5. Master bedroom has a King size bed & the second bedroom has 2 twins.

6. Bathroom has tub and shower.

7. There's also an outdoor shower spout for rinsing off after the beach.

8. The landline phone provides free local and long distance calling within the US and Canada.

9. Free high speed wireless internet.

10. Smart TVs located in the living room and master bedroom. Bring your Netflix or Amazon log-in information and stream all your favorite shows!

11. Games, books and puzzles for rainy days.

12. Sectional sofa and recliner make the living room a comfortable spot for reading or watching TV.

14. Laundry room is complete with full size washer & dryer. Iron and ironing board provided.

15. We provide limited "starter supplies" including soap, a roll of toilet paper and a roll of paper towels. We keep a variety of cleaning supplies on hand, but we can't guarantee that these supplies will be replaced between guests. We do our best!

16. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, pots & pans, utensils, microwave, Mr. Coffee 8-cup drip coffee maker, Keurig coffee maker, and dishwasher.

19. We are located 6 houses from the beach access point at the north end of Gladiolus St. From there it's a short walk down a path between two homes to the beach. In recent years there has been an accretion of sand at Bean Point, so it's another short walk from the end of the path down to the water. All in all, about 5 minutes. A second beach access point at the end of N. Bay Blvd. (one street over) takes you over a wooden walkway right to the beach on the bay side of Bean Point.

20. We have a Property Manager on call in case of emergencies or maintenance problems. There is no charge to you for this extra peace of mind!

21. We use a cleaning service between guests and they do a great job. If you would like to hire them during your stay, please contact us or the Property Manager.

Immaculate property in an amazing location

It was a delight to stay at this property. The location is amazing, a short walk to the beach. The property itself was very clean, well maintained, and equipped with everything we could need. We also really enjoyed the lanai and outdoor patio, giving the option to read or just relax and enjoy the weather.

AMI Getaway

My husband and I needed a little break, so we booked this home on Anna Maria Island. It was just perfect. It is located in my favorite part of the island (near Bean Point), and it was very neat and clean. It had everything we needed for a few days at the beach. We loved using the beach towels, cart, chairs and umbrella each day we went to the beach. It doesn’t get more hassle-free than that! We would highly recommend this beach house, and we would certainly stay again.

This place is great! Very clean and well equipped. It is evident that a lot of thought has gone into making this place perfect for beach-goers. Modern and freshly renovated, it has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Clear instructions are provided for every amenity (TV, grill etc.). ?Even the light switches are labeled; a small but incredibly helpful touch. The folks at Fran Maxon were extremely helpful as well. We had an issue with the provided pack’n’play the first night we were there. The next day they went out of their way to get us a new one and deliver it to our doorstep. If you’re looking for the perfect, cozy getaway for a couple or small family on AMI, look no further!

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Miller

Host profile image
We grew up in Maryland, went to high school together and have been married since college. We've lived in Florida for 30 years. We are now retired and enjoy traveling in our RV with our kitty!

Why they chose this property

We bought the property in 1991. It was our first Florida home! We lived in the front "A" side of the duplex while renting the back "B" side to an annual tenant. We moved to the Tampa Bay area for work-related reasons, but kept the property so we could continue visiting the Island and renting to others. We've now converted both sides to vacation rental units. We take pride in our property and aim to provide our guests with everything they need for a comfortable and memorable stay!

What makes this property unique

Our place is a short walk to the beach at the beautiful north end of Anna Maria Island. You will enjoy strolls on the beach, dips in the Gulf and gorgeous sunsets! We also love walking out to the Rod N' Reel pier for breakfast or lunch. We know you will fall in love with Anna Maria just as we did!
