About this house rental

Family friendly with fantastic views and directly on the Gulf of Mexico sound like your idea of a perfect vacation rental? This amazing Anna Maria Island accommodation fits that description perfectly! This spectacular holiday rental is a historic Triplex built in the 1930’s and situated on the beautiful island beachfront. Beautifully restored original woodwork can be found throughout. This waterfront rental can accommodate up to 12 guests with 6 bedrooms, 4 baths, plus 2 kitchens and lots of common space. The unique ‘suite like’ arrangement of this rental is perfect for large families or even multiple families with a generous dining room and living area with a spectacular view! The family can all gather on the expansive covered patio to grill some burgers or just relax in the warm ocean breeze.

The Dodt House Units 1, 2, and 3 have everything you need to enjoy your vacation, including premium linens, free wifi, washer and dryer, well appointed kitchens, propane grill, plenty of parking and much much more!

Enjoy your morning cup of coffee on one of your balconies, or take it to-go as you stroll down the beach from your own backyard. Wake the kids up and head down the beach for some volleyball or hop on the free trolley and go for all you can eat pancakes at AMI Beach Cafe on beautiful Holmes Beach. Your options are endless but you may just end up staying on your deck, feet up, sipping a margarita and watching the sunset.

Please note: we may sometimes gladly accept non Saturday to Saturday stays from middle of August to middle of January each year excluding Christmas and New Year week. Please speak with a vacation specialist for more details.

**The only umbrella that can go in the pool (sun shelf ) is the umbrella with the white pole. It takes two people to open. There are 2 other white umbrellas on the property but those poles are dark metal and they CAN'T go in the pool or they will rust**

**Only ALL Plastic Chairs can sit in the pool on the sun shelf: 2 white lounge chairs and a few blue plastic folding seats. If the blue chairs aren't opened up all the way, they will break. If any other chairs go in the pool, they will cause rust marks**

Max Vehicles Allowed:6 Max Day Guests Allowed:2

Anna Maria Island’s noise ordinance aims to ensure citizens can enjoy a peaceful environment. The ordinance applies to all areas of the city, including public and private property, and places of business. It defines noise as any sound that annoys or disturbs a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities or causes or tends to cause an adverse physical or psychological effect on such reasonable person. The noise ordinance limits the maximum permissible noise levels to:
7 AM–10 PM: 65 decibels: (Consistently shouting in the pool exceeds 65 decibels)
10 PM–7 AM: 50 decibels: (An audible conversation from 50’ or 15 meters away exceeds 50 decibels)
The ordinance also prohibits plainly audible noise, which refers to any sound that can be clearly heard by a person using their normal hearing faculties. This means that a person can still be in violation if the noise can be easily heard by responding officers from a distance of 100 feet from the property line. Fines for excessive noise can range from $100 to $1,000.

The place was overall great. We enjoyed our time and the space. The trail to the beach needs trimmed. The pool could have been warmer.There was no lock for door 2 so we had to leave it unlocked throughout our stay. We communicated everything with the host and they responded very quickly. I think check out should be considered to 11am which is a typical check out time for hotels.

Despite having an unseasonably cold and cloudy two weeks on Ann Maria Island, the Dodt house was a good gathering spot for our family. It is definitely not fancy, and the bathrooms could be updated, but we enjoyed our time here. One note: one of our guests has difficulty with stairs and this house was not easily accessible to them. We made due, but will likely not be able to return because of the stair situation. It was clear from the description that the stairs would be external, but we felt the lighting outside especially at night was difficult and the one bedroom suite in the first floor had a bathroom shower that was not accessible. Other than thar, we LOVED the beach access and all the pool chairs. We left two beach chairs for future guests.

This is a really nice location. Enough parking off the street. The pool is great. Very clean. The property management is great. Quick to answer any questions and help with problems. The downstairs part could use some upgrades. But overall great place.
