May 25, 2024 #### Cute studio fun, close to everything! We really enjoyed our long weekend getaway. This place offered everything we needed and it's close to everything! We never had any troubles with the WiFi, which was good because we had to check into work a few times. The beds were comfy. The place was so clean too! Can't wait to come back in a few weeks! ##### Ashley J. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer C. Jun 16, 2025 #### A Week of Bliss Location, location, location was terrific! A quick walk to the beach, a drug store and a grocery store, even a beach shop. My unit was small but clean. A couple of the pillows smelled a little bit funky but other than that, it was a blissful week of sun, waves and sand on beautiful Anna Maria Island! ##### Jennifer C. ### 8/10 Good #### Kathy H. Sep 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Florida 2024 Very easy to reserve. Information was given in timely manner ##### Kathy H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter M. Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A really great location This unit was close to the beach, close to everything else on the islands. The communication on how to get into the unit was unclear, and there was a problem where the emergency key lock box had the same combination as for all of the other units. I will say this though, one night there was some sort of electrical shortage that was causing the electricity in the entire block of units to fluctuate wildly. I didn't notice until I got home and it was late but I contacted the emergency number and they had someone out there and it was fixed. I was really surprised at the promptness and they did a great job. I would rent this unit again! ##### Peter M. Stayed 15 nights in Jun 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Jackson S. May 1, 2024 #### Cheap place The place was affordable and from pictures looked nice for our week stay in Anna Maria. It served us well but we had several concerns…there was mold in the bathroom and smelled musty throughout the room. We found pieces of glass on the floor that had not been cleaned up from a previous tenant? The WiFi user and password given to us never worked so we used cellular data the entire trip. Instructions to get in and which unit was ours was very confusing, there were several units and doors with codes but instructions were vague. It was a very short walk to the beach and they had chairs/umbrellas/accessories open for us to use- that was very nice. Overall if you’re looking for just a cheap little place to stay while spending your days on the beach this is great access and affordable but not high quality. ##### Jackson S. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susana Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Muy buena ##### Susana Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [W South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-South-Beach.h11881.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Orlando at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Orlando-At-WALT-DISNEY-WORLD-Resort.h7374428.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [Reunion Resort & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Reunion-Resort-Golf-Club.h992499.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Ft-Lauderdale17th-Street.h11909.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Orlando-Flamingo-Crossings.h58072517.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-B-Ocean-Resort.h5404.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Hilton-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h28591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides on Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Tides-On-Hollywood.h44524455.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Orlando International Drive](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Orlando-International-Drive.h4262.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Margaritaville-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h10005147.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Diplomat-Beach-Resort-Hollywood.h857779.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Miami South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Moxy-Miami-South-Beach.h55553829.Hotel-Information) > > [Walt Disney World Dolphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Westin-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h17159.Hotel-Information) > > [W Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-W-Fort-Lauderdale.h2335216.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Fort-Lauderdale-Marriott-Harbor-Beach-Resort-Spa.h21880.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bahama-Bay-Resort.h1056615.Hotel-Information)
