Mermaid Manor The island lifestyle will be hard to leave once you indulge in a stay at this gorgeous retreat in the heart of Anna Maria. Boasting a bright interior, driftwood-inspired floors, and shiplap walls, this will be just the place to spoil even the most design-oriented of guests. Start each morning with a warm cup of coffee on the furnished balcony as you look out to the canal system and plan a full day of fun. When days heat up, everyone can head out to the private pool (can also be heated upon request!) and lounge in bliss while the kids play in the refreshing water. Whipping up poolside snacks and gourmet meals will be easy in the fully equipped kitchen and everyone will love eating al fresco on the covered deck! After watching the sunset from your favorite spot, head inside and you will have the option to gather for a movie night on one of the flatscreen TVs or let your competitive side out with a ping-pong tournament! Additional entertainment can be achieved thanks to the professional-grade 4 hole putting green - the putters and balls will be provided to you, so there's no need to worry! Heading to bed each night will be a treat in itself, as each bedroom is immaculately furnished and decorated. Starting from the entrance of the home, the first three bedrooms can be found by following the hall directly to the right at the top of the stairs. On the right side of the hall is a bedroom with a twin/double bunk bed. The next bedroom offers a queen bed. Plus, a full bathroom is located at the need of the hall. On the left is a master suite with a king bed and a beautiful en suite bathroom. Make your way to the other end of the home and you will find the last bedroom located off of the living area that is complete with a queen bed and easy access to another full bathroom across the hall. There will be no lack of excitement on this vacation, as Anna Maria is packed with fun for the whole family to enjoy. With access to Bimini Bay via the unique canal system, taking your boat out for a day on the emerald water of Tampa Bay will be a breeze. Sugar-white sand can be found just blocks away, or you can make your way to Bean Point Beach for room to spread out and watch the waves just over a mile from your front door. When the group works up an appetite, amazing restaurants like The Waterfront Restaurant, Rod and Reel Pier, and The Sandbar Restaurant will be just the ticket for a plate of fresh seafood.
