Anna Maria, Florida
Located on the "best" street on Anna Maria Island, this two-bedroom, one-bath second floor vacation rental with a spectacular view was completely renovated at the end of 2015. The renovation included basically everything from floor to ceiling. Notice the pictures and reviews, they speak for themselves.
Growing up about 15 minutes off the island and enjoying the beach so much, my wife and I (and three kids) decided to purchase our piece of paradise. We found this "bungalow" in the Bayou and just couldn't pass it up. We knew we wanted to be on the water with our own boat dock and on the north end of Anna Maria. We found this location to be absolutely perfect. The views are incredible. Anna Maria Sound view's galore.
The bungalow is on historic Pine Ave. It is very close to everything a vacationer could want. Fabulous restaurants, ice cream shops, shopping, fishing, amazing beaches, breath-taking sunsets and more. Anna Maria Island has been chosen as the #3 prettiest city in the country and also in the top 10 "Island Beaches for Perfect Sand". Drive to our Bungalow and park your car for your entire stay. The free island trolley has a stop right outside your door and goes up and down the spectacular 7 mile island seven days a week. Fish and kayak from your own dock. Absolute paradise!
This was all we expected plus the host was excellent and very responsive to all questions we had. Very convenient location
Excellent renovated condo, 2 min walk to shopping/dining on Pine Ave. and Anna Maria Pier. Perfect spot, we'll be back!
So relaxing sitting on the balcony or in front of the sliding door looking out to Tampa Bay at the end of each day. Each night was quiet (beds were so comfortable) yet all conveniences were close in the quaint town of Anna Maria. What a lovely community and friendly, helpful people in and around the town. Great ice-cream, Pizza, coffee and donuts all within walking distance. We spent our days exploring and hiking nearby nature preserves, beaches state and federal parks. Great trails and lots of wildlife on land and in the water. A highlight for us was spotting two dolphins with their babies in the Bay. We also had the excitement of meeting Santa and celebrations as the town's parade ended at the pier weekend of Dec 8th. Kitchen was well supplied with items needed to cook and enjoy our meals each day. We would stay at the Bungalow on the Bayou again.
The Bungalow on the Bayou was the perfect getaway! Neat, clean, and had everything I needed - especially the table on the deck. I can’t wait to go back!
Very nice. Great location
Great location with beautiful views of the bay and canal. Having access to a kayak was awesome. Manatees swam by the dock every day. I would highly recommend this condo. Has everything you need and the hosts were helpful and attentive. Will be back.
This condo is as shown in photos. Nice view of the canal and bay in the distance. Easy walk to the pier and shops and restaurants. We did see dolphins and a manatee in the canal and sat out there numerous times. We love nature so watching the birds and fish is part of our vacation. Even the ducks living there made us smile. We took the kayak out which was nice. Didn't see much this time but last year we saw tons of sea life and birds. The park next door has play equipment for kids and on Sunday had live music. It's half a mile to the beach. Beach cart, 4 chairs and an umbrella and cooler were there but we only used the chairs to sit by the canal. We drove to the beach, it was too hot to walk. Beach at the end of Pine is like the Caribbean! Such clear and shallow water. AC was very cold. :) liked the plantation shutters. Some light came in but they are better than blinds. Only thing I would change is some of the furniture. Balcony furniture isn't comfy and the sofa wasn't really either, for us anyway. It may make a better sleeper than a sofa. The other 2 chairs in there were good. And an electronic lock would have been great. No keys to lose! Also needed some more pots and pans with lids. The rice pot didn't have a lid. Owners were very responsive and nice people. We were the only people in the entire building, so the complex was very quiet. 2nd time in this location. It's quiet and away from the action but plenty is nearby. Loved the Sandbar! And 2 Scoops.
We loved the location of condo! The condo was so cute and furnished well! Definitely will rebook again!
Fabulous location----accessible to beaches and restaurants----beautiful canal views from deck area. Appreciated owner also provided beach chairs. We would stay here again.
Great location
We really enjoyed our stay at the condo. We loved having the dock where we could watch the wildlife every day. We were within walking distance of the Anna Maria city pier as well as a few restaurants, stores, and ice cream shops. The general store was just a few minutes away. We walked to the bay beaches (3 minutes) and the ocean beaches (10 minutes). We rented bikes so we could bike around the island. My son loved the fishing gear and we enjoyed the kayak. We used the beach chairs and boogie boards as well. This location is ideal. I’m so glad we stayed here - we had everything we needed.
This was a peaceful, clean property with easy access to everything we needed. It was within walking distance to several restaurants and ice cream parlors, as well as bayside beach access. It is a good place for couples or small families.
Shhhh! Do not consider my review when making your accomodations decision. I wish to keep this gem my secret to ensure future availability to me. There's so much to dislike anyway so just stop reading now. You'll hate that the location is perfection, making access to the beaches, top rated restaurants, shopping, general store, coffee shops and rental companies outside your door. You'll be disappointed that the condo owner is super friendly, attentive and accommodating. You'll be disappointed when you show up to the condo to find it tidy, charmingly decorated and stocked with everything you could possibly need to experience your best vacation. You'll roll your eyes that you can spend early mornings and evenings watching manatees and dolphins feeding. Pfft, not what you want, right? Good! It's my little piece of heaven and my secret. Promise you won't tell!
We enjoyed walking/riding bikes to area restaurants, walking out to the pier every morning to see the sun rise, fishing/kayaking off of the docks.
