Location
"Bay Dreamin" sits at the tip of Anna Maria Island, where the street ends at open water. Beach access and Bayfront Park are directly across the street, giving you a front-row spot for sunsets over Tampa Bay and views of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Pine Ave — with its shops, restaurants, and fishing spots — is just 0.3 miles away, and the free island trolley stops a block from the house, so you can explore Anna Maria, Holmes Beach, and Bradenton Beach without ever worrying about parking or traffic. Upstairs, a private balcony puts those same bay views just outside your door for a quieter look at the water.

Property & Access
This recently renovated home is a stairs-only, two-story layout: the open-concept living room, kitchen, dining area, and a half bath are all on the main level, and all four bedrooms are upstairs in a split floor plan, with the master suite on one side and three additional bedrooms and two shared bathrooms on the other. Parking is available for up to 4 vehicles, plus golf cart charging on-site; the garage is accessible but not used for vehicle parking, and boat and trailer parking are not available on-site.

Tech & Entertainment
Every bedroom comes with its own smart TV, plus a 65" smart TV in the downstairs living room and 55" smart TVs in both the master suite and the upstairs family room — plenty of screens for movie nights or catching the game. High-speed Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected, and a smart lock makes self-check-in simple the moment you arrive. Outside, a large flat-screen TV by the pool means the fun doesn't have to stop when you head outdoors.

Kitchen & Comfort
The updated kitchen is ready for a crowd, with new stainless-steel appliances, a wine cooler for your favorite beverages, and both a Keurig and a drip coffee maker to start the morning right, plus a blender and toaster for smoothies and quick breakfasts. The dining table seats 4, with additional bar seating at the kitchen island for overflow, and outside, a covered porch with a wet bar and a second seating area makes it easy to spread out for meals. Every bed is topped with fresh linens, and plush bath and beach towels are provided so you can head straight for the water. A dedicated laundry room with a washer, dryer, and its own half bath keeps mid-trip laundry out of the way. This is located in the garage and accessible from the pool.

Room-by-Room
Bedroom 1: King bed, ensuite bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub and glass-enclosed rain shower, Smart TV
Bedroom 2: Queen bed, shared bathroom, Smart TV

Awesome trip with the family

This property was one of our favorite stays of late. Great location, easy to get to anything. Close to beaches and the pool was great to hang at while our youngest was napping. We decided to get a golf cart which was a perfect addition. Highly recommend this place!

Excellent Property in every way!

We can't say enough about this property. Directly across the street from the Bay and beach. Close to Pine Street and a lot of great restaurants. Lovely pool and hot tub in the backyard with a garage full of pool and beach toys, a wagon and chairs. The house was very clean and well equipped. What a wonderful vacation we had! The property manager (Benjamin) was great before travel, very responsive and always available. Highly recommend this property.

Poor Communication

The house was nice and lived up to the description. Our issue happened when we checked out and accidentally left our jacket on the hall coat rack. We immediately texted the property manager and got no response. This was at 5am. When we finally heard back 48 hours later they said they didn't see it. Completely unacceptable to not check the property when they arrived in the office at 8am. Instead someone they who had access to the house stole it.

Awesome house

We had a great time. The house was clean. Well equipped. AnchorDown management was very responsive. Two couples. We Ubered from the airport and had them drop 2 of us off at Beach Bums where we rented a golf cart for the week. Beach Bums is 2 minutes from the house. We also rented 4 beach chairs for the week. (There was some beach items in the garage as well). The beach on the bay side (which is what you see out the front door) is not great and was much more windy than the gulf side. We drove the golf cart over to the gulf side (<5 min), found a place to park and spent the day at the beach. Parking is somewhat limited albeit we had no trouble finding a spot. (Not sure if finding a spot during the busy season would be an issue or not). We were 1/4 mile north of the Sandbar restaurant which sits on the beach. After each couple of hours on the beach we would walk down the beach to the Sandbar for a beverage, lunch and/or dinner (as well as use their facilities) depending on our schedule. The sunsets were spectacular. We had great meals at the Waterfront, The Ugly Grouper, The Sandbar and Harry’’s. Fresh donuts from the Donut Experiment……all very close to the house. Pickleball and tennis courts a 10 minute cart ride as well.
