Absolutely loved our stay at this home. Not only is it gorgeous inside and out, the proximity to the beach is incredible, and the backyard/game room is a blast. Our whole family fell in love with this home and we will be back. Perfect stay for the 6 of us, with myself and my wife, along with four kids ages 6-15... plenty of space and fun games to play. 30 seconds to the beach, along with a cart, umbrella, toys, etc... it could not have been any better for us.

The best house so far. We placed a call to maintenance because one of the exhaust fans was dripping water and the staff responded very quickly. The walk to the beach was very short! The pool and game room were fabulous! Hoping to go back to AMI and Sea Creatures Cottage! ##### Amy C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shawna D.

Loved the pool had some shade to cool down and you could catch some rays as well. Beds were great kitchen had all you need to cook meals in. The downstairs gameroom and bar was a hit.. Close to the beach 4 houses and did not have to cross a busy street We will be back to this house enjoyed it to its fullest extent.. Great house check it out you want be sorry. ##### Shawna D.

I would highly recommend this rental for your family trip. We had an excellent stay. The house is very clean and pictures are really reflective of what the property looks like. The location is perfect. Right by the beach and close to several local establishments. One thing that is not listed on the site, is there are 8 beach chairs available and a wagon to tote things to the beach. The only complaint I would have is the pool is always shaded. You can get some sun on the sides of the pool during the peak of the day, but if you like the shade it's perfect. Great stay and we would absolutely return!!

Jul 4, 2023 #### Fantastic Vacation Home & Location We really lucked out being able to reserve this house after we shifted our vacation location from Captiva to Anna Maria due to the hurricane and this house did not disappoint one bit. It had basically everything we needed to have a great time during our stay. The game room and pool were used heavily by both our families, along with the beach chairs. The kitchen had everything needed. The beds were fantastic to sleep on. The whole house was decorated beautifully. Night time sunsets and evening drinks on the top deck were serene. We hope to make a trip back to this place in the near future. Thank you for sharing it with us. ##### Ryan A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clusters Handcrafted Popcorn Jan 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home steps from the beach! Beach house was just as described and photos are very accurate. Enjoyed cooking on vacation as kitchen is well equipped. The location was perfect for walking everywhere. Walk to pier was 1 mile and walk to pickleball courts about the same! Loved AMI and look forward to visiting again. ##### Clusters Handcrafted Popcorn Stayed 15 nights in Jan 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcia M. Nov 18, 2023 #### Sea creatures cottage The house is as expected, it's just like the pictures. Very clean and has everything you need. Location is great also. The only thing I'd change is better pillows on the beds and more towels per bathroom and the kitchen needs more dish towels. Overall this house is absolutely great and I'd stayed here again. ##### Marcia M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy B. Oct 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### First visit Lovely home and equipped fabulously. Would return for sure A few suggestions; bedspreads are very heavy, a railing would be nice to get in and out of pool, a bathroom on pool level would be a great addition to avoid going in house wet, and one bathroom should be equipped with handicap bars. ##### Wendy B.
