Island Retreat: Walk to Beach + Pool & Updated Kitchen

Castnetter 6 is a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit located at Gulf Drive & 41st Street, right in the heart of Anna Maria Island at the 7-acre, lifeguard-protected Manatee Public Beach. The unit was updated with new cabinets and appliances in 2026. This unit features a fully equipped kitchen and a private 10' x 30' sun deck with table, chairs, and loungers, making it perfect for relaxing or eating meals outside.

Guests can enjoy a shared pool with the adjacent unit, two washers and two dryers for convenient laundry, and beach chairs and gear are provided at no extra charge. The adjacent unit is also available for rent, making it perfect for families or friends who want to vacation together while still having their own space.

Just steps away, you’ll find the Beach Cafe for breakfast, lunch, and live entertainment, a playground for the kids, and the West Coast Surf Shop for all your beach essentials. Across the street, Skinny’s Place serves ice-cold beer and famous beach burgers, while the Island Shopping Centre around the corner offers eleven eateries, specialty shops, groceries, and other conveniences.

You can easily explore the rest of the island by hopping on the free Island Trolley located directly across the street. The trolley runs north to south along Gulf Drive and stops frequently near major attractions.

We also partner with a local company to offer discounted, beautiful beach picnics. Book a gorgeous sunset picnic with your favorite people for a truly memorable experience.

From pristine white-sand beaches and emerald waters to fishing, boating, shelling, and unforgettable sunsets, Castnetter 6 puts you in the center of everything Anna Maria Island has to offer.
