Charming house with private heated pool, lanai. Great location to beach & shops

Quaint Northshore Cottage a few blocks from the village of Anna Maria and the Gulf of Mexico beaches. Sapphire Surf is a “Old Florida” Ground Level House – No Stairs to Climb!

Sapphire Surf is perfect for families, couples or a small group of friends. The house is located with an easy 4-minute stroll down Palmetto or Willow Avenue to the gorgeous white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico or four blocks on North Shore Dr. to historic Pine Avenue that has quaint shops, cafes, restaurants, including the General Store and Ginny’s and Jane E’s. When you’re ready to head to the beach, load up the supplied beach wagon, with the included umbrella, beach chairs, towels and sand toys for a fun day in the sun and surf.

Each bedroom has a flat screen TV and plenty of dresser and closet space. The master bedroom has a king size bed and a bathroom next to it. Our second bedroom has two queen size beds with attached bathroom.

The main living area offers an open concept floor plan with a well-equipped kitchen and dishwasher for easy post-meal cleanup. The open floor plan keeps everyone comfortable in the family room, dining for six and the air conditioning keeps you cool. Designer inspired furnishings and a palette of bright, coastal colors provide a playful yet comfortable space to relax. Flat screen TVs provide your entertainment in the family room and free WiFi access is available throughout the house to keep you connected. Throw your laundry in the private washer and dryer and wash your worries away.

The backyard is your own private piece of paradise. The private heated (October-April) pool is nestled among native palms for a very private experience. You’ll have your choice of two dining areas, a Weber gas grill, and chaise lounges in the sun or the shade. Lounge in the screened lanai for a reading session, quiet conversation, or board games. Added conveniences include an outdoor shower with hot and cold water and a garage to easily access beach supplies.

Great Get Away
Your home was all that we needed and then some. It was a nice break to get away from the rainy cool weather in New York. We had a wedding to go to and it was from walking distance so that was a plus. Never been to the west side of Florida before let alone the island. Beautiful and breathtaking. Thanks again.

A Gem in a Great Location!
This house was super cute and in a great location on the north part of the island. It was a close walk to the beach and the cute shops and stores. Mark & Ramona were great to work with and quickly responsive to any questions of concerns. The only reason I gave it 4 stars for accuracy of online listing is that it was hard to find the address in the information given to us. And it needs to be updated on Zillow. It still shows photos of the old house and no pool. Scared us a bit that we got the wrong house! We would definitely stay here again!

Overall a nice property, if a bit tired. The hosts were great and the location top notch. Master bath rather worn. Glassware not up to snuff, but we will definitely stay again.

Beautiful home
We were amazed at how clean and well appointed this home was. Every thing we could have needed was provided for us. Ramona was very helpful in her hints about where to find a store that was less busy and great driving directions into AMI

Amazing!
We had such a wonderful time at Sapphire Surf. The house was everything we needed and more! It has everything you need for the kitchen, the beach, and the pool. Our family of four, including our four year old and nine month old, stayed for five days and hardly wanted to leave. Hot tip, the huge walk in closet in the queen bed room works great for a little baby nursery! The houses location was wonderful too: walking distance to the beach (even for a four year old), walking distance to shops, and very private backyard. Thanks so much for having us! We can’t wait to come back.

Little oasis close to the beach
The rental was exactly as described. Very clean and a nice set up including a great outdoor space and screened in porch. The house had 2 bedrooms, one was large with a walk in closet area that housed toys and a play area. The garage was stocked with everything to meet your beach and pool needs. The house was located within a short walking distance of the beach, coffee shops and good restaurants. Would definitely stay there again!

Slice of Heaven
Sapphire Surf is the absolute best home on AMI. Our second stay there and the hosts do such an amazing job making sure the house feels like a home. Well stocked kitchen - everything was clean and cozy. Pool is perfect and the pool accessories they have make it easy to be relaxed and enjoy the sun. Great location to everything too!
