Walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. Very clean! Had plenty of bath and beach towels, hair dryer, beach umbrellas and chairs, everything we needed. The backyard is beautiful and very private. The owners were staying on the other side of the duplex. Great couple! Made us feel very welcome and at home. Gave us lots of great restaurant ideas where the locals go. Even put a towel to dry the seats on our golf cart after it rained one night. We will definitely be back! ##### Colleen O.

We absolutely loved this little house! It was perfect for our family of four. It was the cutest house and was SO well stocked!! It had beach chairs, pool floats, beach umbrellas and a cabana, and a cart to transport all of it. The beach is just under a half mile walk that was flat and easy. The water was so calm and clear! Our kids found so many sand dollars, crabs, and shells. Manatees swan right up to the beach every day! We spent our days at the beach and our evenings swimming in the pool in the beautiful backyard. It was a tropical oasis! The kids loved having their own bedroom and bathroom. The master bedroom had a king size bed and the bathroom was right next to it. The island is so chill and we could walk to several restaurants and shops. Note that most everything shuts down at 9pm, so plan accordingly. We found that we had to go to eat dinner at 5 or else it would quickly turn into a 2 hr wait. We have found our new favorite beach and vacation destination. We will definitely rent this house again! ##### Christy H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Billy T. Sep 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for the most part. The property was easy to find coming from Tampa airport. First walk through everything looked great. Property was great for a short stay. We stayed the whole week utilizing a lot of the house. Some of the electrical outlets were not attached to the walls. We had to be very careful plugging-unplugging phone chargers and appliances. The property came with ample towels and it was great that it came with beach towels since we flew in. The property also provided chairs and an umbrella for the beach with a cart. We were also pleased to see they had put things in the closet that other people had left behind like laundry soap so we didn’t have to purchase just to throw away. We left toilet paper and dish soap and bug spray and sunscreen behind. Hopefully to help the next guests out. Then it came time for bed. The property did come with a king size bed which we were excited about since my husband is 6’3. Unfortunately the bed was VERY uncomfortable quite a bummer. Every day for the most part was great till our last full day at the house and the pool company came and shut our pool down from Thursday at 730 am till Friday am. They didn’t have a chlorine floater In the pool so they had to shock it while we were there. A call to the office and they tried their best to help the situation. The girls at the office were super nice. Would definitely use the Anna Maria life company again just at a different house. Thank you for a great vacation!!! ##### Billy T.

It’s compact, but has everything you could need. Comfortable beds with extra bedding, private pool, new appliances, pool and beach toys! The pool and back patio are perfection. The pool is large and has a sun deck and surprise bench seating in the deep end. We loved having a private pool and space to cool down in after a long day at the beach. The beach is walkable ( closest access point is 65th street, but we found 68th or 70th street to be best for parking a car or golf cart. ) Our family of four can’t wait to book the place again! ##### Aaron G.

The Blue Pelican was perfect for our family. My husband and I and our two teenage boys found the place to be just right for us. The pictures on the listing look just like it appears in person. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, the showers both inside and out had great water pressure and the laundry closet was stocked with detergent for the week. Our favorite space was the quiet and private fenced in backyard, so beautiful with all the palm trees surrounding the clean and warm pool. Just blocks from the beach and close to shops and restaurants. Renting bikes and a golf cart made the trip even more enjoyable for exploring the island. The property had beach chairs, umbrellas, skim board, a cart and toys for our use as well. We will definitely be back to Anna Maria Island and would highly recommend staying at the Blue Pelican! ##### Mary B. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erik L.

Well appointed and location great for beach access and close to some great places to eat. The beds were really comfy. The pool could have been cleaner on arrival and side sitting area bit dirty and unappealing but overall we had a great stay. ##### Jessica S.

Perfect little beach house for a family of 4! ##### Charles S. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emerson B.

My family of four had one of the most relaxed and refreshing stays at this property, with the HUGE amenity of the private pool. We enjoyed it so much that it was difficult for us to get out of the pool before sunset. ##### Emerson B. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Blair W. Feb 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Look no further! House was as described in pictures, and very clean. Owners were previous renters, so they know what you want to have when you get there, and it's all there. Comfortable beds! Six minute walk to the beach (with a nice litte piece of artwork for directions!). House includes beach chairs, beach umbrella, and a wheeled cart to get them to the beach! Pool was nice and private, and came with nice floaty chairs. Overall, a great stay; if you're looking to go to Anna Maria Island; look no further! ##### Blair W.
