Property details:

Welcome to  Almost Gulf Front. This stunning home might not be considered a cottage, it has a similar old Florida vibe and is big enough for the whole family. Almost Gulf Front is a sight to behold on the inside, its exterior is equally stunning. The Florida-style home has a front porch, perfect for enjoying the island breeze. There you can take in the tropical landscaping that surrounds you. The backyard is a traveler's dream come true, covered with pavers and a wide variety of palm trees. Take a swim in the private heated pool or relax on one of the surrounding lounge chairs beneath the shade of island palms. There is also an outdoor shower. Have a drink, or even enjoy a picnic on the large table. Friends and family can enjoy gathering in the inviting living room and connecting over conversation or a favorite movie. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and granite countertops that make meal preparations and snacks a breeze. The coastal theme and open floor plan include a dining area for guests to enjoy home-cooked meals, Anna Maria Island takeout, or play a fun board game with the option of moving the fun outside to the table. 

Allow yourself to be wowed when you reserve this home for your stay.  Almost Gulf Front is a stunning 3-bedroom 3 full bath private pool home that offers everything for a memorable vacation. As you enter the open space living area you will notice granite countertops, plantation shutters, 55” TV, and a washer and dryer. The bedrooms welcome you with King-size mattresses to provide the most comfort for a restful sleep. The wicker décor and coastal accents will make you feel like you have walked into your own private retreat far away from the hustle and bustle of the island. You will notice 2 bedrooms on the main level and a spacious master suite with a private bath upstairs to comfortably accommodate your party. The outside fully fenced in backyard with pool, spa, patio area, grill, and outdoor shower will be your own personal tropical oasis for relaxation and peace. Chairs and an umbrella are included for beach time and don’t forget to treat yourself to one of our unforgettable sunsets. You’ll have tons of space outside complete with plenty of seating to sunbathe or enjoy an evening meal with the family. From the prime location, you can walk, bike, golf cart or take the free Trolley to check out shops, art, restaurants, excursions and more.

Beach Getaway!!!

This property was perfect for our vacation! It is decorated and well stocked. Unfortunately our vacation was during Tropical Storm Debby and we stayed in but there was games and books to keep us occupied. The pool and spa area was like our own little tropical oasis!!! Will definitely stay here again. An easy close access to the beach also!

Relaxing and Comfortable

This is a lovely property, with beautiful and thoughtful decor. Everything about this place has a beachy vibe, and us very relaxing and comfortable. We loved the proximity to the beach and walkable neighborhood. Everything you need for the beach is right there, wagon, umbrella, chairs, towels, etc. We will definitely be coming back again.

Best time ever!

Our family was in florida celebrating my daughters college graduation. This house was beautiful, clean and the beds were so comfortable. Especially the master upstairs. Great location to everything. Nice pool area. AND there is a special guest living there. A very small lizard that likes to hide around the front porch. Lol. He greeted us every time we walked outside. He is shy, so he would only pop out for a second, but seriously, if we ever were to come back, this is the place we would stay. Just beautiful!!

Perfect Location Steps Away From a Stunning Beach

The house was great. Good size, all the amenities we needed, clean and it lived up to the description. Having the beach accessories was really appreciated. We had an excellent time, and hope to be back! Only concern is that the pool/spa good have been warmer. Otherwise a terrific experience.

Loved it

My husband, sister and her family stayed a week. The house was exactly as described in the description. It was beautiful. This was our first trip to AMI and we will be back. We loved how we were so close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We love the convenience of the trolley and will probably not rent a car next time. We had a few questions come up but they responded very quickly and took care of everything promptly. Thanks so much!

AMI family vacation

This was a nice house great location and close walk to the beach. The Master bedroom, bed was comfortable but comforter and sheets had stains on them. a cock roach looking bug was found in bathroom cabinet. Kitchen was well stock with most of what we needed but drawers had crumbs in them. We rented this home primarily for it's private pool and hot tub. Upon check in hot tub was not hot.. It was same temp as pool. We called and was informed that is was not a hot tub it was a spa and is only the temp of the pool. We are form MN and our hot tubs and spas are all heated. We enjoyed the pool and the backyard was quiet and relaxing. 2 days before check out, the pool guy came to clean the pool showed us that indeed the spa is heated and how to work it. Disappointed we were not told this information from the beginning and Maybe there should be directions.on how to use the spa. We enjoyed the spa our last 2 days there. All in all it was a nice rental in a great location.
