This property is phenomenal. We have a "private beach" that allows "right of passage" to people walking by, but no one else should be on your beach. This means that this side of Anna Maria is much more private than the Public Gulf side. We still boast beautiful views, and I would say our view is better because at night we have a view of the Sunshine Skyway in the distance! 1,800 LED lights will illuminate 1.7 miles of Skyway piers and columns from dusk til dawn. It’s one of the most ambitious lighting programs in the nation, featuring animated routines with names such as “Patriotic,” “Verdant Green” and “Purple Majestic.” - Source: The Herald Tribune.

Another special feature of this property is that our water tends to be calmer than the gulf side and the very tip of Bean Point. There are times the tide can be strong, so always keep your wits about you and the other guest, but my son has been swimming behind the house since he was a baby and was always fine - of course I don't let him go in when the tide/current picks up

We are right on the beach, which is the best place to be! I love that I can wake up and walk out to the living room and take in the beautiful blue water view. If I am downstairs on the beach and want a frozen margarita I just climb the stairs and make one. Being right on the beach offers a level of ease that another house can't. I hate when I walk blocks to the beach and realize I forgot something. The ease of the backyard being the beach is unmatched!
Our location is just 8 houses away from the Rod N Reel Pier which has a restaurant on the second level. A short 3 minute drive and you'll be at the AMI General Store (its a small store with necessities, snacks, some groceries, alcohol, a deli and ice cream shop).

This beautiful beach house is on the second level, giving you a stunning view from the open living/dining/kitchen areas to see boats, dolphin, manatees, sea turtles, manta rays, the Skyway Bridge, cruise ships and the Egmont Key Lighthouse! Features full walk around deck with gas grill and 4 bar height outdoor chairs for enjoying your wine/beer/cocktails!! Perfect for early morning sunrises and stunning sunsets every day. Squeaky, white sand meets the aqua water and then the view melts into the vivid blue sky. Only a few houses away from the Rod n' Reel Pier, great for fishing, eating fresh fish at their restaurant, or just having a drink at their tiny bar. Never a dull moment with constant activity on this waterway!! Fun for rafting, snorkeling, swimming, shelling or just building sand castles! Only a few houses to famous Bean Point most Northern tip!!!

The tides and beach size change daily based on Mother Nature, always a surprise!

There are so many unique benefits, as I listed above. Once you come and stay here, you'll see what I am talking about. The fact that I have been coming here for 15 years and it still blows me away is confirmation of the unmatched beauty, peace and fun you'll experience here. There is nothing like nature, but with all the modern day amenities close by!
