One Particular Harbour 387-101 is a 1,500-square-foot condo two minutes from Manatee Beach on the Gulf of Mexico — inside the gated community named for the Jimmy Buffett song. Reviewers have noticed. The pace settles in quickly: afternoon pool music, Floridays fish house walkable from the unit, an island trolley stop nearby.
Anna Maria Island doesn't have a direct flight — and that's part of why it still feels the way it does. From Tampa or Sarasota it's about 45 minutes. From Orlando, roughly two hours. From Atlanta or Charlotte, a day's drive that most guests say was worth every mile. If you're somewhere in Florida or the Southeast and you haven't made it here yet, this is the trip.
The unit faces the interior courtyard, not the road. That's not a compromise — it's the reason the screened lanai works the way it does. Morning coffee without traffic noise. Shade where you need it. Guests who've come back more than once tend to say the lanai was where they spent most of their time.
The condo sleeps five. The primary suite has a king bed and its own bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen and a private bath. The living room sleeper sofa handles the fifth guest. Both bathrooms are full. The open layout runs kitchen to dining to living room with enough storage to actually unpack for the week.
The kitchen is set up for real cooking: stainless appliances, refrigerator with ice and water dispenser, dishwasher, microwave, oven, full cookware, and everything to prep a proper meal. In-unit washer and dryer. High-speed WiFi throughout. Cable TV in multiple rooms.
Community amenities across One Particular Harbour: heated pool and cabana, children's splash zone and tot lot, BBQ grilling stations, and the deep-water marina — a good walk for evenings. Floridays, the on-site Florida fish house with covered outdoor seating, is steps from the unit. The grouper comes up in nearly every review.
Manatee Beach on Anna Maria Island is a two-minute drive west over the bridge — wide Gulf sand, calm water, and easy on the feet. Beach chairs, a cooler, and a wheeled wagon are stocked at the unit for the trip. The free island trolley stops nearby and runs the length of Anna Maria Island, connecting Manatee Public Beach, Holmes Beach, Coquina Beach, and Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach.
Traveling as a group? Island Vacation Properties manages several units at One Particular Harbour. The community is built for it — shared pool, shared courtyard, Floridays on-site — so the group has a natural gathering place during the day. Each unit gives everyone their own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and lanai at night. Better than a single large house where nobody's relaxed by the end of the week, and something you can only put together by booking direct. Call us atand we'll sort out the right combination for your group.
For stays of 30 nights or longer: guests unlock full Harbour Isle amenities — the waterfront Beach Club, a private pool, fitness center, rooftop sky bar, yoga lawn, and kayak launch on the sound. If you're planning an extended winter stay, this is worth asking about when you book.
Gated entry. Covered parking included. Elevator access. No pets. No smoking. One-week minimum stay.
Final payment due 60 days prior to arrival. Personal check or eCheck accepted ($1.00 fee). Credit cards accepted at 3%.
