Anna Maria Island Surfside Bungalow

This sun-drenched 3br/3ba tropical beach cottage is centrally located by Holmes Beach in the heart of Anna Maria. It has been described as one of the “prettiest vacation homes on the island.” The authentic 1947 beach bungalow has been completely renovated with raised ceilings, travertine floors, granite countertops, and all new plumbing, electric, drywall, windows, doors, and appliances. There is crown molding throughout, and every door and window is fully trimmed with rosettes. Professionally designed with contemporary furnishings and fixtures, this historic bungalow has been stylishly reimagined and glows with cottage charm, elegance, and attention to detail.

Situated on a quiet road, nestled within lush tropical gardens beside a lagoon pool area and a private, elegant paver patio, this cottage is a contemporary paradise, perfect for families, couples, and groups of friends. Best of all, this cottage is just steps from sugar white sand beaches and the turquoise Gulf of Mexico.
