When you arrive at the property you will notice ample parking for your whole party. When you enter the property, head up the stairs in the front of the home and enter your code. Once you enter you will see where the property gets its name, Crazy Mermaid! When you enter you will see off to the right, the dining room, but if you go straight behind the wall, you will see the family room with a fireplace, tv and plenty of seating for your whole family. You will also notice that this family room has a beautiful view of the water behind the home, which are canals that run throughout Anna Maria Island. You are welcome to exit the double doors to enjoy the screened in porch also overlooking the pool and canals. This is also a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee during the sunrise or at night (although the sun sets on the other side) you can see the beautiful colors of the sky as the sun sets. Heading back into the house, you will notice the kitchen on your left which will have all your necessities to make your family meals, as well as a breakfast bar, for some more casual dining. Attached to the kitchen is the laundry room and an additional pantry. On the other side of the family room you will also have guest bedrooms and a full bathroom. The first bedroom will have two beds, a queen and a twin. The other bedroom will have a king sized bed (made up of two twins). The guest bedroom with the king bed also has an entrance/exit to the back patio as well. Heading back out to the family room you will notice there are stairs near the front door. These stairs were handmade by the homeowners out of old library bookshelves. Once you get to the top of the handcrafted stairs, you will have another bedroom which will have a full bed. Next door to that, you will see the master suite. The master suite has an attached full bath with double vanities, a large walk in closet, as well as another gorgeous view of the canals behind the house. When you head back downstairs, through the family room to the relaxing screened in porch, you will be able to go down the back staircase leading to the back yard to put dinner on the grill provided. At the bottom of the stairs, you will be met by a pristine private pool which overlooks the canal and you will also see a private dock that leads to the waterway. If you want to pull up a chair and enjoy being out by the water, you can, or you can also throw a line in and catch some fish!

Getting to the beach | Getting to the beach is very easy! If you want to go the Bay side (Bayfront Park), go to Pine Ave and go right (east), when you get to Bay Blvd, you will see the AMI City Pier ahead. Take a left and you'll be there! It's less than a 15 minute walk! If you want to go to the OCEAN, head back down Tarpon, turn left on Magnolia and keep walking until you hit the beach. Don't worry, it's also less than a 15 minute walk! That is the best part of this location, you're in the middle of both bodies of water! |
Getting around | You can walk to most places if you enjoy getting out and walking in the beautiful weather. If you'd prefer to take a ride, feel free to rent a bike or golf cart to get around the island even quicker. There is also a shuttle that runs up and down the island, from Anna Maria City Pier to so the souther end of the island, Cocquina Beach. The trolley runs every 20 minutes starting at 6am to 9pm, and then every 30 minutes until 10:30pm. |
