Anna Maria Island Rentals - Beach Front - Angels Envy -Rod & Reel Pier Retreat

Just returned from our stay and cannot explain how amazing of a time we had!! We saw dolphins and manatees EVERY day and even had some swim right by us when we were floating in the ocean! How often can you stay in a place that is literally STEPS down into the crystal-clear ocean? The house was great and was so soothing at the end of a long day in the sun. Joe was always super quick to respond to any questions and always very helpful - thanks for sharing your beautiful home!

Fantastic house on the bay! Fantastic price too! Perfect for our family of four. We felt lucky the whole week to be right on the bay (sunrises, dolphins, manatees!). Our two teen boys loved to fish early in the morning and in the evening. 5 minute walk to Bean point beach. We will be back!

Great owner, great location, wonderful view! Condo has everything you need and then some. Beds are one of my biggest needs, normally they are horrible and kill my back but this condo has amazing beds. This was the first trip to AMI and we didn't want to leave. Hubby found 2 bags of nice bigger shells in the ocean for the grands right out the back yard. The dolphins would come all the way up to the wall.

Our stay at the house on Anna Maria Island was absolutely wonderful. The home was exactly as described and had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with every utensil imaginable, along with thoughtful basic pantry items. The cleanliness was outstanding, and the view was simply amazing. One of our favorite parts was seeing manatees and dolphins every single day right from the property.Joe was an incredible host — friendly, responsive, and always willing to help in any way he could. He truly made the experience even better. We would absolutely recommend staying here and would love to return ourselves.

Very clean. Beautiful bay view. Peaceful.

Great house and it is right on the water. We saw manatees, an Egret walk right in front of the home, and lots of bird activity. Excellent sun rises and an easy walk to Bean Point for the Sunsets. Walk to the Waterfront Restaurant. Excellent food but plan early as there is always an hour wait. Joe the owner was easy to text to and his home has the perfect vacation because of the location. Looking forward to spending another week at Joe's home.

A lovely beach house. Very clean and welcoming. It had everything we needed! We would stay again!

Closest property to the water on the island! If you choose to do some cooking, Joe has every cooking utensil in the world….true gourmet kitchen.

Fabulous!!! Love all the updates post hurricane!! Angel’s Envy is our favorite place to stay on AMI!! Thank you Joe for sharing your home!!

Loved our vacation. Home was clean, well appointed and on the water! Amazing views! Great swimming. Saw dolphins and manatee.

Oh my, where do I start?! The pictures are 1/10th of how beautiful this place is! Clean, well appointed, beautiful and the best location on the island, truly! You have a private beach and step into the ocean whenever you want. It’s a resort in itself. If you want to get away from everything and feel like you’re on your own island, this place is for you. Joe was awesome to communicate with. We cannot wait to go back! Two thumbs up and a million stars! Thank you, Joe!

Location is great, super comfortable and everything you might need in the kitchen. Watch sunrise from deck and sunsets at Bean Point! Lots of towels for house and beach!

Love seeing the ocean everyday from the deck! Very clean and easy access. Deck could use an outside string lights or something to see better. All in all loved our stay, saw dolphins and a manatee. Was a great spot for snorkeling seeing fish and collecting sea shells! Beautiful sunrises each morning! Loved being on the bay side of the ocean as it was quiet too!

Check in was easy. Unit was very clean. Beautiful views from the back deck. Close to Pine, so very close to everything. Joe was great to work with and very responsive.

Beautiful home. Spectacular view right from the deck. We saw dolphins every morning. Enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets every day

Great host, great house and great location!!

This was a great vacation house, and the host was very professional. We would stay there again.

We had a great time at Joe's house. He was available anytime we had a question. The house is wonderful and has the most amazing views. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and all the seasonings you need for a great meal. We did get to experience record breaking low temperatures and a fierce wind. That was certainly fun and unexpected. Hope to get back there again.

The most well equipped VRBO that I’ve ever stayed in. Joe was extremely responsive, highly recommend!

We’ve stayed at this property multiple times - great updated house, excellent host, best location.

Stayed at Angel’s Envy 9/13-19 2025. Perfect vacation and it all started with This lovely property that we had the privilege to stay at. Location was perfect. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful home close to everything. We rented a golf cart and was able to get to all beaches and restaurants in minutes. Let’s get to the house details. Joes home was beautiful!! Sitting on the deck overlooking the ocean was an attraction in itself. Watching the birds dive into the water hunting for fish was amazing to watch. We saw dolphins jump, saw a manatee pass by. Loved seeing this every day while having our morning coffee. The home had everything we needed. Impeccably clean. I will be back soon. Joe, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with me and my husband. We had a perfect vacation.

Great location. Good communication. Easy working with Joe on the rental. Much appreciated.

Angel’s Envy was the perfect respite. As soon as you walk in, you know you are home. Spent every morning watching sunrises and every evening with beautiful sunsets. Joe has supplied you with everything you need to just relax and enjoy. Super clean rooms and a wonderful kitchen to cook in. So close to everything, yet secluded enough for peace and quiet. The dolphins, manatees, birds, with a surprise appearance of a stingray, kept us entertained. Joe was an amazing host. Very responsive to our needs. If you are lucky enough to stay at his place, go out to the private beach and say hello to Bubba Bear . You will be glad for a wonderful experience. Thanks Joe! We appreciate you sharing your lovely home with us.

Without a doubt, the best place we've visited in a while! The most beautiful sunrise from the house's oceanfront balcony! Excellent communication with the management! Not to mention the dolphins and manatees right in front of you every day! We'll definitely be back.

The home was beautiful and location was even better!!

Privacy! Peaceful and the view was amazing. Wonderful location. House had everything we needed. Daily manatee and dolphins swimming very close to where we were. Steps to bean point sunsets. Close to restaurants. If you’re looking to relax and wind down this is your spot.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home! It was literally right on the water, and we enjoyed that tremendously! The views and the sunrises were MAGNIFICENT! The host was very good about answering questions…, and I am a talker! lol... He never seemed to mind my asking questions, as I was making sure that I was packing what we’d need there. Honestly, he provided more “extras” than I’ve ever seen also: he goes above and beyond! The house was probably the cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed in: pure perfection! I give the host and this house the highest rating possible!

I can sum this trip in one word, “WOW”. The property location was exceptional. Joe, the owner communicated with us and made us feel at home. His house was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Everything involved with this property and location is a 10. We watched the sunrises in the morning with the dolphins, manatees, stingrays, blue herons, and wildlife. You won’t need to bring anything really because Joe had a grill, umbrellas, fishing gear, swim towels, all the items you need in a kitchen, I mean everything. We are so happy we picked Joe’s property! We will be back again for sure. Thank you Joe for hosting us and making our granddaughters 18th birthday special! We will keep in touch. Thank you and God Bless.

The house is beautiful. Very clean with lots of amenities. The location couldn't of been any better. I would highly recommend staying here.

First time on Anna Maria Island, and loved it! The angels envy was a perfect location to stay in for us. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and the kitchen was amazing! Joe was a very attentive host and quick to respond. We loved having the beach in the backyard, but just know there is no additional beach beyond the sea wall. A great spot to float and fish! The dolphins and manatees were amazing to watch throughout the day along with the beautiful sunrise in the morning and a five minute walk to beautiful sunsets! The beaches are beautiful with the softest sand ever. We enjoyed having a rental car to explore, kayaking, walking paths on the preserves and the unbelievable restaurants close by. We chose not to do golf cart and or bikes, but keep that in mind. Rentals are everywhere. There is a lot of recovery reconstruction going on but it’s amazing. How much has been completed. Thank you Joe for an amazing experience!

My girlfriends and I are grateful to Joe for offering his beautiful home to rent and enjoy. Joe communicated with us throughout the catastrophic hurricanes and took every measure to accommodate our needs. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Joe's home is spectacular and had been updated and refurnished. His home was appointed with everything we needed for our comfort, entertainment, relaxation, and enjoyment. The rent is a great value considering such spectacular, unobstructed views and selfishly enjoying them without neighbors or being among a multi-unit property.Every day we were greeted with the most colorful and glorious sunrises, meandering manatees, rambunctious rays, salty sea birds, and delightful dolphins frolicking mere feet from us. Our cheeks were gently kissed by a fresh ocean breeze and we were mesmerized by the waves lapping outside our door with water colored every shade of blue and green which nourished our souls. Joe was an attentive host and responded quickly to our questions and needs leading up to and during our stay.The houses on either side were impacted by the devastating hurricanes and at various stages of disrepair. We felt it gave us a greater deal of privacy to enjoy the majestic views from the deck and ground level lounge chairs.Joe, we LOVED your place. Thank you for everything! You are the host every other should aspire to become. Hope to be back soon. Lisa, Michelle, and Tara.

We stayed at Angel’s Envy and it was our first time on Anna Maria Island. We loved the charm of the island and the location of the house. What a view! We watched the sunrise every morning and saw dolphins every day. The house was newly renovated and fit our family perfectly. Between the house and backyard it had everything we needed and there were days that we skipped the beach to hang out on the bay. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials needed and we were able to cook many of our meals. Would definitely like to come back to stay. Joe was a very gracious host.

We really enjoyed this house, it had everything we needed and more. The owner was very responsive. Close to everything! The dolphin watching off the deck was the best. The house could use a full length mirror for the ladies getting ready. Lol. But all, in all it was a great place to stay, very homey.

We had an unbelievable week. Joe was great to work with. First time here and we absolutely loved it. Will definitely be back!

We stayed March 16-28. Had a wonderful time. Joe is very responsive and communicative. The island is super crowded during March, but we were able to navigate through the traffic jams. We enjoyed sitting on the upper deck and watch the sunrise and then watch the dolphins in the evenings.

This place is nicer than I expected. Very comfortable peaceful home with perfect location. I walked bean point every morning to find whole sand dollars. The dolphins play continuously out front and they came very close to me while paddle boarding. Comfortable beds and the kitchen has everything we needed. We actually never went out to eat. Thank you Joe! .

We really enjoyed our week at Angels Envy. House is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is very well supplied and made life easy for us. With the beautiful view we ate most of our meals in We fell in love with this little house

We were favorably impressed when we entered the house and saw the set up of the house and the amazing view of the water right in front.We enjoyed the morning sunrises from the porch, and frequently walked to nearby Bean point beach to see spectacular sunsets.Joe was a very responsive host, handled everything quickly.He responded to all of our questions within minutes.The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We could walk to.several restaurants and others were just a short drive away. We’d love to stay there again!

Great!
