About this apartment rental

Step into Old Florida charm with modern comfort at Bamboo Apartments #3, just 75 steps to the sand, with no streets to cross. We survived Hurricane Helene, are newly renovated, and remain meticulously maintained. From your bedroom window, enjoy a peek at the Gulf while the patio outside invites you to grill, lounge, and soak in breezy sunsets. Featured in Southern Living, our family-owned retreat has welcomed guests since 1971. No hidden fees, ever. Walk to Skinny's for a burger, Two Scoops for ice cream, or relax on our patios after a beach day. Clean, quiet, and always ready for our guests--beach towels, chairs, umbrella and cooler provided--just bring your flip-flops and bathing suit!

Nestled on nearly an acre of pristine beachfront, our property offers 150 feet of private sugar sand beach front with five expansive, uncrowded patios nestled in a wildflower meadow—no busy streets to cross, no stairs to climb, and no crowded hallways-- a rare one of a kind property on Anna Maria Island. And, if you’ve forgotten something, it’s a quick hop back to your apartment to retrieve it. Perfect when traveling with “littles.”

This was the perfect, romantic little getaway property! It was clean, had everything we needed, centrally located on the island, and literally just steps to the beach! The owners were helpful, communicative, and provided everything we could have needed (including beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc.). We will definitely be back!!
