About this property

Steps from the beach!

This beautifully newly renovated Anna Maria Island bungalow is COVID compliant, super clean and very comfortable. With an open, split floor plan, it has 2 king bedrooms, each with private baths and is only 3 houses from FEET IN THE SAND! Half way between the amazing white sand beach and the bay and Pier. Only 1 block over is Historic Bridge Street with all of the cool restaurants, mini golf, shops and bars with live music. Once here, you never need to drive. Just leave your car in the driveway (it can fit up to 4 cars). Everything is within a block walking distance! If you want to be active, there is plenty to do! Take a boat ride to see dolphins, parasail on the gulf, go fishing off the Pier, play a round of mini golf or just relax at our beautiful white sand beach. Beach chairs, umbrellas and towels are available for your use. When you're not out and about, enjoy the private, shaded backyard with a brand new heated/cooled swimming POOL, grill, chaise loungers and a dining table, chairs and shade umbrella. There is nothing like Anna Maria!! Come make lasting memories!

We had the best time at the best location!!!!

We loved everything about our stay. The location is perfect for the beach, which is just across the street, as well as for every shop, restaurant, and bar. The home was wonderful and decorated with a fantastic beach vibe. The hosts were terrific and provided everything we needed to feel at home. After a day at the beach, we relaxed by the pool and then walked into town (just one block away) for music and great food. We will be back! Cheers!

Escape from Reality

We really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow, the pictures were an accurate description of the cutely decorated and comfortable home. Upon arrival the lock box gave us some trouble so I'd suggest upgrading to a keyless/code entry system, but we figured it out. The pool did need maintenance but Laura had her pool guy there within a few hours! She was VERY responsive and kind throughout our entire stay. We loved the ability to be able to walk to the beach, bay, mini-golf, shops, and to food/drinks. We even saw a manatee in the bay while enjoying an afternoon ice cream! I appreciated that beach bags, syrofoam cooler, chairs, umbrella, and other necessities were provided for our beach adventures. The bedrooms are spaced on opposite sides of the bungalow so our daughter (12) felt more comfortable sleeping on the pull out couch and having us in the front bedroom near her. We found the perfect solution for our family but thought it might be noteworthy for people reading reviews. The beds were comfortable and fans were available (you noise sleepers - I see you - this made my day instead of having to use my fan noise app). We would absolutely stay here again in the future! I thought Laura was a great host, the bungalow felt like home, and location was terrific!

Perfect Hideaway

Our family absolutely loved our stay at the house! It was a very easy walk to all of the restaurants and fun - Bridge Street is one street over! The beach was a quick walk and the provided chairs and umbrellas meant less that we had to purchase or bring with us! I think my kids spend the entire vacation in the pool though, ha! The house was very clean and perfect - we will definitely be visiting again!

About the host

Hosted by Laura

Host profile image
We have traveled all over the world and yet we kept coming back to Anna Maria Island. This is without a doubt one of our favorite places to be! There truly is nothing like it. We finally found the perfect house in the perfect spot and are excited to share it with you! We hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This house is so comfortable. The split floor plan gives you some privacy, but the living room, back room and backyard have plenty of space to come together. It is literally 3 houses from the beach and 3 houses the other direction to the bay. With it's white sand beaches, crystal clear water, home town feel and great restaurants, bars and live music at your fingertips, why go anywhere else?

What makes this property unique

Get all the comforts of home with a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and linens and within walking distance to everything! Beach chairs, umbrella (with digger), beach bag, towels, frisbee and even sand toys for kids are provided for you! Then enjoy the backyard with our heated/cooled swimming pool!!
