About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire house boat to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

“The Spot” Guaranteed Dolphin and Sea Life Sightings!

“The Spot,” is known as the best spot on the water in Sarasota Bay! Not only will you see dolphins flipping around, but the manatee always seem to show interest to the boat as well! The Spot is located approximately 80 yards from shore providing electricity for all your gadgets by the usage of solar power along with being battery operated! Who needs marina amenities? We provide a solar shower for usage, a bathroom that is squeaky clean, along with cooking essentials so you don’t have to leave the boat and you are able to enjoy a nice meal while watching the East Coasts most beautiful sunset! You can explore what Anna Maria Island offers with one of our row boats (provided) or make usage out of our kayak (provided)! We recently partnered up with a water taxi service who accompanies the guests “23 Hours a day,” for assistance to and from shore! We highly recommend booking on “The Spot!” Not only are you able to enjoy the best view of Anna Maria Island, but the shooting stars at night will make your evening turn into a life long memory for all!

The property owner was nice but everything she had listed about the property was true until arrival, and she then told us these sail boats are repurposed sailboats that sank which is a unique experience, and it was quite cozy but could have been a bit cleaner our cabin table almost fell on us while we were munching on pizza and the ac was not cold. Other wise it was an adventurous experience me and my friends will never forget as we were jumping off the side of her biggest sail boat while dolphins were around us!
