Wonderful Vacation Home

We had a fantastic time at Beach Haven. We had a big group - 4 parents, 7 teens and an 8-year-old. There was plenty of space for everyone. The pool, slide, hot tub and adjacent game area was a huge hit. We initially had to work out some kinks with the hot tub, but the property manager was responsive, helpful and easy to work with. Location was perfectly low key for us, extremely walkable to coffee, restaurants, an Italian market, and shops. 4 minute drive to groceries. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach. Beach wagons, umbrella, chairs and beach towels are provided. Suggestions: The mattresses need replacing. They are lumpy and noisy. We survived. Hooks in bathrooms and outside would help a lot to be able to hang towels and wet suits. The kitchen came equipped with salt and pepper. It also has a Keurig and regular drip coffee maker, which is convenient. We would have liked more forks, a couple of larger frying pans, and a griddle for making pancakes. Overall we would not hesitate to come back, and would definitely recommend!

Family Celebrations

We stayed here last August and had a wonderful time celebrating multiple graduations and cornerstone birthdays with family we do not get to see often enough. The walk to the beach was simple and the teenagers were free to come and go as they pleased. And the beach was breathtaking- we even had a manatee showing off its interpretive dancing in the surf amongst swimmers! The pool was fantastic. Even though they are not little kids, the teens, 20-somthings, and a few adults enjoyed the slide. The spa wasn't heating up at first (not that it is needed in August), but management was responsive and sent a tech out to check on it quickly. We are hoping to be able to do it again!

Unusual vacation

The property was nice and proximity to the beach and restaurants was within walking distance. Property management company was difficult regarding communication. Hurricane info was just look at a website and we were asked to move outdoor furniture and evacuate. Food was taken from counter,fridge and freezer while we were gone Lost 3 days no compensation and only comment about stolen food was we should have purchased insurance. Also checkout time was 10am but cleaning people were in the driveway at 830 am. Also road and housing construction next door beginning at 7am. Because of construction could not get into driveway.

Wow what a beautiful house!!!

It was everything we needed! With 9 adults and 10 grandkids under 10 we all enjoyed this home! Plenty of room to have peace and quiet if you need it! Loved the pool and slide!! Enjoyed the pool and foosball tables. The landscaping around the pool is beautiful!! We had a strong one night and woke up with palm branches and coconuts in the hot tub! Short walk to the beach was nice but the red tide was bad. Burnt our eyes and coughed and got a sore throat. One of the best things was the ice cream place was a block away! The kids loved this! We had trouble with the dryer. It kept tearing clothes up. We had to go to the laundromat just a block away. They were very good at compensating us though for the ripped and stained clothing. I would highly recommend this place if you have a big family! Bring bug spray, mosquitoes were pretty bad!!

Not as advertised

Solid location. Responsive management. Not clean. Floors with dirt everywhere. Chairs and sofas with crumbs everywhere. Light switches dirty everywhere. List goes on and on. The cost at a 5-star rate was not worth the value.

Great House

We lived our stay at Beach Haven. Everyone had their own bedrooms and for the most part, bathrooms. The adults loved the rooftop deck for sunrises and late night glasses of wine. The water slide was a big hit with all the kids. Nice 2-3 block walk to the beach but the kids’ favorite was the one block walk to Small Town Creamery which they did every day for a yummy ice cream treat. Perfect house for multi-family trips. Would definitely rent again!

Fabulous house

Beach Haven was a fabulous house for our large family ranging in ages from 2.5 months to 65 years. The kitchen was well equipped and updated, we had plenty of towels and the decor was perfect. It’s a bit of a hike to the beach with tents and little ones, but wagons were provided. Exploring the island was not an option due to COVID-19. Fantastic rental and we had a blast.

Stay at Beach Haven

We loved our week stay at Beach Haven on Anna Maria Island! The location of the house is perfect, close walking distance to shops, restaurants, and a very short walk on a quiet road to the beach. The house was awesome! We loved the many private bedroom/bathroom suites with plenty of privacy for everyone. The common areas are beautiful and the pool area is amazing! The only drawback were the mosquitos! AMI locals was very quick to respond to a minor problem. Check in and check out was super easy and convenient! We would definitely love to stay at this property again!

Family Memories

We had a wonderful time at this property! Perfect place to gather as a family. Everyone was able to have their own personal space and also be together! Very comfortable, clean and great location! I will warn that the outdoor area we thought we would be in the entire time and due to the bugs and shade, we didn’t enjoy it like we hoped to! My kiddos left with a lot of bug bites, definitely invest in some sort of repellent! Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay. They made it very easy for a large party to feel at home and have SO MUCH fun! Would definitely stay here again & have had many friends ask about the property after seeing my photos!

A Week in Paradise

This house provided the perfect fit for our family’s get together - 6 sisters celebrating our mother’s 95th birthday. Everyone enjoyed the king bedrooms with en-suites. The pool and outdoor living area were resort-style. The rooftop deck to watch sunsets was awe inspiring. The hot tub was a nice touch here too! The island provided lots to see and do - beach, shopping, refreshments - all within a short walking distance. The Waterfront Restaurant was worth the very short drive for great seafood. A wonderful experience all around!
