Wonderful

Great location. The Ugly Grouper Restaurant was a short walk and had something for everyone, including live music. We also enjoyed our time cooking and reading by the small pool. The lovely landscaping around this home gives plenty of privacy. Found it very easy to go for my morning run or stroll to the beach for sunset. This house was perfect!

Fourth stay and it keeps getting better!

This was our fourth stay in this incredible house, and it truly feels like a home away from home for our family. We keep coming back because it’s simply perfect — from the thoughtful little touches throughout the home to the unbeatable location just steps from the beach. The pool is a favorite for all of us, and the house always feels fresh, clean, and beautifully maintained. Every time we visit, there’s something new — updates or features that make it even better than before. It has everything we need and more. We’re so grateful to have found this gem and can’t wait to return again!

Third time back and still want more!

This is our third time stating in this lovey home. The location is absolutely perfect…we can walk to the beach, dinner, shops, ice cream and much more. The walk to the pool is simply stepping out of the sliding doors. The property manager is extremely responsive and helpful. Cannot wait to return….again!

Fantastic house and location!

Perfect size for our family of 6, plenty of space to spread out a bit. Beach is just a short walk away and coming back to our very own private pool was the icing on the cake. The kids had an absolute blast. Amazing location as well, centrally located and just a quick golf cart ride to pretty much anywhere on the island. We had no issues whatsoever during our stay and Raye was a great host. The place is expertly decorated, very clean, and has a plethora of modern features. We will definitely be staying again!

Amazing Return Trip

We stayed at this house 2 years ago and were so happy it was available again for our return trip to AMI. The proximity to the beach is amazing and the house comes with a great beach cart to easily carry all your gear. We stayed in the house with our kids ages 5, 3 and 8 months. There was plenty of space in the house and the pool was a great spot for the afternoons after the kids had enough at the beach. The house is walking distance to The Ugly Grouper restaurant, an ice cream shop and a few stores. Everything else is a short drive away. The house is incredibly clean!! The host responded quickly if we had any questions. We loved our stay and hope to keep going back!

Birthday Holiday

Wow! We spent a week at A Turtle’s Nest, our second visit to the island but our first time staying here. It’s a beautiful property, modern and stylish but also comfortable and relaxing, and we felt at home surprisingly quickly. It’s very much a luxury holiday home - my favourite kind! Everything is of high quality - the appliances, the fixtures and fittings, the crockery and cutlery, even the tea towels are plush! The bed is super comfy, like sleeping on a cloud. There’s an abundance of fluffy bath towels and pool towels, and a delightfully old-fashioned whistling stove-top kettle for tea drinkers like us. We enjoyed spotting the little turtle touches all over the house, and appreciated the labels on switches and other devices that made life easier. The location is perfect, on a quiet street just a short stroll to the beach. We love Anna Maria Island - the beaches, the sunsets and the wildlife, and hope to return again in the future. Our favourite food recommendations would be a burger at The Waterfront, fish at The Porch and steak at SALT Bar & Table. It’s been an absolute pleasure staying here. We don’t usually stay at the same property twice, but I’d make an exception in this case. I couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate my 50th birthday. Thank you Raye!

Perfect beach home away from home!

Very cozy, great style, clean and had everything we needed for the perfect beach getaway. My only suggestion is to put black out curtains in the bedrooms, because the neighbor’s exterior light sensor is very bright and goes off and on throughout the night. I brought an eye cover which helped. Other than that we absolutely loved our stay there!

Thank you for your five star review. Our neighbors installed a new outdoor light. We alerted them to the issue with their motion light and they made adjustments so it no longer turns on. We since stayed at the house and it is no longer a problem. Thank you for your feedback.

We loved this home. It was so clean, well decorated and had everything we could need.

The house was so nicely decorated. There were plenty of beach/pool towels, a wagon to pull stuff to the beach . The house even had beach chairs, cooler and umbrellas for the beach. Our favorite part was the pool. It was such a fun place to cool off and private from the road. The beach was a quick walk from the house. The house was also close to restaurants and ice cream shops. We even biked to Anna Maria piers and shops. The property manager was very responsive. We will definitely book this house again.

Wonderful times at Anna Maria Island

This was a very nice place to stay at. The home has just been renovated! The location is great - only 5 minutes to the beach, and in a quiet neighborhood. The soundproofing is excellent too - there was some construction on the street during our stay and we didn’t hear the equipment run with closed doors. The communication with the owner was great - when we had any questions, those were answered reasonably fast! The Turtle Nest is definitely on the short list of places to stay for us in the future, for sure.

Wonderful Stay on AMI

We had a wonderful time at 'A Turtles Nest' and Raye is a great host! The house was perfect for our family of 5. The property is beautiful and has all the amenities of home. We enjoyed cooking breakfast in the kitchen (equipped with everything you need). Plenty of space for the kids to spread out and the sun room was perfect to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. We enjoyed walking to the beach every evening for sunset (less than 5 mins). Also loved having the beach wagon and chairs, umbrella, etc that are provided. We will stay here again the next time we visit the island.
