Photos and Description of the Anna Maria vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Enjoy the quiet and comfort of SAPPHIRE SURF on the North end of Anna Maria Island. This enchanting two bedroom/two bath ranch style home is located on a quiet street and less than a 4 minute walk to Gulf Beach. Ranch style construction means easy access to and from the house with no steps to climb. The newly remodeled kitchen (2011) has granite countertops and is completely equipped with dishwasher, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, blender, George Forman electric grill, and all the conveniences of a modern well equipped kitchen. The dining room opens to the lanai screened enclosure. The new in ground pool provides an amazing outdoor extension from the lanai and the elegant interior. The pool can be heated at an additional cost. Just let us know your preference. Backyard is surrounded by a privacy fence.

The patio around the new pool is professionally landscaped. There is a grilling patio just outside the lanai enclosure to provide our guests with the flexibility to enjoy the grounds while grilling the fresh catch (or steak) of your choice. The patio includes comfortable seating/sunbathing chairs and an outdoor hot/cold shower. While smoking is strictly prohibited in our home, you may feel free to smoke outside on the patio.

The master bedroom contains a king size bed, full chest of drawers for your clothes, large closet, its own ceiling fan, 42” Plasma HDTV, telephone, alarm clock. A bathroom is next to the bedroom and has a single sink, walk in shower, commode, hairdryer, and weight scale.

The second bedroom has two queen size beds, full chest of drawers for clothes, large walk-in closet, 32” TV, and alarm clock. This en suite bedroom has a tub/shower, commode, and single sink.

Our family room, which is connected to the dining room, is used for relaxing, internet access, and enjoying the entertainment system. It contains a sofa, three comfortable chairs, along with a DVD player, and 42” LCD HDTV. Movies can be rented at the local Publix grocery store. Free high speed cable internet service is provided during your stay. Just bring your laptop or tablet and hook up. The telephone allows for free calling within the continental United States.

We have tried to provide you with everything you need to make your vacation a memorable one. You’ll find games for the kids, beach chairs, beach cart to pull to the beach, toys, pool noodles, beach towels, all linens, hand soap, and a whole lot more. You will find it easy to rent items on the island, like, bikes, boats, kayaks, beach supplies, baby supplies, or a golf cart. Upon your arrival, you will find a binder in our home that includes information on the island, restaurant’s, things to do, how to rent items, local attractions, etc.

Best of all we’re located within walking distance to almost anything you may want to do or may need, and if you want to go further, we are only one block from the FREE ANNA MARIA TROLLEY STOP, corner of

Willow and Gulf. Historic Pine Avenue is a short 4 block walk that has quaint shops, cafes, restaurants, including the General Store, Ginny's and Jane E’s where you can browse the gift shop or sit down with locals in the café. Grocery shopping couldn’t be more convenient with the Publix store being only 3 miles away (which can be reached via the trolley).

Family Circle Magazine, May/2012 Issue, page 90, article, 'The Best of Florida' boasts about Anna Maria's NO high-rises, NO big-chain hotels or NO fast-food restaurants-just vintage bungalows, small-scale condos and mom-and-pop shops. Ditch the car and ride your bike to the bay and Gulf beaches. Please consider our adorable beach home, SAPPHIRE SURF, as your destination choice.

Our goal is simple: We provide a high quality rental experience at a fair price. Contact us for availability.

We chose Anna Maria for our honeymoon destinations. We chose sapphire surf because we wanted a pool and a location near the beach. We received the best of everything. A beautiful home with all the amenities of home, gorgeous pool and only 2 blocks from the beach! Everything was perfect! Can't wait to return. This is truly a gem!

We had a wonderful time at Sapphire Surf! The house was clean, well-maintained and charming. We loved the pool, porch and the location to the beach was ideal! Sapphire Surf is also in walking distance to many excellent restaurants. Our favorites were the Sandbar, Waterfront and Ginny & Jane's. Be sure to take the free trolley to Bradenton and have ice cream at Joe's Eats and Sweets. We look forward to our next visit to Sapphire Surf!!

Return Visit!

This was our second stay at Sapphire Surf so we knew that we could expect a great stay during our time on the island. Ramona has obviously worked hard to maintain the high standards that had already been set during our previous visit. Plenty of activities on the island from paddleboarding and kayaking to parasailing and golf, for a more relaxed pace, you can visit Leffis Key at the south of the island and explore the mangroves and boardwalks. Sapphire Surf is a very short walk to the beach and trolley stop, or you can take a stroll along Pine Avenue to explore the local boutique shops. There is also a wide choice of restaurants on the island with several being a short walk from the house. We are already planning our next visit :-)

We have just returned from Sapphire Surf and one of the best girls' trips we've ever had. Ramona and Mark have gone to great lengths to think of everything for their renters. The house is in the perfect location, the amenities are fabulous and we will definitely return next year. We've been to Anna Maria before, but this was our first time at Sapphire Surf. It was the ideal place for a group of six ladies to celebrate two milestone birthdays. I just cannot say enough good things about the place. Even the neighbors were fabulous!! Thank you, Ramona and Mark. We loved your home!

Returning for our second stay at Sapphire Surf we were not disappointed as Ramona continues to maintain this special place in immaculate condition with everything you'll need for your beach side vacation on the Gulf. Although the weather was cooler than usual for this time of year we still were able to walk and ride to our favorite restaurants and shops and take in the spectacular sunsets at the beach. We already have our reservation made for 2014!

This is the ultimate Island Beach House!! Everything you could ever need or want is either at the house or within walking distance. Ramona is wonderful! She handled every aspect of the rental experience very professionally and with a special personal touch. We absolutely loved the home. It is perfectly located within walking distance to the Anna Maria Pier, Pine Street Shops, the Sandbar Restaurant for watching the sunset and the beach!! Looking forward to our next trip to Sapphire Surf!! Thanks so much Ramona :)

This is perfect for a couple. Very clean, nicely furnished, convenient but very quiet street. I walked to the general store for the paper and a muffin in the morning and enjoyed them on the lanai. Paddle around in a warm pool, enjoy the weather and totally relax. If you like AMI, this is as good as it gets. Wish we could go back tomorrow.

I would like to keep this one for myself. Everything was as described including the welcome phone call from the owner. We have rented vrbo several times and this home is the best. Everyone (6 to 56) was happy. House is open floor plan great for family. Pool was very nice and the screened porch was a nice gathering spot. Beach was easy walk as were several restaurants. We are coming back!!

We had the most amazing time at the beach. The house was perfect for our family. The children loved playing in the pool and enjoyed the short walk to the beach. The owners called the day of our arrival to make sure everything was ok and they called during the week to check it. This is the first time we have used VBRO and was very pleased. We loved the added touch with the photo album that the family asked to add photos and add a description of our stay. My boys couldn't wait to take a family picture to add to it. We will definitely come back again and stay at this wonderful beach house. Thanks for making it feel like home.

Great cottage

The moment we stepped into this lovely cottage, we felt very at home, it has everything you could possible want for a very relaxing holiday. We have been to Anna Maria a few times now and the north end is our favourite, this cottage is perfect a few minutes walk to the beach and some very good restaurants, we love Rod and Reel for breakfast and the Sandbar for lunch or dinner. The communication was very good with Ramona, even down to her phoning us on the day of arrival to make sure everything was ok.
Owner's Response: As a homeowner, I feel very blessed when my guests add a review to my VRBO website. My goal is to create an enthusiasm among my guests to enjoy our home as if it is their home as well. This thank you goes out to all my guests who have stayed at Sapphire Surf, a heartfelt thank you for your patronage. If you are considering a stay with us, I hope you give us a chance as your VRBO destination choice. Thanks again. Ramona
