The Boathouse

Would you like to feel like you are sleeping in a tree house with all the luxuries and comfort of a high end hotel? Then welcome to our brand new guest house, which accommodates a maximum of two guests and is a completely private tropical oasis. Standing on the edge of Lake LaVista, surrounded by tropical palms where you have use of the private and beautiful pool which we heat during the winter months.

A kitchenette includes a fridge/freezer, microwave/convection oven with air fryer, dual induction hotplate and dishwasher. Small appliances include a Keurig coffee maker, Nutribullet blender, toaster and electric kettle.
Seating for two at the kitchen island.
Plenty of comfortable seating in the lounge where there is a Samsung Smart TV.
The master bedroom has a king bed with a luxury firm Wink mattress. Plenty of closet space and a Samsung Smart TV. There is an en-suite bathroom with large walk-in rain shower along with handheld shower with Bluetooth speaker.
The home is supplied with pristine sheets and towels, including beach towels and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries.
The home comes complete with a Miele washing machine and dryer.
It is the outside that is nothing short of magical. The large deck, complete with a Weber gas grill and sun loungers overlooks the beautiful pool and the canal where you can almost touch the manatees swimming by. On the first floor there is a further covered seating area with comfortable hanging chairs perfect for curling up and reading a book. There is also an outside dining table and chairs.
The beautiful tropical garden is lit at night and enjoys a privacy that is hard to find elsewhere on the island as we are not overlooked from other homes.
A note about the pool heat. While the pool is heated during the winter months as with all pool heat, at times when the ambient temperature drops too low (50’s and 60’s) the heaters will be unable to operate.
We respectfully ask that you respect our house rule regarding the number of guests at the house. Only the 2 guests staying are permitted at the house - no other visitors.

When you're ready to explore beyond your private oasis, you can easily access everything on foot or by bike. Located just one block north of Pine Avenue, you'll find shops and restaurants right around the corner. The Anna Maria Community Theater, Porch restaurant, and unlimited access to our pristine beaches are all at one end of Pine, while at the other end you can enjoy the sights and sounds of Tampa Bay and the historic Anna Maria City Pier. Heading into Holmes or Bradenton Beaches? A stop for the free Island Trolley is just steps away in front of the Anna Maria Historic Society Museum!
