About the host
Hosted by Deb Whitaker
I live on Anna Maria Island and enjoy the island life rich with nature -- not only the water that calls to my soul, but the birds, dolphins, and other wildlife. My fave things are soaking up the sun at the beach, meditation, the AMI Community Center, beachside yoga, paddleboarding, kayaking, time with friends, and reading. I love being a host to welcome people to this magical place for their own soul experience and to make lifelong connections and friends.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this magical, peaceful island life and the warm and welcoming people here, and this street embodies the heart of the island soul vibe. There is limited public beach parking, so it allows for a more private section of beach to have a more authentic experience. Our beach access is a well-kept secret filled with tropical plants and trees making you feel the rich island soul.
What makes this property unique
Island Soul Life Beach Bungalow is literally steps from one of the most tropical beach access points on Anna Maria Island. The bungalow feels like your home away from home where the sand in your toes is part of daily life, providing a sense of freedom and getting back to nature and the things that are important in life like authentic time with ourselves and others. It carries a legacy of touching the hearts of everyone that stays here.
