Description

Our custom built, 2300 sq. ft. (210 sq. mt.), elevated house overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, features two complete bedrooms--each with a private bath--wrap around balconies and sun decks, granite counter-top gourmet kitchen with every imaginable convenience, soaring cathedral ceilings, surrounded by lush Florida landscape. Ground level of the house contains a two car garage and entry hall to the stairway; 20 steps up to the living room-dining room-kitchen-den level with a full size laundry room and bathroom. The den has a convertible sleeper sofa and can be used as a third bedroom. French doors open up to a screened in porch with a gas grill and a patio dining area. On the top level of the house is the king size master bedroom that opens to a sundeck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower with 4-body massage jets. The guest bedroom is furnished with twin beds and has its own complete bathroom. Air conditioning for the house is furnished by two central units allowing the sleeping level and the living level to be cooled or warmed to your specifications. An electric dumbwaiter is in the kitchen allows groceries to be lifted from the garage without effort. Tile floors in the entry hall and stairway and the entire main living level. The bedrooms are furnished with wall to wall carpeting.

Neighborhood

Across the street from the house is the path leading to Bean Point Beach with its sugar soft sand and hundreds of acres of beach front bordering the Gulf of Mexico. Each evening promises a spectacular sunset of orange and purple and red that is a photographer's delight and certain to create lifelong memories. The house is located next door to the Anna Maria Resort and our guests have access to their pool. The neighborhood is entirely residential and is made up very desirable homes. Within a 15 minute walk the Rod and Reel Pier features fishing and a small restaurant, and 10 minutes farther down the street is the City Pier with more fishing and a larger restaurant. There are several shopping neighborhoods on the Island and pharmacies and convenience stores and one fully stocked supermarket. On Anna Maria Island, restaurant choices range from pub food to world class dining rooms with a corresponding range of prices. Long Boat Key connects to Anna Maria via a drawbridge and presents many more dining and shopping opportunities. St. Armands Circle, the Gulf Coast answer to Rodeo Drive, is south of Longboat Key, which connects to Sarasota and all of its art galleries, theaters and the not to be missed Ringling Museum. The closest airport is Sarasota/Bradenton (SRQ), about 30 minute drive, and Tampa International (TPA) about 45 minutes. The Orlando theme parks can be reached in less than 2 hours, and 2 hours beyond that, the Kennedy Space center.

About Us

Kathy and I are AARP age, our children are grown and live in New York state. We are retired and involved in many volunteer organizations in Bradenton and Sarasota. We love to travel and in the past few years we have had some delightful home exchanges in New York, London, California and New Mexico. We try to make our home as inviting as possible for our guests and we are extremely responsible for other people's property as we hope they will be toward ours.

Destination

Our travel plans are very flexible and we have access to a town house in Sarasota when our Anna Maria Beach house is occupied. So, a simultaneous exchange is not entirely required. Generally, we can adjust our travel plans to coincide with what ever is comfortable for you. Please tempt us with some out of the way vacation experiences!
