417 POINSETTIA RD

Some homes are simply felt before they are fully understood. The moment you arrive at 417 Poinsettia Road, something shifts -- the salt air, the sound of water moving gently at the canal's edge, the way the light falls across the pool in the late afternoon. This home is designed for the honest and unhurried experience of Anna Maria Island that we call "Island Time". Tucked on the north end of the island on an oversized lot with canal frontage and a brand-new dock, this two-bedroom, two-bath coastal retreat offers what so many search a lifetime to find: a direct, effortless connection to the water and the world-renowned shores of Anna Maria just steps from your door. Walk to Bean Point, to the Bay beaches, to the City Pier, to the beloved shops and restaurants along Pine Street. The island's azure waters and sugar sand beaches aren't just a destination from here -- they are your neighborhood. Inside, the sunroom stretches along the back of the home, framing the pool and canal like a living painting. The pool -- recently replastered and retiled in 2022 with a newly rescreened cage in 2025 -- is ready to be heated on cooler evenings when the days at the beach run long. The kitchen is complete and thoughtfully equipped, and a park-style charcoal grill awaits for alfresco evenings under the palms. The home has been carefully maintained and meaningfully updated: a metal roof installed in 2020, impact windows, impact doors, and impact garage doors were all replaced in 2025, and a termite treatment was completed this year for absolute peace of mind. The new dock, also completed in 2025, invites early morning launches and golden hour returns -- with easy canal access that flows directly to the gulf. Whether you are searching for a private island sanctuary, a legacy property to gather your family & friends, or an island address with short-term rental zoning already in place, 417 Poinsettia offers something rare: the full Anna Maria experience, leaving nothing to want.
