Seaside Views - Waterfront, Steps from Beach & Restaurants

Best Location on Island - Read Our Guest Reviews!

This water front, two bedroom condominium (ground floor), sits on the end of Pine Avenue, across the street from the beach and has wonderful seaside views of the bay. It also has it's own private fishing dock and boat slip!

We have tastefully furnished this spacious condominium. Each room includes quality furnishings that give the unit an island feel with all the comforts of home. Now with Free Wireless Broadband! We've added plantation shutters to every room with views that extend across the bay, beyond the city pier.

Stroll down Pine Avenue as it extends from the City Pier on the bay to the Sandbar Restaurant which sits on the Western Shore. Enjoy glorious sunsets on the Gulf of Mexico from the soft sandy beach. Sip a cocktail at your beach front table to the tunes of a local band. Fishing is the number one sport in this area. Watch 'em reel in the big one from the Rod n Reel pier located a short walk away with great views of Egmont Key.

Located at the north end of Anna Maria Island at the corner of Pine Avenue and Bayfront Boulevard. Across the street on Bayfront Blvd. is the Historic Anna Maria City Pier and Restaurant which dates back to 1910, The Bayfront Plaza, home to 'Two Scoops' Ice Cream Shoppe, Coffee House and Cafe is located directly across Pine Avenue. Also located at the Bayfront Plaza is the Anna Maria Post Office and shops for unique apparel, antiques, art, gifts and specialty items.

Take the free trolley that runs the length of the Island to Bradenton Beach, passing through Holmes Beach which sits in the center of this peaceful island. The mainland can be reached via two bridges which extend from the eastern shore towards Bradenton. The southern tip reaches out across the intra-coastal towards Longboat Key and Sarasota. Visit St Armands Circle for the best designer shopping on the West Coast or head to Walt Disney World and the other Orlando attractions which are just two hours away.

Come stay for a while!

We had a great stay in this condo. The location was just perfect. The beds were comfy and the condo was very clean and stocked with everything we needed for the week. We loved fishing off of our own dock in the back. We will definately be back to this gem!

We had a wonderful repeat stay at this unit! The post-hurricane updates and redos look amazing! The unit is very clean, and the location is fantastic. You can easily walk to the bay-side beach or the gulf-side beach. My family also walked to Two Scoops for ice cream every night! Host is great to work with, and you will not regret booking this unit.

Still our favorite place to stay!

This is our 3rd stay at Mr. Knowles condo, and we hope there will be more. There was a little miscommunication with the facility cleaning, but it all got straightened out to our satisfaction, and we had a wonderful week! This condo is located directly across from the bay and down the street from the gulf. There are places to shop and eat, within walking distance, all around. The location is quiet, and it’s a beautiful place to catch the sunrise.

Perfect Getway!

Our first time on AMI didn’t disappoint. The location of this property is in the north end, which is less busy compared to the Bradenton area. Short walk to the beach. Trolly stop right by the Pier. Nice quiet area with everything you need.

Wonderful Vacation

We arrived to find a darling two bedroom condo , just freshly painted and beautiful furniture The host was so accommodating with questions we had, and the location of this condo is literally the best in the island, you are close to beaches, coffee, restaurants, and shopping. Yet it is so quiet! We enjoyed seeing the dolphins from the pier

Wonderful Location, Less Wonderful Housekeeping

Disclaimer: This is the second year in a row I've stayed at this flat, and because it's just me and I need few in-house vacation amenities, I'll likely be a repeat customer because I know what to expect. In 2024, I arrived at my check-in time only to find housekeeping still cleaning up, so I had to entertain myself for two more hours until they were done. This year, I gave myself ample time to arrive and planned to get on the island around 6 p.m. (check-in time is 3 p.m.). When I arrived close to 6, it appeared housekeeping hadn't come at all — there were towels by the washer and dryer waiting to be laundered; the beds had not been stripped or replaced with clean linens; the bathroom had hair and an un-flushed toilet; there were muddy footprints in the entryway; the kitchen sink bore signs of frequent use. I struggled to get in contact with the property manager to report this issue, as though I could "check in" in terms of bringing my stuff inside, I couldn't unpack or settle in, and at first I wasn't sure if I was even going to be able to sleep there the first night. Thankfully, after a couple of hours, the property owner reached out and was able to get in touch with housekeeping to come by at 9 p.m. (six hours after check-in time, three hours after I was on the island). I gave them a couple hours to clean without me hovering, and when I got back around 11, the dryer was still going but everything was spic-and-span. This soured my first day of my reservation.

Great stay on Anna Maria Island. We visit every year and it never disappoints. The Bayou Condo is located at the tip of Anna Maria, great location to everything and great canal to sit and watch the stars at night. Ice Cream recommendation - Three Scoops!

Great stay! Great location!

We loved staying here! It was such a great location to so much. We were able to walk to two scoops for ice cream, we walked to the city pier and to the bay. We launched our kayaks right off the dock. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed. It was wonderful and we would love to stay here again!

"Best location on Anna Maria Island"

This was a lovely condo with everthing we needed. We loved the patio and comfortable chairs where we had our coffee every mornig. This is a wonderful location and almost everything we wanted to do was walking distance. We hope to come back again and again. It was a faublous 3 week vacation.

Anna Maria

Great location. But my husband has a broken heel and I picked the location for him to fish on the pier. The property description and photos made me think the unit was right on the canal rather than sit back. It was a big issue, but it would have been better for him. Had we been right on the canal.
