Clean. Has everything you need for a short stay at the beach. AC not very cooling for the majority of the day. However, the pet friendly feature & close access to the beach are great assets.

Wedding

We had a lovely time. The property was exactly what we were looking for. The only thing that would have been better, if the listing stated all included items (coffeemaker, iron, gas BBQ grill etc) in the listing. Aside from that, everything was perfect. We enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay.

This is a clean property in a great location. Everything worked, except there were three light bulbs that needed to be replaced. The TV only provides streaming and I wished they had local TV channels, especially for the news. Neither of these minor issues would keep me from coming back.

Wonderful property

This rental property was available as described online. Fantastic accommodations and extremely well located on AMI, within about a 3 minute walk to a very nice strip of uncrowded beach. The unit itself was very well accommodated and comfortable, again, exactly as described and shown. Would book another stay here in the future and overall very recommended!

Wedding Prep House

Both of us couples liked the showers and kitchen, along with the quietness at night. We were close to the wedding venue in Anna Maria Island's Grand Pavilion at the Sandbar, and the gentleman who helped us get into the unit was cordial. Yes, we are all over 64!! Electrical outlets need replacements.

Great location, property management needs work

Great location one block from beach & don’t have to cross busy Gulf Dr to get there. The property is dated but clean and more spacious than pictures let on. While kitchen is small , we had no trouble making meals for 3 of us. Issues we had with property were holes in towels in master bath and cable TV being messed with service people there 2 days of our 4-day trip which messed up timing of activities. The property management involves VRBO plus two other companies and was the most complicated booking I’ve experienced in using VRBO and other providers MANY times over the last 15 years, including many on AMI. The sending of the contract in assignable form was all messed up & multiple email exchanges and emails supposedly sent to me but never received. The fact that there are 3 rental agencies in the process resulted in way too much “ask the other party”. Pleasant people but spent way too much of my time on what should have been a simple rental.

Excellent and secure location

Everything about this location is perfect. Such a short stroll to the beautiful beach and sunsets. The property manager was very responsive and took care of a minor issue with the HVAC without half hour of our arrival. I would say, especially for longer stays, this home could use some updating. The twin beds were uncomfortable and the mattress toppers extremely noisy. The kitchen could use new cookware, toaster and better supplies. Decor is very dated. However, the home was clean and provided us a great 6 day vacation.

Beach access great!

1. Very convenient access to beach, a very beautiful sandy beach, for the week nearly smooth surf, perfect weather, balls of minnows w/ mullet and dolphins grazing on them just feet from shore, and great sunrises and sunsets; 2. Comfortable living spaces; king bed did have lumps in mattress interfering with sound sleep; 3. Kitchen was fairly well equipped, but too small for more than 1 person at a time; frig missing shelves making use of it limited; 4. Thank you for a great experience!
