About this property
Kingfish: *Canalfront *Paddleboards *Putt Putt *Heated Pool *Hot Tub
You want WARMTH –You want SUN – You NEED BEACH – KINGFISH is just the thing! Escape to one of Anna Maria Island’s most private sanctuaries for the senses. Bright and cheery- and so so beachy. Kingfish is in the heart of Anna Maria Island. Down a sandy path past two houses is Tampa Bay Beach plus a playground. Only a stroll north is the turquoise water of the Gulf of Mexico and famous Bean Point.
Outside is where the action is with a heated pool, a putt putt golf course, and a large wrap around deck plus a private dock. You will enjoy the glowing sunrise and sunsets each day, tropical breezes and if you are lucky---dolphin and manatee sightings. If the season is right, you won't have to look long for crabs, sting rays and huge snook swimming freely right off your dock! Amid flowering vines and palm fronds, is a sparkling pool. Want to explore? This home provides two paddleboards! Need a break from the sun? Move into the shade for some ping pong, or a cool one at the outside bar. A large dining table with eight chairs, comfy couch and double rocker plus barbeque all make entertaining al fresco a cinch. The front porch is all Florida plantation-style with porch swings and two old-fashioned rocking chairs.
The romantic and private master bedroom has a sea-blue king size four poster bed, private bathroom plus boasts a view of the Tampa Bay beach. A nautical-inspired bedroom features a queen bed with Ralph Lauren linens, a third bedroom has a king bed plus vivid coral furnishings while a fourth bedroom features two pretty-in-pink twin beds. A fifth bright and colorful bedroom is furnished with twin-over-twin bunk beds and a third hall bathroom accommodates a houseful of guests and children. Each of the three adult bedrooms has a flat screen TV, plus a high definition TV, VCR and stereo in the living room. Cable, wireless and free long distance will keep you connected. Three bathrooms plus an outdoor shower makes vacationing in a group even more fun.
Bring the family or your significant other. Once you here, you'll always come back.

We had a great stay. House was fabulous and location was close to everything. We loved the outside set up and access to the canal with the paddle boards.
We have been going to Anna Maria for the last 3 years and this property has been the best of our stays! Amenities like the dock, paddleboards, heated pool and spa were used daily! We even saw manatees off the dock. The walk to bean point is so easy and it’s super close to the shops on Pine Ave. The property managers were super responsive (even on 4th of July). We had an incredible stay.
We arrived as scheduled for our week stay. Initial impression was the house was clean. After settling in we discovered a few minor issues we had to work through, including, Pool pump/spa not functioning properly, pool was dirty, locating correct TV remotes, limited silverware for our group of 6 adults, 2 3 year olds and 2 younger than 18 months.We discovered that the vast majority of amenities were very basic, least expensive products. Grill worked but not very well. Fishing rod lines were knotted and not usable. Outdoor lights broken, not replaced, ping pong table in disrepair, etc. Our family had a great time, but seemed to constantly have smill issues come up that we're not needed. We called regarding the pool and maintenance man was VERY responsive. Resolved initial problem, but spa did not function correctly. Pool company came up the next morning and cleaned pool, but had to return after we complained about debris on bottom of pool. Shade over pool was great, but some of the trees constantly dropped buds into pool and required me to use the net with holes it multiple times a day just to stay ahead. Not what I wanted to do on vacation but it was a simple task. Paddle boards were fun, but again, lack of quality products disappointed us. 1 paddle would extend to adjust to height while the other paddle did not and made it difficult to use. A/C worked great, but we did discover mold in upstairs guest bathroom. Master Bath had been renovated. Vanity too small.
The house is at a wonderful location, very close to the beach. Everything we needed was available or easy to get. The only suggestion that I would have is to make stairs inside and the bathrooms handicap friendly. Hope to come back in the future.
Overall this place was good and very clean, we would stay again. The location was a 10, the house was an 8. The house needed some repairs and updates: primary bath had a corner sink that was sized for kids, not adults, full bath upstairs had a wicker mirror hung with fishing line at a height for people 5 ft and under, cushions on porch furniture flat, need to be replaced, house sleeps 10, but only 6 seats around pool and 8 at dining table, screens missing on some windows, and when we arrived we found out pool heater wouldn’t work if below 60, ok but hot tub should be heated. Again would stay again, but there were only 6 of us, wouldn’t stay with more than 8!

I will definitely be back soon ! I’m in love with Ana Maria Island
The location is great, tucked into a quiet neighbor with very close proximity to the beach and shopping. Can’t wait to go back. Would definitely stay at this property again!
We loved how we could spend almost all of our time outside on the amazing wrap around porch and very private pool and dock area, but only 3 min bike ride from coffee & breakfast. Tucked away and quiet and really enjoyable. We left feeling so relaxed!
We thoroughly enjoyed Kingfish house! It was clean, fully stocked with all the necessities and we used the pool and dock every day! Very convenient location to the bay and the gulf sides and we enjoyed walking to Bean Point and both piers! We will definitely be back!!
Home was accurately described! It was great having the pool and access to the bay from the inlet! Everything in one place made for lots of experiences and fun! The squirrels love Cheerios and the parrots were so cool to see!!
Great location! We rented bikes to get to the beach access, restaurants, etc. The house has beach towels, comfortable furniture, comfortable beds, and an amazing back deck. The pool area is so relaxing and we enjoyed playing ping pong. Looking forward to returning next year.
Had a blast on Anna Maria. Beautiful location for this property. Close to everything on the quiet side of the island. When we needed to hot tub panel reset due to a power outage, Wes was quick to stop by and get it up and running. We will be back!
Great house and location. Only recommendation that we have for the owners is to remove palm tree that sits over the pool. With all the trees around pool hard to get sunlight especially with the palm tree.
Stayed with my whole family of ten and it could not have been more perfect! It was the perfect size for everyone with plenty of room. We enjoyed the porch seating as well. I was expecting the place to be a little cleaner but over all it was very nice. We enjoyed the pool everyday, all day when we weren’t on the beach. I would suggest getting a golf cart or bikes as the walk to the beach is about 10-15 minutes. We already can’t wait to come back !
My wife and I are visiting Anna Maria Island for the month and wanted a place for our two sons to come down with their families to visit for a long weekend. There were five bedrooms so plenty of room for everyone. Having a pool kept the grandkids happy and our grandson loved fishing from the dock on the back of the property. The large table on the back porch made a great place for us to gather. It was an easy walk to the beach and restaurants and ice cream. We would highly recommend the house.
The house and property are wonderful but we found the house lacked basic supplies normally found in our rental properties over the past ten years. We were also disappointed in the cleanliness of the property and spent our first night cleaning so we would be comfortable. Outside of that, the house was fun and perfect for a family!
What a haven! We were 10 girls looking for a weekend away to celebrate a dear friends pending nuptials. This house offered us the space and tranquility we were looking for with easy access to some island excitement. The well stocked kitchen, gorgeous private back yard, heated pool, hot tub, plethora of seating, large porches, and comfortable beds made in house entertaining easy peasy. When we wanted to get into trouble, we were able to take a short ride on the Monkey Bus to stroll down Bridge Street. We are already planning our return visit.
