Resort-Style Ground Floor Suite Heated Pool/Spa 🐢

Resort-Style Ground Floor Suite, Prime Location, Lakefront, Heated Pool & Spa 🐢

In our lakefront luxury resort (12,500 sqft) we offer three separate ground level apartments with a large outdoor area that can be rented together or separately. Enjoy the privacy of your own entrance, fully equipped kitchen and outside seating area or spend time as a group at the large, Mickey Mouse-shaped, heated salt water pool or spa.

Our lakefront property is situated at 604 North Shore Drive, the prime location in Anna Maria, close to Bean Point. The most beautiful part of the white sandy beach is only a few steps away across the street.

Go fishing, observe Manatees or use one of our kayaks for a trip from the private dock on Vista Lake right behind the house. Spend precious time with your family while enjoying a barbeque or lounging in one of several outdoor seating areas.

Guest amenities like grills, pool, spa, putting green, giant chess, beach carts etc. are in place and ready for use.

Our apartments (that can also be booked separately) are:

The Turtle Suite - https://uc.orez.io/f/58ce40259a4548d796bb44b33113de59 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 sleeper sofa (Sleeps 2) - VRBO #2243665

The Turtle Suite (front house facing North Shore Drive) has one bedroom, the other 2 units, the Manatee respectively the Pelican Suites (rear house facing Vista Lake) have 3 bedrooms each. Although each unit has its own private terrace/patio/pergola with private outdoor furniture and grills, there are plenty common areas like pool deck, giant chess board, putting green that can be used by all guests.

After a sunny day at the beach our private outdoor showers are a welcome possibility to cool off. Take a dip into the large heated saltwater pool (automatic heat pump set to 80°F in cold season) that boasts a hot tub (Spa hours: 1PM-10PM, heat-up time 20-40 minutes, target temperature 99°F) in a tropical paradise setting. A perfect motto for a family picture. Relax in the flat water area or go for a swim in the large pool.

To make your stay even more comfortable, we constantly maintain and renovate our property and provide you with all amenities of modern living like highspeed Internet via WiFi, private dishwashers, full sized washers and dryers.

Outside air temperature and humidity in Florida can reach very high levels during the summer months. Our Multisplit Air Conditioning Systems are regulated for both heating and cooling to ensure consistent and safe operation of the unit during your stay. Our AC thermostats can be set to cool at a minimum of 72°F during the summer and they can be set to heat the unit up to 78°F during winter months. These parameters are based on manufacturer and AC tech recommendations and they ensure that you will have the best possible stay with us, without interruptions.

Great location on AMI
The Turtle suite was the ideal spot for our brief visit to AMI. We’ve stayed many places on the island over the years and this is one of the best. Completely redone interior, comfortable and clean. Short walk to the beach. Kayaks available off the backyard dock. A fun place. We’ll be back.

Very clean, location top notch to beach and restaurants and shops. Best beach cart and umbrella we’ve ever had. But beach chairs were not good. Property very nice and well kept. You need your own cooler and bags for snacks and sandwiches at the beach. Overall we would come back!!

Too small for the price
Our stay on Anna Maria Island was overall pleasant, yet some important aspects warrant attention. The grounds were lovely, and Lindsey, the housekeeper, was notably helpful. However, communication with the property manager was lacking—I attempted to reach them via email and phone but received no response. It's crucial to thoroughly review the listing description. Despite our initial satisfaction with the price, believing it fair for a prime location, we later discovered that it didn't encompass access to the private grounds. This revelation was disappointing, especially considering the modest size of our 900 sq ft accommodation. The disparity between the cost and space felt excessive and left us feeling somewhat misled. Thankfully, the other families sharing the space were amiable, but this arrangement could potentially sour someone's vacation if the other guests were less considerate. Despite this hiccup, we still managed to enjoy our time on Anna Maria Island and will be returning in the future, though with a more cautious approach.

Just right and wonderful location
We have been visiting Anna Maria for 22 years and never stayed at the same place 2x but we might reconsider now. It was the just the right size for a couple with the right level of amenities and fantastic outdoor spaces + kayaks to use! If you are looking for cozy little place to stay within walking distance of the beach and everything on the north end of the island..this is it!

Lovely Getaway
We decided to play a last minute trip with my sister and daughter and we were lucky this was available. It had everything we needed. Having our morning coffee/tea by the canal was great, the quick walk to the beach was perfect and we even took the kayaks out and used the hot tub each night. It is a quick walk to the town stores and restaurants too. This was our first time to Anna Maria island and we were definitely glad to be on this part of the island for our short stay!

exceptionally nice and exceptionally clean
This property was exceptional. The units have a brand new appearance and are exceptionally clean. There are 3 units each with a separate door to the pool deck which is in the middle of the 3 units. The pool is not huge but was all our family needed. The location is about a block from the beach. Each unit has beach chairs and umbrella along with a beach wagon to transport them to the beach.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location is a short two minute walk to the beach access, the unit was equipped with a beach cart, umbrella, and chairs, and it was very clean. Very close to many restaurants and shops. AMI is unlike any other FL city with the island feel and laid back charm. We had everything we needed and we hope to come back!

Great Adult Getaway
The place was extremely clean, decorated nicely and had all of the amenities. It was a super short walk to the beach! They provide a wagon, chairs and umbrella for the beach. It was smaller than we had anticipated but good for 2 people. They have a great pool but we did not use it as we spent our time on the beach. Cheri was very helpful when I called with a few questions!
