Tropical Beachside Apartment - Sunny Patio - 75 Steps to Beach - Bamboo Apts. #3

Welcome to Bamboo Apartments, Apartment #3, part of our family-owned five-unit beachfront retreat featured in Southern Living Magazine (Jan/Feb 2020). If you're looking for a meticulously maintained, super clean, peaceful, Old Florida-style getaway with unbeatable beach access, you've found it.

Nestled on nearly an acre of pristine beachfront, our property offers 150 feet of private sugar sand beach front with six expansive, uncrowded patios—no busy streets to cross, no stairs to climb, and no crowded hallways. And, if you’ve forgotten something, it’s a quick hop back to your apartment to retrieve it. Perfect when traveling with “littles.”

Wake up to garden and beach views in this newly renovated, ground-level one-bedroom, one-bath apartment with full kitchen. A short stroll through the wildflower meadow leads you straight to the beach, where gentle Gulf breezes and breathtaking sunsets await.

Step inside and relax:
• Coastal-inspired décor with custom rattan furnishings, vintage touches, and hand-picked historic photos from the 1930s & 40s (taken right on the property!).
• Spacious, light-filled living area with a queen-size sleeper sofa, a dining table for four, and sliding glass doors that open to the tropical landscape and Gulf views. Open up the sliders and listen to the waves and smell the salty breeze.
• Private patio just outside your door, complete with a dining table, chairs, umbrella, and charcoal grill—perfect for morning coffee, alfresco meals, or late-night stargazing.
• King-size bed in the large bedroom, featuring a custom latex mattress for ultimate comfort and a walk-in closet to keep your space organized.
• Fully equipped kitchen with full-size appliances and all the essentials for easy, casual meals. But, you may want to try an island restaurant for some delicious suppers.
• Newly renovated, including kitchen and bath.

Outdoor Paradise & Unforgettable Sunsets
• Six breezy Gulf-front patios to unwind and soak up the island vibe. Grab a book from the laundry shed library and stretch out on a lounger in the shade of the towering Australian pines.
• Charcoal grills for the ultimate beachside cookout.
• Beach essentials provided: chairs, umbrellas, a mini cooler, and towels—just bring your swimsuit, flip-flops, and sunscreen!
• Outdoor shower & old-fashioned clothesline to rinse off and dry your beachwear after a fun day in the sun.
• On-site coin laundry located in the old cistern house.

Walk to Everything!
• Café on the Beach – Enjoy all-you-can-eat pancakes and a beachfront playground for the little ones!
• Skinny’s for hamburgers, fries and everything you are not supposed to eat. Try the onion rings.
• Restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping – just 3 blocks away.
• Free island trolley stop – Explore Anna Maria Island with ease!

The perfect Old Florida apartment just steps from the beach!

My 12 year old daughter and I had a wonderful experience staying with Alice. The apartment was sparkling clean and had everything we needed for a visit to the beach. The history of this place and a love for beach life can be felt! The owner goes above and beyond for her guests. The rooms were so comfortable, and nostalgic, We felt right at home and plan to be back!

5 stars isn't enough!

I wish there was a way to rate Bamboo apts higher than 5 stars. Everything about our stay was perfect. Alice and her team do an incredible job with communication and maintaining the property. The location is just great. We were so comfortable there, we didn't want to leave. You will not be disappointed with staying at Bamboo!

Amazing location!

The Bamboo Apartments are a five star location for a small family. We loved that the apartment was just steps from the beach and that Alice had a cooler, chairs, umbrellas for our use. This beach is pristine and just next door to Manatee Public Beach- so all the benefits of a snack shack, shuttle stop, lifeguard stand- but just far enough away for privacy. Apartment was clean and cool- the most important things for a Florida summer trip. Alice made sure that our family had everything we needed- personal service and help for our road weary group. I only hope to return soon!

Holmes Beach apartment

This property was absolutely perfect for us. Loved the beach being a few steps away and all the patio furniture in front and behind the building. It was peaceful and quiet. We were able to check in a little early. Owner had a sweet welcome sign to us on the door and a Welcome basket of goodies waiting on the table. Great little Tiki bar and restaraunt right next door with live music every night. I would definately come back and stay much longer next time. Anna Maria Island is the best. We also loved having a shuttle that was free running all day and into the evening. Thank you to the owners for their hospitality.

Hidden treasure!

We were pleasantly surprised on our first trip to Anna Maria Island to have chosen the perfect place to call home for a week. Our cottage had everything necessary, was very clean and comfortable, with beautiful outside gardens. The fact that we were on the most beautiful private beach within 75 steps through the backyard was amazing....the sunsets even better. Alice is a wonderful person and host, and extremely accommodating. We plan to return to the Bamboo Apartments again, but next time for a longer stay!!

Tropical Time Capsule

Bamboo Apartments is a quaint semi secluded tropical getaway that makes you feel you opened a time capsule of the past. I felt the world around slip away as I relaxed amongst the tropical landscaping and enjoyed the cool ocean sounds and breeze. I just wish I could have stayed longer. Alice is very accommodating and helpful. The unit was exceptional clean and we had everything we needed.

What a spectacular place to stay. Steps to the beach, steps to wonderful food and drink. Very old school Florida and wonderfully kept up. We met the owner and got some history of the Bamboo Apartments which made the stay even better. It was more than advertised. We'll definitely be back. Thanks Alice for such a wonderful place!!

Quiet/ Relaxing Stay

Everything was as described and was a very quiet, relaxing place. We had everything we needed plus some and the bonus of the Beach was steps away. Looking for place to really relax, this is it! Definitely recommend and will be returning. Thank you, Lisa
