About this property

Love Shack on the Water Most desirable location on AMI

  • Located on Pine Ave just steps from shops, the General Store, restaurants, the pier, beach, pier fishing, and the trolley. Look out the patio with views of Tampa Bay and watch the boats, manatees, dolphins, snook, and birds flock by.
    This 2 bedroom 2 bath is a rare find at the Bayou. It is completely renovated with a modern beach vibe. It is a place to relax, escape and renew. When you are ready to socialize, no car needed, just walk out the door and you are in the most desirable area of the Anna Maria Island. Grab a fishing pole and you never know what you will catch.
    Walk to the pier or The Sandbar for the most amazing sunsets in the world. Looking for a place of prayer, meditation or a place to elope? Historic Roser Chapel is right next door.

Great stay on Anna Maria

Great location and place to stay. Easy access to the city pier and restaurants and the beach. We enjoyed being able to walk across the street to get coffee in the mornings and ice cream at night. Accommodations worked great for our family. Bring quarters if you plan to do laundry.

Loving the “Love Shack”

From the moment we entered the “Love Shack”…we knew this would be a fun Anniversary Getaway. It was perfect… clean, very well furnished and kitchen so easy to use. The decor is beach and very comfortable. It is a short walk to the beach, great shopping, and several good restaurants. We loved our time there!
