Santuario de mariposas de lujo, a pasos de las mejores playas y la avenida Pine, Piscina / spa, bicicletas
Welcome to Casa Mariposa! On Anna Maria Island (Anna Maria, FL)
Experience Casa Mariposa — where the rhythm of island life slows, and beauty unfolds in every detail. Just one street north of Pine Avenue and four houses from the beach, this elegant home invites you to wake with the sun, breathe in the salt air, and linger a little longer in the spaces that feel like home.
Perfect for: families, couples traveling together, and small groups seeking quiet comfort, style, and connection.
Highlights - Single-family home near Pine Avenue and Gulf beaches - 4 Bedrooms | 4 Full Baths | 1 Jetted Tub - Heated 45-foot private lap pool with spa - Lush tropical gardens and butterfly sanctuary - Multiple screened-in porches and lanais - Open-concept living and dining with seating for 8 - Fully equipped kitchen with coffee bar and breakfast seating - Bonus game area, wet bar, and outdoor cabana - Driveway parking for 2 vehicles
Interior Spaces Step through the 100-year-old teak gate, framed by lush greenery, and enter a home designed with care and character. Inside, soft light filters through large windows, reflecting off natural textures and warm wood tones.
The main living area feels both refined and relaxed, with high ceilings and open sightlines that invite connection. Comfortable seating surrounds a Smart TV — ideal for quiet mornings or evenings shared over conversation.
Every detail tells a story: antique teak columns, handcrafted finishes, and art that honors the home's namesake — Mariposa, the butterfly — a symbol of transformation and grace.

Outdoor Living Casa Mariposa's outdoor spaces are where time seems to stretch and soften. Step into a lush tropical oasis where palms sway gently, butterflies drift by, and sunlight dances across the water.
The 45-foot heated lap pool invites early morning swims or late-afternoon floats. A bubbling spa adds a touch of warmth to cool evenings, while the cabana and lounge area offer shade for midday relaxation.
Enjoy outdoor dining beneath the palms, or sip your morning coffee surrounded by the soft flutter of wings in the butterfly garden. Every inch of the yard feels intentional — a tranquil retreat designed to restore and inspire.

Overall the house was just okay. The location can’t be beat. We had an issue with the fridge which spoiled all of our food (around 175) on the first day. Once upon a beach insisted it was normal, but after I asked for someone to come out, the fan motor was broken. The kitchen has few amenities - none of the Tupperware has matching lids, no tinfoil / bags, and a very hodgepodge collection of everything else. We had two rolls of paper towels and two garbage bags for the week *maybe thats standard? but for a "luxury" listing seems meek). The shed is a mess - one bike has slashed tires, and the two that don’t have flat tires and both pumps in the shed don’t work. It’s disorganized and also a hodgepodge. They give you a credit to rent items, but I only rented one bike because it said there were others at the house. So I had to go rent other bikes, which is a waste of time and money. The pool is not secure. The wires on the porch are sagging which allow children to climb up and down which was a major safety concern for us the whole time. In general the maintenance of the house could use attention. The pool was cleaned the second day we got here which was nice, but then the yard cleaners came right after and leaf blew everything back into the pool lol. Overall if I had paid half the amount for this rental it would have been okay, but for the price I am disappointed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We genuinely appreciate the feedback, especially when it highlights areas where expectations were not met. I want to address each of your concerns with clarity and context.
First, regarding the refrigerator. While this type of concern is most often resolved through normal stabilization after stocking, based on our experience, we still chose to act outside of that typical expectation to support you. We responded immediately after hours and expedited our appliance vendor to the home within just a few hours of your arrival to ensure there was no underlying issue. At the time, the refrigerator was reading at 40 degrees, which falls within a normal operating range, but we moved forward with service anyway out of an abundance of caution. This is also why we include detailed pre-arrival guidance around refrigerator use, as this scenario is something we commonly see and it resolves in the vast majority of cases without intervention. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we could step in and assist right away.
In terms of kitchen supplies and household items, what you described aligns with what is outlined prior to arrival. The home is stocked with a starter set of essentials, including paper towels, garbage bags, and basic kitchen items, with the expectation that guests will replenish as needed during their stay. While we aim to provide a well-equipped kitchen, items like storage containers can vary and are not guaranteed to be uniform sets.
For the bikes and shed, we do note in advance that bikes are provided as a convenience and may require maintenance, and we ask that any issues be reported so we can address them. We did not receive communication during your stay regarding the condition of the bikes or pumps, and we would have absolutely stepped in to resolve that just as we did with the refrigerator.
Regarding the pool and cleanliness, you are correct that the timing of the lawn service impacted the pool after it had been cleaned. Had we been notified, we would have sent the pool team back out to correct it. The same applies to the general maintenance concerns and organization of the shed, which we actively manage but rely on real-time communication to address during a stay.
The safety concern you mentioned with the porch wiring is something we take seriously and are addressing immediately with our team.
As noted throughout the pre-arrival materials and rental agreement signed prior to your stay, many of these items, including starter supplies, bike use, and general home provisions, are outlined to help set clear expectations. That said, we would have truly appreciated the opportunity to address the additional concerns you experienced while you were in the home. Just as we did with the refrigerator, we are always willing to step in quickly and make things right when given the chance.
Overall, the experience you described does not reflect the standard we aim to deliver, and we will be reviewing both the home and these details internally.
Thank you again for staying with us and for your feedback.

An Amazing Stay
This house was beautiful and had everything you could want. The screened in porches and the breeze was heaven. The property was exactly as described. The pool was incredible, a tropical sanctuary!
AMI was gorgeous! The restaurants were great.
Wish we had more time. We will definitely be back!

Everything you want and need
This location could not be better - so close to the beach and so close to Pine Ave shopping and restaurants. The home is beautiful and clean and has every amenity you could want and need. The property managers were responsive and helpful, too. We absolutely loved our stay and plan to return next year! Thank you!

Butterfly sanctuary
True to its name, Casa. Mariposa sits on a treat and plant filled lot that can’t help but attract butterflies! The property was tastefully decorated and spotless. An added bonus was the lap pool and spa, both of which were welcome after a day in the sun. The entire process with the property manager, Once Upon a Beach, was seamless and stress free.

Sarlo Family Thanksgiving
This is our 9th year of Sarlo Family Thanksgiving which was almost cut out by Hurricane Ian. Thankfully we found 3 houses for our family, my Brothers family and In-laws!
The pictures did not reveal how spacious the upstairs was!
Loved our stay

Perfect house and Perfect location
We had our 3 kids & each brought a friend.: 2 college, 2 high school, & 2 middle school. House was well appointed and had everything we needed. 1 block from the beach made it easy going back and forth. Would definitely rent again.

AMI Family Vacation
Our family vacationed here for the week. The location of the house was perfect for a short walk to the beach or nearby shops and restaurants. We traveled with small children and cooked almost every meal at the house. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals which was nice. The pool house was filled with toys, beach chairs, bicycles, and more for outdoor fun. Another plus were the screened in porches which gave us additional room to enjoy the outdoors insect free. We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Mariposa!
