Gulfside 1Br/1Ba Captain's Quarters On Anna Maria Island

The spacious master bedroom is light and airy with windows allowing a peak at the Gulf of Mexico. There is a separate dressing area connected to the bedroom with a dressing table and two closets. The living room is paneled in old cypress with exceptional light from five windows, which overlook a natural landscape and provide a partial view of the water. The galley style kitchen is small but well-equipped and accesses a small pantry. The bathroom has a tiled shower and charming vintage washbasin. A bistro table on the deck outside the living room is ideal for outdoor dining while viewing the surrounding lush landscape and Gulf waters.

Nice Stay at Captain's Quarters

Relaxing week at Captain's Quarters for my wife and I. Convenient location for us with easy beach access and a short walk or bike to local restaurants and shops. We really enjoyed the second floor apartment and the outside deck. It was just right for us. Barbara is a great host. She's very easy to work with and she tries to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. We would definitely return to this property in the future.

Loved it!

This was the perfect spot for our Mom/Daughter beach trip! The upstairs rental unit had the feel of a classic Old Florida beach bungalow. It felt like home by the end of our stay. The kitchen is tiny but we made it work for our needs. The beach access is just steps away, and the sunsets on AMI were the best I'd ever seen! Barbara is a wonderful host!

A Seaside Gem

We had an amazing stay in Barbara’s quaint, Florida home. You are a short walk from the beach, able to easily come and go for walks, breakfast, or lunch. The ease of beach access makes this property an easy choice. Barbara was so kind and helpful during our stay. She made sure everything was taken care of, provided details, and made sure to give us the BEST food recommendations. She is a fantastic host. If you’re looking for a beach getaway, this is a great place to be.

Charming get away

Small but charming apartment with lovely greenery surrounding and a small view of the Gulf. Short walk to beach. Nice bedroom with windows all around, and kitchen although quite small was adequate for us to prepare almost all meals. Barbara was lovely and very accomodating. Also loved having the bikes to go to Bean Point for sunset and to the courts for tennis and pickleball

The Best March Ever

This cozy upstairs cottage is just as it appears in the pictures. We found it to be very clean and comfortable, and a very short walk to the beautiful beach. All of the windows in the living area and bedroom reminded us that we were in a tropical paradise from sunup to sundown. The kitchen is tiny, but very workable. We cooked most of our meals in, but still enjoyed several local restaurants. Barbara is an excellent host, and we plan to return.

What a gem !

We loved this place. It has such old Florida charm. The bedroom is huge with tons of windows. We were able to hear the surf from bed ! The kitchen is small so we ate out a lot, but I was ok with that. The proximity to the beach is wonderful. It takes maybe a minute or two from the driveway to the beach. The host was wonderful and very helpful with any questions we had. I would definitely go back.

Quaint and spacious

We enjoyed our stay at Captains quarters. It is an older property, as described in the listing, with character! We were surprised at how spacious the bedroom and living rooms were. We have stayed at several other places on AMI and have felt like we were cramped in the tiny bedrooms. Captains quarters was comfortable for us. The location is excellent. It took us about a minute to walk to the beach. It is also central to everything on the island. We enjoy breakfast at Genny and Jane e’s. We were able to walk there from Barbara’s place. We would stay there again! Barbara was also helpful and available as needed. We had a great vacation!

Stairway to the view

The home is nestled behind a row of bushes and flowers as a hidden quarter. The stairway is beside an outdoor shower. The furnishings are quaint. The deck provides a wonderful space. The view of the gulf is only found in certain areas due to the growth of palms. The bedroom is light while the rest of the home is darker. We don’t cook, but used the small fridge and really enjoyed the Keurig! The walk to the beach is right next to the property. Our car stayed cool being parked under carport! For two people who don’t do any cooking while on vacation and had no guests gave adequate space! The deck was my favorite space💗

On the Roof

Barbara is a lovely hostess, with a beautiful Floridian home, just a few yards from Holmes Beach. We absolutely loved our stay "On the Roof". Listen to the James Taylor tune. The terrace is wonderful, we drank coffee in the morning and sipped wine at night. You can see the Gulf from the bedroom window and the terrace. The second story of Barbara's home is cozy, with character and charm. Can't wait to go back. We'll remember this vacation forever ❤️

Perfect getaway for two!

We had a great 1 week vacation at this property. It is located near the path to the beach and we enjoyed riding the bikes provided all over the island! When we called our host to tell her that the microwave had stopped working she purchased another one and replaced it in hours (even though we told her it wasn't necessary). Thanks for a great vacation!
