AMI Beach + Bay Home with Fishing Pier + Pool on Sarasota Bay - "Dock of the Bay" / Entire top floor of duplex / "Over the Water" - This is the only 1 of 13 homes on Anna Maria Island that our family vacations at, which should tell you a ton! • Unbelievable views of water + birds + wildlife + night lights! • Relax with fish jumping and birds flying along 1 of only 34 coveted docks/piers south of Cortez Bridge! • Fish directly off our pier/dock including fishing rod holders! • Soak in new heated pool with spa jets + benches with views only 10 feet from Sarasota Bay! • Walk 2 blocks to Bridge Street Key West-style restaurants, bars, and shops (downtown Bradenton Beach), Bridge Street Pier, + listen to the Clock Tower bells ringing on each hour. • 140 steps to Cortez Beach on the shortest AMI block from the Gulf of Mexico to Sarasota Bay. • AMI properties with beach or gulf views go pitch-black at sunset all night until sunrise because there is zero context to view on the pitch-black Gulf of Mexico. Our home on Sarasota Bay has a fabulous ambiance of soft lights of the Cortez Bridge, Cortez fishing village, and Bradenton and Sarasota in the distance, which is fabulous in the evening! Being on south Sarasota Bay is the best ever and is exactly why our family vacations at this home instead of our Beach-view + Gulf-view homes!! • All new sliding glass doors + deck panels + deck flooring + inside flooring + new 2nd bathroom + windows + aqua-marine siding costing $75,000 through whole home. • Watch the amazing animal life swim + fly + sit from inside or outside your home including Dolphins, Manatees, Rays, Brown Pelicans, Blue Heron, Snowy Egret, Osprey (Sea hawks), White Ibis, and Wood Duck raft/team/paddling either in the backyard or on the pier pilings or next to the sea wall or in Sarasota Bay. • Walk our 2 Paddleboards + 2 Kayaks down concrete stairs directly from the seawall into Sarasota Bay 15 feet behind home or from Jet Ski dock + paddle to Bridge Street Pier, historic Cortez fishing village, Beercan Beach on Longboat Pass, Jewfish/Goliath Key, or wherever else you like around AMI! • Watch the mainland thunderstorms + lightning + even NASA rocket launches at Cape Canaveral on clear days or nights over the inter-coastal Sarasota Bay and see sheets of rainwater coming toward the home. • Water views everywhere with 18 new windows + sliding glass doors all around the home. • Enjoy the night lights of Bridge Street Pier, Cortez Bridge, downtown Sarasota, and the anchored boats in Sarasota Bay. • Listen to Live Music while on the Dock/Deck/Backyard from the wonderful performers at Bridgetender Tiki Bar! • Jet Ski (rent or bring your own) to ride it directly up onto our 2 Jet Ski docks. • Boat Slip rental 4 blocks away at Bradenton Beach Marina - https://bradentonbeachmarina.com/boat-storage/ • Grill outdoors on deck • Beach Jetty access into the Gulf of Mexico for views and fishing off Cortez Beach off 6th Street. • Coquina Beach is only 6 blocks to the south connected to Cortez Beach! • Coquina Baywalk + Coquina Boat ramp on Leffis Key only 12 blocks to the south. • Beercan Beach on Longboat Pass only 15 blocks to the south or a boat/jet ski/kayak/paddleboard ride away. • Unlike bay homes further north on AMI, Gulf of Mexico water currents through Longboat Pass provide lack of decay so there are no foul or decaying plant smells. • Cornhole bean bag toss game + board games. • Renovated kitchen. • Dish Network satellite TV with DVR for recording shows while at the beach or on Sarasota Bay or at Bridge Street. • High-speed Wireless internet for webcasts. • First floor of duplex is also available for family reunion or friends reunion, wedding, private party, and for complete privacy for the salt water pool + dock = see "On the Water" at www.Vrbo.com/1920035 Sleeping arrangements: • King bedroom 1 with en suite bathroom with new vanity + new shower + toilet, closet, lights, ceiling fan. • King bedroom 2 with Sarasota Bay views, glass French Doors, closet, lights, ceiling fan. Next to primary bathroom. • Queen bedroom with closet, lights, and ceiling fan. • Full sleeper sofa in living room. Our original 1940 AMI home is renovated and much easier to navigate than new-build 3-story homes on Anna Maria Island because our first floor is on the ground level and the second floor is one easy set of stairs. Other rebuilt homes on the island usually require climbing multiple flights of stairs up or taking small elevators. Florida's best-kept secret, Anna Maria Island (AMI), features beautiful white sugar sand beaches, older Florida charm, award-winning restaurants, and shopping all within easy walking distance or a ride aboard the free "Anna Maria Island Trolley". One of the few places in the world where the sunset is regularly applauded, this tiny slice of paradise stretches for 7 miles into the Gulf. Just across the Cortez bridge on the south side of the island, is the old school Florida fishing village of Cortez, where restaurants have excellent seafood and some have live music. Please consider bringing more family/friends to our 14 Florida Beach Homes or 8 Colorado Mountain Lodges or 4 Tennessee Lake/Country Homes on either Vrbo or the other primary platform.
