About this house rental
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!!!

Just returned from our stay and cannot explain how amazing of a time we had!! We saw dolphins and manatees EVERY day and even had some swim right by us when we were floating in the ocean! How often can you stay in a place that is literally STEPS down into the crystal-clear ocean? The house was great and was so soothing at the end of a long day in the sun. Joe was always super quick to respond to any questions and always very helpful - thanks for sharing your beautiful home!

Fantastic house on the bay! Fantastic price too! Perfect for our family of four. We felt lucky the whole week to be right on the bay (sunrises, dolphins, manatees!). Our two teen boys loved to fish early in the morning and in the evening. 5 minute walk to Bean point beach. We will be back!

Great owner, great location, wonderful view! Condo has everything you need and then some. Beds are one of my biggest needs, normally they are horrible and kill my back but this condo has amazing beds. This was the first trip to AMI and we didn't want to leave. Hubby found 2 bags of nice bigger shells in the ocean for the grands right out the back yard. The dolphins would come all the way up to the wall.

Our stay at the house on Anna Maria Island was absolutely wonderful. The home was exactly as described and had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with every utensil imaginable, along with thoughtful basic pantry items. The cleanliness was outstanding, and the view was simply amazing. One of our favorite parts was seeing manatees and dolphins every single day right from the property.Joe was an incredible host — friendly, responsive, and always willing to help in any way he could. He truly made the experience even better. We would absolutely recommend staying here and would love to return ourselves.
