About this property

Spacious beach house with a beautiful view of the gulf

The fully air-conditioned house is in a quiet, exclusive residential area at the tip of the island. Miles of white sandy beach on your doorstep is one of Florida's most beautiful beaches. The house has 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large open plan kitchen and living area and free WIFI.
We renovated the house in 2021: new kitchen, new living room furniture, the mattresses, linen, towels, dishes and dining ware have been completely replaced. In 2022, hurricane-proof sliding glass doors were installed and the roof renewed.
Enjoy the lovely breeze on the terrace while having breakfast or watch the beautiful sunsets from the terrace in the evening. The special feature - your advantage: The location of the house is so close to Gulf beach and therefore very family-friendly.
The house has an optimal beach distance of approx. 150ft. The distances are short, especially when someone ' just ' wants to get something cold to drink or someone just has to go to the toilet...
Feel the breeze and relax: The house is located in the most beautiful part of the island with a direct view of the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy the sunsets from the terraces of the house.
And where else is that in America? You cycle to the pier, the post office or to the 'Sandbar', one of the most popular restaurants on the island.
People come from far and wide to this insider tip to enjoy good food on the porch in the warm breeze and watch the sunset as a red ball in the gold water.
Kitschy? - No, just very natural. And you can experience that every evening from the house terraces.

By car to Mickey Mouse & Co.: You can easily reach Florida's major attractions in the Orlando area in a day trip (approx. 1.5 hours' drive) by car. And in the evening you can look forward to the tranquility of the island again....

The small cottage with pool to the left also belongs to us. It is completely separated but can also be rented. This makes both houses ideal for weddings, family reunions or traveling with two families.

During season we only rent Saturday-Saturday

Ana Maria Island Family Getaway

We had an amazing vacation thanks to the wonderful house steps away from the beach we stayed at for the week, the beach house was very clean, spacious and comfortable, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our family of 6 guests, with a three car garage and all the beach necessities included. Communication with the host was fluid and we had zero issues during our stay. Highly recommended.

Amazing stay!

We loved our stay in this house on AMI. The home was spacious, clean, and very well-stocked. The huge front porch had a view of the ocean, and the path to the beach was only a few short steps away. It was perfect for our family of four. We would highly recommend this house.

Our Favorite: location, house, owners/management

This was our second time staying at this property. The home is wonderful: comfortable beds, good sized rooms and bathrooms, all the beach things you might need (chairs, umbrellas, toys, cooler, wagon, etc), drip and keurig coffee makers, all the things. The location is awesome: only a two minute walk to the beach. The owners and management are incredibly responsive, kind and easy to communicate with- after difficulty with management at other homes, I am so grateful to know that our stay at this home will be stress-free!

Beach sunsets

This property is in a wonderful location, across the street from the beach. It was exactly as advertised. The deck off the 3rd floor master bedroom with its views of the beach and sunsets is the best place in the house. The view may change in the future when there is a house built on that empty lot.

Our family of 6 was very pleased with this rental. It was clean, comfortable and spacious. The beach was beautiful and practically empty. Felt like a private beach and it was just a short walk. Would definitely recommend.

Simply wonderful!

My family and I so enjoyed staying in this beautiful home. The location was perfect! A short walk to the beach across the street for early morning walks and watching the sunset in the evening! The location is quiet and peaceful. Only a short walk to the shops on Pine Street. The large front porch makes for a wonderful place for early morning coffee and a quick lunch between beach visits. The beds were very comfortable, and the house had everything that we needed. This is our third trip to Ana Maria Island, and it will not be our last!

Home away from home

This home was close to the beach and convenient to the cute shops and food. We loved this home for our family. It was spacious and lovely. It had all the things we needed to feel at home whether we were cooking in or playing games. We love the open concept. Perfect for a family wanting to reconnect. We will be back. Thanks.

Amazing home

Such an amazing week! The view was spectacular from both porches! We spent all our meals soaking in the view from the large table on the porch. Very easy walk across the street to the beach access. Such beautiful clear water this week! Kitchen was very well stocked to allow us to cook all our meals (except for a donut run to the Donut Experiment!). Very comfortable beds allowing us to catch up on much needed sleep! Would definitely recommend this home for a week in paradise!

Anna Maria in August

We found the property to be as described. Was very clean and spacious. Everything was in good working order. Kitchen was well equipped for our needs. With 3 bathrooms, no one was waiting ever. The view of the gulf from the Master bedroom was a nice bonus. Owner was very responsive. We all enjoyed our stay.

Happy Place

The house is wonderfully located just a short walk to the beach, and a short walk to Pine St shops and trolley stops. After a small hiccup at check in, which was quickly resolved, we enjoyed a relaxing week+. There was construction going on directly behind, which started at 7am T-R, but not something the host could control. The house wasn’t fancy, but had all the amenities we needed. The hosts were super responsive and gracious throughout our stay. We’d definitely stay again! Thank you, Waldmullers!

Family time and 50th Bday Celebration

The house was well stocked and in a great location by Bean point. The beach was a short distance around the corner from the house. It was nice that they provided a wagon and supplies for the beach. Lots of stairs to this home especially if you are staying in the master bedroom. But the garage being available for the teens to hang out in was an extra Bonus. The only thing I would be aware of there are no televisions in the downstairs bedrooms. Other than that we had such a Great Vacation! There is a sign in the yard that says tortoise crossing.. and we got to see him in action walking across the main road. That was fun to watch. We would stay here again!

Great location

Spacious and clean. Easy booking, check in and out. House is in a great location. Some updates and minor repairs needed, eg. old bed linens, 2 non working lamps, old coffee maker, old appliances and coking utensils, charcoal grill/no gas grill, master bath doesn’t lock, kitchen garbage can, stairs to upper bedroom have a raised lip that you could trip on. All easily fixed. Would stay there again if these changes were made.
