were approached by the Channel 4 programme 'A Place in the Sun' and they wonderfully assisted us in making our dream a reality! If you want to watch our journey the programme was shown on January 25th at 4pm!

What makes this property unique

We think the location is quite unique! You simply have everything you need on your doorstep - superb beach, heated pool, nature park, supermarket, restaurants and bars all within a short walk! Whats brilliant about it is you don't have to drive anywhere on the island if you choose not to! The property is situated in a quiet residential complex which backs onto a 30 acre nature reserve. So wonderful for enjoying nature! You are also a few minutes walk from the free trolley bus stop so very easy to nip around the island. Magical!
If you have spent a fun but tiring week at Disney, why not treat yourself to the most relaxing and unwinding nature experience for a second week! So visit and recharge your batteries!
