DESCRIPTION:

If you're searching for a luxury waterfront vacation home on Anna Maria Island for your friends or family, you’ve found the perfect place! This newly constructed 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home is located on a canal with a private dock on the north end of the island, just an 8–10 minute walk to the beach access at Bean Point. Offering the ideal spot to enjoy island life, this high-end property immerses you in luxury and detail from top to bottom.

This unique, custom-built home boasts a professionally designed, spacious floor plan, high-end furnishings, and stunning decor. The open-concept great room, with its 'open to above' living area and canal views, adds a grand and expansive feel. The oversized bedrooms each feature luxurious en suite bathrooms, including the Master Bath with a large walk-in shower and dual shower heads. Every element of this home, from smart TVs and wireless internet to high-end finishes, is thoughtfully designed to make you wish you could live here year-round.

The kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with two large islands topped with sparkling white quartz countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and premium appliances such as a gas stove, oversized refrigerator, two dishwashers, and an additional fridge in the garage. It’s fully stocked with everything you need, and there’s plenty of seating, including a kitchen island that seats four and a dining area that accommodates eight.

On the ground level, you’ll find a large garage, a foyer, and an elevator to all floors (available with prior authorization and a $149 deposit). Step outside to the covered outdoor patio with a resort-style private heated pool and spa overlooking the canal. This outdoor oasis is perfect for entertaining, with a bar, two TVs, seating, and games. The private dock provides access for fishing or launching kayaks and paddleboards (not provided).

The 1st living level features the main living area, with a great room that includes the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. A balcony offers canal and pool views, and two bedrooms with king beds and en suite baths provide ample space and comfort. The laundry room and a half bath are also on this floor.

The 2nd living level includes two additional bedrooms, both with king beds, en suite baths, and large closets. The open walkway provides stunning views of the living area below and adds a unique architectural touch.

Located just a short walk or bike ride from Bayfront and Gulf beaches, Bayfront Park, Anna Maria City Pier, and the Pine Avenue entertainment district, this home is in the heart of all that Anna Maria Island has to offer. Your family and friends will love this home’s location and luxurious touches.

POLICIES:
NO PETS. NO SMOKING.

NOTE: Elevator is available for guest use for convenience and ONLY available with prior approval and payment of fee. $149 FEE is required, which must be paid before your check-in. This fee is non refundable. (The elevator operation is currently subject to the ability to address necessary repairs and complete servicing in the aftermath of the hurricanes, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to restore full functionality.)


Registered Guest must provide copy of ID, be at least 25 years of age and be present throughout entire stay.  

Standard occupancy is 2 persons per every standard bedroom, an additional occupant fee of $25 per person/per night will be assessed for each occupant over this up to max occupancy, if applicable.

Quiet Hours 10p-8a. You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.

Reservations are typically taken for 7 night Saturday-Saturday stays. However, we can offer flexible stays with varying minimum night requirements and non-Saturday check-ins/check-outs during most of the year with exception to holidays and peak weeks unless city ordinances prohibit it. Always feel free to ask prior to booking to see if this is a possibility as we may not be able to accommodate changes after booking.

CLEANING AND SAFETY:
All our homes and linens are cleaned, sanitized, and inspected between each guest per industry standards.  A starter set of basic amenities, linens, towels, and bedding are provided at the beginning of your stay per home occupancy. Daily housekeeping or linen services are not included in your stay. 

Additional cleaning and laundry services are available by request mid-stay at additional charge. For stays of 28-days or more, a mid-stay clean will be required to be scheduled and paid by guest at additional cost.

This home participates in our Professional Linen Program. This ensures high quality linens and towels are provided according to the home’s occupancy at the beginning of your stay. These are professionally laundered at a commercial facility between each guest.  Please keep in mind extra sets are not kept in homes. 

GOLF CART RENTALS:
Golf carts are a fun and easy way to get around the island! After booking, reserve one for your stay with our sister company, Once Upon A Beach Carts, for an exclusive discount for our vacation rental guests!

BABY EQUIPMENT RENTALS:
Baby equipment is not available for use at the home for safety and sanitation reasons. We are however partnered with local companies offering rentals of these items including pick-up and drop-off.

POOL & SPA (if any):
The pool is heated year round at no additional cost for the convenience and comfort of our guests. Pool temperatures are set between 82-85 degrees and will not be set higher due to keeping proper chemical balance, clarity, and cleanliness of the pools. Due to strict city noise ordinances pool heaters and filters do not run during the hours of 10p-8a. Please note that cooler ambient temperatures (20 degree difference between water and air temperature) may result in pool heater unable to compensate the difference. We are not responsible for cold spells causing cooler pool temperatures or unexpected failure of equipment. Please note that a residential spa is a section of pool that once turned on provides relaxation, misting bubbles and warmer temperatures in the high 90s - low 100s but are not permitted to remain on 24/7 or will not reach temperatures like that of a commercial hot tub. 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. Guests are required to read and abide by all posted rules, safety and operating information. Under no circumstance is any guest allowed to adjust pool equipment. Failure to abide may result in guests being fined or liable for any damages to equipment.

PROPERTY SECURITY/SAFETY:
Please note this home may be equipped with Ring, Nest or other exterior cameras viewing front door, driveways, pool equipment, and entry/exits of backyard areas only. Cameras are only intended to keep property safe and secure, monitor deliveries, assure occupancy, and are not angled into any areas where guests would assume or expect privacy.

Tern Key Excellence
OUTSTANDING 7-day experience. Everything was perfect for our annual family get-together. We will definitely be back next year!

Tern Key
Our family of 10 enjoyed a week vacation at Tern Key in January. From the moment we arrived until the day we left we were delighted with the home. Everything was sparkling clean and decorated tastefully and comfortably. The beds were so comfortable! Coffee on the porch overlooking the private pool and coastal byway in the morning, biking and kayaking in the afternoon, walks and sunsets on the beach, wine and family games in the evenings. It was just what we were hoping for. We hope to be back again many times! Also if you visit make sure you walk down the beach to the restaurants near town. It is delightful having your toes in the sand while you are served a wonderful meal in the shade of a beach umbrella. And say hi to the dolphins for us!

This is a true home: gracious, comfortable, accommodating, BEAUTIFUL. It is close to everything, yet you feel like you have privacy. There is water access via the channel. It is close to beach access where you can catch the sunrise AND the sunset. Very walkable. Tons of fun little restaurants and shops. And the house! It is designed by someone who knows how to live and play and relax and entertain. The beds are comfy. Tons of room yet plenty of quiet places to curl up with a book or intimate conversation. I hope to be back very soon! It was everything we were hoping for and more.

Tern Key
A couples' trip. House location allowed us to walk everywhere: beach, restaurants, shopping. This is a luxury home not a typical rental property. En suite showers, plenty of hot water, lots of refrigerator space. Quiet. When you are in the back yard by the pool you feel like you are in a nature sanctuary. Manatees, nesting birds, flying fish entertain you from your comfortable spot overlooking the canal as you enjoy your morning coffee. Many accommodations. Extra refrigerators, everything needed for beach time, including carts, chairs, outdoor shower, etc. Watch the stars come out as you enjoy the evening pool side. Beds that are likely to be even better than yours at home with quality linens. Don't look any farther if you are looking for a home away from home on AMI. (P. S. Thank you to the owners for the thoughtful welcome gifts! We felt like valued friends rather than renters.)

We have rented from Once Upon a Beach in the past. When talking to an agent at that time, it was mentioned that returning renters were eligible for a 10% discount. Is this still available? 

Steve L - Posted: 12/16/2023

Answer:

We offer our returning guests a 5% discount on new bookings.

Do you have baby items like a pack n play, town stroller, high chair, any baby items for staying at your rental? If so is this included at request? Also wondering if there are fishing rods available at the house. Thank you!

Whitney Y - Posted: 03/21/2024

Answer:

For safety and sanitation reasons, we do not provide baby equipment in our homes. However, we’re happy to connect you with trusted local vendors who offer high-quality rentals for your convenience. We also 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! We are also happy to provide any additional vendors for any items you'd like to have available during your stay!

Good. Day, is it possible for one of the bedrooms be separated into 2 beds instead of a king? Thank you

Clare H - Posted: 04/14/2024

Answer:

Thank you for your question. We do have homes where we can convert twin beds into a king to better suit your needs. However, we are unable to convert a king bed into two twin beds. If you have any other specific requests or need assistance with your booking, please feel free to reach out—we're here to help!
