Sea La Vie

This private oasis is a fully renovated 3 bedroom and 2 bath home with a heated pool. The main floor boasts an open floor plan with sweeping views of the ocean over a large sun deck.

Picture this: you and your partner are enjoying your own private elevated circular hot tub with a waterfall edge that looks out over the water.  At night, you can see the lights on the Skyway Bridge and are close enough to the water to hear the waves splashing. This scenario can come to life by booking Cloud 9. It’s a brand new construction beachfront home with a heated pool, located on the northern end of Anna Maria Island. It is professionally decorated and finished with all king beds and en-Suite bathrooms.Cloud 9 is the perfect place to fall in love all over again.

Now that you’ve picked a place to stay, take a few minutes to make dinner reservations at one of the premier Anna Maria Island restaurants. Your significant other will appreciate how much thought and effort you put into this romantic getaway. Be sure to let the host or hostess know if you’re celebrating something special, like an anniversary or birthday.
