Chase sunsets and island vibes at this lovely beach house on Anna Maria Island. Offering a private heated pool, dog-friendly attitude, and access to a beach nearby, this house will ease you into vacation mode in no time!

Located just over half a mile from the beach at City Park and a free trolley ride to anywhere else on the island, convenience is one of the best features of this rental. Walk down to Pine Avenue for shopping, restaurants, and freshly baked donuts. There is space for three cars to park in the driveway.

Spend relaxing mornings in the sun of your backyard, where a private pool is surrounded by tropical foliage - this is what island life is all about! Sip coffee, read a book, and play fetch with Fido (please note a 25-pound limit and small, nighty pet fee). Meals are easy to whip up in the fully equipped kitchen, and a gas grill is perfect for preparing fresh-caught fish. After a full day, relax with a DVD on the flatscreen TV or surf the free WiFi for activities to do tomorrow!

This beautiful house is waiting for you - book today!

The Shell House is an ideal “Old Florida” cottage just steps from the beach with a beautiful secluded pool area! We love it!

Definitely SEA the SHELL😀
Vbro - We love AMI and we really loved the location of 215 Fir ave. The house was just a few streets away from Pine Ave, the Ami community center and 3 houses from the beautiful gulf side beach up toward Bean Point. The backyard was very private with beautiful landscaping. We enjoyed the heated pool and it looked so nice at night too when it was lit up- the tiki guy was cool! The house had everything we needed, although it could use some updates and we would suggest fewer carpets- the tile/ laminate floors would be easier to keep clean without them. Also it might be better to have some type of shed to keep the bikes (now rusted) and beach toys in rather than on the back patio. Other than those few things, the SHELL house was great and we had a fantastic two week stay there! Thank you for listing your home and allowing us to enjoy it.

Great location
Location and backyard is fantastic! Would stay here again for that very reason. But the house desperately needs some updating- mold in the bathrooms. Bathroom sink clogged by day 3..

Great location.
Excellent location and close to the wonderful beach. Well furnished and practical kitchen. Good with two en suite bathrooms. Beautiful little garden and pool, inviting place to dine or just sit in the sun.
