About this property
Single Level Home- 1 Minute Walk to the Beach- 5 minute walk to Restaurant/Shops
Welcome to the Blue Grotto — Your 1,850 sq ft Island Playground!
Recently renovated with all-new kitchens and more!
Kick back, spread out, and settle into our spacious 1850 sq ft beach house featuring:
• 3 bedrooms
• 2 bathrooms
• Full kitchen
• Living room
• Bar area
• Tons of space for both Team Early Riser and Team Sleep-In to vacation in harmony
Only 6 houses from the beach and steps from your large private pool*—you’ll be planning next year’s trip before this one ends.
The House
• Perfect for big families needing extra hangout zones
• Two fully equipped kitchens
• Outdoor TV for poolside game days
• Shuffleboard table for bragging rights
• 2 king bedrooms + 1 twin bedrooms, each with its own TV
• Large private pool (heating optional*)
Beach & Essentials Provided
We supply:
• Beach towels, chairs, wagon, cooler
• Bath towels, sheets & blankets
• A starter set of basics: soaps, trash bags, etc.
• Kitchens stocked with dishes, utensils, gadgets & more
The Famous “Golden Triangle” — AKA Everything-Is-Right-Here Zone
You're surrounded by all the island favorites. Walk, bike, or hop on a golf cart to reach:
• 5-minute walk → AMI Beach Café (Dad’s all-you-can-eat pancakes!)
• 2-minute golf cart ride → Freckled Fin Irish Pub for a cold beer
• 5 minutes → Two Scoops Ice Cream (dangerously delicious)
• 2 minutes → The Doctor’s Office for next-level cocktails
• 2 minutes → The Ugly Grouper… and safely back home again
• 4 minutes → Fresh seafood at Captain Anthony’s + groceries at Publix
• End of the block → Free Island Trolley to Coquina Beach & AMI City Pier
• Ginny’s & Jane E’s → Cinnamon rolls the size of your head
• The Sand Bar → Sunset + piña colada w/ dark rum floater (mandatory)
• Historic Bridge Street → Souvenirs, live music & island shopping
• Tide Tables → Legendary fried grouper
• Starfish → Fried shrimp some call “life-changing”
Island Days Done Right
• Watch the game on the outdoor TV while the kids splash in the pool
• Wander to the sugar-white sand beach in seconds
• Swap ocean sightings: Manatee? Sea turtle? Mermaid?
• Challenge the crew to a shuffleboard showdown
• Wind down with a 1-minute stroll to a jaw-dropping sunset
• Sleep soundly in plush king and twin bedrooms
Experience Vintage AMI
Anna Maria Island is a 7-mile stretch of pure old-Florida charm—flip-flops required, speed limit max 35 mph, relaxation guaranteed.
See y’all soon at the Blue Grotto!
*Pool heat available for an additional charge
