Desirable North-End Gem on Canal with Dock, Heated Pool. Clean and Spacious.

Welcome to paradise! Pelican Perch is a spacious, three-bedroom, two-bath house, located on a canal and a quiet cul-de-sac at the desirable "North of Pine" end of Anna Maria Island.

The house has a very open floor plan and numerous seating and dining areas. The dining room has double doors that open onto a porch with a seating area that overlooks the private, heated pool and canal. There is a master suite with a king bed and adjoining bathroom, one bedroom with 2 twin beds, one bedroom with a queen and a twin bed, and a private bonus room with a queen pullout couch.

Rent bikes, kayaks, and golf carts (rental companies deliver for free) or hop on the free trolley or Monkey Bus ($5) and explore the 7-mile-long island.

Evenings are especially beautiful with the soft sound of the birds settling for the night and breathtaking sunsets. You’ll never want to leave!

Quiet location

We had a wonderful stay! The property is in a quiet location, yet just a short walk to the ocean and several great restaurants—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We really enjoyed spending time at the pool, and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. The laundry room was super convenient, especially for a longer stay. The beds were also very comfortable, making it easy to unwind at the end of the day.

Great family home! Super comfortable.

I would highly recommend staying at this home on Anna Maria. We had a slight hiccup during the check in process and property managers, but the owners responded quickly and took care of everything. The house was spotless and considering there were 2 major hurricanes just 10 weeks ago, the property was in excellent shape. The kitchen had everything we needed to prep dinners. We did not use pool but was ready for use. I particularly liked the back porch for morning coffee, looking out to the canal. If the property management issue had not happened it would have been a perfect stay. The walkability to Pine Street and restaurants as well as the beaches was a plus. I rated it a 5 because the owners responded and took care of us immediately and all the other advantages to this property. This is a great value for Anna Maria. It may not be the most modern property but it certainly met all of our needs.

Nice property-great owners!

We arrived the evening before Tropical Storm/Hurricane Debby, unfortunately. The roads around us completely flooded and we were stuck inside for 2 days. But that's not so bad considering what it could have been. The house is very nice, pool is great. Location is great - 3 blocks to nice beach on bay side. We rented golf carts which helped with getting to the beaches. Had a couple small issues (dining room light not working, no remote for the TV) but the owners were extremely responsive!!! Had the light fixed the next day and a new remote ordered and delivered in just a day or 2. The house was perfect for me, my husband, and our 2 adult sons. We really enjoyed our time here. The responsiveness of the owners cannot be overstated - really appreciated that! I think my main complaint would be the lighting in the house - especially the master bath. Maybe consider adding some lighting but other than that, it was great.

Summer in AMI

This house was pretty. It is a little bit older house. The room down stairs ( we called it the pool room) was super hot. We didn’t spend any time in there. However the rest of the house was exactly what we expected. Very clean, a ton of towels, all appliances worked, and had a lot of board games to play. The outside pool area was nice and we loved

Fantastic House!

This is the second time we have stayed here! They have made some wonderful upgrades to the house. We love the outdoor shower and the screened in pool! There is plenty of room for our family of 7 to play games and eat together in the evening! We especially enjoyed the charcoal grill. The house is in a fantastic location - easily accessible to everything AMI has to offer by bikes or walking. We look forward to staying here again!

Great spot!

This was our 2nd time in Anna Maria, and this house was great. There were 7 of us, and the house was plenty comfortable. My whole family loved swimming in the pool, fishing and kayaking off the dock, and the short distance to town and beaches. Literally a 4 minute walk to sunrise and 10 minute walk to sunset. Communication with owners and property management company was easy, timely, and thorough. Definitely would recommend for a great family vacation.

Outstanding experience

We had an outstanding experience at Debbie's place. It was spacious and we used the pool and dock quite a bit. The house is a full walk from Pine, and a little further to the beach, so we rented a golf cart for both weeks (at about $400/week). Even though check-in requires picking up actual keys at a property management co, the process was efficient. Debbie was an outstanding host, very responsive, and even left us with a couple fully rigged fishing rods at our request! We highly recommend this property.

Convenient, quiet location

This home was very conveniently located on a quiet cul-de-sac. We really enjoyed the upper deck seating area and private pool. There are many interesting pieces of artwork and curio in the house that adds a warm feeling to the space. As just a couple staying here, we had more than enough room but also see how this rental could be great for a larger group. Some updates to the appliances and decor would only enhance the appeal of this property. The owner is friendly and interested in your experience being a good one. Check-in and check-out through the property management company was problem free. This was our first visit to Anna Maria Island and the location of this home could not have been better. We were able to walk to both piers, the beach areas and the restaurants and shops very easily.

Fantastic Property!

We had an excellent stay at this property. Great location on a canal on the North Side of the island. Cottage was great and had everything we needed. Two small areas of opportunities: 1. Replace the charcoal BBQ with a propane one. It will help guests cook meals faster. 2. Review the check in process. Our name was not listed on the envelope containing the keys (the owner's name was listed in error). This translated into quite a bit of confusion and return visits to the agency on the day of check in to get the keys.
