This home provides for your comfort and privacy in many ways. As you approach the home, you will drive to the end of the cul-de-sac on the southwest corner. You will enjoy ample private parking in addition to a large clean double garage. Upon entering, you will feel at home and everyone will enjoy private and comfortable sleeping and bath facilities. Common areas are open, warm, and comfortable with beautiful views of the pool, docks, canals, and Bimini Bay to the south. The living area opens to the screened Lanai with a 4 door sliding door that increases the common area size and allows one to feel at one with the outside. This is our home and we have tried to anticipate our guest's needs and provide them with a wonderful vacation.
This home is a boater's or RVer's paradise within a 5 minute walk from the Town Pier and shopping on the Intracoastal Waterway, and easy access to the Gulf Beaches. We have enjoyed lengthy bike rides (bike rentals nearby) down the Island to St. Armand's Circle (20 miles each way) where excellent shopping and dining are available in addition to the incredibly varied restaurants within 5 miles (many are within walking distance) of the house. The pool offers a high degree of privacy with good quality chairs, loungers, and tables. Adjacent to the pool are the docking facilities capable of holding a 50 ft. cruiser (not a deep keeled sailboat) in addition to a lift holding a 9000 lb. boat or approx. 26 ft. in length. We are devoted to fitness so we have a fine exercise room/playroom downstairs adjacent to the garage with 2 Precor elliptical machines, exercise balls, dumbbells, and roman chair for core strengthening. There are day gyms in the area as needed. We enjoy TV so there are 7 HDTV's with DIRECTV HD located in the 3 bedrooms, study, kitchen, living room, and exercise room (at least 3 having the DVR option). For those that simply cannot leave work at home, there is a wonderful study with wireless high speed internet overlooking the pool and canals so one could still be involved in the family activities.

Map & Owner's Profile
Have it All!
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Anna Maria
We saw this house and enjoyed the view, the floor plan, the proximity to so much including the events in Sarasota, St Pete Beach, and Tampa while offering a bit of privacy and small town feeling. We particularly enjoy the absence of large condos obscuring the beach and skylines and the commitment of the Town Council to maintain that situation.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The unique features of our house revolve around the degree of privacy we enjoy by being at the end of the cul-de-sac and having landscaping that delivers some privacy from both neighbors, road traffic, and boat traffic on the canals. We enjoy the comments of our guests that feel more at home here than many places with all bedrooms having private bathrooms, a fine study, and an excellent exercise facility/playroom downstairs.
Great place to fish, have dinner, or stroll with incredible views of Tampa Bay and the Sunshine Skyway
Great food and entertainment not as crowded and marina with gas for boat
Wonderful food with an incredible SUNSET. Often crowded, allow some time.
Wonderful views, often deserted. Look for bike and walking path from road.
941 778 3316 - 427 Pine St. They will DELIVER your bikes. We use them for guests, excellent service

Hello! We are Missy and Doc Brown and sincerely hope your stay exceeds your expectations. Missy and I spend most of our time in the mountains of Colorado and I currently still practice Dentistry while Missy produces TV shows for various health professionals. There are so many similarities between our small ski town and the village of Anna Maria in terms of a small town feel and slow pace of life. Again, please have wonderful time in our home.

Wonderful, well kept property. Beautiful pool right on the waterway. Perfect for relaxing. Have a cocktail and watch the sunset. Great area for biking with easy access to the stores. We took a a longer ride to Sarasota all on a bike path and it was great fun. We will definitely plan to make another trip to this lovely home and area.

My family and I stayed here back in October of 2010. We were referred by a friend who had had a wonderful experience of their own. The house is absolutely stunning and lives extremely comfortable for a vacation home. It's extrodinarily decorated with everything included you could possibly need during your stay. My husband and I decided to bring our 2 year old along also, with a few concerns on whether we would have enough to do to entertain her. Well, there was no problem there. The pool in the back was an obvious hit but the island itself is well equipt with fun things to do including renting bikes with baby seats and an amazing aquarium. Fantastic restaurants and shopping were just icing on the cake of this picture perfect vacation. We can't wait to come back for what will become our annual vacations spot.

This home was perfect for our vacation. It is a two minute bike ride to great restaurants, shopping, and the beach. If you don't feel like going to the beach, it has a beautiful pool with an amazing view! Great place for a relaxing, care free week. We will definitely be staying here again!!

I loved this vacation home from the moment we walked in the door. The feeling of quality was instantaneous. The homeowners have done an impressive job of decorating, everything is so comfortable! My favorite place was next to the pool in the most relaxing lounge chair. Wish I was still there!

My wife and I stayed at this beautiful home in Anna Maria a few months back and just loved it. We stayed a week and wish it was longer. We both agreed that this vacation was better then our honeymoon. The house was remarkable! Very clean and comfortable. We felt like it was our home away from home. Everything about it was relaxing from having cocktails and conversation in the screened in porch listening to the water in the background to swimming in the private pool together. We will definitely be back hopefully sooner then later. Also, the house has a great little gym in the basement set up for workouts. Just a great house! Thank you so much!
