Our Waterfront Home Is All Ready Just For You! VRC16-000016

This is the Florida view you have been dreaming of...
Single family home situated at the end of a natural canal with a view over the water. Sit outside, fish off our dock, take out the kayaks, or just walk steps across the street to the beach!

We are mandated to a minimum 7 night stay.

If you have a boat, you can dock it right outside the house! Private neighborhood boat ramp access six houses to the left. Room for boat trailer in our driveway. Our dock can accommodate a boat with a 9ft beam, 26ft LOA.
In addition we have room for 2 vehicles in addition to the trailer.

Set off in your own boat and you are 1/4 mile from fishing in the grass flats, 20 mins from the north tip of Anna Maria Island (Bean Point) and from there, 3 miles to the first reef.

We have several ocean kayaks for your enjoyment. Launch from our dock and see the manatees right outside. Our neighborhood, has a private boat ramp about six houses to the right of the water view.

We live in nearby Tampa, Florida and we are happy to make sure you enjoy our piece of paradise as much as we do. Please let us know if you need information about local points of interest, instructions with the home, or if there is something we have overlooked to make your stay enjoyable.

Our neighborhood is very quiet with many permanent residents. You will find peace and quiet in the evenings. Two churches (Catholic and Episcopal) are within close walking distance.

Beach access is only 300 steps away! Our home sits on one of the narrowest parts of the island, so the Gulf and Bay are very close together!

You are located very near to Manatee Avenue and Gulf Drive. Very closely located to Publix Supermarket, beach stores and restaurants. Bike lanes are available on the island.
Free trolly pick-up 50 yards from our home.

Beach chairs, wagon and beach towels are supplied. Dishwasher and Laundry detergents are provided.

We offer a level 2 EV charger powered by our own solar system.
So bring your Electric Vehicle and power up for free.

There is a camera mounted to the outside of the house facing the channel. The camera is solely for the purpose to monitor the channel and our boat. Should the renter desire so, the camera can be disabled for the duration of the stay.


You are vacationing in a residential area where homes are in close proximity to each other. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. The maximum permissible noise level is 65 decibels (e.g., a normal conversation) between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and 50 decibels (quiet conversation) between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. of the next day. No excessive, boisterous, or repetitive noise (e.g., shouting, yelling, screaming) is permitted. These noises can deprive neighboring persons of peaceful enjoyment of their property. A violation of the city's noise control ordinance shall subject the violator to the issuance of a notice of violation or citation. Noise is measured at the property line of the property generating the noise.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone.

This was a magical place to stay! Everything is exactly as pictured. This level of cleanliness, the location, and the host are rare! For people reading deciding whether or not to book this: just do it! Trust me! You are a couple minutes walk to the beach, walk to CVS, Publix, etc., the shuttle stop is 30 seconds from the house, and it’s quite easy to get on and off the island at this location. The bedrooms were comfortable and everything was 10/10 clean. We had an amazing stay and Oliver was extremely responsive and accommodating both before and during the stay. However, during the stay I only had to ask one small question so don’t think you’ll have to be reaching out to him a lot once you check in. Another thing I appreciated was the beach cart, chairs, towels, coolers, and umbrellas. Most of the other houses I looked at required renting one or more of those items. The little things like how the Wi-Fi was strong, water pressure was great, AC/fans effectively cooled the house, etc. also contributed to a 10/10 stay. Thank you!

Highly recommend! Had a great stay!

We had a lovely stay. It’s a well furnished home sited on the water at the edge of a canal. It’s also just a few steps to a gorgeous beach with amazing sunset views. It’s very well equipped. The owner has thought of everything. The two decks overlooking the water offer a great spot to read, sun and have a toast.

This is our 5th year staying here and we consider it our "home away from home". It is living the good life -- water view, resident manatee, flying fish, variety of birds, proximity to the Gulf. The owner is available and responsive and the time always passes too quickly.

Great Property

Great location, close to the beach, centrally located on the island. Nice, clean modern interior, very comfortable-everything you need for your beach visit. The location with the boat dock was a bonus, allowing my nephew to bring his boat down from Tampa for the day. Oliver was very considerate, checking in with us to insure all was well. Overall , I’d highly recommend this home and location.

Island Paradise, dock your boat in the back yard and fish everyday!

Annie and Oliver were the perfect host. Very spacious rooms and a beautiful kitchen with an amazing view. A family of manatees visited the dock almost every night. Having a place with a dock for our boat made it easy to fish everyday! Very relaxing getaway. Thank you!

Clean, well apportioned with a great waterfront location where wildlife abounds and the views are great. Kayaks are available for guests to use and we did. What fun!

Piece/Peace of Heaven!

This property has everything you know you want, and will surprise you with the things you hadn't thought of! First: the house -it's beautiful with (literally) everything you need. Immaculate! Second: the porch and dock - it was hard to peel ourselves away for the short walk to the beach (and we're beach people!). From watching the abundant manatees, to taking in the beautiful vista from the perfect outdoor furnishings, to kayaking around the inlet - it was a slice of paradise. The house is one block to the most beautiful, wide beach with crystal clear aqua water. It is also an easy bike ride or golf cart trip into the more bustling pace of the Anna Maria downtown. This house had everything we wanted and more - with the additional bonus of a super-responsive and accommodating owner who was just a short text or call away if we needed him. Our only regret is not coming sooner - and if we're lucky enough to come back to Anna Maria, we know exactly where we're staying. We wouldn't even dream of another place!
