Studio · 1BA · Sleeps 2 · 100 Yards to Gulf · Outdoor Seating & Swing · Shared Heated Pool (4 Units) · Outdoor Shower · Mini-Kitchen · 2025 Renovation · Walk to Skinny's & Manatee Beach · 207 Sq Ft
At 207 square feet, Bungalow #3 is the smallest unit in the Anna Cabana complex — and the most honest about what it is. You're not paying for space you won't use. You're 100 yards from the Gulf, steps from a heated pool, and within a five-minute walk of more good restaurants than most guests can get to in a week.
The studio was completely renovated in 2025. Built in 1950 as part of the original Old Florida beach resort, the bones are authentic and the updates are current. The bedroom area is generously sized for a studio. The bathroom is notably spacious — larger than Bungalow #1 — with a walk-in shower and generous closet storage. High ceilings and smart design make the space feel larger than the square footage suggests.
Bungalow #3 has a mini-kitchen — mini refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker — not a full kitchen. Worth knowing before you book. It's designed for guests who plan to spend their days at the beach and their evenings at Anna Maria Island's restaurants rather than cooking. Grab coffee at Anna Maria Beach Cafe. Breakfast at Rod and Reel Pier. Lunch at Blue Marlin. Dinner at Bridge Street Bistro. All of them are within a five-to-ten minute walk and all of them have been recommended by previous guests who figured out the same rhythm.
Outside, a dedicated outdoor seating area with table, chairs, sun umbrella, and a wooden swing gives this unit its own outdoor space — different from the private patios of units 1, 2, and 4, but genuinely enjoyable. Weber grill access is included.
The heated pool is steps away, shared among the four Anna Cabana bungalows and consistently quiet — guests report having it entirely to themselves. The outdoor shower handles post-beach cleanup. Beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels are all provided — grab them and cross the street.
The Gulf beach is 100 yards away. Skinny's Place is less than five minutes on foot. Manatee Public Beach and Anna Maria Beach Cafe are five minutes. Publix and Walgreens are within easy walking distance. The free island trolley stops steps away.
Guests consistently report not needing their car for the entire week — and some stay for 28 days on exactly that basis.
Anna Cabana Bungalow #3 requires a one-week minimum stay. Not pet-friendly.

Very cute place. Close to the beach. Clean . Would go back.
This was an amazing experience from the moment i confirmed our reservations. The property managers did an awesome job communicating the details of the check in / out process as well as courtesy messages along the way. A small cabana with the essentials and comfort to make for a great experience. Very clean and well maintained property. We will return to this property. Steps to the pool, beach, and a short ride to everything we needed to have an amazing week in the sun.

Thank you so much for your glowing 5-star review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hopefully hosting you again in the future!
This property was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed for our week stay. We had a blast every day it’s right in the middle of everything and you can walk almost everywhere for anything you need. It was very clean and comfortable and cozy. It was perfect, we will definitely be back!
It was hard staying for 2 weeks in a one-bedroom Studio efficiency. But we loved the area. The room was clean and had easy access to both the beach and convenience stores. Plus groceries were a short walk away. It had a grill so we cooked some steaks and microwaved baked potatoes and steamed green beans. However, the table was outside, and it was cold, so it was a bit difficult to eat, but we managed. There was a coffee machine, but no cups, so we purchased some at the dollar store and left them there. Plus a wine glass and a second plate to match the one that was already there. We also purchased some metal forks from the dollar store. The knives were already there. All in all we enjoyed our stay in such a beautiful area. It was very quiet and would rent it again for a shorter period of time. It was like staying in a hotel.
Best place I've ever stayed. Room felt like a hotel as far as size, but had everything we needed. Plus a 75 inch TV.Also the room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable.The property grounds felt like a tropical resort. The landscape was immaculate and beautiful Very easy beautiful walk to the beach.The pictures really do this place no justice. We'll be back next year for sure.
Grateful to find this place at the last minute because our other VRBO cancelled at last minute. Smaller than what we typically book but we made it work. Short walk to beach, grocery store and restaurant.

We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Anna Cabana 3. Each unit having their own propane grill is a great convenience. Thank you for your five star review. Come back and see us again.
Enjoyed our stay. Everything was pretty much as described. Would like to see the bathroom door work better-if it was closed all the way it was very difficult to roll open. And it would be helpful if the lamps had a three way bulb in. A little extra light would be nice. Good location and nice pool area.

Thank you for your feedback. Hope you enjoyed your stay!
Location and beach access was perfect. Cabana we stayed in was for only 2; and worked out with some adjustments. Luggage placement was the biggest issue. But honestly, no complaints. Really enjoyed our stay.

We heard good things about AMI and wanted to check it out. We were very pleased. The cabana #3 was nice, clean and centrally located. It was close to Skinny’s and was a one block walk to Manatee beach.

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us.
Great bungalow, cool A/C, great large screen Tv with cable and WIFI. Lovely pool and outdoor space. One block away from beach access. No place to sit inside unit except for queen bed and one side chair. Nice small patio table with umbrella right outside the unit. Unit has a gas bbq grill, microwave, toaster and coffee maker.. Small but effective.
