About this home

Rising gracefully on the sugar-white sands of Bean Point, The Golden Dolphin is a timeless Gulf-front residence that blends enduring craftsmanship with inspired artistry. The main living level unfolds into a grand living and dining area, where a full wall of sliders frame endless Gulf views and spectacular sunsets. The expansive balcony is an entertainer’s dream, featuring a fully equipped Lynx outdoor kitchen and a beautifully carved fireplace—an inviting setting for al fresco dining or evenings by the fire. Inside, the chef’s kitchen is outfitted with Sub-Zero, Viking, and Miele appliances, seamlessly combining performance and elegance. A refined library retreat, complete with a fireplace and exquisitely carved bookcases, offers a quiet haven for reading or reflection.
The third floor is devoted to luxurious private living. The palatial primary ensuite is a serene sanctuary with spa-like amenities and opens to its own Gulf-facing balcony. Here, a soaking tub, rain shower, and an additional fireplace create an indulgent, resort-style experience. Also on this level are a gracious guest suite, a whimsical children’s ensuite bedroom, and a conveniently located laundry room.
The first floor welcomes you with a dramatic foyer featuring soaring ceilings and an elevator. Just beyond lies the imaginative Captain’s Quarters, a fantastical space designed to replicate the galley of a pirate’s lair—both playful and unforgettable. An expansive office follows, showcasing granite countertops and intricately carved walls with integrated drawers and shelving, offering both beauty and function.
Outdoors, the home transforms into a private oasis. The grotto-style pool provides shaded comfort and is adorned with multiple water features, while a surrounding fireplace and dining area create an intimate setting for gathering. Beyond the pool, a sun-drenched private patio invites leisurely afternoons of relaxation and sunbathing.
Built to stand the test of time, The Golden Dolphin is constructed with concrete and rebar throughout and engineered with advanced drainage systems designed to reroute floodwaters. This exceptional residence has sustained no damage from past hurricanes, offering peace of mind alongside its unparalleled beauty.
A rare offering on Anna Maria Island, The Golden Dolphin is a masterful expression of luxury, resilience, and coastal elegance—where art, architecture, and the Gulf converge in perfect harmony.
