About the host
Hosted by Alan Gary
I love hosting because it gives me the chance to share the places I enjoy most with people looking to relax, recharge, and make memories. Creating welcoming, thoughtfully designed spaces is something I genuinely enjoy. There’s nothing better than knowing a guest felt at home the moment they walked in.
When I’m not hosting, you’ll usually find me exploring local beaches, looking for great food spots, or working on creative projects that let me add little touches of beauty and comfort to everyday moments. I’m always happy to share recommendations, and I love helping guests experience the island the way locals do, laid-back, easygoing, and full of sunshine.

What makes this property unique
Our place stands out for its unbeatable location directly across from Manatee Public Beach, making it an easy walk to the sand. You’re also steps from public transportation, close to shopping and local dining, and have private, easy parking right in front of the unit, no stress, no crowds.
The property features a shared pool used by only one other unit, giving you a quieter, more relaxed experience. Inside, the space is clean, cozy, and thoughtfully maintained, offering everything you need for a comfortable stay. One of the best parts? The sunset views from your private deck, where you can unwind after a beach day and watch the sky light up.
Convenient, peaceful, and perfectly placed, this is the ideal spot to enjoy Anna Maria Island.
