About this property

Resort-Style Ground Floor 3BR Manatee Suite, Heated Pool / Spa, Lakefront

Welcome to the Manatee Suite at AMI Beach Lagoon Resort, your lakefront luxury retreat on Anna Maria Island.

Located at 604 North Shore Drive in the highly desirable north end of Anna Maria near Bean Point, this 12,500 sq ft property uniquely combines Gulf beach access with private lakefront living on Vista Lake. The Gulf beach is just a short walk across North Shore Drive.

The resort consists of three separate ground-level suites that may be rented together or individually:

- The Turtle Suite – 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom (Sleeps 2)

- The Manatee Suite – 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (Sleeps 6)

- The Pelican Suite – 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (Sleeps 6)

The Turtle Suite (front house facing North Shore Drive) offers one bedroom, while the Manatee and Pelican Suites (rear house facing Vista Lake) each offer three bedrooms. Each suite has its own private entrance, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor seating area, and grill. When multiple suites are rented separately, the pool deck and certain outdoor amenities are shared.

At the heart of the property is the large, Mickey Mouse-shaped heated saltwater pool with attached spa, creating a true resort-style atmosphere. Pool and spa operate on a shared heating system. Heating performance is weather dependent and subject to environmental and technical limitations. Pool and spa cannot be heated simultaneously. The pool and spa are provided as amenities for guest enjoyment and do not constitute grounds for refund or compensation in the event of limited operation or downtime. Due to local noise ordinances, pool and spa equipment must shut off overnight.

The private dock on Vista Lake invites guests to fish, observe manatees, or explore the water using the provided kayaks. Additional outdoor amenities include a putting green, giant life-size chess board, multiple covered seating areas, grills, beach carts, and beach chairs.

All suites are ground-level with wide doors and low-threshold showers, providing comfortable accessibility for guests of all ages. Each unit includes high-speed WiFi, dishwasher, and full-sized washer and dryer.

Florida’s climate can bring high temperatures and humidity, especially during summer months. The air conditioning systems are professionally maintained and operate within regulated performance ranges to ensure reliable and consistent indoor comfort throughout your stay.

You are vacationing in a residential neighborhood. Please be a good neighbor by keeping noise at a respectful level, particularly around the pool and outdoor areas. Excessive or unreasonable noise is prohibited by local ordinances.

Due to documented health considerations within the Owner’s family, pets — including service or emotional support animals — are not permitted on this private property under any circumstances. This includes visitors of Guests. Any animal found on the premises will result in expedited eviction, forfeiture of payments, and liability for specialized cleaning and any resulting damages.

Exterior video surveillance with motion-activated recording is installed in the driveway, pool equipment zones, pool deck, kayak rack and lakefront areas. No cameras are installed inside any building.

The property was completely renovated in 2021. Environmentally friendly solar roofs were added in 2022. Following the 2024 storm season, exterior landscaping and select technical components were renewed and upgraded. Due to extensive preventive measures installed in advance, no interior water intrusion occurred.

We encourage guests to consider purchasing travel insurance to protect their stay against unforeseen circumstances.

This property was exactly what we expected, great location, plenty of room for all 6 of us. Fantastic outdoor spaces between the pool, lagoon, deck, patio and beach within walking distance. The only negative was we couldn't check in until exactly 4pm and we arrived at 3pm. Would defintely recommend and stay here again.

Perfect Location

We had an amazing staying in the Manatee suite. It was located at the end of the property and had the best view of the lagoon. Unit was spacious with a large indoor and outdoor table for guests to hang out. The best part was all the amenities…kayaks, mini golf, life size chess board and pool with shallow area great for kids. Walking distance to all the restaurants and beach!! Will definitely be back.

wonderful stay at this vacation home

We had a wonderful stay at this vacation home in a fantastic location! It’s just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect.The only small issue was the low water pressure in the bathroom sinks – but the showers worked just fine. Nothing worth complaining about, just a note to check it.Overall, a great place to stay. We’d definitely come back!

Manatee Lagoon

We enjoyed our stay at the manatee lagoon three bedroom. My husband and our friend enjoyed fishing off of the dock . The beach is a short walk away probably one block . Was very happy to see there were fishing poles there and some tackle to use as well. Having the beach wagon and umbrella was nice to have available to us as well as some beach chairs. The only downfall was the bedroom with the double beds did not stay cool enough at night and the grill outside had a couple burners that needed replaced. These miner things were not a dealbreaker and informed the owners that these two things should be addressed for future guest. CS

Happy with our stay

I stayed here with my husband, 2 kids (1 & 7), my parents and nephew (14). The outdoor space was everything and more, plus the beach was about 2 blocks away. The only complaint would be the size of the rooms. It was really hard to get a pack in play or crib to fit - half of it was in a closet.

We had an amazing weekend in Anna Maria Island and loved our stay at the Manatee Suite. The property is beautiful, well-maintained, and so charming. Our suite was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for our girl's trip. The host had everything we needed and more. A wagon for the beach, beach chairs, floats, towels etc... Everything was exceptional. We highly recommend this rental and plan on returning next year.

Perfect Fall Break

This property was perfect for our fall vacation to AMI! The location has access to the section of beach that is quiet. All the amenities were exactly as described and perfect for our kids (14 & 7). We took the kayaks out on the canal and the property had beach items that came in handy! Would recommend this property to anyone looking to vacation in AMI. We are already planning a repeat vacation for next fall!

Great location, beautiful property, excellent amenities

We stayed in the Manatee. I have nothing to complain about. The location is perfect. A couple minute walk to the beach, and in the area where you end up having a lot better beach to beachgoer ratio. The property was beautiful, very well-maintained, and the responsiveness of the property manager was Great. We had an excellent time there, enjoying the many amenities that the property has to offer. We went kayaking in the lagoon, played chess on the giant chessboard outside, used the pool every day, enjoyed a little putt putt, and relaxed in the many outdoor seating areas. Parking is assigned, and therefore plentiful. Lots of great restaurants just steps away from the property. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful. A block from the beautiful beach, plus a canal in your backyard with kayaks! Best of both worlds. Inside, modern and updated, brand new, nice "cottage style" but modern. My wife and 2 teenage kids stayed for 2 nights. Will definitely return. Also, a pool (if you need it). lol Bedding was neat and clean, and bathroom/showers great. And a nice spot, walking down the street, North Shore Diner/Coffee - Great!

Cute and convenient!

This was our second time staying at this property. The accommodations are well-appointed. We especially like the kayaks, hot tub and convenient beach access. We were late getting in due to flight delays and our access code didn’t work. The property manager was super responsive, even at such a late hour. Already booking a return visit!
