Our home on Sarasota Bay has a fabulous ambiance of soft lights of the Cortez Bridge, Cortez fishing village, and Bradenton and Sarasota in the distance, which is fabulous in the evening! Being on south Sarasota Bay is the best ever and is exactly why our family vacations at this home instead of our Beach-view + Gulf-view homes!! • All new sliding glass doors + deck panels + deck flooring + inside flooring + new 2nd bathroom + windows + aqua-marine siding costing $75,000 through whole home. • Watch the amazing animal life swim + fly + sit from inside or outside your home including Dolphins, Manatees, Rays, Brown Pelicans, Blue Heron, Snowy Egret, Osprey (Sea hawks), White Ibis, and Wood Duck raft/team/paddling either in the backyard or on the pier pilings or next to the sea wall or in Sarasota Bay. • Walk our 2 Paddleboards + 2 Kayaks down concrete stairs directly from the seawall into Sarasota Bay 15 feet behind home or from Jet Ski dock + paddle to Bridge Street Pier, historic Cortez fishing village, Beercan Beach on Longboat Pass, Jewfish/Goliath Key, or wherever else you like around AMI! • Watch the mainland thunderstorms + lightning + even NASA rocket launches at Cape Canaveral on clear days or nights over the inter-coastal Sarasota Bay and see sheets of rainwater coming toward the home. • Water views everywhere with 18 new windows + sliding glass doors all around the home. • Enjoy the night lights of Bridge Street Pier, Cortez Bridge, downtown Sarasota, and the anchored boats in Sarasota Bay. • Listen to Live Music while on the Dock/Deck/Backyard from the wonderful performers at Bridgetender Tiki Bar! • Jet Ski (rent or bring your own Jet Ski) to ride it directly up onto our 2 Jet Ski docks. • Fishing Boat (rent or bring your own only if extremely experienced boaters in shallow narrow area) and tie it up to our south boat dock posts for an extra $50 per night. • Boat Slip rental 4 blocks away at Bradenton Beach Marina - https://bradentonbeachmarina.com/boat-storage/ • Grill outdoors on deck • Beach Jetty access into the Gulf of Mexico for views and fishing off Cortez Beach off 6th Street. • Coquina Beach is only 6 blocks to the south connected to Cortez Beach! • Coquina Baywalk + Coquina Boat ramp on Leffis Key only 12 blocks to the south. • Beercan Beach on Longboat Pass only 15 blocks to the south or a boat/jet ski/kayak/paddleboard ride away. • Unlike bay homes further north on AMI, Gulf of Mexico water currents through Longboat Pass provide lack of decay so there are no foul or decaying plant smells. • Cornhole bean bag toss game + board games. • Renovated kitchen. • Dish Network satellite TV with DVR for recording shows while at the beach or on Sarasota Bay or at Bridge Street. • High-speed Wireless internet for webcasts. • First floor of duplex is also available for family reunion or friends reunion, wedding, private party, and for complete privacy for the salt water pool + dock = see "On the Water" at www.Vrbo.com/1920035 Sleeping arrangements: • King bedroom 1 with en suite bathroom with new vanity + new shower + toilet, closet, lights, ceiling fan. • King bedroom 2 with Sarasota Bay views, glass French Doors, closet, lights, ceiling fan. Next to primary bathroom. • Queen bedroom with closet, lights, and ceiling fan. • Full sleeper sofa in living room. Our original 1940 AMI home is renovated and much easier to navigate than new-build 3-story homes on Anna Maria Island because our first floor is on the ground level and the second floor is one easy set of stairs. Other rebuilt homes on the island usually require climbing multiple flights of stairs up or taking small elevators. Florida's best-kept secret, Anna Maria Island (AMI), features beautiful white sugar sand beaches, older Florida charm, award-winning restaurants, and shopping all within easy walking distance or a ride aboard the free "Anna Maria Island Trolley". One of the few places in the world where the sunset is regularly applauded, this tiny slice of paradise stretches for 7 miles into the Gulf. Just across the Cortez bridge on the south side of the island, is the old school Florida fishing village of Cortez, where restaurants have excellent seafood and some have live music. Please consider bringing more family/friends to our 15 Florida Beach Homes or 8 Colorado Mountain Lodges or 3 Tennessee Lake/Country Homes on either Vrbo or the other primary platform.

This place was very clean. The set up is different we were in the lower level which felt like we were in a basement. The furniture and accommodation were nice but spartan
3.0
It was an overall great experience.
We were a little surprised with all the rules that were attached with this property and everything you have to do before you leave and during your stay. Make sure you read the rules BEFORE you purchase. If we read this we definitely would have stay elsewhere.
We first came into the property and the pantry door fell on us. The toilet paper roll was messed up. It looks like mold is growing around the baseboards. The floor was pretty dirty when we first can into the apartment. Also this is an apartment that has another apartment on top of it and shares all the amenities. We did not know this but it could have been our fault for not reading it throughly.
The location was great and what we were looking for. The paddle boards and kayaks were great.
2.0
The property is not on a road, it's actually in between 2 other homes that you have to squeeze your way in between them, then there was a large puddle of water from the rain, I had to crawl my way out of the passenger seat and there were 2 large trucks there along with an explorer in addition to mine. The view is beautiful, sunrises great, great kitchen and bathrooms, comfortable beds. Didn't like that the upstairs could share the pool and as they got in they would look in our window.

Property needs better maintenance but overall great location for family. I was not impressed with rooms. The rooms were just weird spaces converted into sleeping arrangements? Not really worth what I paid.

This was the perfect location for our family. The dock is beautiful, and the beach is just across the street. There were many things within walking distance. The little pool is just right to hang out in and watch the view. The home ist self was just right for our family. Clean, with everything that we could need. We will be back!
5.0
With the beach steps away, the bay and dock in back for fishing, and a jetted pool for relaxing this was just as described in the profile. This had something for everyone in our party. The nearby restraints, shopping, and nightlife catered to all!
Rex was an exceptional property owner to work with and we will use his properties whenever possible! Thanks Rex!
5.0
The setting with the dock and pool, ease of access to the beach, along with a short walk for dinner and shopping made this place simply perfect! The inside has been updated nicely. The other thing that made this property so nice was all the “extras” including provided linens and towels, well equipped kitchen, and all the kayaks, SUPB’s, and beach chairs/carts.
5.0
The property was located at the best place on the island. Close to everything, beach, shops, restaurants. We got to see dolphins swim up to the dock, manatee swam under the dock. Good fishing too.

Quick, much needed weekend get away with the family. Fantastic home, great location, stunning views, short walk to beach. Looking forward to returning and will definitely stay longer on our next visit.

Pool and dock right out the door. Very short walk to Cortez Beach and the main strip of shops (Bridge street). Comfortable interior furniture and beds. Easy communication with the host. We had a great time! Sunrise and sunsets everyday with ease.

We are seniors spending family time together. The place was perfect and offered activities we enjoyed like kayaking and SUP boards. Tried fishing, but nothing was interested. We saw dolphins. Enjoyed sitting in the pool and enjoying Florida warmth. The owner was great for communicating. We plan to come back. Loved AMI!
5.0
We had a wonderful stay - 4 adults and a 9 year old. The house was right on the water with wonderful sunrises. The beach was half a block away. Bridge St with lots of restaurants , shops and music was three blocks away. We loved having kayaks and paddle boards to go out on the water. The house itself was lovely - well equipped, nice living space looking out on the water with three comfy bedrooms and two excellent bathrooms. We hope to return next year !
5.0
This property is amazing. Cozy comfortable and beautiful. The view gave us endless enjoyment. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. From the cooler for our fishing trip to
the kitchen fully stocked to cook the fresh fish. The owner was very helpful gave us great directions to our hidden paradise and plenty of things to do while we weren't there. I really think it is the best location on the island. Thanks again for a wonderful family vacation.

This stay did not disappoint. We typically go away the day after Christmas for a week often to the north Georgia Mountains. However, the past couple of years we decided to stay a bit more local. We found this property during our stay in 2021. We wanted a location a bit closer to Bridge Street (shopping, but mostly food). Rex is spot on with his description of staying on the Bay side verses the Gulf side. You enjoy the sunrise, calmer water, fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding right from the seawall and dock of this property. There is also a nice pool, just cozy enough to sit on the underwater benches and take in the scenery. The property was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and a coffee maker. Two actually. One Keurig and a regular drip. Parking is tight if the neighbors upstairs have two large vehicles. You might want to walk down the driveway to scope it out before attempting to drive down or back in. We did rent a golf cart to make getting around easier and it is more fun than driving in your car. It is easier to find parking for a golf cart since they are narrower. Rex was an excellent host and very responsive to our questions before and during the stay. Thanks Rex!

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The views of the bay are wonderful and the sunrises are beautiful. The location of the property is nice with the beach just across the street. The host was very responsive and great to work with. We plan on visiting again in the near future.
5.0
We had a nice time. The home is set up great for families. The location is outstanding for walking to shops, restaurants and Cortez beach is directly across the street.
Nice dock for fishing. Clean, heated pool. Large tv in the living room but only one small tv in the king. Other bedrooms have no tv.
Bath towels are limited so bring some if possible. Kitchen is equipped with all you need.
5.0
This was our 4th trip to the island and this property had everything we could ask for and more. We had a few obstacles early, but they were out of the owners control. They were addressed promptly and fixed immediately which is all you can ask for. The location and accommodations were 5star and Rex was outstanding to work with.
Already planning next years trip.

This property was the perfect location to relax and unwind. We enjoyed all the property had to offer...especially the dock and the views. The location was ideal being only steps away from the ocean as well as shopping and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the "Dock on the Bay."

Perfect location on AMI
This place has the perfect location on the island. Watch the sunrise from the dock, dolphins swimming in the bay, and walk to the beach for the sunset. Rex provides more amenities than any other place we have stayed at and checked in on us by phone to see if everything was going okay.

Location!!!
We've been going to the island a few years now. This by far the best location. We walked everywhere. The beach is super close and a fabulous beach. We brought our boat, and we parked it on the dock. We saw dolphins in the morning whole drinking coffee. Tons of amenities. We loved the bikes. You can hear live music from the house at night. Just a wonderful place to stay.
5.0
Location was fantastic. Having such a beautiful sunrise every morning with dolphins was incredible. The pool was really a bonus. I loved it!! The owners really thought of every detail to make it a fun stay. The house was very cozy. I hope to be able to stay there again!
