Canalfront Island Gem with Private Heated Pool, Dock, Ping-Pong, & Putting Green
Mermaid Manor
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
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.

Perfect
We had a wonderful stay at the mermaid manor. House is clean and well appointed. Plenty of space for 2 families. Location is excellent; located on a quiet street but still able to bike to nearby shops, beaches and restaurants. This was one of the families second stay at the house this year. Check in/ out are very easy.
Only problem we had was that we came right after Tropical Storm Debby went through. It took the pool company till Thursday late afternoon to come and check the pool. We had to clean it and someone dropped off chemicals on Tuesday afternoon that we had to put in ourselves. There was also a leak in the family room. Wasn't anyone's fault because we did come during a storm. The people were there Tuesday to remove all sandbags from around the house. The house had enough different games & bikes for the kids to play with till the weather was nicer. Would stay here again if the whole family was going down.

Beautiful, cozy, and a great place for families!
This home is beautiful, spacious, clean, and comfortable. We loved the decor and the furniture. We enjoyed all the comfortable spots to relax inside and out. It was easy for us to be together but also plenty of spots if we wanted to spread out and be alone. The house was stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the games, the pool, books, cornhole game, ping pong, darts, golf, and the porch swing was almost never empty. Oh, how could I forget the bikes! We loved going down to the pier, shops, and Two Scoops with them. They had several bigger bikes for adults/teens and one kids bike. Worked out perfect for our crew! The house also had several beach chairs, umbrellas, a wagon, beach toys, pool and floaties. They have a great grill as well.
Access to the bay is just across the street, beautiful sunrises! Then to get to the gulf, you just follow Bay Blvd (the road right off the house) down to Bean Point where there are lots of beach accesses. We would drive over there get dropped off, and my husband would drive back to the house, grab a bike, and bike over to the beach and then when we were ready to leave, he'd bike back and get the vehicle. Otherwise finding parking is pretty tough. Traveling by bike is the easiest way to park. You'd think golf carts would be easiest but you have to follow the same rules as cars so we are glad we didn't spend the money on one.

The house was extremely spacious, decorated nicely and updated. Furniture was comfortable, as were the beds. The pool area was perfect! And it was so fun having a ping-pong table as well. Close proximity to the water, this is a great place for a family vacation!

Great house!
Fantastic house! We will definitely book this home again. Loved the location and the outdoor areas. The layout of the inside is great too! All the bedrooms are a nice size, the family room was fantastic with enough comfortable seating for our entire group. The kitchen is stocked! We like to make a lot of our meals and this kitchen had everything we needed. We've stayed in a lot of houses and this was one of our favs!

Perfect family home
The home was beautiful, clean, had everything we needed for a week at the beach, and we are already wanting to go back. Kids 8-18 loved the space. Grandparents were thrilled with the location and amenities.
Clean, well-appointed, well-located (we prefer dead-end streets), and spacious. There was plenty of room for everyone, including "The Eagle's Nest" (a roof-top room, enclosed) which we reserved for reading and quiet time. The maximum we had at any one time was 7 as all of our family could not be there at the same time as we'd hoped; had all 10 of us gathered it would have been more than adequate also. Highly recommend this house for family or friends vacationing together.
This house was great for a family get away. The set up of the house was great for the ages of our group..infant to adult. Liked that there were many food choices close by.

Plenty of room
We really enjoyed our stay. The back porch and outside area were the highlight. The kitchen was fully equipped.
We had an amazing time at Mermaid Manor. It was the perfect layout for our family to have re-charge and celebration time all in one. Our son's wedding was on Anna Maria island so we wanted to be close to the wedding venue. We were walking distance - so perfection. This property has attention to detail in providing excellent kitchen supplies, luxurious linens on very comfortable beds and exquisite decor throughout the property. Extra bonus was being able to use their bikes for exploring the island and beaches on the northern tip. Highly recommend!!

Truly Magical
The listing doesnt do this home justice. A few of us traveled to the island for a friends 40th birthday and hated to leave. The home is equiped with everything we needed, including BIKES, which is our favorite way to explore. The kitchen is stocked, beds are comfortable and the common spaces have more than enough room for a group of 8! Did I mention that pool and canal view?
We cannot wait to return! Thank you for allowing us to stay in this slice of paradise!
Beautiful home with pool, ping pong table and bikes! We had a great time!

Family vacation
The home is fantastic. However, the fact that the keypad didn’t work and we only had one key the entire time with three families occupying the house made our time there difficult. Hopefully this can be rectified for future tenants.
