House Eye Candy, Florida-Style

Category: Daily Diary

Here are some of the bungalows, cottages and little Mediterranean hideaways from Anna Maria...

This cute little bungalow is for rent...unfortunately, it's too steep for my pocket book. But look at those lovely shingles! Those cunning braces! Sigh.

Many of the older houses here proudly display the date that they were built. Are you digging the view that they have? You can see it in the reflection of the windows.

A little imagination, some creative painting and a pirate chest makes this older cinder block ranch very "beachy". You go, pirate people!

This cute little villa! Reminded me of the gals at HouseMade...

A lovely bungalow garden. Sweet and tropical.

I liked the rocking chairs.

This little house is probably not going to make it. They are selling the property and I wanted to adopt it and fix it up and make it nice again...

If you want to peek inside of the bungalows of Anna Maria, you can get nosy with the rental listings like I do :)

Ben's Bungalow

1925 Vintage Beach House

DaisyFern Cottages

Ultra-Modern Getaway

Canario Cottage

Too many guests for a cottage? There is always this enormous beach house:

Coconut Cay

But I'm partial to tiny and cozy myself. More house-y goodness tomorrow...

Do you want to go back there with me yet?

Comments

Are these on Anna Maria Island in Florida? We live very near there, like no more than ten miles away near the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport. I will say that the prevailing local opinion about Anna Maria wavers between "Gee, wouldn't it be nice to live out there." and "If a hurricane comes through, everything will get leveled." Besides that, housing on the island is 1-1/2 to 2 times more expensive and homeowner's insurance right up there with it. It helps mitigate some of the house lust.
