Jun 2, 2024 #### Wonderful home Island Serenity was a very nice home. It was stocked with everything we needed. We loved all the porches, the furniture, and the layout. We were able to spread out and enjoy our time. We loved the foosball table as well. We brought our hypoallergenic dog for the first time and while we enjoyed it, our son's asthma flared. We realized that despite the home being clean and nice, it was not good for asthma. ##### Lindsay S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy, clean, stocked We had a wonderful time!

Aug 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Stay at Island Serenity on Anna Maria Island We had a wonderful time at Anna Maria Island! It was our first time visiting and we loved every minute of it. The house was amazing! Everything we needed was provided, including all we needed in the kitchen. Check-in was a breeze. The house is immaculate, spotlessly clean and beautiful. The neighborhood was very quiet and the house is steps from the pool, which was also clean and quiet. It was basically like having your own private pool with the house. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and the kids loved the gameroom downstairs! Beach towels and all linens were provided and there were plenty of beach toys in the house and even a large tent/canopy to use at the beach. We loved our stay at Island Serenity and are already looking forward to visiting again next summer. ##### Brian B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### LAUREEN S. Mar 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### AnnaMaria Island The condo/house is large and spacious, many amenities provided - though some of the beach chairs were broken. Loaner bicycles which would have been great because the island is so crowded. This is only real negative, though not the fault of the owner or rental agency. Wait times of 90 minutes to go out to dinner, insane traffic jams, no green space except on beaches (which are beautiful). We were without water for several days due to leaking water pipes - but this too is no one's fault. ##### LAUREEN S. Stayed 14 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### maria L. Jul 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely townhouse in convenient location The townhouse is just as advertised - the pictures showing the property are accurate and the accommodations were very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Some functional elements of the home need to be addressed such as the patio door needs some WD40 (hard to open) and the kitchen needs more utensils and pans - a whisk would have been nice. It is not set up for someone who loves to cook. Regardless, the appliances are nice and we loved having access to the awesome grill. What isn't mentioned in the description, is the great game room on the ground level. Lots of fun. The walk to the beach took about 5-10 minutes, once we found the shortcut through the property. We also especially liked the 5-min walk to the dog park. Don't miss it if you're bringing your four-legged family member. We would absolutely stay again! ##### maria L.

Feb 14, 2023 #### Great unit close to beach We stayed at Island Serenity for one month. We loved the space this unit offered. Maintenance was quick to provide help for just a few small things when we arrived. The walk to the beach is 0.3 miles (10 minutes max) and the unit has a wagon and beach chairs. We also enjoyed the heated pool which is right outside the back patio. The only real complaint we have is that we could not get the TV's upstairs to work. We had "tech savvy" younger people look and they couldn't figure them out either. There were two of us working remotely and the wi-fi did "drop" and needed to be reset several times. Not a big deal, but it decreased work productivity by at least 45 minutes each time. Loved how close this unit is to restaurants and retail. We were able to walk to places which was needed during traffic which was much heavier this year due to road closures. ##### Lisa F.

Jan 3, 2023 #### Island Serenity # 54 We have rented in the Village on two other occasions, I was somewhat disappointed in this home, we did enjoy our stay. The on call staff was great, they addressed our every need. The house was not cleaned to the standards we have seen in the past. The upstairs shower curtin is discolored and stained. The upstairs TV's really never worked, someone came and worked diligently on them one day. I did not want to take time out of our day to have someone come again.I don't know if things like this are checked before renting, there were not specific instructions for the turning on of the TVs, downstairs TV was fine. The porch was very dirty with a layer of black dust, When we arrived the trash can was full, so our trash had to be placed on the floor of the garage. Overall your staff, aside from the cleaners, were great. The cleaners did not fully unload the dishwasher, the cutlery rack was full but we did not notice until a couple of days later. We asked for more cutlery, but was not needed if the washer had been unloaded by the cleaning staff, I felt awful about this. I only mention all this for the next renter, these are minor issues but when spending close to 3,000. a week they are worth mentioning. Overall we had a lovely time and will be returning to Anna Maria in the future. ##### Linda H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aimee H.

It is located close to a lot of great restaurants…….Hurricane Hanks and The Ugly Grouper were both really good. We had perfect weather all week and the beach was amazing! Clear water and white sand, only a 5 minute walk. They have all of the beach items that you need…….chairs, wagon, toys, floats, etc. The kids really enjoyed the foosball and ping pong tables. Our code would not open the door when we first arrived and they sent maintenance over. Tommy was great, very informative. We had an awesome trip and will most definitely be coming back next year! This was our first trip to AMI and we have found our new vacation spot! ##### Mandee W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yousef M. May 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The property was nice and a well kept neighborhood. Enjoyed the stay. A short walk to the beach. The only issue was the public works nearby which was necessary. ##### Yousef M.

It had everything one needed for a very comfortable stay and the location was perfect for a short walk to the beach or to downtown. The outside screened in patio was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy. The palm trees outside seemed like you were in a tropical forest. We even saw hummingbirds among the trees. We loved it here and can't wait to return. Also a big thank you to the office staff that were always very helpful. ##### Cheryl R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly K., Chelsea, MI Jan 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect place to stay for our family vacation We were pleased with the location, comfort, and cleanliness of the townhouse. We were impressed with the accommodations as it met all our needs, including the provision as a dog friendly home. We were able to walk to the beach, the dog park, some restaurants, and shops from the townhouse. We appreciated the privacy and private setting of the neighborhood. The pool was really nice; warm and clean. We had the best vacation, and the place we lived in for nine days greatly impacted our enjoyment. We won’t stay anywhere else on Holmes Beach! ##### Kimberly K. Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy S. Oct 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely condo Tranquil setting yet close to shops and restaurants on AMI as well as the beach. Great screened porch that overlooks the pool. Condo was as shown in the listing. Just a 5 minute walk to the beach. ##### Cathy S.
