About this property

Bungalow On The Bayou (Best Location on the Island)

Located on the "best" street on Anna Maria Island, this two-bedroom, one-bath second floor vacation rental with a spectacular view was completely renovated at the end of 2015. The renovation included basically everything from floor to ceiling. Notice the pictures and reviews, they speak for themselves.

Growing up about 15 minutes off the island and enjoying the beach so much, my wife and I (and three kids) decided to purchase our piece of paradise. We found this "bungalow" in the Bayou and just couldn't pass it up. We knew we wanted to be on the water with our own boat dock and on the north end of Anna Maria. We found this location to be absolutely perfect. The views are incredible. Anna Maria Sound view's galore.

The bungalow is on historic Pine Ave. It is very close to everything a vacationer could want. Fabulous restaurants, ice cream shops, shopping, fishing, amazing beaches, breath-taking sunsets and more. Anna Maria Island has been chosen as the #3 prettiest city in the country and also in the top 10 "Island Beaches for Perfect Sand". Drive to our Bungalow and park your car for your entire stay. The free island trolley has a stop right outside your door and goes up and down the spectacular 7 mile island seven days a week. Fish and kayak from your own dock. Absolute paradise!

Watching the Bay from the Bungalow
So relaxing sitting on the balcony or in front of the sliding door looking out to Tampa Bay at the end of each day. Each night was quiet (beds were so comfortable) yet all conveniences were close in the quaint town of Anna Maria. What a lovely community and friendly, helpful people in and around the town. Great ice-cream, Pizza, coffee and donuts all within walking distance. We spent our days exploring and hiking nearby nature preserves, beaches state and federal parks. Great trails and lots of wildlife on land and in the water. A highlight for us was spotting two dolphins with their babies in the Bay. We also had the excitement of meeting Santa and celebrations as the town's parade ended at the pier weekend of Dec 8th. Kitchen was well supplied with items needed to cook and enjoy our meals each day. We would stay at the Bungalow on the Bayou again.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

We absolutely fell in love with this the moment we saw it. It had the dock we wanted, the water views and was on the best street on the island. Once you get here, you can park your car for the remainder of your stay. The free trolley runs everyday. Absolute paradise!
