Well stocked home- great Beach equipment!!! Great kitchen! Great Grill and hot tub!!! Very Clean! Great shower and bathroom. Nice location to beach. Great to work with and communicate!!Only downfall was it is located right beside very busy street and lots of traffic noise. Hard to sit and enjoy the outside. area of house. ##### Nancy M. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dave F. Jan 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Virginia's place is a nice spot that's right next to a trolley stop. There are plazas with shops, restaurants, and bars within a five minute walk. The house is right on Gulf Dr where there's traffic all the time. I tuned it out pretty quickly though, it isn't overwhelmingly loud. I will note that the house is a duplex. The pictures don't show any evidence of this. My neighbors were great though. It was a whole family staying and I couldn't hear them all week unless they were on their porch while I was in the hot tub. ##### Dave F. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Beth Y., Indiana Feb 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute place This spot was cute and cozy, spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed. I like the “pay it forward” policy that gives you lots of little things you need like coffee filters, plastic wrap, laundry soap. We left a few items for the next visitors. There were fresh flowers too. The hot tub was nice and the walk to the beach is short after you cross Gulf Drive. The trolley stop is literally right next to the house which was great! Communication was tough at the beginning and it led to some nerves as we waited for check in procedures. After that was cleared up, everything was great. Internet was spotty. Overall, it’s a good place for two to enjoy AMI. ##### Beth Y. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth L.

Equipped with updated appliances and everything we would need. My husband and I had a wonderful week. Thank you Virginia! ##### Beth L. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Carolyn W. Apr 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Busy/noisy Gulf Ave is busy & other than that that the rental was perfect. Maybe a heads up about how noisy/busy. ##### Carolyn W. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Deborah G. Mar 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Walkable Location Property was perfect size for 2 people, although it has a pullout couch for additional sleeping . Condo had updated kitchen with dishwasher , stove , outdoor grill and all small appliances ready for use . Bathroom update as well with plenty of towels . There were beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and wagon making the 10 minute walk to the beach easy. The location is centrally located just past Holmes Beach of Anna Maria Island with several small cafes that are a short walk . Due to the popularity of AMI , there is the road/traffic noise. ##### Deborah G. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leanne E. Mar 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very comfortable stay We enjoyed our stay and this home has everything you need for a stay on beautiful Anna Maria Island. Trolley stop right outside the door too which was really handy. We would definitely recommend this home, thanks Virginia. ##### Leanne E. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greta T. Dec 31, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Neat and charming! Virginia is a great host, she promptly answered questions and was very helpful. My husband and I stayed in the cottage for one week and we loved the beautiful kitchen. Since we love to cook we found the kitchen to be much better than we hoped for, it had every appliance you can think of including a steamer/ rice maker! We loved the large private patio where you can sit in the sun or shade ( I hear a new outside hot-tub will be installed for the next guest) that will be awesome. The bed was very comfortable. The cottage was perfect for the two of us. We plan to be back to try out the new hot tub! ##### Greta T. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021
