About this property

Tropical HEATED POOL home mins from Anna Maria - minus the traffic & crowds!

Modern, cilean and bright pet-friendly HEATED POOL home mins from Anna Maria's famous soft sand beaches. There’s lots of room inside and out to relax and enjoy everything Florida's Gulf Coast has to offer including beaches, golfing, fishing, boating, tennis, pickleball, and plenty of nature. World class beaches are only minutes away but you may just want to stay "home" (and away from the traffic and crowds) enjoying your own private pool, lanai and cozy living space. Watch TV on the large sectional sofa, sunbathe, float in the pool, or enjoy sharing a meal at the dining table that comfortably seats 8. The house has 3 - 4 spacious bedrooms. One has a king-sized bed, TV, walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. The 2nd bedroom has a queen bed with French doors leading out to the screened-in lanai and pool area. The 3rd bedroom has 2 twin beds and, like all the bedrooms, high quality mattresses and bed linens, ceiling fans and room darkening window shades for a good night's sleep. Use the 4th room to watch TV, read, or as a 4th bedroom with a trundle that can be turned into two twin beds or a king.

Working remotely? No problem! The house has high speed WiFi throughout.

The kitchen is fully stocked with everything a cook could need including quality pots and pans, serving dishes and cooking utensils. There's also a microwave, blender, toaster oven, plenty of plates, bowls, glassware and silverware. Use the outdoor gas grill. Or if you’re not in the mood to cook, grab plates and enjoy pizza or carry-out from one of the many restaurants nearby.

The screened-in lanai has plenty of room to stretch out and relax on one of the chaise lounges. We provide floats and plenty of pool toys for the kids.
*Please note: out of respect for our neighbors, we ask all guests to enjoy themselves inside after 11 pm. So please no loud music, conversation or splashing in the pool after 11 pm*

There is also a washer-dryer available for guests to use. There's plenty of parking in the driveway or on the street right in front of the house. And bring your boat - there's a boat access to the Gulf of Mexico only five minutes away!

If you're bringing a pet, you can relax knowing the back yard is completely fenced in.

We've tried to to think of everything to make the house your home-away-from-home for a tropical vacation including nice linens, extra pillows and blankets, kitchen supplies, pool and beach toys, beach towels, beach chairs, and coolers. We also provide guests with a detailed list of our favorite activities and restaurants in the area. And for guests bringing pets, we provide a list of dog-friendly places, too.
If there's anything you need to make your stay more comfortable, just ask!

*If you would like the pool heated during your visit (it is OPTIONAL) there is an additional fee.*

NOTE: We highly recommend guests buy travel insurance so they’re covered in case they have to cancel outside the refund window.

Will be back…

This was such a carefree stay. The house is set up for fun. There is plenty of beach gear for the kids to use and even cute beach bags. There were plenty of soft towels and pillows and blankets. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved the outdoor space. The way the patio is tucked in makes everything feel very private. There is a fan you can use to circulate the air if need be but a quick jump in the pool accomplished the same thing. We took walks in the neighborhood and everyone was sooo friendly. There is the best, most helpful binder with great recommendations both on and off the island for things to eat and do. Beach tips: weekends are packed! Get there before 9am or risk spending most of your time looking for parking. Weekdays are much easier to find parking but I’d still recommend going before 11am. And if you go to Manatee Beach (without traffic it’s a straight shot about 10 mins away) and eat all you can eat pancakes right on the beach!! We have been to the area a number of times and this house was our favorite we’ve stayed at off island. Highly highly recommend. And if you encounter ANYTHING slightly off (we had found some lightbulbs that were burnt out) contact the owner immediately. She had them replaced within the hour. Super receptive. And she can’t make things better if she doesn’t know it’s broke. She was the sweetest.

First trip to Anna Maria Island

We had an amazing time! Staying at a functional, well stocked house is essential when traveling with a family. The kids loved being able to take a dip in the pool after spending the day at the beach. Having the flexibility of cooking at home instead of going out was also a great option! We would definitely consider staying a this property again when we visit Anna Maria in the future!

Palma Sola Relaxing

Great location convenient to AMI and central to Sarasota and Tampa areas. The house was well setup for rental needs and very clean! We enjoyed the pool and covered back porch. Caroline, the host, was responsive with any questions we had before and during our stay.

Loved this place!

We came from the North in search of a warm, sunny, quiet place, with a pool, child and dog friendly, and close to the beach and area attractions. This house is exactly that, as described and pictured. Clean, comfortable for 2 of us for 3 weeks, and worked well when one of our sons, his spouse, and their 6 and 2 year old children joined us for a week. The space is well designed for families and stocked with everything you might need. We spent lots of time outside on the covered porch and pool area. The backyard is fenced and nicely landscaped, so that the pool is sunny but surrounded by greenery, and it feels surprisingly secluded. It is in a quiet neighborhood-we liked that it was not in the middle of the crowds on Anna Maria Island. The owner, Caroline, lives nearby, is responsive and has helpful ideas about things to do. She has also written a thoughtful guide to the area with lots of great suggestions. There are so many things to do- the beach, of course, and Bradenton and Sarasota attractions are an easy drive. Palma Sola Botanical garden is a pretty place to walk and has outdoor yoga. Bishop’s Point is a short walk. Perico Preserve and Robinson’s Preserve are good places to hike, and the Nest at Robinson’s is great place for kids to climb and play. DeSoto National Monument has a nice path along the beach. Anna Maria Island (drive to Pine St. to park. You can order donuts online from The Donut Experiment and pick up, then use public access to the beach). Pine St. also has a few little stores and a public pier on the bay side. The Bradenton Saturday street market is fun. Kefi Coffee is nearby, has great food, coffee, and a nice large, covered patio that is child and dog friendly. Bishop Museum downtown Bradenton has a manatee rescue/rehab aquarium. And Jeremiah’s has tasty ice cream on the way out of Bradenton. Our favorite place to eat was the Star Fish Seafood Co. in Cortez. It is both a fish market and a dockside restaurant with really fresh fish, simply prepared, fun trinkets for kids, and a great little aquarium. We saw lots of Pelicans and a few Dolphins from the dock.

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Ziv

Born & raised Chicago, I've always loved traveling and am so lucky to have visited more than 40 countries. A few years ago, I decided to buy a second home someplace warm and found my way to Bradenton. I love how casual it is, the weather, the nature and, of course, the uniqueness of Anna Maria Island. I think this is a special spot in the U.S.

Why they chose this property

I love the openness and all the natural light. Plus, having a sparkling pool in your back yard is pretty great!

What makes this property unique

We are only 10 minutes from Anna Maria Island. One advantage to not being on the island is not having to deal with the terrible traffic & crowds, especially in season. You can drive or bike (or even take the bus) to the island in the morning, spend the day at the beach & then come home to your private oasis here. No loud parties or bars. Just privacy & comfort.

We are 15 minutes from downtown Bradenton and all it has to offer including restaurants & shopping.

Nature preserves are five minutes away so you can go for a walk, bike ride, run, paddle board, kayak, or just stroll and take in the sights and sounds of nature.

Sarasota with all its attractions (it's a great small city with too many attractions to mention) is only 25 minutes away.

There's also Siesta Key, voted the best beach in the world several times, just west of Sarasota (& south of Anna Maria Island) & popular Longboat Key.

And there is plenty to explore up north: downtown St. Pete, which has a great art community and lots of trendy restaurants, great beaches, and Tampa.
