Barefoot Gypsy = Steps to beach | Near Bayfront Park | Bean Point | Rod & Reel

The Barefoot Gypsy is an enchanted cottage tucked in the north end of Anna Maria Island in the City of Anna Maria, .Florida, mere steps to the white powder sands of Tampa Bay leading to Bean Point and the Gulf of Mexico.

For a taste of Old Florida Charm, meander a few steps to the Rod & Reel Pier, built in 1947. This is a favorite of locals and visitors alike to see dolphins, manatee, and an abundance of shore birds. If you are looking for a special place to dine on local fare, you won't be disappointed.

:Beautifully decorated, the cottage features two large bedrooms with queen beds in each room. Also, a large hall bath with a separate shower and tub, a half bath off the master bedroom, and an updated fully equipped kitchen are creatively appointed. The original terrazzo floors are flawless! There is also a bonus room with work space/art space and a full sized washer and dryer. Four bikes, beach wagon, beach chairs, beach umbrella, and beach towels, and a propane grill are also provided.

The living room, dining room, and kitchen along with a vaulted ceiling are covered with reclaimed wood from an original cottage on Bean Point. Just outside the front door, a delightful porch area is the perfect place to grill up your fresh catch or to sip coffee or wine and simply watch beach goers stroll by. .

The Barefoot Gypsy will be a home to revisit through the years for rest and relaxation and especially to take a step back in time and experience the charm of a true beach cottage.

I welcome you to the cottage and hope you will feel the warmth and charm I share with you. Welcome! "The Barefoot Gypsy"
