Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to the “Blue Pearl” – a stunning Anna Maria Island beach house just steps from the Gulf! Originally designed by acclaimed island architect Emily Anne Smith, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is a high-performing vacation rental perfectly situated within walking distance to the beach on Anna Maria Island. Inside, enjoy vaulted ceilings, skylights, and an updated kitchen featuring quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. The main floor includes three bedrooms and one full bath, while the private master suite is located upstairs. Outside, relax in your heated pool and spa, refresh in the outdoor shower, fire up the BBQ grill, and take advantage of shortcut alley access to the pristine sand beaches of AMI. Built smartly with cement board drywall, a foam-insulated metal roof, pervious paver parking, and recent mechanical upgrades, this home combines durability with island charm. And thanks to brilliantly installed solar panels, there’s no need to worry about electricity bills for heating, cooling, or pool use—a major bonus for both eco-conscious living and reducing ongoing expenses. With an accepted offer, the seller will share their $70K flood-proofing plan to further enhance this resilient retreat. Located in Bradenton Beach, which allows flexible short-term rentals, this property is perfect as a personal getaway or an income-producing investment. Just a short walk to dining, shops, and the free trolley — Blue Pearl is your turnkey slice of paradise!
