About this property

Bliss & Tonic Up · Bay Views · Gulf 2 Blocks

2BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · Elevated Bay Deck · Intracoastal Views · 2 Blocks to Gulf · Kayak & Paddleboard Launch · Fishing Pier · Outdoor Shower · Gas Grill · Washer/Dryer In Unit · 5% Military Discount

The upper unit at Bliss & Tonic has the better view. The covered deck sits elevated over the Intracoastal Waterway — high enough to feel removed from the neighborhood below, open enough to catch the bay breeze morning and evening. Sunrises happen in front of you whether you plan for them or not. It's the kind of deck that earns its own place in the itinerary.

Inside, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is bright and comfortable. Large windows and sliding doors connect the interior to the deck so the water view stays close. The primary suite has a king bed and its own en-suite bath. The guest bedroom has a full and a twin, ideal for families with kids of different ages. A den with a trundle bed handles additional guests. The living room sofa sleeper covers two more, sleeping six total. Fast WiFi, a 55" Smart TV, a fully equipped kitchen, and a washer and dryer in the unit mean the practical side of a week-long stay is handled without thinking about it.

The Gulf is two blocks away. Steps from the property, a local park delivers what most vacation rentals can't: a kayak and paddleboard launch directly onto the Intracoastal Waterway, a fishing pier, a basketball court, and a playground. Guests have launched kayaks before breakfast and let the kids run the court while dinner was on the grill — all without getting in the car.

Bridge Street is minutes out — groceries, restaurants, and the free island trolley all within easy reach for exploring the full length of AMI without moving your car once you've parked.

Bliss & Tonic Up can be rented on its own or combined with Bliss & Tonic Down for groups needing four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and sleeping up to 12. Both units managed by Island Vacation Properties.

A 5% military discount is available — contact IVP directly to apply.

Bliss & Tonic Up requires a one-week minimum stay. Not pet-friendly.

Bliss and Tonic had everything we needed to feel at home for our 3 week stay! The location was so peaceful and the two decks allowed us to find the sun and spend many hours outside taking in the view. The walk to the beach was short and easy. We would definitely come back again!

Beach and Soccer

We stayed at Bliss and TOnic for the week while my son was in a soccer tournament. The location was perfect between the bat and the beach. The house was a perfect size plenty of room for everyone to have some privacy. I love waking up and having my coffee on the deck!

Beautiful home in AMI

My family & I had the best trip thanks to this beautiful spacious home. Loved the kitchen & the rooms 😊 I thought we were getting the entire house but we just had the top floor (which was still plenty of room)

Highly Recommend!

Bliss and Tonic was fantastic! From the spacious interior to the stunning patio views this gem was the perfect way to spend some time on Anna Maria Island. The owners were so thoughtful in creating such a turn key vacation rental. We really appreciated the use of beach equipment that the owners provided with this rental. We would absolutely recommend Bliss and Tonic to anyone looking for a relaxing island getaway!

Peaceful Retreat

Bliss and Tonic {up} was a wonderful retreat for our family to reconnect and make memories while on AMI. Cooking dinner in the kitchen, keeping laundry caught up, and relaxing on the porch were such nice little blissful moments in this wonderful beach home. Thank you for sharing your space with us as we soaked up the sun while being beach bums.

Great family getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Bliss & Tonic Up. What you see in the pictures is what you get. The beds are super comfortable for a great nights rest. The walk distance to the beach was great. It was 2 blocks just as they said. We used their chairs and wagon to take our belongings to the beach. I would suggest to bring your own umbrella for shade. For the most part the house is very well stocked with your needs. We are already looking to book our next stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Bliss & Tonic! It’s a beautiful home. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. Which is great when you’re cooking for a big family. We were able to watch the sunrise every morning from the deck overlooking the bay view. It was a short walk to the beach. They had everything we needed for a day at the beach. It’s a great location, close to the beach, grocery store, and Bridge Street. We would definitely stay here again. It was a great week with family!
