About this property

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. At Pelican Perch, you’ll find 3 bedrooms, a large living room, a den with a sofa bed, 2 full baths, a dining room and a fully-equipped kitchen. 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. The house is fully equipped with all the comforts of home including free wifi and five televisions.

Out back, enjoy the large private lanai with a lovely heated pool, an outdoor dining area, a ceiling fan, lounge chairs, a gas grill and a charcoal grill (guests are responsible for charcoal and propane), and a large enclosed outdoor shower with hot/cold water. The private dock also has a floating dock attached to secure your boat for tide changes, as well as counter for preparing fish (refer to daily tide chart for high/low tides to clear bridges). It is a perfect place to launch your kayak, sip your morning coffee, and maybe see a manatee! For your beach enjoyment, there are beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, and a pushcart.

This clean and comfortable house is centrally located and you do not need a car! The house is a short stroll, bike, boat or golf-cart ride to the Gulf of Mexico's powder-sand beaches, Bayfront Park Beach and two fishing piers - City Pier and Rod & Reel Pier. 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.

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 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.

Amazing Vacation Property

This is our second year renting this property. We love it! Great space, nice outdoor area with upper deck, pool and of course the dock backing on one of the canals. Our favourite spot to sip our morning coffee while watching the fish jump by. We highly recommend it!!!

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.

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

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.

Absolutely perfect!

We couldn’t have asked for anything more! The house was very comfortable and exceeded our expectations. The covered pool was very clean and relaxing. We rented a boat for the week and it was very convenient being able to keep it at the house. The location of the house is in a quiet residential area. The week prior to our stay wasn’t booked so we were able to add on extra days with no issues making this vacation exceptional. Highly recommend this property and we can’t wait to come back.

Cleanliness

It was a great location for sure with a short walk to almost anywhere on the north side of Island. Pool was great! Dock was perfect for our small boat. However, the house is old and needs a good DEEP cleaning. Doors and walls were dirty. Wouldn’t take much to get spruce it up.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Kling

Host profile image
We love Anna Maria Island, especially the wildlife and beautiful, uncrowded beaches on the peaceful north end. We have owned Pelican Perch for 12+ years and take great pride in keeping it clean and comfortable. It is our hope that our guests have a relaxing, joyful vacation and take-in everything our unique little island has to offer.

Why they chose this property

NOPA (North of Pine) is the most desirable area of the island. This is a very peaceful, less crowded part of Anna Maria Island.

What makes this property unique

The house is on a canal with a dock that also has a floating dock to secure boats and kayaks. It is a great place to watch birds, fish and manatees.
