Sassy Seahorse: Heated pool, hot tub, ping pong, Foosball and pool table!

Welcome to your perfect Anna Maria Island getaway! This highly rated home offers a private retreat with one of the larger pools on the island, a beautifully landscaped backyard, and a 20' tall tiki hut - hand-built by Native Americans - featuring a bar and seating for six. Lounge by the spa, play poolside games, or fire up the grill on one of two spacious decks with outdoor dining.

Inside, you'll find quality furnishings, a large master suite with a king bed, a whimsical guest room with two twin beds, and nook in the living room with a full futon for extra sleeping space. The spacious family and game rooms, plus a dining area for six, provide plenty of room to relax. Enjoy smart TVs, games, books, and more for entertainment.

This prime North End location means you’re just a short walk from the island’s best experiences. Stroll to the bay beaches, take the "secret path" shortcut out the back gate to North Bay Park, or enjoy fresh seafood at the nearby restaurants. The famous Gulf beaches, City Pier, and charming Pine Avenue shops are all within a 10-minute walk, while the free island trolley makes exploring even easier. Whether you're dolphin-watching, spotting wild parrots, or collecting sand dollars on the shore, nature lovers will be in paradise.

With its unbeatable location and top-notch amenities, this home is the perfect island escape. Book now and make unforgettable memories!

Relaxing family beach trip

The property was a perfect home base for our family of four. Our youngest still naps so we appreciated the great pool and outdoor areas to utilize during naps after a break from the beach or fishing. The listing is exactly as stated and the owner is very helpful with any questions. Would highly recommend to others and return ourselves.

Great beach getaway!

Clean and convenient rental home with a fabulously tropical outdoor living space. Pool and bit run were great, tiki bar fun. Love the lush tropical landscaping. Short walk to bean point, where a manatee swims by daily in the afternoon. Lots of dolphins to be seen also on AMI. Highly recommend a walk down to shops on Pine St as well.

Amazing villa and amazing location

From the moment we walked in the villa we felt at home. The layout of the home worked perfectly for us. The property was really clean and every detail had been thought of. We loved all the pool toys and played many games of pool volleyball. We loved the location, we could walk to the beach and to restaurants and shops. The sunset at Bean point was magical. We ate dinner at Rod and Reel pier and watched dolphins swimming. All in all a magical place and one we hope to return to. Thank you Larry and Carol.

Truly Perfect

We could not have enough wonderful things to say about this house and location. It was perfect for quiet evenings, beautiful sunsets on Bean Point, and a close walk to Rod & Reel Pier and Pine St. restaurants and shops. We rented a golf cart to be able to visit the further beaches and more easily find parking there. The home was comfortable, clean, and was the perfect amount of vacation quirky. Nobody wants to vacation in a neutral space that looks more like your home. The pool was relaxing after a hot beach day. The beds and furniture were cozy and comfortable. We had all we needed and more there at the home to entertain us and cook and even all the things necessary to enjoy the beach. Larry was a lovely person to talk to when he checked in to make sure that we were settled in well. It was a perfect vacation for our family and it’s a difficult place to leave!

Best House on the Island

This home is absolutely beautiful. The pictures are great, but to see the house and experience it in person is even better. The inside is perfectly decorated. So much care has been taken to carry the theme throughout the house. It is a very relaxing home. The hosts provide you with everything you need to enjoy your stay. That's just the inside. The outside is just amazing. The owners have created a perfect secluded paradise with the pool, hot tub and tiki hut. And the outdoor shower is the greatest! If you can pry yourself away from the house, it is in the perfect location. Quick walk to Bean Point, Rod and Reel and City Pier. Super quiet neighborhood. The owners are just the nicest people you could ever meet. If you are looking for the best place to get away for a relaxing stay on the island, this is the place. We will be back again!

Great location, extremely well stocked, incredible pool area

While not on the beach directly, access to the beach was simple (couple blocks walk). Even on the 4th of July weekend the portion of the beach we accessed was much less crowded than other beaches we've gone to during the same time period. Being within walking distance was hugely beneficial since parking at the access point was extremely limited. The property itself was immaculate and well stocked with plenty of bath and beach towels, extra sheets and pillows, starter soap, paper towels, and toilet paper. The kitchen was the most well stocked we've seen, with plenty of cooking, serving, and utensils and (uncharacteristic of other places we stayed) plenty of NICE containers for leftovers. The biggest draw for the "sassy seahorse", though, is the pool area in the back yard. Beautifully landscaped and private, the area was SO relaxing any time of day, and beautifully lit at night. Even in the heat of the day, the tiki hut with its fan was fine for dining outside. While there are certainly newer and bigger properties closer to the beach, in peaking over the fences I still feel this property had the nicest and most private of any we saw. We would definitely go back to the Sassy Seahorse.

This was our first visit after the hurricanes. It was wonderful to see the resilience and hard work from everyone on AMI. We can't wait to visit again.

This place is excellent, inside and out. The house is perfectly maintained, spacious and very comfortable. The backyard with pool is even better. Great place to lounge after a day on the beach. Location is excellent, 2 blocks from bay, 4 blocks from beach at northern tip. Larry was a a perfect host. Always responded immediately if we had any questions.

This was the perfect place to stay with my husband and our son (just under a yr old). The house was the perfect size for us and had anything we needed from frying pans to pool/beach supplies. The location is also great as you’re within walking distance to both the beach and the bay. We’re already planning our trip for next year and will be returning to the Sassy Seahoirse. Owners were great and very easy to communicate with.

Sassy Seahorse; A Perfect Get-away

Our trip to Anna Maria Island was Thirty-three days of lush, tropical paradise that my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed. The house was clean, comfortable, and supplied with everything we could possibly need during our stay. It was also beautifully furnished and adorned with colorful art throughout. The pool/spa area was an oasis of tall flourishing palm trees, colorful plant life, and whimsical garden art. And to top it off, there was a large, furnished tiki bar for us to enjoy! Our host, Larry was excellent! We’ve never experienced a more accommodating host. If we could give the Sassy Seahorse a 10-star rating, we would.
