Built for the ones who bring everyone together

The Oar House sits at the center of Anna Maria Island, steps from Pine Avenue and everything that makes this island feel like home. Coffee in the morning. Oysters at sunset. Live music after dinner. All on foot.

From the street, you see a couple of houses on either side, the island neighborhood you'd expect. But the moment you step through the back of the house, everything changes. The pool, the palms, the privacy. It is an oasis in the middle of everything, completely surrounded by tropical landscaping. No neighbors have line of sight into the pool. No street noise reaches the back. It is surprisingly, almost impossibly quiet.

Inside, soaring lofted ceilings and an open floor plan give your whole group room to breathe. The kitchen was designed to cook in, not just look at. Six bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, so everyone gets their own retreat.

Rooftop deck

The Rooftop

Gulf on one side, bay on the other, and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge changing colors in the distance. Adirondack chairs, a drink rail, and the best sunset seat on Pine Avenue. This is the photo everyone posts. This is the moment where the trip becomes something people talk about for years.
