Tropical Beach Apartment - Sunny Patio - 75 Steps to Beach - Bamboo Apts. #3

Our five unit property was featured in the January/February 2020 issue of Southern Living, and we are honored and thrilled. We have over 150 feet of private beach access, with six spacious, uncrowded Gulf front patios shared by all units, with comfy loungers, and complimentary beach gear. Your own private patio is located at your door. Our place is quiet and most of our guests are small families or couples looking to escape the bitter winter cold.

We are ranked #1 by a well known travel site for Specialty Lodging on Anna Maria, have terrific Google Reviews and are long time members of the AMI Chamber of Commerce.

Many of our guests are repeat visitors, and we d love to add you to our list of happy beach-goers.

We don t believe in hard sell marketing and our photos are true- no surprises upon arrival.

Our place is a very simple, clean, quiet beach place-- a lot of people call it "Old Florida." We were "Old Florida" before it was even a thing. If you are looking for a fancy condo with granite counters and leather furniture, we are not it. We have designed our accommodations to be simple, carefree, beachy, and comfortable-- perfect for a few nights, or a longer stay. We have a recliner in the living room where you can nap or read or watch the ball game.
There are no busy streets to cross; we are one house back from the soft white sand. Our place is not fancy- but it is immaculately cleaned and maintained and fully equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels. We have kept our prices reasonable so that you can stay longer- and our full kitchens let you make breakfast and lunch at home, and venture out to eat for supper--perfect if you are traveling with little ones.

Our small, five unit complex is right on the Gulf, with fragrant tropical gardens, beach front patios and grills, and an individual sun patio to call your own, complete with table, chairs, and umbrella. Relax and read the paper in the mornings, or enjoy supper and watch the sunset. We encourage afternoon naps!

The interior is decorated with a tropical vibe, including rattan furniture in the bedroom, dining room, and living area- but we have kept and reupholstered everyones favorite vintage easy chairs. Be sure to look at our framed collection of black and white beach photos taken on the property in the 1930 s and 1940 s.

The bedroom has a king-sized bed and walk-in closet. The queen size sleeper sofa in the living room accommodates two more people comfortably.

The Cafe on the Beach for all-you-can-eat pancake breakfasts, casual lunches, and relaxing dinners is just a few steps away. Grocery stores and restaurants are 3 blocks away, and the free trolley will take you up and down the Island.

We have four other VRBO units located on this property -- VRBO 77482 and VRBO 327896 (our duplex cottage) and VRBO 82848 and VRBO 738184, which are fairly similar to this listing.

Holmes Beach apartment
This property was absolutely perfect for us. Loved the beach being a few steps away and all the patio furniture in front and behind the building. It was peaceful and quiet. We were able to check in a little early. Owner had a sweet welcome sign to us on the door and a Welcome basket of goodies waiting on the table. Great little Tiki bar and restaraunt right next door with live music every night. I would definately come back and stay much longer next time. Anna Maria Island is the best. We also loved having a shuttle that was free running all day and into the evening. Thank you to the owners for their hospitality.

Hidden treasure!
We were pleasantly surprised on our first trip to Anna Maria Island to have chosen the perfect place to call home for a week. Our cottage had everything necessary, was very clean and comfortable, with beautiful outside gardens. The fact that we were on the most beautiful private beach within 75 steps through the backyard was amazing....the sunsets even better. Alice is a wonderful person and host, and extremely accommodating. We plan to return to the Bamboo Apartments again, but next time for a longer stay!!

Tropical Time Capsule
Bamboo Apartments is a quaint semi secluded tropical getaway that makes you feel you opened a time capsule of the past. I felt the world around slip away as I relaxed amongst the tropical landscaping and enjoyed the cool ocean sounds and breeze. I just wish I could have stayed longer. Alice is very accommodating and helpful. The unit was exceptional clean and we had everything we needed.

Unbelievable!!
What a spectacular place to stay. Steps to the beach, steps to wonderful food and drink. Very old school Florida and wonderfully kept up. We met the owner and got some history of the Bamboo Apartments which made the stay even better. It was more than advertised. We'll definitely be back. Thanks Alice for such a wonderful place!!

Vacation getaway
My family had the best time at Anna Maria Island. The location of the apartment was perfect with the beach at your back door. The apartment was spotlessly clean and there was a nice welcome basket waiting when we checked in.

Quiet/ Relaxing Stay
Everything was as described and was a very quiet, relaxing place. We had everything we needed plus some and the bonus of the Beach was steps away. Looking for place to really relax, this is it! Definitely recommend and will be returning. Thank you, Lisa
