Pelican Bay in Anna Maria
**ASK ABOUT LAST MINUTE DEALS!
Experience the serenity of Pelican Bay on Anna Maria Island, Florida. This charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom abode sleeps 6 and boasts a private boat dock and screened pool, just a short stroll from Bay beach and Bean Point.
Tucked away at the north end of the Island, this beautifully appointed home overlooks Lake LaVista and features a newly installed dock, perfect for boating or fishing excursions. Please note that high tide is recommended for launching. From here, navigate under two humpback bridges to explore Tampa Bay, the coast, and local eateries.
A quick walk of two blocks will take you to the wonderful Bayfront Park, a perfect spot to hit the beach with the kids, or walk just a little further is access to the beaches at Bean Point at the Island's very northern tip. Between it all is the famous Rod & Reel Pier, where you can fish, eat and drink morning, noon, and night!
Back at home you'll find attractive, contemporary amenities, like a beautifully remodeled and fully equipped kitchen, remodeled bathrooms and an easy floor plan with two primary bedrooms on either side of the living areas. One bedroom features a king bed and en suite bath that shares access with the public areas of the home, while the other features a queen bed and private en suite bath. Both bedrooms offer guests a chance to retreat and watch their own TV programs in the privacy of their room. A sleeping loft above the living room features two twin beds, and will be the kids' favorite spot to retreat.
Off the living room is another outdoor living room with its own mini fridge and an overlook to the pool below. Stairs from this outdoor space will take you right down to the pool for a quick swim, or beyond that to the dining area under the pergola, the perfect spot for enjoying dinner al fresco.
Boat launch at Holmes Beach Ramp at 6398 Marina Way, Holmes Beach, FL 34217 at the Holmes Beach Ramp, in the center of the island. Trailer parking at the ramp, while boating, and at the property. Ask our Staff for details.

Great place to stay during your time on Anna Maria Island!
This house is close to everything! We were initially concerned about the air conditioner not working properly, but once the house cooled down to the preferred temperature it was a comfortable stay. It was warm in the loft, but luckily we didn’t need that space.
... and close to the bay. We were hoping to put in our kayaks and paddle boards off the dock into the lagoons, but unfortunately, the dock isn't set up for that. other than that, we really enjoyed the pool and the big, open kitchen.
We stayed on Anna Maria for vacation again this year and we believe we may have found the islands sweet spot. This house on pelican was fantastic. It is a very quiet area, but it is close to so much. Having stayed closer to Pine Avenue, Holmes beach, Bean point, and the piers this location got us in the heart of all of those island hot spots without a lot of traffic or travel time.
The house itself is a great layout for anyone staying with Kids or early risers. My wife and I took the Master off the kitchen while the kids were on basically the opposite side of the house. The pool area Is fantastic, and definitely became the focal point of many of our nights. I found myself sitting on the dock looking at the stars, listening to the fish jump, seeing dolphins, and just being amazed that such a place could exist. The beds were comfy, the shower water was warm enough for even my wife which is saying something, the kitchen was up-to-date and well equipped, and there is even a disco party light that lights up the entire second floor with a light show that we at first laughed at, but the kids grew to love and so did we. We had nothing to request Maintenance for, but I did speak with the office pre booking and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice everyone was.
We have been to countless houses and they often fall flat on personality, comfort, or location, but this house definitely did not. It literally felt like home away from home. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We were disappointed in the condition of the house based on the price we paid per night, however the location of the house was very close to all the local shops and restaurants. The house wasn't well maintained, with broken/missing blinds, missing light bulbs, loose faucets, broken toilet paper holder, rotten balcony and stairway wood, broken dishwasher (which was fixed half way through our trip after calling 3 times), broken washer, no light in the refrigerator, broken burner on the stove, holes in the drywall walls and ceilings. The pool was a fiberglass shell with many chipped sections at the bottom and broken tiles along the edge (made it hard to enjoy the pool). The furniture in the home was worn, with only 2 old, plastic Adirondack chairs at the pool. The room in the loft with the 2 twin beds was extremely hot and uncomfortable. Seems as though many of these items were damaged back in August 2023, based on the review from Lissa. When we booked the house, I assumed that many of these items had been fixed. If you bring a boat, make sure you don't have a t-top due to the requirement to go under 2 bridges to get out to the bay. If the house was listed at a lower price, my expectations would have been different and I don't think I would have as many complaints.
The house was beautiful and easily walkable to the beach. Everything was clean and very well maintained. We loved the dock and the openness of the house. We would love to book again in the future!
My family stayed at in early April 2023. The property was as advertised, well maintained and equipped with everything we needed during our weeklong stay. I would definitely stay here again, and I recommend this property to others.
Great place to vacation. Needs a little maintenance for light bulbs burned out and loose faucet in the bathroom. Other than a few minor issues we loved our stay here. Thank you!
We had a great time, house was very spacious and location was great as well. Pool does need to be updated, but overall very pleased with the home and our stay.
We were getting married at the sandbar down the street and wanted to be close to the restaurant. Property was just the right distance to everything. All our family were close too. Property was pretty clean. There were a few AC vents that were dirty but overall, we really enjoyed our stay!
The location was fabulous the rental was nice. The only downfall was at night you were not able to get onto Netflix, etc. through their TV. And the pool was cold not heated..
This property was perfect for our trip. We stayed a month and this house was super comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the quiet neighborhood and being on the canal for fishing, kayaking or bird watching. The house is exactly as described in the listing. The screen room and pool are lovely and the pool heater worked well. We bought kayaks to use during our stay but just one thing to note, you can rent/bring kayaks, but there is no ladder or platform, so you can't really get into/out of your kayak unless the tide is in. This property was great!
location is great, could use some updates here and there, some new pots and pans. ice maker doesn't work in refrigerator. rental agency makes you keep the air at 74 and house gets stuffy at night. hard to sleep in a warm house. I recommend this property , if the air could be turned down would get 5 stars.
