Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Anna Maria Island where your memory lasts a lifetime This home had everything we needed. Kids loved double bunk beds, if you have kids, upstairs of the home is kids only zone and their shower was better then mine downstairs. Kitchen area was small but big enough for basic use, just watch you head when you are clocking, vent is low. I waa glad Master Bedroom was downstairs, it never got too hot. Although most homes like to control temp of inside, this one did not, we kept home cool for the entire stay. Due to recent storms and water leaves, beach area was small in afternoon unexisting in early day hrs but this didnt bother our kids, you can walk further down and beach was 3 houses down if you want to set out chairs. Next door home is currently undergoing renovation, hopefully they will be finsihed soon. One thing I did not like is lack or privacy. Other side of home is open beach access to public that was busy all the time, night and day. During day, people would walk by and stare if we were upfront or patio, would try to set up chairs on wall despite the sign that states its private property and there was no trespassing. Living room area is mildly hidden by a screened-in patio, during the day was fine but at night, lack of blinds or privacy film on widows left us feeling exposes and felt like we were displayed to folks that were walking by accessing beach from the street or going on to street from the beach area. Management was amazing. Booking process, payment, checking in and out, effortless.

We cooked several meals there and had everything we needed. Bonus fridge in the garage for extra drinks. The house is located right next to public access for the beach, so there were many days that strangers, and even a unleashed dog, walked onto the property, even though a sign says no trespassing on sea wall. Perhaps a small fence or chain, or landscaping would help keep it more private. You can walk to many shops on Pine Ave. Dips was our favorite ice cream place. ##### Lisa P.

Location on the Beach on the beautiful North End of the island absolutely ideal. Breakfast room looking out over ocean and spacious screened porch on the ocean were wonderful.

Jan 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in #### Great beach but uncomfortable This property is well located on the north shore of AMI facing the inside of Tampa Bay. Lovely water to swim, see dolphins, proximity to shops and restaurants and other beaches. However, the inside amenities are few- kitchen, furniture and beds outdated and uncomfortable. Make sure to bring or plan to buy all necessary cooking items such as foil, paper towel, napkins, detergent, sponge. Towels were ample, but a challenge to cook on stove, burners slanted. Refrigerator freezer does not keep items frozen. No ice so buy. No laying place in living area. Furnishings are limited and uncomfortable. Linens and towels were ample and clean.

Jan 15, 2023 #### Ship Watch for sure The house was recently renovated/updated. When we origionally booked the vacation the photos were different, it looks much brighter and newer. Everythign is new. Very clean. Great view of boats coming and going. Plenty to watch; birds, dolphins, paddle boarders, people gathering scollops. Loved the shade. Often it is very hot at the coast and having the shade tree was awesome. Great location; easy walk to peir, great parking, easy accees and easy to find. The neighbors and people walking to the bay were very nice and friendly. Lots of people walking dogs and sitting on bench to see sunrise at the bay. BEAUTIFUL SUNRISES. Great view of the bridge lit up at night, it changes colors. The birds were awesome. Osprey landing in tree next to us. Heron walking on seawall. So many pelicans. Dolphins every day. So many things to watch. I took so many photos. Information sharing; not being critical, just letting people know. There were plenty of linens, dishes, pots/pans. Small soaps as in hotel. Small bottle dish detergent, pack of dishwasher detergent and small bottle of laundry detergent. There were zero food items, not even salt/pepper. This is good and bad. Do not want old food but often we stay at places that have enough coffee/filters for the first day. The coffee pot is good, makes a full pot or one cup. Does not use K-Cups. If you plan to cook or store food you will need every spice, aluminum foil, storage bowls etc. The bedrooms are spacious. New mattresses are firm. The bathrooms are recently renovated. Very clean and bright. TV uses ROKU. Had a good Internet conneciton. There are 2 garage doors. One is locked, I assume for owners use. The other garage can be opened but it had ceiling fans and stuff I assume from renovation on the floor where we could not get our auto in. Not a problem, just letting people know what to expect. But they items may be gone for next perons. Plenty of room to park in the drives. The area next to the house is public access to the bay and no parking sign. You can get 2-4 cars in the drive. There were 2 outside chairs we used on the deck. The screened porch has plenty of seating and very nice furniture. Lovely home. Plenty of space and awesome views. Quiet end of island with very little traffic. ##### Jackie F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie L.

Mornings were spent leisurely sipping our coffee either in the pretty breakfast nook or out on the deck to watch the sunrise. After breakfast we’d take the short golf cart ride over to Bean Point Beach to float in the most gorgeous, clear water we’ve ever seen, stateside. After cleaning up and having a light lunch, we read or watched a little tv then napped…usually to a little rain shower. We spent so much time watching the ships coming under the bridge. We even saw dolphins swimming by one afternoon! We tried a new restaurant each day for an early dinner. On our last night we grilled steaks and shrimp at home. The kitchen was well-equipped in order to do so. Evenings were spent either enjoying the breeze from the bay on the deck or taking a ride around the island in the golf cart. This home is pet-friendly so our dog Mabel was with us and she had a blast watching all the pelicans and other birds you don’t see in Arkansas. So many exciting new sights and sounds for her to explore in the neighborhood during her walks. This is a residential area of the island so it’s incredibly peaceful and quiet, which was exactly what we were looking for. We visited with the neighbors next door a couple of times. Betty and Kenny are a lovely couple who’ve lived on AMI for the past 40 years! Ship Watch looked exactly as photographed. It’s decorated beautifully and it was the perfect vacation getaway for us. ##### Dede P.

Jan 14, 2023 #### Ship Watch for sure The house was recently renovated/updated. When we origionally booked the vacation the photos were different, it looks much brighter and newer. Everythign is new. Very clean. Great view of boats coming and going. Plenty to watch; birds, dolphins, paddle boarders, people gathering scollops. Loved the shade. Often it is very hot at the coast and having the shade tree was awesome. Great location; easy walk to peir, great parking, easy accees and easy to find. The neighbors and people walking to the bay were very nice and friendly. Lots of people walking dogs and sitting on bench to see sunrise at the bay. BEAUTIFUL SUNRISES. Great view of the bridge lit up at night, it changes colors. The birds were awesome. Osprey landing in tree next to us. Heron walking on seawall. So many pelicans. Dolphins every day. So many things to watch. I took so many photos. Information sharing; not being critical, just letting people know. There were plenty of linens, dishes, pots/pans. Small soaps as in hotel. Small bottle dish detergent, pack of dishwasher detergent and small bottle of laundry detergent. There were zero food items, not even salt/pepper. This is good and bad. Do not want old food but often we stay at places that have enough coffee/filters for the first day. The coffee pot is good, makes a full pot or one cup. Does not use K-Cups. If you plan to cook or store food you will need every spice, aluminum foil, storage bowls etc. The bedrooms are spacious. New mattresses are firm. The bathrooms are recently renovated. Very clean and bright. TV uses ROKU. Had a good Internet conneciton. There are 2 garage doors. One is locked, I assume for owners use. The other garage can be opened but it had ceiling fans and stuff I assume from renovation on the floor where we could not get our auto in. Not a problem, just letting people know what to expect. But they items may be gone for next perons. Plenty of room to park in the drives. The area next to the house is public access to the bay and no parking sign. You can get 2-4 cars in the drive. There were 2 outside chairs we used on the deck. The screened porch has plenty of seating and very nice furniture. Lovely home. Plenty of space and awesome views. Quiet end of island with very little traffic. ##### Jackie F. ### 8/10 Good #### Christine N.

Quiet area, plenty or space in the house. Needs a little updating. ##### Christine N. Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean L.
