DESCRIPTION:
This home is a newly renovated single-family waterfront home directly on a canal with spectacular outdoor space with multiple decks and both bay and canal views! The home is situated at the north end of the island within an easy bike or golf cart ride to Anna Maria's Pine Avenue shops, the bayside beach, Anna Maria City Pier and gulf-side beaches!  

Every amenity was thought of when this home was lovingly renovated!  This home is so much fun you may never even want to leave.... bikes, kayak, SUP boards, multiple games, bocce, firepit, cornhole, and foosball!

The home's ground floor has a one car garage and indoor/outdoor space with sitting area, TV and extra fridge.  The pool is heated year-round, and the spa provides some extra warmth and relaxation at the end of hard day at the beach. The home has two grills, gas and charcoal, as well as an outdoor shower! This home also has a large private dock so you can bring your own boat and store in your own backyard!

Head upstairs to the home's main living floor and you will find a gorgeous open concept living, dining, kitchen area.  The huge kitchen island and breakfast bar has counter seating with stainless steel high-end appliances and every kitchen gizmo and gadget imaginable fit for every chef's need. You will be able to whip some fabulous meals at home or prep some libations for entertaining on one of the home's spacious covered balconies! There are two balconies on the first floor alone off both the front and back of the home with plenty of seating!

The main floor is also home to one king bed master suite with closet, TV and en-suite full bathroom with tub/shower combination accessible from the living room as well.  The living room has games and large screen TV for enjoying some family time as well as washer and dryer.

Wind up the stairs and you will find the top floor has 3 additional bedrooms.  There is a queen bedroom with closet, TV and full en-suite bath with walk in shower also accessible from the hallway.  The 'family room' has a TRIPLE (twin) bunk as well as queen bed, closet, and TV. The final MASTER SUITE with king bed and TV boasts a sprawling master bathroom with separate closet, toilet closet, soaking tub, huge walk-in shower, double sinks, and even its own wine/coffee bar!

The top floor has two additional covered decks off the front and back of this home with bay and canal views respectively. This home is truly going to be a home that you will want to come visit again and again for your AMI vacations!

Conveniently situated just steps away from water access, our property offers the perfect launching point for your aquatic adventures. With clearly marked signage, accessing the water for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and more is a breeze. If you're looking to soak up some sun on the beach, Bayfront Park on the bay side or a leisurely stroll down Magnolia to the Gulf of Mexico (a mere 15-minute walk) provides picturesque waterfront settings for your enjoyment. For added convenience, our location boasts easy access to the nearest free trolley stop, just a 7-minute walk north, allowing you to explore the Gulf side of the island with ease. Embrace the coastal lifestyle and make the most of your stay with us!

Spas may not be operational during the months of June - September to avoid high temperatures of pool water which is detrimental to keeping proper pool chemical balances.

Failure to abide may result in guests being fined or liable for any damages to equipment.

Wonderful Time
This house was perfect in so many ways. It had great views, beautifully decorated, comfy beds, and all the essentials we needed. The location was great too. Close to restaurants, shopping and beaches. Would definitely rent this one again.

This was our first visit to AMI. We loved this house. It is beautiful and convenient! The ping pong and corn hole in the garage were a big bonus. We were traveling with teenagers, and they used this space everyday. The house is spotless and has all that you need for a wonderful vacation!

We loved our vacation at Seaswept. My family and I stayed there for Mothers day and had such a great time. The house is perfectly located to everything and there is a beach across the street that we walked to every day. The house is very clean and has everything you would need including a fan in one of the bedrooms. (Thank God). I cannot sleep without the noise of a fan :-). We created memories that will last a life time and we have already booked our next vacation here in October. Onceuponabeach was great to deal with and I give this house 5 stars.

We have been staying in VRBO properties for 15 years. Seaswept Mermaid is in our top THREE. The house is immaculate, has all the amenities you need for adults and kids, steps away from a beach, a short walk or golf cart ride to food and shopping, and the pool/hot tub/decks are just what you need in a Florida home. We were two families in this house and never felt crowded. You can sit on the front deck and watch the sunrise, or watch the afternoon/evening thunderstorms. You can sit on the back deck and enjoy the peace and quiet. You can easily paddle board or kayak on the ocean or canal. The amenities that they provide including ample cooking utensils, pots, pans, dishes, beach/pool towels are by far the best of any VRBO we have stayed in. The communication from Once upon a beach from booking to departure was top notch. HIGHLY recommend checking out this property. You will love it.

We traveled to AMI to have one last family vacation before dropping our son off at IMG. While I cried MANY times during the week prior to saying goodbye, WE ABSOLUTELY HAD A BLAST!!! The house was perfect for us and our three teenage boys....the pool, hot tub, paddle boards, bocce ball, bikes and the kayak provided hours of fun and so many LAUGHS for us! The location was extremely convenient--such an easy trek to the beach and dining. The beds were extremely comfy, stocked kitchen and grill made for easy meals, and modern furnishings and decor provided a lovely atmosphere to kick up our feet and feel right at home. Zero complaints about this house and truly hated when we had to leave.

The photos for this home were spot-on. Our family members loved everything this house had to offer including the spacious decks, pool/hot tub and so many games and activities that we all loved. Having the kayak and paddleboards clean and ready right there allowed many of us adults and kids to try it for the first time! House was clean and spacious and had such beautiful views. Appreciated having two refrigerators. Very walkable to the beach. Great gathering space for our special celebration. No issues with bugs this time of year near the dock. Rental company was very easy to work with. Only suggestions I would make are the stairs between the upper floor and main floor are very slippery and could use some grippers or runners; also a few more pans for those who cook a lot; child alarm in the bunk bed room like on the other deck doors. Would love to return again if we are able. Thanks for the experience!

This property is not only functional but beautiful as well. On an inlet and the older kids paddle boarded or kayaked near daily. We had dolphins show up in the inlet as well so fun to watch them play! Tons of room and hit with the kids to be able to play video games at night yet no need to be on screens during the day with so much to do. We also rented a golf cart from them which was ideal for exploring the island :). So much in walking distance. Heated pool and hot tub were a hit for the cool nights and one rainy day! Thank you for the amazing time. We will be back!

How deep is the water at the dock during low tide? We want to bring our boat.

shannon r - Posted: 07/19/2023

Answer:

Thank you for reaching out with your question about the water depth at the dock.

The depth of the water at the dock can vary due to the changing tides. However, I’m pleased to inform you that the dock is situated on a deep water canal, which has been dredged to accommodate boaters. Even at low tide, the depth should generally be sufficient for most boats.

If you have any specific concerns or need further details, feel free to let us know. We’re here to help ensure your boating experience is as smooth as possible.

Hi there! My friends and I, seven middle-aged woman, are going to be traveling to Anna Maria for a girls beach trip in May. I can see some games and beach gear in one of the photos but I can't tell how many beach chairs you provide. We'll be flying in, so it's not possible to bring our own and I'd rather not have to go buy some. Can you please tell me how many you supply. Thanks, Gina

Gina B - Posted: 01/17/2024

Answer:

We do not guarantee any amenities other than what is provided in our Starter Set in the homes; however, every reservation now includes a credit towards personalized beach gear rental with your stay. Choose from a variety of items like chairs, carts, umbrellas, bikes, coolers, games, and more. Simply make your selections prior to your stay, and we’ll have everything ready at your vacation home!
