It was cooler temps when we were there but the pool was nice and warm which the kids took advantage of.

May 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous Rental! I was looking for a single level rental with pool to bring my 90 year old father for a week. We had the best time and cannot say enough good things about this property. It was absolutely spotless, incredibly well appointed with everything you could want (beach chairs, umbrella, towels, etc.), and so comfortable. We loved having our own covered sitting area for coffee and private outdoor dining table for meals. Access to the lovely, heated pool was just off our back deck. Rasa, the host, could not have been nicer or more accommodating. She answered questions promptly, recommended a golf cart rental company and helped us with restaurant ideas. And you absolutely cannot beat the location - a short walk/golf cart ride to the beautiful beach and convenient to all the shops and restaurants on Pine Ave. Two blocks away is Rod and Reel - we went twice for the grouper!! Thanks for a great week! ##### Carol H.

The photos do not do this charming little enclave justice! The unit itself was very clean with new linens and soft goods and a well stocked kitchen. The cold water knob in the shower was a little difficult to turn but honestly who can complain about an "old Florida" bathroom when you're in the midst of your casual beach vibe?! We brought our children's bikes with us as we weren't sure of the condition of the bikes on site and again were VERY pleasantly surprised to find brand new beach cruisers at the ready for our family bike rides for donuts at the Donut Experiment or morning smoothies at North Shore Cafe. As mentioned, the beach is a very short walk away with beach chairs and umbrellas and toys available for use. There is a washer/dryer on site, a heated pool, outdoor patio and everything you need for a lovely Anna Maria Island escape. We highly recommend renting from Rasa and staying at the Blue Dolphin! ##### Rebecca T. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim A. Jun 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Little Gem! We Loved our stay on AMI! It was our first visit to the island and we really didn't know much about AMI, and I wasn't really sure where to stay. Well, let me say, I did good on my blind knowledge selecting this home. I chose this home based on others reviews on the LOCATION and ammenities that were provided! and boy were they right. We were literally on the city Beach access path in less than a minutes walk. The owner is a very great host, and makes sure your stay has everything it needs. The bikes are Awesome as an added perk, we just needed to rent a kids bike for our 6 year old from down the street, but we all had bikes to ride which was awesome! also, the beach chairs and umbrellas provided were great, and made our beach time awesome. We also flew in from Texas so packed kind of light, and the owner provided the guests with a cooler. (We were so grateful to discover this!) great for packing a lunch, (or beverages) for the beach. The home was very clean and it was just the perfect accommodations for our family of four! I don't want to say book this you won't regret it, because the secret will be let out of the bag.... But.... Don't hesitate to book this sweet little "Old Florida" charming little cottage! it's quite the little gem! We will be back! Thanks Rasa for being such an amazing Host! ##### Kim A.

It was perfect for our family of four. Location was great. Beach was close and beautiful. Great place to enjoy sunset. Shared pool was wonderful. We enjoyed it every afternoon. Owner was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Dana M. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### shannon l. Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Marvelous stay! We had a wonderful stay at Rasa's place. The location was incredible; just a short walk to the pristine beach! The house was cleaned and updated with very comfortable beds. We loved using the back patio/pool. The available bikes were such a treat, as AMI is a very bike able area.Would highly recommend! ##### shannon l.
