Heck of a view

We loved the location and the elevator in particular was essential for my elderly father to get around. Wish the outdoor porch was covered so we could have sat outside during the storm but otherwise all was great.

Beautiful House

This was one of our favorites. The house was beautifully decorated and we loved the layout. I, the grandma, had the back bedroom, loved! Huge bathroom and very private. My granddaughter and her friend enjoyed the pool. It was like an oasis! So peaceful. The walk to the beach was very quick which we loved! I can’t say anything bad about our visit. It was A+!!!

Family vacation

This house was in a perfect location, and was very nice. I will say the only problems we had while staying was the TV by the pool does not work, the internet is not strong enough to reach so you cannot watch anything on it, the internet in general didn’t work great, it wouldn’t work on the top floor or on our phones by the pool. The ice makers didn’t work but thanks to quick help from AMI they came and fixed the one the day after we called! If you are looking for a house just steps from the beach and amazing views I highly suggest you stay here! The decor in the house was beautiful! The grill was great to cook on and there is plenty of cookware available if you want to use it! We only cooked in one day but would definitely utilize it more next time! The location to the grocery and other stores is perfect! Highly recommend Lazy Laggerhead and the management company!

Gorgeous bright home!

Our family of five had a fantastic stay at this beachfront home. It was clean, well equipped and such a happy spot to settle in for a week. We enjoyed sunsets from the balcony and easy access to beach and pool. The kids could run back and forth to their liking which was ideal. Highly recommend this home! Elevator was a hit w the little one too!

Family Fall Break

We had a wonderful time! Beautiful views, amazing sunsets and a private pool oasis! The beach views from the balcony made my coffee taste better than ever each morning. The only thing is there was no drip coffee maker....so we bought one and left it there for the next visitors wanting a big pot of coffee each morning.

Great location and house, relaxing for the family

This property was perfect for our family - beach front on the Gulf, private pool for hanging out, activities on the property, 5-10 minute drive to everything you need on AMI and Cortez. The warm gulf water and sunsets were simply amazing. The beach is right out the door and the water was like a warm bath. The kids loved being in the pool with Netflix playing on the patio TV, while we relaxed in the jacuzzi. The pool area lighting into the palm trees is fabulous after dark. The billiards table in the finished garage was a nice time-filler for the family. The beach wagon and noodles in the garage storage room were very helpful. The property is well maintained and clean. The stand-alone ice maker is a big plus if you're filling small coolers for the beach or boating. The Internet connection is a healthy 100Mb/s and easily handled the array of phones, iPads and laptops we had. Publix and Walgreens are 1-2 minutes away. Things we would suggest for improving an already great house... - The numerous smart TVs are great but there are no sound systems that we could find. A Bluetooth capable sound system would be highly desired in the living area and in the pool patio area. - A few more baking pans and utensils for the cooks in the family would be appreciated. There's plenty of pots and pans to make meals, but no pans we could find to allow us to bake brownies or a cake. - Leave the hose for rinsing feet at the front door. The outdoor shower near the pool works great but it's a long way from the front door for folks returning from the beach. We purchased a $20 hose. Although there are two hose hangers, no hose was at the house when we arrived. - Post instructions at the spa control panel. The buttons are simple enough but if you've never used that style of jacuzzi, it takes some trying to know when the heater is working. We had a great time and really loved the house.

An Amazing Property

This was a great house, amazing location, sized and equipped very well. The front view is one of the best on Anna Marie, steps away from the beach. Pool and hot spa provided a little cooling shade in the afternoons. We hope to be back.

Outstanding Stay

This was a beautiful location for six adults who want to maximize time on the beach, enjoy the convenience of being close to grocery stores, restaurants, etc, and enjoy staying in a cooking. The home was wonderfully clean. Only two suggestions, I’d consider adding more loungers by the poolside. Two loungers makes is difficult for multiple people to stay near the poolside together. Even if they were made available in the storage room and guest needed to bring the out for us. Also, the beach chairs do need replaced.

Beautiful, well-designed home in a convenient location.

This home is very well designed and well-built. The private yard with pool and hot tub is a pretty and welcome oasis. The views of the Gulf are spectacular. The attention paid to design and amenities, including an elevator, leaves one lacking for nothing. And the place was spotless when we arrived. We couldn't ask for more.

Our family spent the Christmas holiday at this beautiful property. Everything was perfect! The beach was steps away and my daughter loved the pool & hot tub! Publix and CVS were close by for groceries & any other needed supplies. The island cafe at the public beach was a short walk down the beach for an easy lunch option. The home was spotless & beautifully decorated with comfortable furnishings and bedding. We would definitely rent this property again!

This property is better than what is on the listing! The beach is so close and like having your own private beach. Pool and hot tub are huge bonus. The place is immaculate, has everything you would want while on vacation! We stayed for 10 days and only left the property twice! Close to Publix for groceries, Walgreens, etc. It is spotless and everything is new and "smart"! The rental company was very easy to work with! Hope to stay here again!!
