Gulf-side 1BR--75 Steps to Sand, Private Patio, Family-Owned Since 1971

Step into Old Florida charm with modern comfort at Bamboo Apartments #3, just 75 steps to the sand, with no streets to cross.

From your bedroom window, enjoy a peek at the Gulf while the patio outside invites you to grill, lounge, and soak in breezy sunsets. Featured in Southern Living, our family-owned retreat has welcomed guests since 1971. No hidden fees, ever. Walk to Skinny's for a burger, Two Scoops for ice cream, or relax on our patios after a beach day. Clean, quiet, and always ready for our guests--beach towels, chairs, umbrella and cooler provided--just bring your flip-flops and bathing suit!

Nestled on nearly an acre of pristine beachfront, our property offers 150 feet of private sugar sand beach front with five expansive, uncrowded patios nestled in a wildflower meadow—no busy streets to cross, no stairs to climb, and no crowded hallways-- a rare one of a kind property on Anna Maria Island.
