Anna Maria Island Rentals - Beach Front - "Angels Envy" -Rod & Reel Pier Retreat
First, Anna Maria Island is broken up into 3 cities, Anna Maria, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach. The City of Anna Maria is the most northern part of the Island and the most popular. When searching for Beach front rentals, be careful. A standard search of VRBO will Show 300 plus listings. Only a fraction of these are actually in the city of Anna Maria, and even less are actually ON the Beach. Many will be, steps to beach, blocks to beach, or beach view, or beach area and on and on. Make sure you actually select beach when doing your search. Then make sure you zoom in on the map to see which ones are "ACTUALLY' ON THE BEACH. There aren't many, but MINE IS!!!!! I can't tell you how many people say they were mislead by this type of description and ended up blocks from the beach. Anna Maria and it's "Old Florida Charm" will sweep you away. With breathtaking sugar white sand, emerald water and some of the most incredible sunsets and sunrises in the world, its no wonder you are looking us over. If you're looking for a new 3 or 4 story brand new concrete home with all the latest and greatest, this is NOT your place. This is an "Old Florida" beach home. That's the reason people come to Anna Maria, we are mostly "old Florida". Please review pictures closely to see what you get. If you're going to sit inside all day and look at the walls and marvel at the granite counter tops and how modern the place is, your wasting your vacation. What's more important, looking at the new modern place your staying at, or spending your time on the beach fishing or watching Dolphin's and Manatee's and incredible Sea Birds and our beautiful Island? Direct beach front with the water is less than 50 foot to your bedroom! Our family has lived on this Island for 40 years and visited way before that. From the first cup of coffee watching the sunrise in the morning to the margarita as the sun goes down, you won't be disappointed. Please note, this is an elevated home as required for all new homes built after the mid 1970's by Anna Maria City regulations. There are stairs from the ground level to the living second floor and ALL guest must be physically capable of climbing stairs. Why not spend your vacation at my home and truly enjoy Anna Maria!! Please Note: the entire west coast of Florida suffered several Hurricanes in 2024 causing lots of beach movement and storm damage. My home was spared major damage and we are currently booking for 2025 and 2026. Thank You!!!

Property is as shown online. Very nice. Most appointed VRBO property we have stayed at. Tons of outside “toys” and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook in. Beautiful views and conveniently located.

Thank you for the review. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!
Our stay at here was absolutely perfect! It has all the charm of a classic Old Florida beach house while being well maintained and incredibly comfortable. The location couldn’t be better - close to everything, yet peaceful enough to truly relax. We loved being able to walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops without ever feeling like we were in a crowded tourist area. The house had everything we needed and instantly felt like home. If you’re looking for the perfect blend of quaint beach-house character and an unbeatable location on Anna Maria Island, this place is hard to beat - a fully equipped modern kitchen, plenty of beach toys, private access to a perfect swimming location, amazing views, dolphins and manatees. We can’t wait to come back!

Thank you Travis!! Your review captured the best of my "Lil Piece of Paradise". In my 30 years living in my home I have been so blessed to watch from my deck, nature in action. Dolphin, Manatees and so many sea birds and fish, keep my memories fresh in my mind. I am so glad I get the chance to now share these treasures. Hopefully others will take the time to come see just what beauty my home provides all with the backdrop of the most incredible sunrises one could find anywhere. I think my review history tells the story best. Thank you so much Travis, and I look forward to you and your family returning my home anytime. Joe Zambito
My family and I had the most amazing week at this home! It was clean, cozy, and very kid friendly. We hardly left the property because it had everything we wanted, and the views were absolutely incredible. Joe was very helpful and accommodating. 10/10 experience and we definitely will be back.

Thank you and your family Macey, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. I look forward to your next stay. Thanks, Joe Zambito
Fantastic house on the bay! Fantastic price too! Perfect for our family of four. We felt lucky the whole week to be right on the bay (sunrises, dolphins, manatees!). Our two teen boys loved to fish early in the morning and in the evening. 5 minute walk to Bean point beach. We will be back!

Thank you for your great comments. I enjoyed your stay, and hope to see you again soon. Fishing, spotting Manatee's and Dolphin and the incredible rises and sunsets are my paradise. Take care. Joe Zambito
Location is great, super comfortable and everything you might need in the kitchen. Watch sunrise from deck and sunsets at Bean Point! Lots of towels for house and beach!

Thank you Joanne for the great review. Love the pictures you posted. Thanks and hope to see you again soon. Joe Z
Great owner, great location, wonderful view! Condo has everything you need and then some. Beds are one of my biggest needs, normally they are horrible and kill my back but this condo has amazing beds. This was the first trip to AMI and we didn't want to leave. Hubby found 2 bags of nice bigger shells in the ocean for the grands right out the back yard. The dolphins would come all the way up to the wall.

Thank you Kim for your review. I am so glad you enjoyed yourselves and would love to have you back anytime, maybe with some "cooler" weather... I appreciate everything!! Joe Zambito
Great house and it is right on the water. We saw manatees, an Egret walk right in front of the home, and lots of bird activity. Excellent sun rises and an easy walk to Bean Point for the Sunsets. Walk to the Waterfront Restaurant. Excellent food but plan early as there is always an hour wait. Joe the owner was easy to text to and his home has the perfect vacation because of the location. Looking forward to spending another week at Joe's home.

Thank You John, so glad you enjoyed your stay at my home. Looking forward to your 2027 stay. Joe
Our stay at the house on Anna Maria Island was absolutely wonderful. The home was exactly as described and had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with every utensil imaginable, along with thoughtful basic pantry items. The cleanliness was outstanding, and the view was simply amazing. One of our favorite parts was seeing manatees and dolphins every single day right from the property.Joe was an incredible host — friendly, responsive, and always willing to help in any way he could. He truly made the experience even better. We would absolutely recommend staying here and would love to return ourselves.

Thank you so much for the comments about my home. So glad you found the view so incredible. Dolphins, Manatee's combine with schools of fish up and down the beach. It's Tarpon season now and they are rolling behind the house, hope you saw them. I share my home and always make the effort to make sure every small thing is taken care of and hopefully supplied for your enjoyment. Sitting on that deck is the best.. Thank you again and I appreciate the picture of the Blue Heron, his name is Percy! He's been around my home for at least the 32 years I have been there. (him or his relative) I look forward to your future visit. Thank You, Joe
Check in was easy. Unit was very clean. Beautiful views from the back deck. Close to Pine, so very close to everything. Joe was great to work with and very responsive.
Love seeing the ocean everyday from the deck! Very clean and easy access. Deck could use an outside string lights or something to see better. All in all loved our stay, saw dolphins and a manatee. Was a great spot for snorkeling seeing fish and collecting sea shells! Beautiful sunrises each morning! Loved being on the bay side of the ocean as it was quiet too!
Oh my, where do I start?! The pictures are 1/10th of how beautiful this place is! Clean, well appointed, beautiful and the best location on the island, truly! You have a private beach and step into the ocean whenever you want. It’s a resort in itself. If you want to get away from everything and feel like you’re on your own island, this place is for you. Joe was awesome to communicate with. We cannot wait to go back! Two thumbs up and a million stars! Thank you, Joe!
