About this property

The Island Easy - Walk to Beach - Pool View Balcony - Dog Friendly - King Bed

Welcome to The Island Easy, a dog-friendly, one-bedroom condo on Anna Maria Island just a short walk from the beach. Perfect for monthly rentals, snowbirds, and remote workers, this updated second-floor unit offers comfortable, convenient island living in one of the most walkable locations on the island.

Located just five minutes from the beach and three minutes from both Publix and CVS Pharmacy, two minute walk to a stop for the FREE trolly which allows you to enjoy everything that AMI and Bradenton Beach has to offer. You can easily enjoy your stay without relying on a car. This level of walkability is rare and makes day-to-day living simple, however long you stay.

Inside, the condo has been updated and is designed for longer stays. The living area features a 75 inch Smart TV with a Fire Stick along with a new sofa and loveseat set with built in recliners. The bedroom features a king-size Tempur-Pedic bed, and the fully stocked kitchen is ideal for guests who enjoy cooking at home. A private balcony overlooks the main heated pool, creating a relaxing space to start or end your day. The unit also includes an in-unit washer and dryer for added convenience.

Guests have access to two heated pools, as well as tennis/ pickleball courts. Beach chairs, a cart, and a Cool Cabana are provided, making it easy to spend time on the sand without extra hassle. The condo is dog-friendly and allows up to two dogs, which is a rare find on Anna Maria Island and a major benefit for longer stays.

An assigned parking space is included, along with ample guest parking. Whether you're here to escape the winter, work remotely, or simply enjoy the Gulf Coast, this condo is set up to feel like home.

With its combination of location, comfort, and amenities, The Island Easy offers a true “live like a local” experience. Many guests come for a month and quickly wish they had booked longer.

A Few Guest Favorites . . .

One of the things guests love most about The Island Easy is how easy it is to enjoy the island without spending all day in the car. Start your morning with a walk to the beach, watch the sunrise or enjoy a cup of coffee on the balcony overlooking the pool and tropical landscaping.

When it's time to explore, some local favorites are just minutes away. Grab a burger at Skinny's Place, enjoy a sunset view while listening to live music at Wicked Cantina, or dance to local bands at Freckled Fin. Bridge Street is also nearby and offers unique shops, restaurants, ice cream, daiquiri deck, fishing, and beautiful bay views.

The free island trolley makes it easy to explore Anna Maria Island from north to south, including Pine Avenue, Coquina Beach, Holmes Beach, and Bradenton Beach.

Of course, many guests find their favorite activity is simply loading up the beach cart, chairs, cooler, and Cool Cabana and heading to the beach for the day. Afterward, return to one of the heated pools, enjoy a game of pickleball, or unwind on the balcony with a glass of wine and an island sunset.

That's the beauty of The Island Easy—everything you need for a relaxing island getaway is right here.

We have been visiting Anna Maria for years, it is one of our favorite places on Earth. We are so excited to share our vacation spot with you and hope that you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

One of my favorite things about staying here is how easy everything feels. Within just a few minutes, you can walk to the beach for a morning stroll or sunset, grab groceries at Publix, or pick up anything you need at CVS Pharmacy without ever getting in the car.

I also love starting the day with coffee on the balcony overlooking the pool—it’s quiet, relaxing, and a great way to ease into the day before heading out to the beach.

When it comes to food, there are some great casual spots nearby that guests always end up loving. Skinny's Place is a local favorite for classic burgers in a laid-back, old Florida setting. The Wicked Cantina is perfect for fresh Mexican food and margaritas (and AMAZING sunsets), and Freckled Fin Irish Pub offers a fun, relaxed atmosphere with live music and great comfort food.

The island itself has such a laid-back charm. Whether you're exploring local shops, finding a new favorite spot for dinner, or just enjoying the slower pace, it’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind. Having beach chairs, a cart, and a cabana ready to go makes spontaneous beach trips incredibly easy, which is something guests really appreciate.

And if you’re traveling with dogs, it’s even better—being able to bring them along and enjoy long walks together makes the experience feel that much more like home.

What makes this property unique

We have rented countless times ourselves, it's always such a treat to explore new places and still have the comforts of home.

We love to cook our own meals and noticed that most rentals do not have many basics, like sharp knifes, let alone some of the more obscure items we like to use (like a zester or citrus juicer). We made sure that we stocked up our kitchen as well as our kitchen at home. Decent pans, sharp knifes (with a knife sharpener), hand citrus juicer among other items.

We also pride ourselves in being available to our guest - via text and mobile. If you need something, and it's possible to get it to you - we will do it.

We just try to treat our guest like we would want to be treated and absolutely LOVE repeat business.
