Anna Maria Island Rentals - Beach Front - "Angels Envy" -Rod & Reel Pier Retreat
First, Anna Maria Island is broken up into 3 cities, Anna Maria, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach. The City of Anna Maria is the most northern part of the Island and the most popular. When searching for Beach front rentals, be careful. A standard search of VRBO will Show 300 plus listings. Only a fraction of these are actually in the city of Anna Maria, and even less are actually ON the Beach. Many will be, steps to beach, blocks to beach, or beach view, or beach area and on and on. Make sure you actually select beach when doing your search. Then make sure you zoom in on the map to see which ones are "ACTUALLY' ON THE BEACH. There aren't many, but MINE IS!!!!! I can't tell you how many people say they were mislead by this type of description and ended up blocks from the beach. Anna Maria and it's "Old Florida Charm" will sweep you away. With breathtaking sugar white sand, emerald water and some of the most incredible sunsets and sunrises in the world, its no wonder you are looking us over. If you're looking for a new 3 or 4 story brand new concrete home with all the latest and greatest, this is NOT your place. This is an "Old Florida" beach home. That's the reason people come to Anna Maria, we are mostly "old Florida". Please review pictures closely to see what you get. If you're going to sit inside all day and look at the walls and marvel at the granite counter tops and how modern the place is, your wasting your vacation. What's more important, looking at the new modern place your staying at, or spending your time on the beach fishing or watching Dolphin's and Manatee's and incredible Sea Birds and our beautiful Island? Direct beach front with the water is less than 50 foot to your bedroom! Our family has lived on this Island for 40 years and visited way before that. From the first cup of coffee watching the sunrise in the morning to the margarita as the sun goes down, you won't be disappointed. Please note, this is an elevated home as required for all new homes built after the mid 1970's by Anna Maria City regulations. There are stairs from the ground level to the living second floor and ALL guest must be physically capable of climbing stairs. Why not spend your vacation at my home and truly enjoy Anna Maria!! Please Note: the entire west coast of Florida suffered several Hurricanes in 2024 causing lots of beach movement and storm damage. My home was spared major damage and we are currently booking for 2025 and 2026. Thank You!!!

Great house and it is right on the water. We saw manatees, an Egret walk right in front of the home, and lots of bird activity. Excellent sun rises and an easy walk to Bean Point for the Sunsets. Walk to the Waterfront Restaurant. Excellent food but plan early as there is always an hour wait. Joe the owner was easy to text to and his home has the perfect vacation because of the location. Looking forward to spending another week at Joe's home.

Thank you Joanne for the great review. Love the pictures you posted. Thanks and hope to see you again soon. Joe Z
Check in was easy. Unit was very clean. Beautiful views from the back deck. Close to Pine, so very close to everything. Joe was great to work with and very responsive.
Love seeing the ocean everyday from the deck! Very clean and easy access. Deck could use an outside string lights or something to see better. All in all loved our stay, saw dolphins and a manatee. Was a great spot for snorkeling seeing fish and collecting sea shells! Beautiful sunrises each morning! Loved being on the bay side of the ocean as it was quiet too!
Oh my, where do I start?! The pictures are 1/10th of how beautiful this place is! Clean, well appointed, beautiful and the best location on the island, truly! You have a private beach and step into the ocean whenever you want. It’s a resort in itself. If you want to get away from everything and feel like you’re on your own island, this place is for you. Joe was awesome to communicate with. We cannot wait to go back! Two thumbs up and a million stars! Thank you, Joe!

Thank you Terri, love the pictures. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and all the kind words. I look forward to your next vacation..... Joe Z
We had a great time at Joe's house. He was available anytime we had a question. The house is wonderful and has the most amazing views. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and all the seasonings you need for a great meal. We did get to experience record breaking low temperatures and a fierce wind. That was certainly fun and unexpected. Hope to get back there again.
Without a doubt, the best place we've visited in a while! The most beautiful sunrise from the house's oceanfront balcony! Excellent communication with the management! Not to mention the dolphins and manatees right in front of you every day! We'll definitely be back.
Privacy! Peaceful and the view was amazing. Wonderful location. House had everything we needed. Daily manatee and dolphins swimming very close to where we were. Steps to bean point sunsets. Close to restaurants. If you’re looking to relax and wind down this is your spot.
We really enjoyed our week at Angels Envy. House is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is very well supplied and made life easy for us. With the beautiful view we ate most of our meals in We fell in love with this little house
