About this property

Buddy’s Beach House 🌴 Private Heated Pool and Spa- Pet Friendly

Welcome to Buddy's Beach House. A beachy chic getaway just 2 blocks to the beach. Stroll to the beach with a beverage in one hand and your beach cart in the other. After soaking up the sun all day, walk to one of the many fine restaurants, only a few blocks away. Or hop on the free trolley, which travels the entire length of the island. There is no need to drive anywhere on your vacation, unless you want to.
Buddy's Beach house sleeps 4, featuring two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, plus a luxurious outdoor shower. Each bedroom has a queen size bed with fine linens, super comfy mattresses and huge closets with plenty of storage. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for mixing up the perfect concoction or just having a quick bite to eat. High speed wireless Internet access, digital cable, Roku and a DVD player are all also provided.
No need to bring coolers, umbrellas, beach chairs, beach towels or a beach bag, we supply it all. Pack the cooler, load up the beach cart and you're all set for a day at the beach.
Buddy's Beach House is dog friendly and all one level (no lugging luggage and coolers up and down stairs).
There are two Ring doorbells located on the lanai. I accept personal checks, Mastercard, Visa, Discover and American Express. For reservations more than 6 months in advance a payment plan is available. 1/3 at booking to hold your dates, 1/3 due 120 days in advance with the balance due 60 days prior to check in. Deposits will be refunded with 60 days notice of cancellation. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Anna Maria Island is a family community and the city imposes a strict noise ordinance. Please adhere to our good neighbor policy and observe the local quiet hours between 10 pm and 8 am. No loud music or use of the pool is allowed during these hours along with any other noise which may disturb the neighbors.

Great house and location!
Listing is spot on, location is fantastic with a really short walk to beach access. The access point was a great spot and less crowded than others. Christine is super responsive. The pool and backyard area is awesome! The beds are super comfortable and the house is very clean and stocked with all you need! We loved it here!

Amazing Beach Vacation
This was a great property for my wife and me and our 2 kids (3 and 1). The pool in the backyard was a huge hit. The beach was a quick walk each day. I felt the location was amazing and very central to the island and all it offers. We love AMI and will be returning. Our host was awesome and answered all of our questions and very easy to communicate with. We had an amazing vacation!

Amazing Experience!
This was a fantastic location for my wife and I to have our honeymoon. The house was very clean, the neighborhood and house security was very safe and secure, and it was in a great location. Christine was a fantastic host and communicated very well and clear with us about the process. I highly recommend this location for your next vacation stay!

About the host

Hosted by Christine Dugan

Host profile image
Buddy's Beach House is named after Buddy, my Old English Sheepdog. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2012 after blessing my life with 14 1/2 years of pure joy. Buddy's Beach House was created to keep his memory alive and give families the opportunity to bring their four legged family members on vacation.

Why they chose this property

Buddy's Beach House is the perfect house for a relaxing beach getaway. The resort like backyard has a brand new 16x26 heated pool and spa, a 1200 sq ft paver patio and new french doors off the master bedroom that lead to a private, luxurious outdoor shower with a rainfall shower head.

What makes this property unique

The house is located a few blocks from the only dog park on the island. There is a separate fenced in area for large and small dogs, fresh water and waste disposal amenities.

There is also a free trolley that runs the entire length of the island. Daily service on the trolley runs from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. every 20 minutes from the Anna Maria City Pier on the north to Coquina Beach (in the city of Bradenton Beach) on the south.

Trolley Stops are two to four blocks apart along the route and there are three main stops: Anna Maria City Pier, Manatee Public Beach, and Coquina Beach where the trolley will wait approximately three minutes before continuing the route.

In the city of Holmes Beach the Trolley runs north on Marina Drive and South on Gulf Drive. All Anna Maria Island Trolley stops have a green sign with a trolley on it and most of them have a covered seating area while you wait. Trolleys offer both air conditioned and open-air seating.
