Welcome to Mintfish, your calm, canal front oasis. This getaway home marries natural elements with luxury to create the perfect vacation spot for you, your friends, and your family (even the furry members!). The ground-level, single-floor home makes relaxation accessible for anyone and everyone. Recent remodels have brought the 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms into pristine condition… The only thing missing is you.
Nestled in the north end of Anna Maria Island, Mintfish provides close proximity to Gulf beaches, beautiful sights, and perfect weather. However, most of its magic lies on its own property. You can take in the views of the island from the comfort of your own private, heated pool. When you’re done with the pool, you can take a stroll down the dock to take in the sunrise or sunset. When mealtime rolls around, the chef of the group can fire up the outdoor gas grill for a glorious outdoor dinner. Or, the group can jump into a rented golf cart and head to Anna Maria City Pier or Pine Avenue, where you’ll find award-winning restaurants and bars.
If you’d like to take an active turn on your vacation, you can explore the island and the surrounding water via kayak or paddle board. Take a dive into the water and you just might be lucky enough to catch sight of a manatee or a dolphin enjoying the sea. After a day full of activity, you can unwind and relax your muscles in the hot tub on the property. However you choose to spend your vacation, the Mintfish is sure to provide everything you need for a serene oasis in the heart of charming Anna Maria Island.

“Like a movie set” - the only way to describe this property and its location. We stayed here for our honeymoon, we intended on exploring the island. However the property was that spectacular, we spent the majority of our time there instead.If you haven’t stayed here before, you’re missing out. We’re a bit sad that only two of us visited, as it’s a very social house layout and would suit a family / friends group perfectly. From the quality of the pan sets, through to seeing dolphins in the bay from our back garden, there really is too much to boast about. It really is in a different league!The team who run this properly are superhero. They constantly keep you updated about local amenities and anything else you could possibly need.

Beautiful home on the water. Very clean space with all you need to enjoy a trip. The views were our favorite and even with some cloudy days, the hot tub was an amazing way to relax. We loved our stay and would stay in this private beautiful home again.

We rented Mint Fish for two weeks and enjoyed every moment. The house was spotless, and everything was new and top of the line. The few little issues we had were handled quickly and efficiently. Rick and his team were the best! The amenities were numerous and the location peaceful. we would, without hesitation, recommend renting this home! Thank you for hosting us!!!

Fue una gran experiencia alojarnos en Serendipity! La casa estuvo fabulosa, nos ayudó a instalarnos Rick y fue muy amable con ello. Sin dudas lo recomendaría porque vale la pena, la casa, el ambiente, la zona, todo! Siempre estuvieron en contacto antes de nuestra llegada y eso nos ayudó mucho también. Muchas gracias por todo!

Pictures didn’t even do this home justice! Our bachelorette weekend was nothing but perfect thanks to this stay. House was so clean and had everything we could need. All the amenities were so much fun to enjoy. We will be back!

Our stay was nothing short of amazing! We had a great time. The house is absolutely beautiful + in a great location, with shops & cute restaurants nearby. The golf cart was a great addition - we used it quite often for grocery/food runs, a trip to the beach, and to explore the island. Highly recommend ordering your groceries ahead of time, so you can soak up every minute here! We opted to stay at the house for most of our trip, as the pool was fantastic and all the activities they provide make the home complete. We saw manatee's when we took the kayaks on the water, and we caught some fish from the dock. We are a family of 8, and fit comfortably in the home. My sisters and I shared the bunkbed room (they are full beds!!), while my brothers and parents split up between the other 3 rooms. The beds and the couch are so comfortable it's dangerous! There are so many good things to say about this place, we have already recommended it to friends. My only recommendation is to add a fire pit!

Beautiful house in a great location. The cleanliness and attention to detail was outstanding. Daisy from Serendipity was extremely helpful and available at all times. Highly recommend this vacation house. We had an amazing time.

Absolutely incredible stay at Mintfish! This stunning waterfront home on Anna Maria Island exceeded all our expectations. The seclusion offered the perfect escape, yet it was still walkable to the best restaurants on the north end of the island. The house itself was spotless, offering a perfect blend of homely comfort and luxurious indulgence. The pool area was a highlight, providing a serene spot to relax and soak up the sun. Every detail of Mintfish has been thoughtfully curated, making our stay nothing short of spectacular. We can’t wait to return!

We had a fantastic time at this property! When we arrived, Daisy met us there to make sure that we got into the house okay, and that it met our expectations. She assured us that if we needed anything, she would be available to assist us. The house was spacious and clean, and everything we expected and more! The view was beautiful off the pool and backyard. The boat dock was nice, and we were able to use it easily to dock our boat and take it out whenever we wanted. The golf cart provided was great for our family. We had so much fun here, and we have already started checking the calendar for when we can return! Thank you!

We had the most wonderful week at Mintfish! The place was impeccably clean, fully stocked with all the essentials and so beautifully decorated. The view is second to none and we spent countless hours kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing off the dock and enjoying the pool. The use of the golf cart and bikes made getting around the island such a breeze. For us, this is the best side of the island. Close to everything, but just hidden enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. The hosts were so responsive and helpful with all our needs. Needless to say, it was extremely hard for us to leave. We’re already checking our calendars to book it again. Thank you for a week full of priceless memories!! We’ll be back!

We loved our stay at Mint Fish!! We had 8 girls for a bachelorette party. Every bed was comfortable. The house was spotless. The golfcart was so helpful getting to nearby restaurants and shops. The weather was chilly so we didn't use the kayaks or paddleboards, but they looked awesome. Loved the little put-put on the side of the house too. The host was very responsive when I called with questions at checkin. They even came to the house to help us turn on the hot tub. The hot tub does turn off every 2-3 hours so if you aren't home all day, that is a downside, but it gets very hot and the view is beautiful! We saw dolphins from the dock. There are alarms you cannot turn off (for safety) on every door to the porch. That is a little hard to handle with going in and out often, but it's a law so you just have to turn it off by a button on the top of the slider each time you open it. I will definitely be back with my own family and kids. This house helped make our whole weekend wonderful!

Everything and more we were hoping for! Beautiful in every aspect, from the decor and furnishings to the pool and outdoor area! The view is breathtaking and is so private and relaxing! Awesome set up and very convenient to everything. Will definitely stay here again

Really enjoyed our stay. House is beautiful and immaculate, spacious, view is amazing. Back yard is an oasis. So relaxing and quiet which is exactly what we wanted. Wendy was great to communicate with. House included a 6 passenger golf cart which was so nice! Had everything you need and more! Only recommendation would be to add a full length mirror in the closets.

We had an amazing time and can’t wait to rent this house again. Everything was clean and the house included everything we needed. The location was perfect and being on the water made for a memorable experience. We rented fishing poles and our boys enjoyed their time fishing out on the kayak and paddle boards. This location and house was our favorite so far and we will be back!

I’ve got nothing to say but amazing things about our stay here. The house was absolutely stunning, the location was perfect, and the communication smooth from the moment we got there. We even got the hang with manatees in the canal behind the house on the canoe and paddle boards. Will definitely be back in the future. Thanks for the wonderful weekend.

I booked this property as a birthday weekend getaway for myself and my family (6 adults). The photos are great but do not do this place justice, it must be experienced in-person to be fully appreciated. We spent most of our time during the day in the pool and found ourselves being drawn back outside in the evening to enjoy the peacefulness of the water and the stars. The property is located in a great spot, close to shops and restaurants or a quick ride away from the beach. An added perk of booking here is that the property comes with a golf cart, kayak, SUP boards, bikes, and a boat lift. The hosts were very responsive and helpful, answering the many questions I had leading up to my stay. My family and I had an amazing time, and we'll be booking again, hopefully in the near future! This is a 10/10 recommendation.

This rental is a dream - the view is absolutely breathtaking, the host extremely responsive and accommodating, and the home exquisitely decorated. Our family has vacationed in several AMI rentals, and this property by far stood out. We hope to return again soon!

We have stayed in multiple places on Anna Maria and MintFish was by far everyone’s favorite spot. Gorgeous views, tons of amenities and Serendipity was fantastic as hosts. Super responsive, and they have thought of everything and included it with their rentals. Fabulous spot - highly recommend. Looking at our weeks for next year already.
