Anna Maria Island Rentals - Beach Front - "Angels Envy" -Rod & Reel Pier Retreat

First, Anna Maria Island is broken up into 3 cities, Anna Maria, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach. The City of Anna Maria is the most northern part of the Island and the most popular. When searching for Beach front rentals, be careful. A standard search of VRBO will Show 300 plus listings. Only a fraction of these are actually in the city of Anna Maria, and even less are actually ON the Beach. Many will be, steps to beach, blocks to beach, or beach view, or beach area and on and on. Make sure you actually select beach when doing your search. Then make sure you zoom in on the map to see which ones are "ACTUALLY' ON THE BEACH. There aren't many, but MINE IS!!!!! I can't tell you how many people say they were mislead by this type of description and ended up blocks from the beach.
Anna Maria and it's "Old Florida Charm" will sweep you away. With breathtaking sugar white sand, emerald water and some of the most incredible sunsets and sunrises in the world, its no wonder you are looking us over. If you're looking for a new 3 or 4 story brand new concrete home with all the latest and greatest, this is NOT your place. This is an "Old Florida" beach home. That's the reason people come to Anna Maria, we are mostly "old Florida". Please review pictures closely to see what you get. If you're going to sit inside all day and look at the walls and marvel at the granite counter tops and how modern the place is, your wasting your vacation. What's more important, looking at the new modern place your staying at, or spending your time on the beach fishing or watching Dolphin's and Manatee's and incredible Sea Birds and our beautiful Island? Direct beach front with the water is less than 50 foot to your bedroom!
Our family has lived on this Island for 40 years and visited way before that.
From the first cup of coffee watching the sunrise in the morning to the margarita as the sun goes down, you won't be disappointed. Please note, this is an elevated home as required for all new homes built after the mid 1970's by Anna Maria City regulations. There are stairs from the ground level to the living second floor and ALL guest must be physically capable of climbing stairs.
Why not spend your vacation at my home and truly enjoy Anna Maria!!
Please Note: the entire west coast of Florida suffered several Hurricanes in 2024 causing lots of beach movement and storm damage. My home was spared major damage and we are currently booking for 2025 and 2026. Thank You!!!

My Happy Place

First time on Anna Maria Island, and loved it! The angels envy was a perfect location to stay in for us. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and the kitchen was amazing! Joe was a very attentive host and quick to respond. We loved having the beach in the backyard, but just know there is no additional beach beyond the sea wall. A great spot to float and fish! The dolphins and manatees were amazing to watch throughout the day along with the beautiful sunrise in the morning and a five minute walk to beautiful sunsets! The beaches are beautiful with the softest sand ever. We enjoyed having a rental car to explore, kayaking, walking paths on the preserves and the unbelievable restaurants close by. We chose not to do golf cart and or bikes, but keep that in mind. Rentals are everywhere. There is a lot of recovery reconstruction going on but it’s amazing. How much has been completed. Thank you Joe for an amazing experience!

Sea Sanctuary for the Soul!

My girlfriends and I are grateful to Joe for offering his beautiful home to rent and enjoy. Joe communicated with us throughout the catastrophic hurricanes and took every measure to accommodate our needs. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Joe's home is spectacular and had been updated and refurnished. His home was appointed with everything we needed for our comfort, entertainment, relaxation, and enjoyment. The rent is a great value considering such spectacular, unobstructed views and selfishly enjoying them without neighbors or being among a multi-unit property.Every day we were greeted with the most colorful and glorious sunrises, meandering manatees, rambunctious rays, salty sea birds, and delightful dolphins frolicking mere feet from us. Our cheeks were gently kissed by a fresh ocean breeze and we were mesmerized by the waves lapping outside our door with water colored every shade of blue and green which nourished our souls. Joe was an attentive host and responded quickly to our questions and needs leading up to and during our stay.The houses on either side were impacted by the devastating hurricanes and at various stages of disrepair. We felt it gave us a greater deal of privacy to enjoy the majestic views from the deck and ground level lounge chairs.Joe, we LOVED your place. Thank you for everything! You are the host every other should aspire to become. Hope to be back soon. Lisa, Michelle, and Tara.

Beautiful View and Location

We stayed at Angel’s Envy and it was our first time on Anna Maria Island. We loved the charm of the island and the location of the house. What a view! We watched the sunrise every morning and saw dolphins every day. The house was newly renovated and fit our family perfectly. Between the house and backyard it had everything we needed and there were days that we skipped the beach to hang out on the bay. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials needed and we were able to cook many of our meals. Would definitely like to come back to stay. Joe was a very gracious host.

This place is nicer than I expected. Very comfortable peaceful home with perfect location. I walked bean point every morning to find whole sand dollars. The dolphins play continuously out front and they came very close to me while paddle boarding. Comfortable beds and the kitchen has everything we needed. We actually never went out to eat.

We were booked during tropical stormy Debby. The host kept us updated on the latest weather forecast. We did leave the house for 2 days due to island flooding but the host had a clean up crew there quickly to get us back in quickly. The view from the home was amazing. We watched dolphins and manatees play every day. 5 stars all the way!!!!!!

A SLICE OF HEAVEN!!

I LOVE IT HERE!! I’ve been to Anna Maria 16 times, and this was the absolute best trip we’ve ever had, and it’s all because of the location of this beach house! First, the location is perfect because it’s near the northern tip of the island and near Bean Point, which is more private than other areas. It’s the perfect place for sitting in the powdery soft white sand, and is the perfect place to watch a the breathtaking sunsets. This house also has the perfect location because it’s only 2 doors down from the Rod & Reel Pier. This makes it perfect for fishing. Additionally, it’s the perfect spot for seeing the sea life (dolphins, manatees, and stingrays). This beach house has the perfect covered porch so you’re not melting in that Florida sun, but can see right down into the crystal clear waters to see all of those sea creatures! (If you’re afraid of those things, you’re still fine, because they stay a safe distance from you, but if you want to see them, you’re close enough for a good picture!) Another bonus to this location is that you can watch the remarkable sunrises right from the porch, or even from the comfort of the couch! Kitchen has everything you need, beds are comfy, 2 bathrooms, but that view is what makes it a slice of heaven for me! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this home. It truly is the only place on the whole island where I want to stay!!

Perfect girls trip

This property is fantastic. It really is a home away from home. It is located on the north end of the island. The closest trolly stop is at the Anna Maria City Pier and quite a walk from the property. I really recommend a car or golf cart if you plan to get out and see the island. Joe was a wonderful host and kept in touch to make sure everything was ok. My only complaint is that the pictures being used to advertise the outside of the home are not up to date. Due to Mother Nature there is no longer a beach as depicted in the photo taken of the house from the Rod and Reel Pier. The pictures need to be updated and or the beach issue be addressed in the description of the property so renters have correct information when making a decision on where to stay. Again thank you Joe for sharing your home with us. We had a wonderful time.

Cozy beach vibe perfection!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful this property is!! The house is comfortable, feels like home, and has newer kitchen appliances. The deck has an amazing hammock with a million dollar view at any time. We had multiple dolphins, manatees, manta rays, starfish, and beautiful sunrises to enjoy the entire week. The sandy yard area had beautiful shells. Cozy lounge chairs, umbrellas, cornhole, floating tubes with anchors & a gas grill are just a few of the perfect amenities. Bean Point beach is within a short walking distance, has clear blue water with velvet sand, and is a must for the amazing sunsets. Joe is very hospitable and always only a phone call away if needed. We will definitely return! Best week ever!!

Perfect location and gorgeous views

We had a fantastic week at Joe’s house over our kids’ spring break. We love the north end of AMI where we are able to easily get around via foot, bike, or golf cart. Add the beautiful views from Joe’s house, along with the Rod and Reel pier and Bean Point just steps away, I can’t think of a better location on the island. The house suited all of our needs and came with plenty of amenities to keep us entertained. It was easy to communicate with Joe before and during the trip. Overall, it exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely stay at this house again when we next visit AMI.
