About this property

Anna Maria Island Rentals - Beach Front - "Angels Envy" -Rod & Reel Pier Retreat

First, Anna Maria Island is broken up into 3 cities, Anna Maria, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach. The City of Anna Maria is the most northern part of the Island and the most popular. When searching for Beach front rentals, be careful. A standard search of VRBO will Show 300 plus listings. Only a fraction of these are actually in the city of Anna Maria, and even less are actually ON the Beach. Many will be, steps to beach, blocks to beach, or beach view, or beach area and on and on. Make sure you actually select beach when doing your search. Then make sure you zoom in on the map to see which ones are "ACTUALLY' ON THE BEACH. There aren't many, but MINE IS!!!!! I can't tell you how many people say they were mislead by this type of description and ended up blocks from the beach.
Anna Maria and it's "Old Florida Charm" will sweep you away. With breathtaking sugar white sand, emerald water and some of the most incredible sunsets and sunrises in the world, its no wonder you are looking us over. If you're looking for a new 3 or 4 story brand new concrete home with all the latest and greatest, this is NOT your place. This is an "Old Florida" beach home. That's the reason people come to Anna Maria, we are mostly "old Florida". Please review pictures closely to see what you get. If you're going to sit inside all day and look at the walls and marvel at the granite counter tops and how modern the place is, your wasting your vacation. What's more important, looking at the new modern place your staying at, or spending your time on the beach fishing or watching Dolphin's and Manatee's and incredible Sea Birds and our beautiful Island? Direct beach front with the water is less than 50 foot to your bedroom!
Our family has lived on this Island for 40 years and visited way before that.
From the first cup of coffee watching the sunrise in the morning to the margarita as the sun goes down, you won't be disappointed. Please note, this is an elevated home as required for all new homes built after the mid 1970's by Anna Maria City regulations. There are stairs from the ground level to the living second floor and ALL guest must be physically capable of climbing stairs.
Why not spend your vacation at my home and truly enjoy Anna Maria!!
Please Note: the entire west coast of Florida suffered several Hurricanes in 2024 causing lots of beach movement and storm damage. My home was spared major damage and we are currently booking for 2025 and 2026. Thank You!!!

Without a doubt, the best place we've visited in a while! The most beautiful sunrise from the house's oceanfront balcony! Excellent communication with the management! Not to mention the dolphins and manatees right in front of you every day! We'll definitely be back.

Angel’s Envy was the perfect respite. As soon as you walk in, you know you are home. Spent every morning watching sunrises and every evening with beautiful sunsets. Joe has supplied you with everything you need to just relax and enjoy. Super clean rooms and a wonderful kitchen to cook in. So close to everything, yet secluded enough for peace and quiet. The dolphins, manatees, birds, with a surprise appearance of a stingray, kept us entertained. Joe was an amazing host. Very responsive to our needs. If you are lucky enough to stay at his place, go out to the private beach and say hello to Bubba Bear . You will be glad for a wonderful experience. Thanks Joe! We appreciate you sharing your lovely home with us.

Perfect Getaway

We stayed March 16-28. Had a wonderful time. Joe is very responsive and communicative. The island is super crowded during March, but we were able to navigate through the traffic jams. We enjoyed sitting on the upper deck and watch the sunrise and then watch the dolphins in the evenings.

Absolutely perfect

This place is nicer than I expected. Very comfortable peaceful home with perfect location. I walked bean point every morning to find whole sand dollars. The dolphins play continuously out front and they came very close to me while paddle boarding. Comfortable beds and the kitchen has everything we needed. We actually never went out to eat. Thank you Joe! .

I can sum this trip in one word, “WOW”. The property location was exceptional. Joe, the owner communicated with us and made us feel at home. His house was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Everything involved with this property and location is a 10. We watched the sunrises in the morning with the dolphins, manatees, stingrays, blue herons, and wildlife. You won’t need to bring anything really because Joe had a grill, umbrellas, fishing gear, swim towels, all the items you need in a kitchen, I mean everything. We are so happy we picked Joe’s property! We will be back again for sure. Thank you Joe for hosting us and making our granddaughters 18th birthday special! We will keep in touch. Thank you and God Bless.

Great House in Anna Maria

We enjoyed Joe’s place so much! He was so prompt and helpful with communication and any questions we had. The house is old Florida charm, very clean, and great location! Dolphins put on a show daily while we were there. Quiet and peaceful area with great sunrises each day. Would go back again for sure!

My Happy Place

First time on Anna Maria Island, and loved it! The angels envy was a perfect location to stay in for us. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and the kitchen was amazing! Joe was a very attentive host and quick to respond. We loved having the beach in the backyard, but just know there is no additional beach beyond the sea wall. A great spot to float and fish! The dolphins and manatees were amazing to watch throughout the day along with the beautiful sunrise in the morning and a five minute walk to beautiful sunsets! The beaches are beautiful with the softest sand ever. We enjoyed having a rental car to explore, kayaking, walking paths on the preserves and the unbelievable restaurants close by. We chose not to do golf cart and or bikes, but keep that in mind. Rentals are everywhere. There is a lot of recovery reconstruction going on but it’s amazing. How much has been completed. Thank you Joe for an amazing experience!

This is Paradise!

We booked Joe's place for our first stay on Anna Maria Island and loved it! We loved being on the waterfront as well as so close to the pier and walking to sunsets on Bean Point. His home was very clean and had everything we needed - especially loved the kitchen supplies and cookware, as I tend to cook a lot. I cannot say enough good things about Angel's Envy - it was like staying at a friend's house, not a cold and sterile fancy rental (we're not fancy people). Loved it and highly recommend!

Perfection!!

I LOVE this beach house. It’s in the perfect location to see dolphins and manatees. I’ve stayed there several times and it’s still my favorite! On this trip, I did have one issue arise, but the owner responded quickly to my message and we worked out a solution. He went above and beyond to make sure I had a great stay. I can’t brag on him or this home enough!

Perfect location and gorgeous views

We had a fantastic week at Joe’s house over our kids’ spring break. We love the north end of AMI where we are able to easily get around via foot, bike, or golf cart. Add the beautiful views from Joe’s house, along with the Rod and Reel pier and Bean Point just steps away, I can’t think of a better location on the island. The house suited all of our needs and came with plenty of amenities to keep us entertained. It was easy to communicate with Joe before and during the trip. Overall, it exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely stay at this house again when we next visit AMI.

Winter escape

Anna Maria is a lovely island. Very casual and old Florida. Non-commercialized. Home is located right on the water. You will be able to watch the dolphins feed every day. About 3 blocks from bean point beach. Shells are abundant. Home is just the right size for 4. Home needs maintenance.

Our Happy Place

Have stayed in Bradenton before and it does not compare to this location. Close to everything but very quiet and peaceful. House was amazing - clean, well stocked with everything we needed in kitchen and bathrooms, ample parking. Strongly encourage you rent a golf cart, it makes the whole "island experience " even more fun. Don't think you can get closer to the water and watching the sunrise and dolphins was wonderful. Joe made the whole process seamless from booking to checkout. We had a hard time leaving. Thank you for a special time we will always remember. Brent and Elana

Cozy beach vibe perfection!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful this property is!! The house is comfortable, feels like home, and has newer kitchen appliances. The deck has an amazing hammock with a million dollar view at any time. We had multiple dolphins, manatees, manta rays, starfish, and beautiful sunrises to enjoy the entire week. The sandy yard area had beautiful shells. Cozy lounge chairs, umbrellas, cornhole, floating tubes with anchors & a gas grill are just a few of the perfect amenities. Bean Point beach is within a short walking distance, has clear blue water with velvet sand, and is a must for the amazing sunsets. Joe is very hospitable and always only a phone call away if needed. We will definitely return! Best week ever!!

Beautiful location

When I first arrived I was slightly disappointed with the deck. It needs a little upkeep. After 2 hours, I was absolutely sold. Absolutely gorgeous location we had an absolutely wonderful week and spent hours on the deck with the peaceful sounds of the bay that also lulled us to sleep. We ate at the house a lot because we were so comfortable there. Very short walk to beautiful Bean Point. I have to sincerely thank Joe. He was absolutely wonderful. We needed help due to locking ourselves out and within ten minutes he resolved our problem. Thank you for a perfect week Joe
