Property Description
Recently renovated with new kitchen and more! Welcome to our Blue Grotto on the beautiful Anna Maria Island. We hope you will enjoy every minute of your stay in our 1800 square feet beach house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Our unique property features huge living area and full kitchen. Our little slice of heaven is perfect for family vacays, wedding guests, fishing or golfing trips or that annual girls trip! You are only 6 houses to the beach or right out the back door to the large pool. You will want to return year after year! This home is a 2 family and only half will be rented at a time.... which allows complete privacy to the home and pool*. Location, Location, Location! The locals call this area the "Golden Triangle" because ALL THE THINGS are right around the corner. A short 5 minute walk to the AMI Beach Cafe serving my Dad’s favorite all-you-can-eat pancakes. A quick 2 minute golf cart ride to grab a cold beer at the Freckled Fin Irish Pub or 5 minutes in the other direction for some ice cream at my personal fav- Two Scoops! Adult Night Out...don't worry, The Doctor's Office is crafting cocktails only 2 minutes away. If things get ugly at the Ugly Grouper, you are only 2 minutes from home. If you want to pick up some of the freshest seafood around at Capt Anthony's Seafood Market and grill by the pool then your side dishes from Publix are only 4 short minutes from home. Jump on the free Island Trolley at the end of the block to check out Coquina Beach or Anna Maria City Pier. Feeling like a homemade cinnamon roll just about the size of your head then head straight to Ginny’s & Jane E’s Cafe. You won’t want to miss the sunset at The Sand Bar and while you are there...order a pina colada with a dark rum floater! Historic Bridge Street will keep the whole gang entertained for hours purchasing all the sharks teeth, alligator sculptures, shell bracelets, bathing suits or singing along with the band at Island Time Bar and Grill. It shouldn’t even be legal to skip a fried grouper sandwich on the deck at Tide Tables. Some would argue that the fried shrimp at Starfish are life changing. Southern hospitality and a chill vibe welcomes all ages at the AMI Blue Grotto. Enjoy an afternoon game on the outdoor tv while the kids swim in the large pool. With only steps to the sugar white sand beach, the Blue Grotto is so convenient to pop back and forth for that true island style living. Who will rule the shuffleboard table on this trip? Who will be the first to spot a Manatee or perhaps one of the 5 different species of Sea Turtles? A quick 1 minute walk in the evening to enjoy the breathtaking sunsets from the most beautiful white sand beach is the best stress reliever that I have ever found. Come back home to rest in one of the 2 king bedrooms or double twin bedroom....each with their own television. Come experience the vintage charm of Anna Maria Island, a seven mile little slice of heaven where flip flops are standard and the speed limit tops out at 35 mph. See ya’ll soon! *Heating pool is an extra charge. ***Please inquire about less than weekly rental in offseason.***About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About customRules:Please provide a copy of your license and guest list within 48 hours of booking..About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 25.About events:No events allowed.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house is spacious, beautifully kept, and has everything you could possibly need. The backyard with the pool, loungers, umbrellas, and grill was perfect for relaxing evenings.The location is unbeatable — just a couple of minutes’ walk to the ocean, with soft white sand and stunning turquoise water. No cars, no crossing streets — just pure paradise at your doorstep.Traveling with a baby was made so easy — there was a playpen with a comfortable mattress where our little one slept peacefully at night, and a high chair for feeding. The backyard had boxes full of water toys for kids, plus beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards — it’s so nice not to worry about what to pack or how to entertain your child (or yourself!).A special thank you to the owners of this wonderful home — such kind, friendly, and communicative people. Any question we had was answered or resolved immediately.I will truly miss this place as we head back to Illinois, and we hope to return next year!

Best Location on the Island For the price, the Blue Grotto is one of the best locations for a week stay anywhere on the island. Super close to grocery, restaurant, coffee, and souvenir shopping needs. The house was clean and comfortable and big enough for a large family if needed. The pool was shaded just enough so that you could escape the suns rays and bask in the warm water if you felt you were getting too much sun. Best of all the house sits a short stroll from a wide quiet beach and the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

Clean and Convenient Host answered all our questions. Pool was heated to a comfortable temp. House was very clean and spacious. Direct walk of a block and a half to beach which was not crowded. Short walk on beach to public beach access with restaurant and bar. Very relaxing trip.

Awesome getaway! Perfect location! Restaurants, bars, shopping, beach all within walking distance. House is beautiful and spacious and very well equipped with everything you need!! The private yard and pool was just icing on the cake! We had an amazing stay and the recommendations were great! Any questions I had were responded to immediately! The only downside was our stay was not long enough! We can't wait to come back!

Fall Break Vacation We had a blast during our stay at the Blue Grotto. The house had everything a family would need. We all enjoyed the pool and the walk to the beach was very short and convenient. There were plenty of chairs and toys for the kids to play with at the beach. The place was spotless and we had plenty of room to unwind during our stay. Overall a great location with many restaurants within walking distance and a Publix a short drive from the house which was very convenient. Communication with the owner was great. We will definitely stay here again next trip to Anna Marie Island.

Great location. We stayed Oct. 22-28 and really enjoyed it. Very clean and well stocked. Perfect weather and we enjoyed having the pool. I would go walking every morning and then my husband and I would take off on our bikes. It is in a great location.
