About this property

Breathtaking Views and Lasting Memories - Beachfront Fun & Relaxation

We welcome you to stay in our family beach house located on beautiful "Bean Point"; the most beautiful spot on Anna Maria Island, Florida. We have owned this beach house for 20 years now and have made so many wonderful memories!

THE BEACH has changed due to the storm. The last picture is the beach from the last time I was there.

When you walk up the stairs to the front door entrance (located on a huge wrap around balcony) you immediately see the sparkling, crystal clear, blue water. Once inside you’re in an open "great room" with a large, comfy sectional, coffee table with 4 pull out ottoman seats, a comfy large chair perfect for afternoon napping and cuddling, a dining room table with ample seating, and a kitchen island with 2 stools. The wall facing the water has high windows and large sliding glass doors displaying the beautiful view of the water.

The kitchen is well equipped with utensils, pots, pans and stainless steel appliances to make meals. I love that the kitchen, dining and living room are all open; so while I am cooking I can still hang out and interact with everyone. While cooking you can see the water through the windows and spot sea life swimming by!

The first bedroom has 3 twin beds and a Smart TV, the second bedroom has a large California king bed with a TV, and the Master bedroom has a large California King bed smart TV, and its own Master bathroom. There is a bathroom with shower/tub and double sinks in the hallway, and a master bathroom connected to the master bedroom that has a shower and double sink.

(The living room couch comfortably sleeps 2 adults on it BUT is NOT a sofa bed, just a large sofa.)

Downstairs is used as storage, so no one will be sharing the property with you while you are renting it (In the future we hope to make this an additional add on to the rental as a "game room". You will have access to beach gear below the house (see pic). Please remember to wash it off with fresh water and put back every day. This will ensure that the future guest will have the same beach gear to use!

The beach is always changing, and it’s actually one of my favorite things about the house. Just recently I visited and our beach was big and had these beautiful vines with purple flowers. Sometimes I come and there is a high tide, but it means that the water is closer to the house and you will see wildlife that much closer! Other times I come and the tide is extremely low exposing a lot of beach! But, there is always enough beach to sit in the sun, play in the sand and have a blast!

The sunsets here are amazing and we love walking to the very tip of "Bean Point" for this. The colors of the sunset are vibrant and not one sunset is like the other. This is the best place to watch a sunset!

When we are here, we see manatee, dolphin, birds and fish daily! You might possibly see sting rays, spotted eagle rays, tarpon, sea turtles, crabs and more! We also hand LAND TURTLES on the island. Gopher tortoise and the Florida Box Turtle.


We provide 6 parking spots: 2 covered parking spots and enough room to park an additional 4 vehicles, depending on size. (****Please note the city parking law. Tires must be minimum of 6 inches off street.****)

*Please note that this is our family home. We have had many years of creating memories here. While we keep it updated as best as we can, there are bumps and bruises. Of course, the imperfections of the house in no way will effect your stay.

-NO PETS!!! I have unfortunately had two different guest bring dogs. It is against policy and someone in my family is very allergic!!! Please, no animals/pets.

Please read description and look at pictures before booking. This house has 2 cali-king beds, 3 twin beds, and a couch that can fit 2 adults for extra sleeping spots!

Check in is a breeze. Keypad door entry!

Beautiful bay-side home
Our check in process was delayed because the cleaning crew was delayed and not quite finished, but Katie was very very responsive and communicated with me promptly every time I had a question. Within an hour we were in! And we had productively used the time to get to the local Publix! On Sunday, I found that the garbage disposal was jammed, probably because a prior guest had put leftovers it, but again , Katie answered my inquiry immediately, even though it was Easter Sunday. By Monday morning, Katie had the Allen Wrench tool delivered and once I removed a crab shell fragment someone left behind, it worked perfectly. We found the kitchen well stocked. I only had to borrow a 9by13 pan from a neighbor to roast our Easter Sunday ham. Everything else needed was there. Overall, it was a great week! AMI, we will be back!!! Thanks Katie!

Beautiful Ocean View
This house has a wonderful view of Tampa Bay - you can see the Skyway bridge, Eggmont Key, and sun/moon rise. We saw dolphins and birds. It is located on the east side of the island so not a lot of sun. The small beach unfortunately was hit by Hurricane Ian so there is not enough beach to really use it, even though the owners have tried to fix it. HOWEVER - Beach access is really close within a few minutes walk or short drive to public beaches. Otherwise, a nice stay in a comfy house with a spectacular ocean view.

great vacation with family
This was a great time with our family, spent a lot of time in the ocean behind the house and some a few steps up the beach from the house. Seen a lot of the wildlife in this beautiful part of Flordia and the Gulf coast. Weare definitely looking to rebook this trip again.

About the host

Hosted by Katie Kane

Host profile image
Our family grew up visiting Anna Maria and fell in love with this little island. Shortly after, we decided to buy a beach house here so we can enjoy getaways here more often. We found this gem of a house and quickly made it our own. We have had 3 generations that have shared memories under this roof and have so many wonderful stories of our times spent here. While we wont be interacting with you during your stay, we are always a phone call away (located about an hour away in Tampa.)

Why they chose this property

This property is phenomenal. We have a "private beach" that allows "right of passage" to people walking by, but no one else should be on your beach. This means that this side of Anna Maria is much more private than the Public Gulf side. We still boast beautiful views, and I would say our view is better because at night we have a view of the Sunshine Skyway in the distance! 1,800 LED lights will illuminate 1.7 miles of Skyway piers and columns from dusk til dawn. It’s one of the most ambitious lighting programs in the nation, featuring animated routines with names such as “Patriotic,” “Verdant Green” and “Purple Majestic.” - Source: The Herald Tribune.

Another special feature of this property is that our water tends to be calmer than the gulf side and the very tip of Bean Point. There are times the tide can be strong, so always keep your wits about you and the other guest, but my son has been swimming behind the house since he was a baby and was always fine - of course I don't let him go in when the tide/current picks up
!
We are right on the beach, which is the best place to be! I love that I can wake up and walk out to the living room and take in the beautiful blue water view. If I am downstairs on the beach and want a frozen margarita I just climb the stairs and make one. Being right on the beach offers a level of ease that another house can't. I hate when I walk blocks to the beach and realize I forgot something. The ease of the backyard being the beach is unmatched!
Our location is just 8 houses away from the Rod N Reel Pier which has a restaurant on the second level. A short 3 minute drive and you'll be at the AMI General Store (its a small store with necessities, snacks, some groceries, alcohol, a deli and ice cream shop).

What makes this property unique

This beautiful beach house is on the second level, giving you a stunning view from the open living/dining/kitchen areas to see boats, dolphin, manatees, sea turtles, manta rays, the Skyway Bridge, cruise ships and the Egmont Key Lighthouse! Features full walk around deck with gas grill and 4 bar height outdoor chairs for enjoying your wine/beer/cocktails!! Perfect for early morning sunrises and stunning sunsets every day. Squeaky, white sand meets the aqua water and then the view melts into the vivid blue sky. Only a few houses away from the Rod n' Reel Pier, great for fishing, eating fresh fish at their restaurant, or just having a drink at their tiny bar. Never a dull moment with constant activity on this waterway!! Fun for rafting, snorkeling, swimming, shelling or just building sand castles! Only a few houses to famous Bean Point most Northern tip!!!

The tides and beach size change daily based on Mother Nature, always a surprise!

There are so many unique benefits, as I listed above. Once you come and stay here, you'll see what I am talking about. The fact that I have been coming here for 15 years and it still blows me away is confirmation of the unmatched beauty, peace and fun you'll experience here. There is nothing like nature, but with all the modern day amenities close by!
