Plenty of beach gear (toys, floats, chairs, umbrellas, etc.) and a cart which made the walk even easier. The on-premises washer/dryer was so nice to have. Grill was in good condition and kitchen was well-stocked for meal prep. The private pool was much appreciated especially since we encountered red tide conditions on the beach during our stay. ##### Amy A. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathryn C. Aug 18, 2018 #### Splendid time away for family vacation We were here for an entire week and enjoyed the home away from home. It was very nice to have the pool access for the kids to jump right in when wanting to. Small snafu whith plumbing issues but a call made and prompt maintenance service was quick to respond. It was hot all days but kept cool and comfy when we retreated inside. Amenities were very accommodating. We will recommend this place to others that may want to spend some splendid time away for family vacation. ##### Kathryn C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Constance R., Florence, KY Mar 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Great location close to beach. Pool is lovely and even tho pool is in the front yard it was plenty private with the lush greenery. Unit was clean. But some maintenance issues should be addressed. The toilet does a little ‘ double flush’ …someone 2 years ago mentioned but has yet to be addressed. The pool pump is quite loud. I’d think it hard to sleep in the 2nd bedroom. There is very little information in the unit as to the use of TV/internet. I received a text before checking in warning of a gate alarm and not to turn it off. No such alarm exists. The internet was off when we arrived and after awhile we were able to find the router and reset everything. A little information concerning this would have been appreciated. Access to the unit requires a 10 digit code. If you don’t punch it fast enough it doesn’t work. I finally figured it out but our neighbor had to call VAcasa 3 times. If it has to be 10 digits st least make it the renter’s phone number! ##### Constance R. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Deborah P. Nov 24, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location #### Blue Wave Villa made us blue When we arrived the entry keypad did not work. We called guests services and they did try to trouble shoot but we ended up having to use a key. They sent out a maintenance person who tried to repair the keypad and it did not work for entire stay. Very nice lady who did try to fix the problem. During a heavy rain storm there was a minor roof leak in the bathroom ceiling which we reported so that further damage could be avoided. Guest services wanted us to leave the rental and go to another comparable. After explaining the leak was not dangerous we just want to report it so it would not be a major problem in the future they let us stay. They sent out roofers several days later. Several days into the stay the shower would not drain and the toilet would not flush and leaked from the bottom of toilet. No young people or babies in our party so nothing harmful was put in the flush. Another call to guest services and they said they would try to get a plumber out. We were out all day unable to use the house or pool and using public restrooms waiting for a repair to be made. Late in the afternoon we returned and La Pensee plumbing was working on the repair. They are the best plumbers on AMI!! We called guest services to let them know the repair was almost done. Guest service said they were just going to call us to say they could not get a plumber and we would have to move to another place for the night. What?? So over all the house was pretty basic, minimal pots pans in kitchen. TVs worked fine, pool was wonderful. Two minute walk to the beach, fantastic! Washing machine very tiny, required more loads of laundry be done. Beds not super comfy. Vacasa staff nice but don’t seem to make good judgements about how to handle the above issues and as a result we were pretty stressed out on what was supposed to be a stress free vacation. Vacasa is supposed to credit us for one night of stay and a discount on a future rental. Fair enough but not having to deal with these problems would have been better. We have visited AMI for 30 yrs this is heaven on earth but will in the future think more than twice about Vacasa rentals. Sorry this was not a good experience. ##### Deborah P.

Bei der Unterkunft sollte im Innern wieder mal in die Betten und die Ausstattung der Küche investiert werden. Auch sollten mal alle Schrauben (Türe usw.) Überprüft und nachgezogen oder fehlende Schrauben ergänzt werden. Die Gasflasche von Grill war nach einmal gebrauch leer und wurde bis ende Ferien nicht ersetzt. Leider gab es da auch keine Antwort auf mein Mail. Küche: - Geschirrspüler tropfte Wasser auf den Boden (gemeldet aber wurde in den beiden Wochen nicht repariert) - Abwaschbecken ohne Stopfen Schlafzimmer: Die Betten sind schon ziemlich durchgelgen. ##### Werner W.

Dec 21, 2022 #### Nice House Nice Location Everything people are saying about the unit is true about the quiet street, wonderful pool and 1 1/2 block walk to beach. Could use some easy fixes though - kitchen was under supplied and king mattress was uncomfortable, is worn out and needs to be replaced. Toilet leaked on floor and two calls were needed to get it fixed right. AMI is pricy and hosts need to keep a better eye on maintenance. ##### James D.

I spent 11 nights at Blue Wave Villa West with my husband and everything was fantastic. The house was clean, and just like in the pictures. The owner left inflatable pool toys, beach chairs, umbrellas... you have everything you need plus a very well equipped kitchen. We loved having our private pool. Location is key, about 1 block from the nicest and not crowded beaches and 1 block from the free trolley stop. It is really easy to move around, we also used the monkey bus a lot, an on call shuttle that takes you anywhere in the island. The free trolley runs till 10 pm, after that, you have to ask the monkey bus for a ride. No need to have a vehicle here; we did rent a golf cart for 3 days but again, the island has great transportation options. This house has 1 bathroom, so it is ideal for 2 or 3 people in my opinion. We will definitely stay here again. Thanks Vacasa for our memorable vacation! ##### Marcela E. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Barbara C.

Jul 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Much Needed Getaway to Anna Marie After a last minute decision to visit Anna Marie Island, we were glad to find this rental at a time when “everyone” seemed to be traveling to Florida. It met our basic needs however we would offer a few recommendations. The coffee pot needs replacing because it’s impossible to pour without it leaking. The dining chairs are not only dated and worn but I would recommend chairs without fabric due to likelihood of a damp swimsuit on them. Personally I prefer not to spend as much time doing laundry so suggest a few more bath towels, wash cloths and bath mat. At least 2 per person and a couple of mats. It was nice to have beach towels to use and appreciated them. In order to save money, we cook several meals and would have preferred a better grill and more than 1 steak knife. The washer and dryer weren’t very big but loved the way the dryer dried so quickly. The pool was very nice. We were surprised it was in the front of the house but that wasn’t an issue. We appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella provided. The back yard could use some shrubs or something to give it a more appealing look. Things like cordless phones and wicker indoor furniture really gave a dated appearance and the walls could use some beach pictures or something to make it seem more inviting. At the end of the week it was a good trip and we prefer Holmes beach over other beach locations on the island. It was an easy walk and seemed less crowded. ##### Paul V.

A lot of space for a family of three. Beach is 2 min walking. Pool was always warm. We’ll definitely come back the next year. ##### Olha Y. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shorewalk Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Shorewalk-Vacation-Villas.h13316.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Palm-Beach.h20271.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Singer-Island-Hotels-Palm-Beach-Marriott-Singer-Island-Beach-Resort-Spa.h449170.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Beachside Hotel & Suites Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Beachside-Hotel-Suites.h4995.Hotel-Information) > > [The Colony Hotel Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Colony-Hotel-Palm-Beach.h8074.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h4398.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Port Canaveral, FL](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1489240.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Walk Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Ocean-Walk.h598390.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Edgewater Beach and Golf Resort by Southern Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Edgewater-Beach-And-Golf-Resort-By-Resort-Collection.h803238.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Best-Western-Cocoa-Beach-Hotel-Suites.h18029.Hotel-Information) > > [PGA National Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Gardens-Hotels-PGA-National-Resort-And-Spa.h10355.Hotel-Information) > > [Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Tranquility-Bay-Beachfront-Hotel-And-Resort.h117099.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.ca/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-NEW-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Port-Canaveral.h15605.Hotel-Information) > > [Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-Largo-Hotels-Bakers-Cay-Resort-Key-Largo.h14042.Hotel-Information) > > [The Resort at Longboat Key Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Longboat-Key-Club.h27542.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Resort at the Port](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Radisson-Resort-At-The-Port.h4692.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Key RV Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Key-Hotels-Fiesta-Key-RV-Resort.h4578886.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama House](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Bahama-House.h893658.Hotel-Information) > > [Vacation Village at Weston, Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Vacation-Village-At-Weston.h1062880.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Beach House, Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-Beach-House.h857962.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramar-Beach-Hotels-Embarc-Sandestin.h1054729.Hotel-Information) > > [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h12537.Hotel-Information)
