The Beach House - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

The Beach House is situated on one of the quietest areas of the beautiful white sandy beach. Why not sit on the veranda with a glass of chilled wine and watch the dolphins play in the shallows, the pelicans dive and the Ibis run.

The property is very well furnished and equipped with everything we hope you would need to enjoy the perfect holiday. The three bedrooms are all a good size - the master has a King bed and benefits from an en-suite shower room, the 2nd has twin beds which can be pushed together to make a King if requested and the 3rd has twin beds. The family bathroom has a bath with overhead shower.

There is off street parking for up to 3 cars at the property.

Loved this little beach cottage.

We absolutely loved our time at this sweet little beach cottage. Had everything that we needed. The best part was spending each morning and evening on the front porch watching the waves crash, the birds fly and the dolphins swim. We will be back.

What a view!

This house is the perfect location for a winter getaway. It is right on the beach, the sunsets can be watched from the porch and the beach is quiet. We loved watching the dolphins. We had a lot of fun on Anna Maria. We look forward to returning.

Beautiful, Relaxing getaway

This property was more than we expected. Ocean views were amazing. We felt so lucky to have found this gem right on the beach. I loved the decor and The home was stocked with everything you need. The furniture on balcony was ample and in great condition. I hope to be able to stay here again in the future.

Thanks for such a well stocked kitchen! The beds were comfy and all furniture was as pictured. Really we spent most of our time on the beach and deck. Thanks for the wagon it really helped getting our beach chairs to beach. We want to come back soon.

Perfect beachfront location!!

The location is the best! Right on a wonderful, quiet beach. We loved the raised deck overlooking the beach/ocean. Perfect place for morning coffee and to watch the sunset in the evening. The house is great, very clean and so cute! The only thing that would make it better is new mattresses. The beds were not really comfortable.

The idyllic holiday properties team were great. The property needs repairs badly and it seems they are painting over their problems. The appliances need updating and the beds need to be replaced. Had a great time. Loved Anna Maria Island.

A Perfect Getaway

The house is just as lovely as pictured and it is right on the beach. The wrap around porch has a roof which was perfect on the two rainy days of our vacation. We were still able to sit or lounge outside and read or dine while watching and hearing the ocean. On lovely days we were just steps from the beach. We loved the shower and faucet on the lower deck for cleanup after a sand beach visit. There are lots of fine restaurants close by. You can drive your own car, ride the trolley or rent a golf cart. It was a wonderful vacation and we would truly come back to this little hidden gem.

Amazing beach getaway!

I could type for hours how nice this place is. The balcony, view, and distance to the sand is just perfect. The house is very cute but honestly you'll be spending most of your time on the balcony. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because it had roaches (some alive some dead), the mattresses were low quality, and sheets were stiff as a board. All easily correctable issues that should be addressed because I saw some of the same complains written in the visitor book. Constructive feedback aside I would defiantly stay here again. Overall it was wonderful.

Amazing home on the beach!

What a beautiful experience we had at the beach house. This home is just 20 short steps from the sand and a few more to the water. The wooden deck was my favorite part and cooking as I watched the ocean. The house is a little outdated but in an eccentric sort of way that feels like your part of a novel. The bed could be better but after a day at the beach I still slept well. The beach chairs and some pots need a refresher. But the view, privacy, location and huge deck are worth it. I would stay again. The memories we made at Anna Maria even with Red tide (which is not fun) are still priceless.

Stunning location but property needs improvement

We stayed 5 nights at The Beach House. The property was clean, the beach front location is absolutely stunning, we enjoyed the immediate access to the beach and the views from the deck. The booking process was straight forward and communication with the manager was good. We did find the property to be quite tired in places, specifically the bedrooms. We made the manager aware of numerous items that were broken or didn't work, phone, toaster, lights, blinds, music player, ensuite door lock to name a few. Numerous old and broken items within the property and outside. Only one key was provided which was often inconvenient as a party of 6.

Perfect location

We had a lovely stay. The first morning, I looked out at the ocean while sipping my coffee and saw a dolphin swimming by. That dolphin siting set the tone for the entire week. They provide beach gear like beach towels, skim boards, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas and much more. I was entertained by the myriad of gulls, terns, and sandpipers that endlessly traverse the beach. It was also fun to watch the colorful parasailers float by each day. We couldn’t resist and tried it ourselves and had a blast. We took many long walks on the endless beach. We rented beach bikes for the week and that got us around the island and beyond. We had top notch icecream and tasty grouper on a daily basis from the many options on the island. We took a Segway tour on the second day of our stay which was super fun and helped us get the lay of the land. When we return, we will be sure to pack shampoo and soap (the soap was very small bars that dissolved within a couple days of use since we wash our hands very frequently, but it’s super easy to throw a bar of soap into the suitcase for our next visit to this rental). I’d stay at this house again in a heartbeat. We had a lovely time. I highly recommend this rental.
