Gulf Bay View benefits from a spacious open-plan living area, comfortable sofas and chairs and a massive flat-screen TV for those times when you just have to watch the outside world.

A dining area with seating for eight round a large wooden table offers plenty of room for family meals to plan the day ahead, discuss what you have spent the day doing, or planning your next 24 hours in paradise.

Double doors lead out on to a large balcony, with views over the tropical gardens and pool below.

Leading off of the living area is the luxury kitchen, with double fridge-freezer and ice maker, double sink area, dishwasher, oven, over-hob microwave and toaster.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare your meals, including cutlery, crockery, pots, pans and utensils. There's no excuse not to cook up a storm.

The six bedrooms in Guy Bay View offer you space to spread out, but also plenty of options for flexible accommodation. The two master en-suites feature king-sized beds and ensure every level of comfort, with bespoke bedroom furniture, flat-screen TVs, walk-in wardrobes and luxury linens.

There are two additional queen rooms, two more twin rooms with twins. The Games room and office each contain a sleeper sofa. Each bedroom is equipped with ample storage space, with walk-in closets and modern furniture, as well as flat-screen TVs and tasteful decoration.

Gulf Bay View has five bathrooms and a small WC on the ground floor. With Two master en-suites, a separate bathroom on the first floor, and two on the top floor should be no reason for any queuing in the morning.

Each bathroom in the property is tastefully finished, with tiled floors and walls in the showers and around the tubs, marble floors and surface tops, bespoke fittings and large vanity mirrors to keep you looking your best.

You can often feel like the only inhabitants on the island as you relax poolside behind the swaying palms and tropical plants around the landscaped gardens. This quiet residential area of Anna Maria remains largely undeveloped and you will rarely hear your fellow residents - they are enjoying the silence as well.

The pool and undercover barbecue area is a great place to spend time during the day, dipping in and out of the heated pool and hot tub and playing under the gently cascading waterfall. Inside a spacious pool room with simple furniture offers respite from the sun. There is also a WC and access to the garage from here, as well as stairs up to the first floor.

At the other extreme is the rooftop terrace which really allows you to appreciate your rarified position at the northern tip of the island. Reached via a spiral staircase from the upper balcony, the panoramic views will surely take your breath away. Enjoy a drink in the evening as you watch the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico, turn round to see the lights of the Skyway Bridge twinkle in the distance, or simply look up at the stars and try to count them all.

Below you is ample parking on the large driveway and access to the pool area through a gate, or up the steps to the front door.
