Up your vacation game and take relaxation to the next level at Once Upon A Tiki. Our five bedroom, single level home has everything you need for the beach vacation of your dreams.

The open design and beachy decor of the living room is the perfect gathering place while the chef in the family creates a meal in the fully equipped kitchen. With counter seating at the center island for five and a dining table for eight, everyone will have a place to dine. Patio doors on each side of the home provide natural light throughout the home with access to the outdoor spaces.

The master bedroom features a king size bed, en-suite bathroom and access to the backyard and pool through patio doors. Two of the additional guestrooms also have king sized beds and one has an ensuite bathroom. The kids in the family will love the bunk rooms, one with two sets of twin over twin bunk beds and the other with a set of full over queen bunk beds. Each bedroom has a TV and includes crisp linens and plush towels from our professional linen company. Your guests will stay connected with complimentary WFI and enjoy all of the comforts of home, including a washer and dryer.

Step outside and take in one of the largest backyards in Anna Maria! With a sparkling pool with in-pool lounge chairs, large sun deck, covered tiki hut with hammocks, patio lounge furniture and patio dining and back lanai with lounge furniture and TV. The outdoor fun never ends! A pool table, ping pong table, and cornhole set will provide endless fun for your family.

Once Upon a Tiki is located on one of Anna Maria's beautiful canals. With a dock for fishing and Adirondack chairs for watching the world go by, you may even be lucky enough to see manatee and some of the beautiful wild birds that call the island home.

Once Upon a Tiki is easy walking distance to many shops and restaurants, and less than a block to the free island trolley, which travels the entire length of the 7 miles of the island. Hop on and off at your leisure and explore shopping, dining and the beaches. The perfect location for your next beach vacation!

    This is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed in AMI. We loved the single story and not having to go down steps to the pool. The backyard is great. My grand boys loved playing ping pong, pool, and bags. The bedroom layouts were great for a family of eight. It took a while to get use to the induction stove/ oven. The fry pan has lost its coating so it was a challenge not to burn food even at a low heat. There is also a loose paver brick under the tiki outside that someone could trip and injure themselves. Next time we come to AMI, and we will, we will definitely stay at Once Upon a Tiki.Thank you

    The home was spacious and super clean. The property manager was quick to respond to all of our needs. The fishing off the dock was decent for our avid fishermen and the activities were plentiful for kids of all ages-we barely left the house! The beaches are close and the area has a quaint, small town vibe.

    We stayed here for a family vacation with our grown children and grandkids. This home is a perfect place to play and relax!! Backyard is amazing, and beach is super close. We have stayed many places...this time they all asked if we could just stay in this house again. I'm the check out every spot before booking person - fortunately we found this gem and would not even look for another! We will be back!

    We had a wonderful stay at Once Upon a Tikki! As a four generation family we were looking for something to serve everyone's needs. This property had it all! Separate, quiet sleeping space, plenty of beds (which were all comfy,) one floor living, open spaces with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, entertainment, this had it all! The home was tastefully decorated, clean, well stocked with kitchen amenities, indoor & outdoor games, two refrigerators and a garage ice chest! Thank you for sharing your lovely home. No complaints from this crew!

    Great property for family with small children,(we had 6 adults and 4 kids under the age of 3) all one level with plenty of room, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and outdoor shower, open kitchen and living area with easy access to Backyard and pool area. Back yard had plenty of tables and chairs , pool had a very shallow end for small kids and backyard area had plenty of games for adults as well as fishing from dock. Close to town and beaches. Really enjoyed our time there.

    The backyard was perfect for our group mix of little kids and older kids and adults! There was something for everyone and the canal is perfect to fish in. The rooms are a nice size. The industrial sized ice maker in the garage was great for filling up the cooler for the beach and just for drinks in general. The location is nice and close to a few good restaurants and beaches.
