Anna Cabana 3 · Studio · 100 Yds to Gulf
VRC19-000213
Studio · 1BA · Sleeps 2 · 100 Yards to Gulf · Outdoor Seating & Swing · Shared Heated Pool (4 Units) · Outdoor Shower · Mini-Kitchen · 2025 Renovation · Walk to Skinny's & Manatee Beach · 207 Sq Ft
At 207 square feet, Bungalow #3 is the smallest unit in the Anna Cabana complex — and the most honest about what it is. You're not paying for space you won't use. You're 100 yards from the Gulf, steps from a heated pool, and within a five-minute walk of more good restaurants than most guests can get to in a week.
Built in 1950 as part of the original Old Florida beach resort, the bones are authentic and the updates are current. The bedroom area is generously sized for a studio. The bathroom is notably spacious — larger than Bungalow #1 — with a walk-in shower and generous closet storage. High ceilings and smart design make the space feel larger than the square footage suggests.
Bungalow #3 has a mini-kitchen — mini refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker — not a full kitchen. Worth knowing before you book. It's designed for guests who plan to spend their days at the beach and their evenings at Anna Maria Island's restaurants rather than cooking. Grab coffee at Anna Maria Beach Cafe. Breakfast at Rod and Reel Pier. Lunch at Blue Marlin. Dinner at Bridge Street Bistro. All of them are within a five-to-ten minute walk and all of them have been recommended by previous guests who figured out the same rhythm.
Outside, a dedicated outdoor seating area with table, chairs, sun umbrella, and a wooden swing gives this unit its own outdoor space — different from the private patios of units 1, 2, and 4, but genuinely enjoyable. Weber grill access is included.
The heated pool is steps away, shared among the four Anna Cabana bungalows and consistently quiet — guests report having it entirely to themselves. The outdoor shower handles post-beach cleanup. Beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels are all provided — grab them and cross the street.
The Gulf beach is 100 yards away. Skinny's Place is less than five minutes on foot. Manatee Public Beach and Anna Maria Beach Cafe are five minutes. Publix and Walgreens are within easy walking distance. The free island trolley stops steps away.
Guests consistently report not needing their car for the entire week — and some stay for 28 days on exactly that basis.
Anna Cabana Bungalow #3 requires a one-week minimum stay. Not pet-friendly.
*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due.

This was an amazing experience from the moment i confirmed our reservations. The property managers did an awesome job communicating the details of the check in / out process as well as courtesy messages along the way. A small cabana with the essentials and comfort to make for a great experience. Very clean and well maintained property. We will return to this property. Steps to the pool, beach, and a short ride to everything we needed to have an amazing week in the sun.
Grateful to find this place at the last minute because our other VRBO cancelled at last minute. Smaller than what we typically book but we made it work. Short walk to beach, grocery store and restaurant.
The manager was very accommodating. Very pleased with the cleanness of the bungalow. The check-in and check-out was very simple.
Location was really convenient to the beach and so easy to come back eat lunch and go back to the beach or go to the pool.
We would stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
Cabana #3 is cozy but very convenient location to the beach, groceries, restaurants and shopping. This is our second time staying here and the pool and location are prime.
Enjoyed our stay. Everything was pretty much as described. Would like to see the bathroom door work better-if it was closed all the way it was very difficult to roll open. And it would be helpful if the lamps had a three way bulb in. A little extra light would be nice. Good location and nice pool area.
The location was great- walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The private pool was nice as well. However, the room was smaller than a normal hotel room. We made do by spending time at the outside table and swing. All in all we loved Anna Maria Island and will return.

Everything was great!Only complaint was the refrigerator. Freezer needed defrosted.
Great location and great pool/patio but room was like a small hotel room (no place to sit other than bed, no kitchen sink). Not all units are alike but we had the smallest one.
Great bungalow, cool A/C, great large screen Tv with cable and WIFI. Lovely pool and outdoor space. One block away from beach access. No place to sit inside unit except for queen bed and one side chair. Nice small patio table with umbrella right outside the unit. Unit has a gas bbq grill, microwave, toaster and coffee maker.. Small but effective.

Had an amazing time in this cozy bungalow. The location is perfect. Walking distance to restaurants, groceries, snd shopping. Parking spot right by the door. Love the swing and little dining table just for me. Pool is beautiful. Other guests were very nice and respectful. Already made reservation for next Spring😊
Beautiful area and close walking to the beach. Had trouble connecting to WiFi but got that straightened out when we found out the log on network & pw were never updated on our instruction sheet. Outside light automatically came on at dusk and would flicker on/off every 3 minutes. We ended up covering it with a pair of dark pants to prevent the strobe light effect. There was no way to remove the bulb. The accommodations were good, but had to go out and buy forks/spoons, shampoo & conditioner. Bed was very comfortable. I wish the weather would have been warmer. Next time we will wait until March to book AMI.

The bungalow 3 had everything we needed for the beach just a block away; beach chairs and umbrella. There were just two of us so the size of the bungalow was enough. Every time we went to the pool, it was like we had our own private pool. The location put us like halfway from Pine street on one end Bridge street on the other. The property was spotless upon arrival and the customer service was there if needed. Would definitely recommend these bungalows. We went to the Mote aquarium which was very enjoyable with the wife. Recommend the Bridge Street Bistro, the Shore restaurant, the Blue Marlin, Vinny’s Italian, The Rod and Reel Pier for breakfast, and the Coffee Shack for your morning brew.

This bungalow is in a great location. It is a very short block to the beach entrance. I walked there usually. I had rent a golf cart for the week which came in very handy. Especially the days I carried many items to the beach such as umbrella, beach chairs, inner tube and beach towel. All these were available in the unit. The unit itself is decorated very nicely. The bed was super comfy and the bed linens were great. The unit is fairly small but for 1 or 2 people it is just fine. There is a microwave and mini fridge. There is a Mr. Coffee maker. They did have some filters in the room but no coffee. I did buy a bag at Publix. Making 1 cup of coffee in the big pot was not the most convenient but I managed. If you get in late, either bring coffee or you can walk to the Beach Cafe at the Manatee Beach area pavilion. (It was lousy coffee though) The TV has Spectrum cable about 20 channels including the major networks. It is not a smart tv with Netflix, etc. No big deal. I was at the beach until 8:30 pm each evening watching the incredible sunsets.The other larger units have back patios facing the pool. This unit does not but a quick walk around the corner to it. Lots of pool noodles available. The grounds and landscaping of this property are gorgeous and keep it quite hidden and shady. I give it a thumbs up and I will stay here again.
Was a perfect location. Beach steps away. Very cute place. Clean. Would come back

Very cute place. Close to the beach. Clean . Would go back.
This property was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed for our week stay. We had a blast every day it’s right in the middle of everything and you can walk almost everywhere for anything you need. It was very clean and comfortable and cozy. It was perfect, we will definitely be back!
