Needs Attention!!

Great house but disappointed with a few things that should be standard. Most of the bed linens were old and worn with stains on them, master bedroom bedding was dingy, didn’t smell clean, pillow sham held together with safety pins. Also no shower curtain in master bathroom. Living room throw pillows were dingy and had rips in them, towels/washcloths were also old and worn and had rips in them. Downstairs bathroom made horrible noises after flushing, not sure what was going on there. The house was very comfortable, landscape was gorgeous but a little investment should be made newer linens, etc would really enhance the experience.

Family reunion

We loved the layout of the house as there was lots of room for all 9 of us to both sleep, eat and play. The beach towels and chairs were a bonus and the little ones were excited about the sand toys they found. The front porch quickly became our favourite hang out after a day at the beach. I would suggest replacing most of the pillows and mattresses as some are badly stained. Of course I did not notice the disturbing sight until we stripped the beds as instructed on our last day. The sheets and bed spreads are fine. We loved the proximity to the beach and the privacy of the yard. The back yard could use some TLC. The front of the property is charming and cozy.

Perfect for our group!

Our first visit to Anna Maria Island. The floor plan and location were just right. Easy walk (3 blocks) to a beautiful beach or the free trolley, even closer to a small park with playground and basketball court on the intercostal side. Several options to gather or spend time alone with seating outside on 3 separate decks plus the patio. Beach wagon, folding chairs and sand toys were appreciated. We spent most of our time walking the beach, exploring the island, shops and restaurants. The free trolley was a nice way to see other parts of AMI without having to park. The Ugly Grouper was our favorite but get there early. Nice landscaping and palm trees helped property feel more private. Perfect relaxing vacation base for our family.

Awesome Hideaway!

Totally enjoyed our stay and all of the house amenities. Very clean, comfortable and lots of extras we did not expect like a really nice welcome bag. The staff was amazing to work with and even met us at the house with a very minor wifi issue. The gentleman, without us asking, made a courtesy call to one of the local Publix to confirm they carried distilled water. Talk about going above and beyond, very much appreciated.

It was okay. They charge us a cleaning fee, but we had to wash all the towels that we used. I didn’t make sense for us! Also, there were rats around the garden and the AC wasn’t working correctly it was to hot.

Great Location-Spacious Home

Our stay here was great! There was plenty of room for two families. We used the back patio a lot! We had a few small issues with the coffee pot, disposal, and cooking utensils but the rental company addressed our needs/concerns immediately. If I had a critique, it would be the knives and pots/pans. The knives were not very sharp and we could have used more and/or larger cookware. Thanks for a great stay!

Beach vacation on Anna Maria Island

My friends and I enjoyed this house. It's cozy and cottagy but ample enough to accommodate two families. The house provides all of the necessities you could think of, and the welcome "goodies" bag was a bonus. The house was clean and well kept. I loved the patio rocking chairs in the front porch that did not seem to be rocking chairs at first sight! Some suggestions would be to have a couple more chairs for the dining table and better quality bath towels. The upstairs A/C unit cooled the rooms unevenly. Overall, we had a comfortable and great experience.

Beach Bums from Pittsburgh to Anna Maria

Location is everything when we plan our beach vacation. This house was only 2 blocks from the beach access which we loved. It is on a narrow area of the island (with many residential houses) so the beach was not crowded. We fly from to Florida not drive…So if you don’t drive down or have a rental car this is how we got around. We had a car service called ALD Limos from Sarasota airport take us to our beach house. It’s only a 5 minute walk to the trolley stop from the beach house. We rented a golf cart that seated 4 and we had 8 in our party so we used the trolley and the golf cart. I recommend reserving a golf cart at least 2 months in advance because they get booked up quickly. At least the less expensive ones do. Our golf cart was 750 for the week (bc we waiting to book) and other places rented there’s for 350 for the week. Just a heads up to save some $$. The Publix grocery store was 0.6 miles from us. Beautiful beach~~amazing sunset~~warm water~~got to see manatees swim by along with dolphins on a separate day. We honestly don’t care about the beach house amenities. As long as there are enough bedrooms and baths we are happy!! So if your looking for an updated beach house this may not be for you. The place was very clean and had everything we needed for our vacation. Bean Point was also a beautiful place to head to with your morning coffee to look for shells and just take in the gorgeous sunrise. We love Anna Maria Island and will definitely visit again! I tried to include things in my review about the location and transportation that others left out because I had to read through endless reviews for tidbits of info that I was looking for.

Great location!

While we liked this property as it was walking distance from the beach, and the bay. We’ve stayed at many other properties that came more stocked. So if you’re used to that - it’s a bit shocking to not have any spices or condiments. Most other properties also go by a if you use it up - replace it. Such items like TP or Paper towels. Those are just minor things and something we are used to. As far as everything else goes, the house could stand some updating. The front deck didn’t really feel safe as it is sagging super bad. The single bed room on the first floor had a water leak coming through the walls while it rained. We notified the management company but never saw anyone come by. It rained all week, so unfortunately that room was not useable. We did enjoy our time though!
