About this property

Anna Maria Rental Steps to Gulf Beach with Private Pool!

After owning this amazing property for 22 years I have decided to sell it. It is currently on the market. We would like to show the property while it is being rented. If we have a showing we will ask your permission of course and for your trouble I will offer a $100 discount against the rental total for each showing.

2000 square foot home on beautiful Anna Maria Island Florida, with all the upgrades and amenities. Short two block walk to the most beautiful white sand Gulf beach in the world and if you want to kick back at home at your private in-ground swimming pool. There is a spa with jets off the pool. NOTE: The pool/spa are heated by a heat pump heater and the target temperature is heated between 83 to 85 degrees for the pool and 101 for the spa. In the rare circumstance when the ambient air temperature is lower than the pool water the heater will not heat. Also please note it takes at least 45 minutes to heat the spa to a temperature of 101 degrees so you need to plan ahead if you want to use the hot tub.

Anna Maria Island is conveniently located near two major airports: Tampa International - 55 minutes drive or Sarasota Bradenton Airport, roughly 30 minutes drive. The island still maintains an old Florida feel, with uncrowded beaches and beautiful sunsets, while offering a diverse choice of restaurants and activities. World Class sunbathing, shelling, fishing, or just lounging are literally right outside your front door. With a private heated pool (winter only) and beach access, this house has everything you could ask for.

The house is luxuriously furnished. Special designer touches include - crown moldings, upgraded countertops, Satellite Direct TV service with ability to connect to Netflix. DVD player, full wet bar, parking for two cars in the garage and 2 cars outside on driveway. The master suite has a king bed and a master bath fit for a king or queen with bathtub and separate shower. The second bedroom has a king-size bed and room for sitting and reading. The third bedroom has two twin beds.

This is truly paradise within reach. You will come for two weeks and never want to leave.

Great family time

The house worked amazing for us. My husband loved sitting on the screened patio reading. We played games and cards, the kids played Xbox (we brought Xbox) together in the main room, we grilled most of our meals and enjoyed them together. It is stocked for everything you could need. We had fun on the beach, enjoyed the bikes, kids had ping pong tournaments and we loved the pool. Thanks

Really great house and property manager was easy to reach and quickly took care of things…..Only things I didn’t like was the pool has a camera on it so thats kinda creepy and the pool needs to be screened in badly because the mosquitoes made it hard to enjoy. But other then that its great.

We loved our stay!

My husband and I stayed for a month and loved the house. It was exceptionally clean, and I am pretty picky about cleanliness. We loved the screened-in porch on the main floor. It was great to have coffee in the morning while enjoying the scenery and we also ate dinner out there which was lovely. The pool and hot tub area were very nice and it had sun for most of the day. The location is great. It was about a 5 minute walk to the beach. The trolley stop is only 5 minutes away as well. The house is mid-way on the island so you can get to the North or South end of the island very easily. It is about a 15 minute walk to get to either end of the island. The Property Manager and the owner were very attentive whenever I contacted them. I have nothing negative to say about the property. We loved it!

Close to beach

Beautiful home with amazing pool and hot tub. Close to beach. Dishwasher wouldn’t work but owner is aware. King bed in master bedroom may need to be updated. Turning at night and getting in/out squeaked a lot. Overall we were happy with the home and love the location.

Lovely home on a beautiful island

This was such a terrific place to stay. We made great use of the pool and the kitchen and my daughter loved spending each evening watching “Prehistoric Planet” on the Apple TV account on the smart tv in the living room. Amazing location, easy to get to the Publix, Palm Avenue shops and Vinny’s for pizza!

Perfect stay in beautiful AMI

Being that this was the first time in AMI, we were not familiar with the area. The house was centrally located to everything. It was clean and comfortable and exceeded our expectations. We made great use of the pool and hot tub (both super clean) after hours spent at the nearby, gorgeous beach. We couldn't have wanted more. It was perfect and we hope to return soon. Thank you!

Location!

This home was in a great location. 5 min walk to the beach. Easy walk or bike to shops and restaurants. We loved having the beach so close for the morning and then a private pool for afternoons. Wish we had realized there were only 3 bikes but luckily found a last min rental for the week to get everyone a bike.

3 week stay

The location was perfect. It was an easy walk to the beach and there were plenty of beach chairs, an umbrella, cooler, wagon and other beach necessities. The house was large and comfortable and we enjoyed many family/friend dinners on the screened in porch. The pool with spa was another added amenity that we used often. The bikes are not in great shape but useable. The biggest drawback is the seasonal traffic. The trolley stop is at the end of the street but is subject to traffic. We ended up walking to the area shops, fitness center and restaurants but it is a long walk and probably not easy for everyone. We also had friends staying on Longboat Key and the traffic doubled the time it took to get from one island to the other. Otherwise, our stay was extremely enjoyable and we are hoping to come back again next year.

Peaceful, quiet, and well appointed.

My family (ages 7-65) greatly enjoyed our stay. The house is located close to the action on Pine Street, but far enough away from the noise. The house itself is clean and comfortable with everything we needed, including great things for a beach day. We ran into a slight problem with the dishwasher, and the management contact answered the phone fast and was able to fix the problem quickly. The pool was warm even when temps dipped to 60. The only negative feedback I have is the interior could use a bit of paint as there are some signs of wear. All in all, we loved our stay and would highly recommend it!

Nice location, House needs some maintenance

We liked the location and size of the home. The grill was not easy to use and was old and rusty. The stairs to back patio are very dangerous. There are multiple nails sticking up on the stairs. The heater to the hot tube would not work because the thermastat was set too low. Someone came out to fix it promptly. The keyless entry stopped taking the code and we had to have someone come out and reset that. The dishwasher filter was full of film and the water would not drain properly. The oven took a very long time to preheat. I was told the week before we arrived that the house had showed signs of termites in the windows and that someone would be out to treat them. They did come to assess the windows and did not require to come in the home, and they came when they said they were coming and even called before they got there. The linen on the master suite bed did not fit the bed and the mattress had a cover on it, so we had to adjust the sheet several times a night to avoid sleeping on what seemed like plastic.

About the host

Hosted by John Carney

Our family is now on its 5th generation of family members calling Anna Maria our second home. This house is truly our extended family destination and we hope you enjoy the island and our home as much as we have over the years.

Why they chose this property

Walk to the most perfect beach in the US, quiet tropical street, private pool, and close to major airports.

What makes this property unique

We love having the pool in addition to the beach. Although nothing beats our great beach, its kind of nice to just hang with an adult beverage by the pool and have a BBQ with minimal hassle and convenience. But when it is beach time - 8 minutes walk and you are there, Best of both worlds. Plus we love the secluded, highly tropical feel of our street and heavy foliage.
