It is the 2nd house from the beach with no roads to cross. The front yard is literally thirty steps from one of the most pristine beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. If you open the windows at night, you can hear the rolling surf and smell the salt air. The house is located on a quiet residential street near the north tip of the island. There is no public parking in this area so you pretty much have the beach to yourself. The front deck features a breathtaking gulf view and is a great place to watch the sunset. The house is clean, comfortable and well appointed. The back yard has a shed with some beach gear, a BBQ grill, picnic table and a sun sail shade. We welcome well behaved dogs and have a fully fenced yard for your pup to play. The house is light and bright with a multitude of windows showcasing fantastic views. Everything is decorated in a fun and classy "seaside" style. We believe in a good night's sleep so we invested in high quality memory foam mattresses, crisp, clean linens and plenty of pillows. For the chef in the family, there is a fully stocked kitchen with everything needed to cook and serve most meals. Nothing is more annoying than going to a vacation home that has only one pot and 3 plates! The house has high def smart TVs, bluetooth sound bar for streaming your favorite music and lightning fast wifi throughout. We are neat freaks so you can expect the house to be immaculately clean. In fact, we do a full deep cleaning after each guest. We tried to think of everything so you have all the comforts of home. The Village of Anna Maria, on the north tip of Anna Maria, is the best part of the island. It is known for beautiful beaches, breathtaking sunsets and a bunch of really nice people. Not surprisingly, our number one recommendation is to set up an umbrella, plop down on a beach chair and watch the waves roll in. If being a beach bum is not your thing, you can stay busy by hunting for seashells, building a sandcastle or trying your hand at surf fishing. Either way, we provide all the equipment and recommendations to make your day at the beach relaxing and enjoyable. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Day bed - Hypo-allergenic bedding ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Single level property - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golf - Tennis - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden - Unit size: 962 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21710000/21709700/21709690/fc5c24d5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Do you love the beach?

Just a few steps from the beach, you will not find a more serene spot on the island. The impeccable accommodations makes one want to redecorate their own home after a stay at this gorgeous house. This spot would be first on our list as the ideal place to stay again or to recommend to our friends.

Seaside Sanctuary was wonderful: clean, bright and cheerful, relaxing, and perfect for a beach vacation. The owners were very accomodating and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. I loved the proximity to the best part of the island- the north end with the wide beach and bird sanctuary. We also enjoyed Sign of the Mermaid and The Waterfront restaurants. I would recommend it to anyone needing a getaway from it all. My only regret was that we were there for only a few days! ##### Bob & Dawn W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose A.

My wife and I were blessed to rent this property for a quiet and peaceful getaway! The property is in prestine conditions and in a great location! We spent most of the time at the beach which is less than 100 steps from the shore. A true Santuary! Thank you Stephanie for your kindness during the entire process. We are already planning our next visit this year closer to fall. Thank you, thank you!! ##### Jose A.

Not even the bad weather on the day we arrived could take away from us feeling like we had booked the right place. We’ve been to AMI before but had not stayed here. This house had everything we needed. Stephanie was fantastic when we had a question. Thank you!! ##### Anita L. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul T. Jul 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Right at the beach Suited to a couple or a family with 1 or 2 children as the second bedroom has single beds suitable for children rather than 2 adults, however, our son and his girlfriend managed OK. The beach is literally 1 minute's walk and on return there is a hot shower to wash away sand from feet and shoes. We had the upstairs property and so had the balcony that we could use to eat breakfast or use the sun-loungers and enjoy the view. Stephanie, the property manager, was always available and helpful with quick responses to any questions. Plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from. If you want a relaxing break this is the place. ##### Paul T. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### wendy j.

You can see the gulf from the kitchen, living room, and deck. This is the upper unit and have to access by way of stairs which was no problem for us. A little warm in the main bedroom but it has a great ceiling fan and the bed was comfortable! It was unusually warm for the beginning of May though. Stephanie provided everything we needed. We Didn't need to purchase garbage bags, paper towels, TP. Etc. Check in/check out was super easy. We love AMI and this part of it especially. This has been my favorite of the 4 places we have rented. Loved being that close to the beach. I was a little nervous of doing a duplex but there were no issues with that. The people who stay and rent are respectful of one another. The only complaint is the amount of young people at the beach. Thongs, endless selfies, and loud music is not what this beach has been about in the past. Week days were quieter than weekends thankfully. If you sit closer to the water you only hear waves and see turqoise waters, that was the solution to that. This was a fantastic property and location. Will be back next year! We walked to Bean Point most mornings and were gifted with amazing sunrises, and great wildlife. Saw a Bald eagle on the beach, a few dolphin, many manatees, and a Manta Ray that completely breached the water. Loved watching the pelican's, sand pipers, and the Osprey that nests close by. Rod and Reel has a great breakfast and we love Hurrican Hanks for dinner. ##### wendy j.
