At 207 square feet, Bungalow #3 is the smallest unit in the Anna Cabana complex — and the most honest about what it is. You're not paying for space you won't use. You're 100 yards from the Gulf, steps from a heated pool, and within a five-minute walk of more good restaurants than most guests can get to in a week.
The studio was completely renovated in 2025. Built in 1950 as part of the original Old Florida beach resort, the bones are authentic and the updates are current. The bedroom area is generously sized for a studio. The bathroom is notably spacious — larger than Bungalow #1 — with a walk-in shower and generous closet storage. High ceilings and smart design make the space feel larger than the square footage suggests.
Bungalow #3 has a mini-kitchen — mini refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker — not a full kitchen. Worth knowing before you book. It's designed for guests who plan to spend their days at the beach and their evenings at Anna Maria Island's restaurants rather than cooking. Grab coffee at Anna Maria Beach Cafe. Breakfast at Rod and Reel Pier. Lunch at Blue Marlin.
Dinner at Bridge Street Bistro. All of them are within a five-to-ten minute walk and all of them have been recommended by previous guests who figured out the same rhythm.
Outside, a dedicated outdoor seating area with table, chairs, sun umbrella, and a wooden swing gives this unit its own outdoor space — different from the private patios of units 1, 2, and 4, but genuinely enjoyable. Weber grill access is included.
The heated pool is steps away, shared among the four Anna Cabana bungalows and consistently quiet — guests report having it entirely to themselves.
The outdoor shower handles post-beach cleanup. Beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels are all provided — grab them and cross the street.
The Gulf beach is 100 yards away. Skinny's Place is less than five minutes on foot. Manatee Public Beach and Anna Maria Beach Cafe are five minutes. Publix and Walgreens are within easy walking distance. The free island trolley stops steps away.
Guests consistently report not needing their car for the entire week — and some stay for 28 days on exactly that basis.
Anna Cabana Bungalow #3 requires a one-week minimum stay. Not pet-friendly.
