First time on Anna Maria Island

Property was as advertised. Quiet neighborhood, but highly walkable to beaches, fishing, shopping and restaurants, plus trolley stop at the end of the block. We utilized all amenities, and had a relaxing time. Would stay here again if we return with 10 adults. Loved our time on the Island!!

Family Vacation

This is our 3rd annual family vacation in Anna Maria. We were a group of 12. The house was perfect, clean and comfortable! The host was responsive and accommodating. We enjoyed the pool and the private dock made our stay better for early morning fishing!

Great Location, short walk from the beach!

We came for a family trip and had an amazing time. This house was perfect for 8 adults and 4 children under the age of 7. The alarm system was so helpful as many of them wanted to go out by the pool and dock! Excellent proximity to the beach and a short walk to restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved the house, pool and short distance to the beach. The location was perfect for shopping, restaurants, bakeries and very important, ice cream! The weather was perfect. Our only complaint was one week was not enough!

Beautiful home in a wonderful location

We loved our stay here. Our one suggestion would be to leave more “staples” for guests. There were no spices (even salt and pepper), no storage containers (baggies or ziplock containers), no liquid hand soap, no Saran Wrap or aluminum foil etc). We’ve stayed in many VRBOs and have appreciated when these types of items spill over from guest to guest.

Great stay!

Super easy check in & quick response with questions. The Pool was warm & the House is super close to the beach. We had family staying at the house on the end of the canal that were catching fish off their dock & we saw a manatee in the canal! The House had everything we needed for cooking and had enough toiletry essentials to get started. (Hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher tabs, garbage bags.) The pool gets a good mix of sun and shade throughout the day, so there is options for both all day long. Very private backyard. Game room and screened in porch were great to have!

The home location was really great & the backyard was lush & private! Beautiful spacious pool! Another bathroom upstairs would really help out. There are too many bedrooms sharing upstairs. Even a 1/2 bath would help out.

Nice family gathering rental

Rented this house for my husbands 60th birthday.. we rent alot on VRBO( and have one ourselves) Very nicely decorated, spacious and suited our needs. A place to relax- very easy walk to a beautiful Beach( all towels, mats,chairs provided as well as wagon to pull it all in!) Home was very spacious for us all - lots of different areas to relax in. Had an issue with pool heating but believe they are getting it fixed now- the agents were easy to get in touch with when we had any questions. Lots todo in the area : beautiful Beach, loved Sandbar restaurant, and Jinny for coffee and breakfast.. wish we could stay longer but just a long weekend this time!

Castaway stay

The home was a great location with closer proximity to the beach and to shopping. We rented a golf cart and kayaks. The beds were comfortable and the house is very large. However, there was construction going on next door as a home was being built. The noise was intolerable. I called to speak to the manager and my call was never returned. Another issue is that the family room furniture has a musty unpleasant odor. The property was fine just way overpriced during a construction period and for the fact that it’s felt very tired.

Great location and great house

Family of 7 stayed here a week before the COVID pandemic. The house was clean, comfortable, and as described. We used the pool everyday without issues we’ve had at other rentals - it was cleaned and at a warm temperature — plus the hot tub worked on command. Thank you for the great stay.

Great house!

Great accomodations for large family gathering. Loved having access to beach (and ships, restaurants) close and the pool at the home was great asset. Negative - the house could have been better cleaned (some mold in showers, food on exterior cabinet fronts and walls, floors could've been mopped). This house wasn't so bad you couldn't stay but for as nice as the house is and what we are renting it for you would think they could've have cleaned it MUCH better! Overall stay was enjoyable for our large family. On a side note, there are MANY large homes going up on this island which you would assume means larger families/friends will be renting. Unfortunately, many many restaurants could NOT accommodate our group of 12!!!

We really enjoyed our vacations in this beautiful big house and one block to the Gulf Beach. I brought my 21' boat and was perfect in the private dock, and I rented a jetski. I had some questions to the managers and they answered me in minutes. If you want a great vacations near to the beach this is The House.

Family Trip in AMI

The house was very clean and in a great location. Plenty of room for the whole family. Loved the big round table in kitchen and screened, outdoor dining area. Game area was great for older kids and house was equipped with beach toys for younger kids and even a wagon to help push everything to beach. Also loved the outdoor shower and restroom so you wouldn’t have to track water and sand in house. I only have a few comments that could have made the stay just a little better. Have the pool cleaned prior to new guests checking in - we arrived on Friday with the pool filthy and had to wait until Saturday mid afternoon until it was scheduled for service; equip kitchen area with cutting knives - there was only a bread knife available, either add DVD player or ability to download apps to smart tv - for family movie night; and lastly put AC unit in game room as it would get very hot and uncomfortable to play in. Other than those, Would still highly recommend this house for any family looking for a great house in a great location.

That house is perfect. The time we spent in it was beautiful. My parents were in love with the view seen from the terrace.   Everything was very clean, well equipped, the location is excellent, restaurants and shops just a few steps away, the beach just one block away and the beautiful bay just behind the house. The pool area is great to relax while you keep an eye on the children (especially if you have four like us) they loved everything.   Thanks to the management for being so attentive and helpful.   We will be back soon.
