Welcome to Island Life, a fully renovated and updated vacation home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. A private backyard tiki bar, a hot tub, and a heated pool await you at this ground-level Anna Maria Island paradise. Access to the Gulf beaches is just a short 5 minute walk from Island Life, perfect for viewing the famous sunsets and relaxing in the turquoise Gulf waters.

Walk up the stone pathway to the front door and be welcomed into a coastal oasis with vibrant blues and greens throughout the living and kitchen area. There is a flat screen tv with a Roku and a comfy seating area for movie nights. Get out the pots and pans, prepare a fantastic meal in the fully equipped kitchen, and gather guests at the beautiful dining table.

Leave worries behind and unwind in the primary bedroom with a King bed, tv, and ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Guests will love the second bedroom with its tropical flare and pool area views. The third bedroom is the ultimate sleepover room, with two full over full bunk beds. A stunning hallway bathroom has a bright tiled shower and tub combination. A sleeper sofa in the living room is available for guest use.

There is plenty of seating at the tiki bar and dining table outside, so you can soak up as much sun as possible while you’re here. You can also use the full-size grill from the pool and hot tub.

Perfect place for a family with teenagers!
The pool and the very short walk to the beach make for a perfect combination for a family with teenagers! With bike rentals and the trolley our boys were able to roam freely without us. Another hidden gem is close proximity to centerami.org where our boys are able to play pickup basketball a few nights. Our first time to Anna Maria and it is a hidden gem! Not crowded, laid back. A perfect week!

Great property
The house is very spacious and updated. The pool has partial sun in the morning and full sun midday and all afternoon. The walk to the beach could not have been easier. It was super clean and tidy upon arrival.

Perfect Beach House
Perfect beach house for spring break! Me, my husband our three daughters and a friend had a wonderful stay. So close to the beach that it was easy to go back and forth for lunch and such. Make sure you head back to the beach for the sunset at night - stunning!! The pool and hot tub were bigger than they appear in the pictures. The bedrooms were also very large. There were beach chairs, an umbrella and other beach toys in the garage. Very well equipped for the perfect beach getaway!

Great Location....Beautiful Decor
We really enjoyed our stay. Expansive back yard with heated pool and spa and lots of entertaining space. Lovely interior newly renovated. Best of all only steps from the beautiful beach.

Very pleasant
We really enjoyed this property. The proximity to the beach was the decision maker for us. You can see the beach from the kitchen window. The house was clean and very comfortable. The kids really enjoyed the bunk beds. The only negative for us was the communication with the agency. We came early and wanted to get permission to check in early and no one would give us an answer. We kept calling and were told they’d call us back and no one did. We ended up going to the actual office and speaking to some one. Over all, we had a great week. The pool and the spa were fantastic
Rita S., Reinholds, PA - Posted: 8/26/2020
Rita, we wanted to reach out and say thank you for visiting last summer. This home is a hidden gem with so much beach in the nearby distance. We are relieved to hear that your communication issues were resolved. The island is waiting for your return and so are we! You were wonderful guests!

Great house and pool
The only downside is the bedrooms are a little warm with the doors closed.

Amazing home just steps from the beach!
We absolutely loved this home for our family vacation! We were looking to find a spot near the water with a pool, and this home met the expectation and more! The owner, Glenn, was really responsive and got back to us quickly for booking on such short notice. Also, made it super easy for check in, check out, and offering up any help if needed. Our main concern was making sure the pool and spa were heated (since some places advertise pools, but refuse to heat or pay a fee). Glenn was really great about letting us know pool and spa would be heating and was super easy to heat spa when needed (heated so fast!!). The home had everything we needed.. enough space for a family, kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, coffee maker (a must!) and all the beach toys, towels, blanket, umbrella, and even a wagon to drag it all to the sand! We really felt like the back yard made the whole experience, it feels like it's own zen sanctuary away from the world. It feels very private! The tv by the tiki hut bar and grill allowed us to have some great nights just grilling and relaxing by the pool. And the big sell... steps to the beach! Walking out for days on the beach, to come and go throughout the day. I enjoyed morning runs to the point of the island and back. What a gorgeous beach..white sand with the most prestige clear blue water! We even spotted some dolphins and what we thought was a manatee one day. And it's worth a stroll out to the beach to witness the beautiful sunsets every night! Can't wait to return!
