Love Shack on the Water Most desirable location on AMI

Located on Pine Ave just steps from shops, the General Store, restaurants, the pier, beach, pier fishing, and the trolley. Look out the patio with views of Tampa Bay and watch the boats, manatees, dolphins, snook, and birds flock by.
This 2 bedroom 2 bath is a rare find at the Bayou. It is completely renovated with a modern beach vibe. It is a place to relax, escape and renew. When you are ready to socialize, no car needed, just walk out the door and you are in the most desirable area of the Anna Maria Island. Grab a fishing pole and you never know what you will catch.
Walk to the pier or The Sandbar for the most amazing sunsets in the world. Looking for a place of prayer, meditation or a place to elope? Historic Roser Chapel is right next door.

We absolutely loved our stay here on Anna Maria Island! The building complex felt very safe and peaceful, and the location couldn’t have been better. The beach was just perfect — crystal clear blue water and soft sand — truly beautiful!Everything was close by and easy to get to, which made our trip so relaxing. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, and we really appreciated that personal touch.We will definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommend!

Nice place

This place is extremely well designed with the space they have available. Everything has a spot. We really enjoyed how close we were to the water and all the shops. The beds were good enough for sleeping and it was really great to come back to the place after a long beach day. Really good base of operations. Fun times in Anna Maria!

Great stay on Anna Maria

Great location and place to stay. Easy access to the city pier and restaurants and the beach. We enjoyed being able to walk across the street to get coffee in the mornings and ice cream at night. Accommodations worked great for our family. Bring quarters if you plan to do laundry.

Loving the “Love Shack”

From the moment we entered the “Love Shack”…we knew this would be a fun Anniversary Getaway. It was perfect… clean, very well furnished and kitchen so easy to use. The decor is beach and very comfortable. It is a short walk to the beach, great shopping, and several good restaurants. We loved our time there!

Nice apartment exelent location

I recently stayed at this apartment for a 4th of July getaway, and it exceeded all expectations! Located in a prime spot, it's conveniently close to everything. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy bedrooms and a modern bathroom.

Charming Old Florida Feel

This apartment is just across from the water on the inland side of the island. I could see the pier entrance from my kitchen window, Nevertheless it felt very private. Close to everything, restaurants, shops, beaches. Just across the street from the inland beach and a straight walk to the gulf beach. New tv's, excellent wifi. Nice relaxing stay.

Perfect spot

We are natives to AMI and came back to visit for the weekend. Max was the best host. The apartment was clean, had everything we needed. Being from AMI I’d have to say this location is the PERFECT spot on the island to stay. We absolutely will be back. The beds were comfortable, living space was big enough to have friends over for cocktail at the end of the night. Will stay again!
