Anna Maria Island Beach Rental - The Blue Dolphin Inn in Anna Maria Island

Imagine a fabulous vacation at our secluded little hideaway!
Located at the exclusive northern point of Anna Maria Island on
Florida's Gulf Coast, the Blue Dolphin Inn is two "Old Florida"
style homes with two spacious units in each (3 bedroom and 2 bedroom
units). Nestled in the middle is our heated, tropical pool, complete with
lounge chairs, poolside table, and tiki bar. The grounds are lush
and tropical, with wandering paths and beautiful outdoor living
areas for each of the four accommodations.

It's just a short, one-block stroll (about 60 yards) down a path to
the sugar-sand beach and clear blue waters of the tranquil northern
point of the island. We often see dolphins and manatees swimming
there and the sunsets are breathtaking.

Our units are adorable, roomy, and very comfortable. They are all
beautifully decorated, fully equipped, and include wireless internet
access. Each unit has its own unique charm and
the ambiance of a private beach house.

Our 2 bedroom/ 2 bath unit, the Heron, is 1300 square feet and also
has a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room. It is very nicely
decorated and very comfortable. You will especially love its master
suite and its large outdoor patio.

You can find more information and many more pictures on our personal
website at TheBlueDolphinInn. We'll go out of our way
to make sure you have everything you need for a wonderful stay, and
you'll want to return again and again!
