For those seeking adventures outside of your vacation retreat, take the beach wagon with chairs and umbrellas 5 minutes to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. If you want to shop, walk to downtown Holmes Beach or jump on the free trolley to visit Pine Ave or venture down to Bradenton Beach. Whatever your choice, you will have a blast!

Thank you so much for choosing A Shore Thing. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Nancy
Absolutely beautiful, comfortable, clean home. Don’t hesitate to book. The home is set up perfectly and provides so much space for gathering to eat, lounge etc. The pool temperature was perfect for those chilly November nights: The owner/property manager was super easy to get ahold of if needed. The home is walking/biking distance to everything. We will be back !

Can't wait to go back
THE perfect getaway. Boat lover's paradise. The house was spotless clean. Everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable as well as King size. Beautiful house, perfect location, boat lift, plenty of room to park your trailer. The neighborhood was quiet AND a short walk to the white sandy beaches. So much to do so close. We loved having our boat out back. Dip in the pool in the early evening. Can't think of anything negative to do with the house. Just be aware, contractually, it takes a full 4 weeks to recieve your deposit refund if exiting rules are followed. Other than that, cannot wait to return! Many thanks to Nancy for accommodating and for the management company for checking on us.

Perfect Island Getaway!
This was our second visit to "A Shore Thing" and we had even more fun than the first! We took kayak rides out around the Bay each morning leaving right from our dock and spent afternoons at the beach. The pool is also a relaxing alternative with cool breezes off the water. This beautiful tropical home has the perfect location close to shopping and walking distance to the beach and is stocked with all the necessities for a very comfortable visit. Neighborhood sidewalks also provide a great path for morning runs! This is the place to stay on Ana Maria Island.

"A SHORE THING" IS AMAZING! WE HAD A BLAST!
We stayed at "A SHORE THING" for my birthday and had an absolutely fabulous time! The house is adorable and perfect for several couples or a large family! The decor is adorable and the house has everything that you will need plus some! The back yard is on the water so that you have boat access and beautiful views! The pool and backyard are the perfect spot for relaxing, grilling and family time! The beautiful beach is right down the street so you can go every day...if you can pull yourself away from the huge pool and the comfort of this awesome home! The house is also extremely convenient to the cute little town and all of the wonderful restaurants and shopping! You MUST rent this house and experience Anna Marie Island the right way!!!
Cheers- Julie and Gang!

Awesome house and location on Anna Maria Island!
Awesome house and location on Anna Maria Island! Very functional and nicely decorated indoor and outdoor spaces. Fantastic pool and private yard. Parked my boat right on the lift. Easy walk to the beach and town shops and restaurants. We had a great time - true island experience with all the great comforts. Recommend!!
