This unit is in the middle of the island across the street from Manatee Beach which is also a trolley stop for the free trolley that travels throughout the island.
It’s also in walking distance to both a Publix grocery and CVS pharmacy.
Donna and Alan are great hosts and very accommodating.
We enjoyed our time on Anna Maria Island and couldn’t have found a better place to stay.
This was our second stay at this property. Started off with just my husband and myself. But last minute we had our big family join us. Alan and Donna were very accommodating and made everyone feel welcome! I highly recommend this property! The property is very clean and close to everything you need!
Our accomodations were very nice. The owners were prompt with any of our needs. The faucet in master bath had an issue. Plumber was there the next day. We enjoyed Allen and Debby. Both very nice people. The public beach is literally right across the street. It was nice to walk over there and not have to drive. Traffic can be crazy sometimes. We are planning on going back next year.
The location of this place is amazing. It's literally right across the street from the best beach on Anna Marie island. But don't use Google maps to get here, they're wrong. The condo had everything we needed, including spare beach and pool equipment so you didn't have to buy everything yourself. The rooms were good sized and the condo was clean. We used the pool side grill a couple of different times. The biggest down side with this condo was because the location is so convenient it can be a challenge to get back on the main road, bit I'd still stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Alan Gary
I love hosting because it gives me the chance to share the places I enjoy most with people looking to relax, recharge, and make memories. Creating welcoming, thoughtfully designed spaces is something I genuinely enjoy, there’s nothing better than knowing a guest felt at home the moment they walked in.
When I’m not hosting, you’ll usually find me exploring local beaches, looking for great food spots, or working on creative projects that let me add little touches of beauty and comfort to everyday moments. I’m always happy to share recommendations, and I love helping guests experience the island the way locals do, laid-back, easygoing, and full of sunshine.
What makes this property unique
Our place stands out for its unbeatable location directly across from Manatee Public Beach, making it an easy and enjoyable walk. You’re also steps from public transportation, close to shopping and local dining, and have private, easy parking right in front of the unit, no stress, no crowds.
The property features a shared pool used by only one other unit, giving you a quieter, more relaxed experience. Inside, the space is clean, cozy, and thoughtfully maintained, offering everything you need for a comfortable stay. One of the best parts? The sunset views from your private deck, where you can unwind after a beach day and watch the sky light up.
Convenient, peaceful, and perfectly placed, this is the ideal spot to enjoy Anna Maria Island.
