About this property

Ground Floor Lakefront Resort, Private Dock, Heated Pool & Spa, Close to Beach

Welcome to 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, and dedicated outdoor seating area with grill. The Manatee and Pelican Suites each feature a covered lakeside pergola with outdoor dining space, while the Turtle Suite offers its own private terrace with grill.

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 resort dock on Vista Lake invites guests to fish, observe manatees, or explore the water using the provided kayaks. The dock and lake access are exclusive to AMI Beach Lagoon guests and may be shared among resort guests when suites are rented individually.

Additional outdoor amenities include a putting green, giant life-size chess board, multiple covered and open-air seating areas, grills, beach chairs, and beach carts.

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.

Our multi-family group loved this property - each family had private accommodations and the shared spaces were great for time together. The private dock and kayaks were a highlight. The kitchens had everything we needed for meals and the owners were great with their communications.

50th celebration weekend

We had an absolutely great time. We were a large group of 14 so we had all 3 units. It was the perfect set up for us. We honestly ran out of time to enjoy all the location had to offer - we didn't have a chance to use the kayaks or the putting green. It was the perfect beach weekend.

Has everything for a group

We picked this spot for a family vacation, 4 families flying from various places. I couldn't imagine a better place for us in that area. We used the pool a lot, rented a boat, fished and kayaked, and of course enjoyed the easy access to the beautiful beach!! We didn't feel the need to go anywhere else. Plenty of shops available in a short walk or golf cart ride. The house had enough plates and wares for entertaining. And we absolutely loved the common areas. It was a clean and comfortable stay. Memorable too, definitely recommend!

Great family retreat

We had a 75th birthday party for my mother, and brought a few families together. The space is ideal for giving different groups some autonomy, while keeping a shared overall experience. Especially great if the weather is cooperating - unfortunately rain kept us inside more than we would have liked. Great location too!

Thanksgiving week

Our family rented all 3 units for the week of Thanksgiving and it was PERFECT! It worked out great everyone having their own space but also being able to hang out in the common areas outside all together. Location could not be better with the lagoon, beach, and a block away from the shops and restaurants. We got to meet owners and they were super nice and helpful! Houses were very clean and had everything we needed. We’re already talking about coming back next year and all agreed this was our favorite place we’ve stayed at so far! 10/10!!!

Perfect Christmas week stay

We had two separate families and the accommodations worked out perfectly. Started the day with a perfectly shaded breakfast on the back porch. It was only a short walk to the beach from there. Late afternoons we would meet back around the pool and hot tub before heading out to dinner. A fun time was had by all.
