Welcome to Beachfront Bungalow! This 4 charming bedroom, 3.5 bathroom coastal cottage is located directly on Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. There are very few Anna Maria homes directly on the beach, and our discerning guests won't settle for simply being near the beach. The only thing standing between you and the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico is your private pool with a sun shelf and spa. And with room for up to 14 guests, this self-contained resort is ideal for families and small groups looking to get away from it all!

The open views of the beach are complemented by the professionally designed coastal décor throughout. Relax in the main living area with gorgeous wood beams, stone fireplace, and large flat-screen TV. You can prepare the catch of the day in the fully equipped kitchen, with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Then, enjoy your meals at the large dining room table in the dining room. There is also a full-size washer and dryer in the home.
Unwind to the sound of crashing waves on the beachfront patio. The centerpiece of the large outdoor area is a brand-new oversized, heated pool with sun shelf and spa. There is an outdoor BBQ, dining table, and plenty of lounge chairs to relax in while surrounded by tropical landscaping. When you are ready to hit the beach, simply step out of the private rear gate and dig your toes into the sand. There are beach chairs, and a beach cart for you to use while you vacation here! It is a perfect setting for small weddings or family gatherings.
When it’s time to retire after a long day of fun in the sun, there are four bedrooms to accommodate a good night’s rest. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, flat-screen TV and private bathroom ensuite with dual sinks and shower. Or, let your cares slip away in the clawfoot tub overlooking the Gulf.
The 2nd guest bedroom features a king bed with a flat-screen TV and ensuite bathroom with a shower. The 3rd guest bedroom features a king bed with flat-screen TV and views of the Gulf. The 4th guest bedroom features two sets of bunk beds (twin over full for each bunk). Finally, there is a pull-out sofa bed in the living room.
There are several grocery stores nearby, including the Island Fresh Market (1 mile) and Publix (2 miles). Also, there are numerous excellent dining options close by ranging from the amazing burgers at ultra-casual “Skinny’s Place” to Zagat rated beach front dining at “Beach Bistro”. With plenty more restaurants alternatives in between, there is no shortage of choices for all appetites and budgets.
Getting around the island is easy by car or by using the trolley service that runs from early morning until 10:00 in the evening. There is a trolley stop just a short walk from Beachfront Bungalow!

Very old home
We walked in and were a bit upset about the cleanliness. Stained living and dining room furniture. We felt the house was dark and depressing. Musty. Needs a good household update… I would not pay over 500.00 a night for this property. I give 1 star for the gorgeous beach I give 1 star for the representative responsible for this property. They sent someone out to steam clean the chairs in the living room. They looked brand new. They cleaned the a/c vent and changed the filter. The management team did as much as they could. So I do appreciate them. I feel the house needs an overhaul and to be cleaned of mold… No I would not stay here again.

Adorable bungalow
The home is SO adorable and cozy. The pool was incredible - 3x bigger than we would have expected for a house that size. There were a few issues which were taken care of right away and a couple (rusted out patio dining furniture, no working pool lights for nighttime swimming) which were not resolved during our stay but we did receive a small credit (which was appreciated). The beach was just a short walk from the backyard and it was nice to hear the waves day and night! We would definitely stay here at the Beach Bungalo again!

Fabulous experience!
We had extended family ranging from 13-75, and all agree it was a wonderful week! The listing was accurate - and the pictures show the property just as it is. Being steps from the beach was a luxurious convenience. The large, clean pool was a great bonus & got lots of use. The management was very responsive to just a few minor concerns - addressed same day. We wish we could stay longer.

Escape from the North - Amazing Beachfront with great pool
4/17-4/24 We headed south for our first visit to AMI. We wanted a private pool on the beach for 4 adults, two 18 year old boys, 16 year old girl and 13 year old boy. Beachfront Bungalow was the perfect spot. Beach access was amazing. Pool was big with a sun deck built in and a few sitting ledges. Hot tub would heat up pretty quickly. House was great, smaller living room with seating for 5 but we were outside most of the time. Bedrooms were great, 3 King beds and bunk room with two twin over full beds. Lots of towels and beach towels. Great outdoor shower and 1/2 bath is connected to pool deck. Our only suggestion would be to update outdoor dinning table/chairs. There is a table but only 4 chairs for eating outside. We all agreed, we will be back!!

40th birthday trip
We had such a great time celebrating my 40th birthday at this lovely beach cottage - such a perfect location! From the heated pool to the lovely spa to the gorgeous white sand beaches just steps out the back gate... everything was perfect. We stayed in and cooked in the well appointed kitchen - local fish, shrimp and lobster oh my! So good.

Excellent Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beach Bungalow. The property was well maintained, the large pool was great. Plenty of chairs to enjoy the views by the pool, and it was so nice to have our own private, gated walk to the beach right out of our back door. We highly recommend staying here...we will definitely be repeat guests!

This was a perfect spot for a family beach vacation. Having the Anna Maria beach as our extended backyard just beyond the pool was amazing. The house was clean and comfortable and the property manager responsive. Pictures showed the property exactly as it was.

Super nice to have a pool on the beach side of the house. Hot tub was wonderful since it was still a little cool outside. Very well stocked with towels and beach towels and super easy access to everything on the island. Big shout out to The Donut Experience! Delicious and fun!

Family birthday get together
The house and location were wonderful, wonderful!! The pool was like a resort pool. We and members of our family live on Anna Maria but wanted a place for members from out of town, where they could really enjoy the beach, the Island and our Florida weather with pool. This place maximized all of that, it made the week so much fun. thank you to the owners for sharing it!!
