2 Minute Walk to Beach - Spacious Family-Friendly Home with Heated Pool

You're a short 2 minute walk from the white sand beach on Anna Maria Island! Walk right (south) out the front door, turn right and then you're just 62 steps to the Gulf of Mexico.

This spacious home comfortably sleeps 6 adults and 2 children in its 4 large bedrooms. The floor plan is family-friendly with bedrooms split 2 & 2 and paired with a bathroom on opposite ends of the house with a pocket door for additional privacy. You and the kids will love the private heated saltwater pool. Or head across the street to the white-sand beach to enjoy an afternoon of sunshine. You'll probably see a couple dolphins or even a manatee swim by.

We offer contactless keypad check-in (you'll receive a code to open/lock door). Other than food/drinks, we supply just about everything you'll need: a fully-stocked kitchen complete with pots/pans, dishes, wine glasses, utensils, coffee, spices, air fryer, blender, washer/dryer, towels, soap, shampoo, Wifi, cable TV, and a vinyl turntable with blue-tooth capabilities. There's also a canopy tent, Pack 'n Play, high chair, and booster seat for your little ones.

You're beach-ready: just load our beach chairs & towels into our handy wagon for an easy 2-minute walk to the beach.

The home is less than a mile from the local Publix grocery store, Walgreens and CVS. Hop aboard the free air-conditioned trolley that takes you to the many locally-owned restaurants and bars. We left a list of our favorites inside the house.

Shop the boutiques along Pine Avenue & dine at The Sand Bar. Choose homemade donuts from The Donut Experiment or a romantic dinner at The Waterfront Restaurant. Neighboring Holmes Beach features more dining options: The Ugly Grouper, The Porch and Isola Bella. Sip on craft cocktails at The Doctor's Office (an old doctor's office-turned-craft cocktail bar). Head to Bridge Street for live music at Island Time or the Blue Marlin, play a round of mini golf at The Fish Hole, enjoy ocean-front dining at The Beach House, or sip on frozen cocktails at the scenic Daiquiri Deck.

Take the water taxi from Anna Maria Pier or Bridge Street to downtown Bradenton. Longboat Key is a 5-minute ride down Gulf Blvd. where date-night dining options include Shore LBK and Whitney's.

The world-famous Siesta Key beach is a scenic 45-minutes away. The Ringling Museum and the many boutiques on St. Armand’s Circle are even closer.

Kayak at the gorgeous Robinson Preserve in nearby Bradenton or bike the scenic Legacy Path between Venice and Sarasota. If you're looking to experience all of Disney's magic, Orlando is a 2-1/2 hour car ride.

Fly into Sarasota airport (SRQ) for a quick 25-minute ride to the house while Tampa (TPA) is just over an hour away.

*Please Note: the entire Island was affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Our property lost a lot of palm trees and greenery in the backyard which we replanted/replaced in late-2024.

While unusual, unseasonably cold winter temperatures (40s-50s) may keep the pool from reaching 83 degrees.

Small & medium-sized dogs under 50 lbs. only are welcome with a non-refundable $100 fee. (Please note: there are absolutely no exceptions for dogs over 50 lbs.)

We know you'll enjoy Anna Maria Island as much as we do!

Awesome location and property

Communication with the owners was excellent- even after the devastating hurricane last October. They were very forthcoming about the status of the house and property. The beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed. All beach stuff included was a huge bonus and the location is perfect We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing home!

This home was even better than we expected! The location is great, 2 minutes to the beach and they had beach chairs, beach wagon, boogie boards… If you’re wondering if the island is ok to visit after the hurricane… IT IS!! Almost everything open, debris is cleaned up and this home in particular is gorgeous!! The comfy beds and beautiful pool was a bonus!! If you’re looking to visit AMI, this is the home to rent!

10 plus!

This property exceeded our expectations. For many years, we have driven to Florida from Michigan in order to bring all the supplies we feel we need for a great vacation however, this year we decided to fly. This rental had everything we needed - pool toys, beach toys, towels, kitchen equipment, grill, spices, , etc….Very clean and spacious. My daughter’s family slept in the 2 rooms on 1 end of house and wife, son and I on the other end. Grandkids loved the pool. We have visited the island several times before but always stay on the north end in Holmes Beach . Love this area as less traffic, quieter and beach is right around the corner. If looking for action it’s just a short walk to Bridge Street Pier. Communication with owners was great- already looking into booking for next year!

Wonderful home and a great location. All the amenities you need and everything you need for the beach were available to you. The pool was our families favorite feature by far. There could be a few repairs made to make it the perfect home away from home. We really enjoyed our stay and the hospitality and quick responses from Todd. I’d love to return again!

We stayed wirh another family- 7 in total and Yacht Rock Ranch was the perfect spot for us! The house is exactly as pictured. The pool was fantastic; it gets shade from about 4pm on this time of year. The beach is as close as the listing states and no long path once you go through the access point. Todd was a great communicator and made sure we had everything we needed. We couldn't have picked a better property for our trip to paradise!

Good stay

We enjoyed a stayed here over Thanksgiving. The walk to the beach was easy with young kids and the wagon for beach chairs and toys was much appreciated! The pool area was probably one of our favorite features of the property. It was nice to enjoy the pool without others invading your space. All in all, it was a great house for our family to enjoy. I do think some of the rugs in the home could be cleaned or replaced, but that didn’t affect our stay so I didn’t remove any stars for it. Check out instructions were fairly simple and did not feel overwhelming.

Great location

2 minute walk to the beach. The backyard pool was wonderful. Private and protected by lush vegetation. We spent most of our afternoons enjoying the pool. House was very comfortable and was perfect for the 5 adults' and 2 children. Todd was very responsive whenever I had a question and to illustrate that we had a minor issue with the A/C in the house. He had a technician there within 90 minutes of the problem, at 9:30 pm no less. Would highly recommend the home. Todd is a great host. We had a very memorable vacation.
