Sunshine Reef by Anna Maria Vacations
308 Palm Avenue
Anna Maria, Fl 34216
VR16-000425

Sunshine Reef is a gorgeous 4 bedroom and 4 bathroom ground level private home that offers an incredible location on top of wonderful amenities that the whole family will enjoy. Located on the prestigious North end of Anna Maria Island, you are only two blocks away from the popular Pine Avenue adorned with quaint local restaurants and shops and only two blocks east of the gorgeous white sandy Gulf beaches.

Once you experience the amazing tropical backyard-you simply won't want to leave. Enriched with lush mature tropical landscaping, you will feel as though you are on your own private island. The large private heated pool is equipped with both a grand sun shelf and a swim up Tiki table-it doesn't get better than this.

Vacation time on Anna Maria Island is meant to be spent outdoors and there is nothing this luxurious backyard doesn't offer. From the covered pool side lanai with plenty of outdoor seating, the large flat screen TV, outdoor bar and so much more. Everything you might need on your vacation is already here-enjoy the breezes of the outdoor fans for those balmy summer days or make use of the heat lamps for extra comfort during winter nights. There is no better place to spend the holidays, spring break or just a family getaway for some quality time spent together!

The interior is just as impressive with beautiful furnishings throughout this lovely home. Enjoy three en-suites with their own private bathroom and a bedroom designed just for the little ones in mind.

Sunshine Reef offers a true tropical getaway experience with its wonderful backyard. Adorned with a large private heated pool that features a spacious sun shelf and a swim up Tiki table. Sit back, relax and soak up the sunshine on the sun shelf as you let all of your worries float away in the water or let the littles ones splash around and play safely in the shallower waters.

The grand covered deck is ideal for spending time outdoors and features plenty of seating--what better way to enjoy the game than poolside with an ice cold drink in your hand? The poolside bar, flatscreen TV and outdoor living area are just some of the fantastic amenities that Sunshine Reef offers.

Or simply stroll over to the beautiful beaches of the Gulf of Mexico for an exhilarating day by the beach.

AMAZING

By: Jess Schomaker Trip Date: 2023-05-06

This is the second year in a row we have been able to rent this amazing rental! This is our 9th year coming to the island and we absolutely love this house the most out of them all! HUGE bonus is everything being on one floor and not having any steps! Also, it is a prime location to all of our favorite spots on the Anna Maria side of the island. This house has everything that you need and more! Heck, have the time I never left the house because I was perfectly content on the back patio/in the pool!

Amazing

By: TB Trip Date: 2022-09-22

This home was everything we needed and more. The rooms are spacious and laid out to give everyone privacy. The outdoor area is relaxing and the beach is a short walk. We enjoyed this house so much even though it was cut short due to Ian. However Anna Maria vacations was great and communicated everything with us and we are booked already for next year!!!

Great time.

By: Laura Sommer Trip Date: 2020-06-13

We had a wonderful time in this house. It was very accommodating for a large family. Short walk to the beach, pier and ice cream. The pool and Lanai topped it off! -- Thank you for the 5 star review of Sunshine Reed, Laura!

Great!

By: Natascha Olive Trip Date: 2020-02-29

Great rental agency. We've booked two years in a row with them and any issues we've had- albeit minor- (trash overflowing from previous guests, leaking water from refrigerator) they've fixed right away! And the houses and locations are beautiful and clean! Will be using them everytime we come to Anna Maria -- Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review, Natascha! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay st Sunshine Reef! We are glad that we can continue to provide you with excellent customer service and look forward to welcoming you back as our guests every year!

Sunshine Reef

By: Allea Davenport Trip Date: 2019-05-30

We recently stayed at Sunshine Reef and it was wonderful. Fully stocked. Everything we needed and close to beach, shopping and restaurants. Anna Maria Vacations is also very responsive when we needed help with a few things. -- Anna Maria Vacations Thank you for the kind words Allea, we are very happy that you had a great time on your vacation. See you again soon!

Sunshine All The Way!

By: Fran Montgomery Trip Date: 2019-02-23

Sorry it's taken me SO long to get around to writing this, but we had a family bereavement and life has been hectic back here in England. Thinking back to February though - yet ANOTHER amazing week in yet ANOTHER Anna Maria Vacations Dream Home. Our family from the USA, Ireland and the UK get together once a year for a wonderful week together and once again the house could not have been better. A fantastic location with everything on our doorstep and so beautifully furnished and equipped, we wanted for nothing. Well, we could have done without two days of heavy rain, but we played games, sang and danced (I hope there were no complaints from neighbours!) and laughed a lot, so we still had a great time. The pool and the lovely covered patio / deck with all the comfy furniture was fabulous - especially good for the elderly Aunties..... We all wanted to take the Tortoise home with us. Good thing he is far too heavy to move! Thank you again AMI Vacations team for all YOU do to make our holidays so perfect and so memorable. We are already looking forward to seeing you all again in March next year. With all our love and thanks. Fran Montgomery and all the Catt Family. -- Thank you for leaving such a kind review, Fran! We are thrilled to hear about your wonderful stay at Sunshine Reef! We're so glad that you and your family enjoyed the pool, covered patio, beautifully furnished and well equipped home! We can't wait to have you all back in March!

Great place for families and friends

By: R. Williams Trip Date: 2017-11-15

A group of guys wanted a place for base camp for a golf trip and the Sunshine Reef did not disappoint. Just a short walk to the beach with awesome nightlife and still close enough to the many golf courses around the area. The house is perfect for a large family and just a few buddies just having fun. The outdoor area will blow your mind. Great bar with a big area to lounge and watch your favorite event and the pool is just the icing on top. In fact, you could spend the entire day on the patio. Cant wait to go back, but next time I'm taking my family. --

Hi R. Williams,

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your stay at Sunshine Reef! We are very happy to hear that you all enjoyed the location and the outdoor area. We're glad to hear you were able to make use of the bar area while lounging around the pool and enjoying the outdoors. We would be more than happy to help you plan your next stay on Anna Maria Island with your family!

Anna Maria in style

By: Peter Qualey Trip Date: 2017-11-13

Sunshine Reef exceeded every expectation. The "en-suite" bedrooms were spacious, beds comfortable, linens crisp and fresh. In-door common area was tastefully decorated with a great kitchen and all necessary "home" amenities. However, what really set Sunshine Reef apart from other rentals we've used in the past was the backyard pool and covered, lanai-style deck area. The heated pool was at perfect temperature and the Lanai area tastefully décored with comfortable furniture and cooling ceiling fans. The Lanai also smartly outfitted with a bar, TV, a great sound system for music, and a large "game" table for cards or a board game, all adding perfectly to the entertainment factor of the pool. Truly couldn't have been more relaxing and fun hanging out under the Lanai with the pool steps away. The lush mature plants / trees bordering the backyard provided the privacy and tropical ambiance to complete the "vacation" experience. So well done. As for location, very easy walks to restaurants, ice cream, and beach. Rod and Real Pier Restaurant overlooking the Bay, and the Sandbar Restaurant looking out onto the adjoining beach and Gulf, were our favorite dining experiences. The nearby Donut Experiment was great fun and delicious for all. Sunshine Reef provided the home base for a great vacation experience. There is no doubt this house rental will be tops on our list when we next return to Anna Maria for vacation fun! --

Hi Peter,

Thank you for telling us about your stay - we're so happy you enjoyed Sunshine Reef! We're glad the bedrooms were to your liking and that the beds were comfortable. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the backyard area and the pool! Sounds like everyone enjoyed themselves on the lanai between lounging at the bar and playing card games. We're happy you all were able to take advantage of the location and walk around to local shops and restaurants. We hope to hear back from you soon for your next stay on Anna Maria Island!

Not your typical Rental

By: Neal Oberg Trip Date: 2017-11-06

Absolutely loved the place! I don't know the value of the home, but I feel like someone let me stay in their $2 million dollar house for a week!!! The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach, restaurants and bars... But, really there is no reason to leave. The pool area and gathering area with bar, is totally private and very comfortable. Not your typical rental with cheap stuff... this place is loaded with expensive furniture inside/outside and there is ample space for everyone. In addition, I really liked that everything is on one level... no stairs to carry the luggage up and down!!! Would I stay at this place again? Absolutely... 5 stars clean - 5 stars location - 6 stars quality --

Hi Neal,

Thank you so much for the amazing review, we greatly appreciate it! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Sunshine Reef, as well as the location. We are so happy you enjoyed the pool area and outdoor area by the bar! We are glad it was suited to your liking and truly appreciate the kind words. We hope to hear from you soon to book again for your next stay on Anna Maria Island!

Sunshine Reef provides relaxation in style

By: Bob T Trip Date: 2017-07-15

This beautiful vacation house provided time for our family to relax and enjoy with each other midst comfortable surroundings. The grandchildren loved the gorgeous pool set in a very private and tropical setting. Our large group of 6 adults and 7 children had plenty of space in the outdoor lanai to eat, play, and splash in the pool. The comfortable beds in the four bedrooms provided a relaxed and contented night's sleep. The entire house is tastefully furnished with a well stocked kitchen. It was an easy walk to the white sanded beach with restaurants and shops close by. We look forward to a return visit to a terrific house in a lovely setting. --

Hi Bob,

Thank you for telling us about your stay at Sunshine Reef, we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed it! We're happy you all were able to relax and enjoy the lanai and pool area and that the beds were comfortable and provided a good night sleep! We appreciate the kind words and we are glad you were able to take advantage of the location and walk around to explore the local restaurants and shops. We look forward to having you back for your next stay on Anna Maria Island!

Great Time on Anna Maria!

By: Craig L. Trip Date: 2016-12-28

Our family travels frequently, and I must say that this home is one of the nicest we've ever rented. We look forward to returning again on another vacation!!! The house is clean, well appointed, and tastefully decorated. It has a nice layout where each bedroom area is suite-like with its own bathroom; and the beds are really comfortable. We enjoyed a great experience relaxing by the pool in the spacious lanai area. This was our "home base" to escape the sun during the day or play cards and watch TV in the warm Florida nights. There were many thoughtful extras like bikes, pool toys, a wii console, and a nice patio heater for late nights! This home is nicely located to experience the best of Anna Maria. Other than a trip to the grocery store, we didn't need to use our car at all. The beautiful beach, shopping and great food were within walking distance including: custom donuts at the Donut Experiment, and Poppo's Taqueria, Waterfront, and Rod & Reel Pier. -

Hello Craig,

Thank you for taking your time to let us know about your stay at Sunshine Reef. We are thrilled that the home was everything you expected from a vacation home and that the additional amenities provided added to your experience.
