Other rebuilt homes on the island usually require climbing multiple flights of stairs up or taking small elevators. Florida's best-kept secret, Anna Maria Island (AMI), features beautiful white sugar sand beaches, older Florida charm, award-winning restaurants, and shopping all within easy walking distance or a ride aboard the free "Anna Maria Island Trolley". One of the few places in the world where the sunset is regularly applauded, this tiny slice of paradise stretches for 7 miles into the Gulf. Just across the Cortez bridge on the south side of the island, is the old school Florida fishing village of Cortez, where restaurants have excellent seafood and some have live music.

This property was a very good value. Great location, clean, comfortable bed, amazing pool and the amenities such as the beach chairs and umbrella and bikes were a huge plus. ##### Brittney M.

It was a nice place but the flood issue needs to be fixed. We loved the pool. The inside of the house was just average. Not very fancy. The one bedroom didn’t have an outlet which was inconvenient. Beds were comfortable. ##### Kelley H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Steven A. Jul 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Decent house, pool is not private The house is pretty well depicted in the photos. There is not central ac which in some of photos you can see window units. Window units are fine but these seem to struggle to effectively cool the bedrooms. In the rules your are also instructed to not change the temperature of the units and to use a fan if hot but there is not a ceiling fan in the rooms. The pool is an amazing addition along with the hot tub. However the pool is not private and is shared with the other floor of the house which we did not realize until arriving and another family was in the pool. Looking back at the post it does not say it is a shared pool but it does have a link that shows the other floor. It's not a deal breaker to share the pool especially if the other renters enjoy the same things as you. The first Set of tenants were very similar to us (30s couple) so sharing was ok but definitely cuts in on both occupants quite time. The second group of tenants had 4 small children and invited other families over the pool with their families. On our last night there were at least 10 people in the pool where it was unusable to us. Pictured in the post is an expensive mirrored window that's fine during the day but at night anyone in the pool can see right through the house and there are no curtains for privacy. Being on the bottom floor we heard every footstep of our upstairs neighbors. The owner seemed nice but when I asked if there was a certain setting the pool should be left on at night he seemed annoyed and mentioned we shouldn't really touch the control panel even though there were instructions in the extensive list of rules on how to operate the panel to turn on the hot tub blower, lights, and heat the hot tub. The next morning a pool company was out testing and telling us does and don'ts of the pool. The rules were much stricter then any house I've stayed in, one example being if you smoke or vape on the property you will be police escorted off the property?? This rule was not applicable to us and I completely understand keeping a smoke free house and appreciate it but it just seems excessive. I would still recommend this house to family's that have kids, the kayak and paddle boards on site is an awesome bonus and the pool is far better then alot of other rentals we have stayed at and seen on the island. The location could not be better being such a close walk to the beach and restaurants. Overall we still enjoyed ourselves but wanted to share our entire experience ##### Steven A.

My wife and I really enjoyed the house and the back patio/pool. Kids also loved it, really enjoying the pool. It's a stones throw to the beach and a short walk to Bridge street stores, restaurants, and pier. Rex had his place very clean and offered all essential amenities - cookware, grill, books, internet, and cable tv. We hope to be back! ##### John H.

A short walk away and you found yourself with an array of options for dining, shops and restaurants! Lots to do right around the corner. Rental property provided a lot of options to keep you busy as well from the bikes, kayaks and paddle boards. We found the pool to be our favorite spot for the weekend. ##### Elliot P.
